287 (Third Watch)

They had already inquired, and this little girl had no relatives or background in Capital City.

Her father had died, and her mother was a vegetable!

Such an orphan was surely at their mercy to manipulate!

"Miss Chu, please be reasonable," one of them said, "Your mom has been lying in bed for so many years. It's quite normal for her to get bedsores, right? What does that have to do with us?"

"Exactly! Have you considered the state your mom is in now? Everything she does is in bed; it would be abnormal if she didn't have bedsores! I'm telling you, if you don't pay us the penalty today, we'll just stay here and not leave!"

The two caretakers started throwing a tantrum.

Chu Jin's brows were furrowed with deep anger—she had never known people could be so shameless!

Originally, she thought she was largely responsible for the situation and decided not to argue with them. But to her surprise, they had the audacity to shift the blame onto her!
