Chapter 4

On the third day of Wendy's hospitalization, Erin brought a woman.

She was Xavier's assistant and lover, Lena Lopez.

She was also Erin's rich second-generation friend.

Xavier's affair with her was arranged by Erin and Wendy.

Wendy's family had never truly accepted me.

Xavier married me just for the local household registration.

Now that I was useless, they were thinking of marrying someone more useful.

But they didn't know...

Lena was wearing a Chanel-style outfit today, with wavy long hair and bright red lips.

And the dress I was wearing was bought before we got married.

It was originally a nude color, but it was washed white.

I hadn't bought new clothes since I got married.

"Mrs. Hill, it's nice to see you again. You are still as...simple as always."

"Miss Lopez, you are still so...beautiful."

I didn't miss the pride in Lena's eyes.

Erin pulled her in front of Wendy, and the three of them talked and laughed, just like a family.

And me, I was ordered around like a caregiver.

"Mom, Lena is considerate and filial. If she were my sister-in-law, it would be great."

After Erin finished speaking, she even provocatively glanced at me.

"Erin, Mrs. Hill is still here," Lena's face was about to burst into laughter as she said this.

I pretended not to hear and walked out of the ward.

You won't be able to laugh later.

Just as I turned the corner, I heard Erin's scream from inside.

"Mom, you pooped!"

I was just going downstairs when Erin's call came in.

As soon as I answered, I heard her frantic voice.

"Where have you been? Mom pooped, come back and clean up for Mom!"

"There's a gas leak at home, are you sure you want me to come back now?"

"You..."

"Isn't your sister-in-law Lena there? Let her clean up."

I turned off my phone and came to the cafe.

The clerk looked at me hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Madam, the velvet latte you ordered is 6 dollars."

I smiled.

"I know."

The clerk was very professional and immediately showed a polite smile.

I found a seat by the window.

The sunlight was just right, making people feel comfortable.

People around were coming and going, many of them were well-dressed knowledgeable women.

They were confident and radiant, enjoying the future.

This is life!

Chapter 5

I calculated the time and returned to the ward, but the expected chaotic scene did not appear.

The three of them were eating fruit harmoniously.

"You can't handle the family affairs properly. I really don't know why my brother married you. Lena is beautiful and generous."

Seeing me come in, Erin looked disdainful.

Just as I was puzzled, an aunt in her forties came in with a basin.

Erin couldn't wait to show off again.

"This is the caregiver that Lena hired for mom."

So that was the reason why they were not panicked at all.

"When I came up, I asked the doctor. Mom will be discharged from the hospital in a month. Thank you, Miss Lopez."

"I..."

"You don't have to say it. Lena is the rich second generation. This amount of money is nothing to her, right, Lena?"

"Uh, about that, Erin, I..."

I didn't give her a chance to refuse, and quickly pulled the caregiver over.

"Auntie, please calculate the expenses with Miss Lopez. She is usually very busy, Don't trouble her to come again."

Since you want to show off, I will help you along and do a good deed.

The caregiver auntie gave a discounted price, 600 dollars.

After Lena paid, she leaned close to my ear and said something.

The caregiver auntie might have heard it.

The look in her eyes towards me was full of sympathy.

But she didn't know that I had been waiting for this moment for so long.

Chapter 6

I also wanted to thank Lena, otherwise the Hill family would not let me, a free babysitter, go and spend money to hire a caregiver.

As usual, I came to the restaurant for lunch at noon, but found that there was no customer inside.

Only then did I notice the sign hanging at the door saying "Closed for transfer".

"50 thousand dollars, not a penny less!"

The boss walked out of the kitchen while talking on the phone and was stunned when he saw me.

"Sorry, we can't serve today.

"Our chef's skills are good, but the location of the restaurant is too bad. We have been losing money for a year. I can't bear it anymore."

"What a pity," I sighed.

Unfortunately, I didn't have 50 thousand dollars, otherwise I would definitely take over the shop.

After a few steps, my eyes lit up.

No, I will have 50 thousand dollars.

I went back and find the boss to beg him to give me two months.

I could pay the rent for these two months.

At first, the boss thought I was mentally abnormal.

I told him all the annoying things at home in detail.

The boss was very righteous.

As soon as he heard this, he agreed without hesitation.

Not only did he agree to my conditions, but also reduced the price by 3,000.

Before leaving, I asked him what his name was.

He said his name was Nick Walker.

I smiled.

"Nick Walker, what a good name."

In the previous life, there was a chain restaurant owner who started with a noodle shop named Nick Walker.

I happened to see his interview while watching videos, and there was a photo on it.

Clearly, it was the appearance of the person in front of me after gaining weight.

I felt excited in my heart.

With this luck, it's no wonder I can win the jackpot in the future.

Actually, thanks to the words Lena said before leaving, I was confident that I could get 50,000 dollars within two months.

She thought it was her bargaining chip, but little did she know it was mine too.

Evil people would have their retribution.
