Hannah was overwhelmed with emotion as she gazed at her son’s disheveled state. With tears in her eyes, she choked out, “Harold, I feel so helpless. There’s nothing to eat at home, and the little money he managed to find has been taken by Donald’s men. What do you want me to get you to eat…”


    Wendy, also in tears, replied, “Mom, I’ll find a job tomorrow!”


    Hannah nodded thoughtfully and said, “Finding a job is fine, but you must start tomorrow. Just remember, the paycheck won’te until next month. With the Chinese New Year approaching, we can’t let our family go hungry…”


    At that moment, Lady Wilson chimed in, “It’s truly dire, but you should look for a part-time job! Go for something that pays daily!”


    Wendy agreed, “It looks like that’s our only option…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Meanwhile, on the third floor, Gena was in a meeting with Yadira and Samantha.


    Their situation mirrored that of the Wilson family, but they faced an even bigger challengeck of funds.


    Gena addressed herpanions, saying, “We’re fortunate to be living in this spacious vi. As for meals, we’ll need to find a solution ourselves.”<fna443> Discover more novels at fin?novel</fna443>


    Samantha quickly responded, “Sister Gena, what do you propose? The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and we need to prepare something. Even if we can’t have a feast, we should at least make dumplings for dinner!”


    Gena replied, “This is actually quite straightforward. I know several cleaningpanies that specialize in residential cleaning. They pay around $20 an hour. If the three of us work together for eight hours, we can each earn $100. That totals $500, and with the holiday season, service industry rates are higher. We could also find work at a bathhouse, which pays well. If we all put in the effort, we’ll make enough to get by.”


    Yadira quickly affirmed, “I’m on board! Even if I haven’t had much education, I’m strong enough for the job!”


    Samantha nodded enthusiastically, “We’ll follow your lead, Sister Gena!”


    Gena smiled and said, “Let’s get to bed early tonight so we can search for work bright and early tomorrow!”


    ……


    Next door in vi A05, the atmosphere was quite different.


    Even with a cast on her leg, ine was in high spirits.


    The young couple, Charlie and ire, were enjoying dinner together. ine had her leg propped up under the dining table, and as she ate, she scrolled through TikTok on her phone, looking rxed.


    Seeing her, Jacob couldn’t resist teasing her: “ine, you really are something else! You just broke your leg, and instead ofining, you’re sitting here on TikTok like everything’s fine! This isn’t the usual ine!”


    ine shot him a re and retorted, “What do you know? I’ve evolved! I’ve learned to be my own therapist!”


    Charlie, curious, asked, “Mom, how exactly do you do that?”


    ine waved her hand dismissively: “It’s simple! If I sit here dwelling on my injury, I’ll just feel worse. The more I think about it, the more upset I get. I’d be furious that my leg isn’t healing on its own, don’t you agree?”


    Charlie nodded, “That makes sense.”


    ine chuckled, adding, “So instead, I focus on missing Caroline!”


    Charlie paused, confused, “Caroline? Isn’t that Aunt Cynthia?”


    ine grinned and eximed, “I’ve realized how lucky I am! That con artist Caroline tried to get back at me, and not only did she fail, but I actually got to fight back!”


    “Not only did I stand my ground, but I also gave her a good thrashing. How impressive is that?”


    With a renewed spirit, ine continued, “Now that Caroline is behind bars, I don’t have to worry about her seeking revenge anymore. Can you me me for feeling joyful?”


    ire, surprised, asked, “Mom, who is Caroline? Is she part of a pyramid scheme?”


    Realizing she had slipped up, ine quickly nodded, “Yes, exactly! Caroline is the mastermind behind that MLM scheme! What a despicable person!”
