Chapter 220

Sure enough, when jack returned home that evening, he was in a foul mood. His nose wrinkled, and his eyes narrowed whenever he thought about the conversation with not.

I had also informed Liam about Jack's attempt to swindle money from me. When he learned about it, his expression turned grim and puzzled.

"Why would family go to such lengths?" Liam asked, confusion evident in his eyes.

I answered calmly, "There are many choices made for profit in this world, and they happen to be like leeches-only good at draining blood."

Liam looked surprised; he probably didn't expect such cold words to come from the "Do we really want to bring down the Wiley family?" He gazed at me, trying to catch any shift in my demeanor. Unfortunately, I remained unchanged, as cold as ice, revealing only a hint of humanity when it was seldom seen.

"The Wiley family is insatiable. I've been drained by them once; it won't happen again." I wouldn't harbor any expectations of familial affection. I only knew that they were beyond saving and that their debts needed to be repaid. Seeing my determination, Liam didn't say anything further. Limagined he felt a pang of sympathy, after all, anyone who had gone through such experiences would naturally feel regret.

Dealing with the Wiley family was only a matter of time. However, as I thought about it, I realized the new academic year was approaching. An awkward expression crossed my face.

Balancing class, work, and confronting the Wiley family seemed like an overwhelming task. Just thinking about it made my days feel impossibly full. I even suspected that it wouldn't be enough even with 24 hours in a day.

As the new semester started, I enrolled in classes. I also made a trip to the dorm to see what changes had occurred with my two roommates. Sharon was still the same, showing little change and remaining as steady as ever.

when she saw me, she wrapped me in a big hug and said, "You've lost weight! Haven't you been eating well?"

I smiled and hugged her back "I've been eating just fine, my dear roommate."

"Evelyn!" Brenda jumped in from behind, bouncing up to us with enthusiasm. "I've missed you so much!"

with a broad smile, I replied, "I've missed you ton!"

into during the break By the afternoon, I had someone investigate the Wiley family

After chatting with them for a while, I learned what everyone had been upt situation, and 1 had a bit of insight.

It wasn't much, but it explained why Jack was so eager to get money from me. It turned out that the Willey Group was facing a serious crisis. Jack didn't have enough money to save the company, and in desperation, he turned to me for the funds,

I guessed he was like a rabid dog at this point, clinging to any hope with reckless abandon. Sure enough, instead of calling to threaten me again, he came directly to confront me. He looked like a mad dog ready to jump over a wall, with his bloodshot eyes and several strands of white hair sticking out

"If you want your grandmother to rest in peace, you'd better help me get the Wiley Group through this crisis," he threatened, his demeanor suggesting he would strangle me if I refused.

feigned being scared and pretended to stutter, "Y-You wouldn't dare!"

Jack, relishing my apparent distress, burst into laughter.

"Whether I date or not is up to me. If the Wiley Group goes down, neither you not I will survive," he shouted angrily.

Listening to him, I thought he must really be losing his mind. Could such a rotten company like the Wiley Group even be saved?

I pursed my lips as I watched him laugh triumphantly, his smug face making me feel nauseated.
