Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 78 Vanity Kills

“I remember my palms sweating as the agent went through the contract with me,” Roxanne said.

She no longer had any reason to delay the inevitable when the agent was done explaining the contract.She made up an excuse about having to make a call and borrowed twenty thousand from loan sharks.

“It was an easy transaction but they didn’t hold back if you weren’t able to pay up…”

“But I couldn’t care less. I managed to get the money transferred.”

The agent smiled at her the same way the GUOLHJ store manager smiled at her friend!

The uneasiness and fear of having just borrowed from a loan shark were instantly replaced by a sense of dignity.

“It was a time you were admired if you could afford to live in a 5000 dollar apartment…”

She secretly ate instant noodles inside her upscale apartment that night.

Lilly asked curiously, “If your bestie is so rich, why didn’t you ask her to lend you money?”

Roxanne immediately shot it down. “No! The reason why she was friends with me was because she believed me to be pure and simple…”

She lied to her friend and claimed that her parents were seriously ill which was why she worked overtime. She would say things like “It doesn’t matter how hard I work as long as my parents are well”.

She couldn’t possibly go to her friend for money.

She would definitely be disappointed in her once she learned that she wanted to live in a luxury apartment. Their friendship would be over.

How else was she going to get designer clothing and bags?

Pablo thought about what Cheryl was like and finally understood why the vanity spirit insisted on clinging to the girl.

“So you’re vain and hypocritical.”

Roxanne continued, “I can’t return to working at the printing factory after getting that apartment. It isn’t in line with my status.”

It had to be a high-collar, decent job to be worthy of her and yet she had no education, skills, or experience. She couldn’t even apply for a decent white-collar job.

“There was a public institution recruiting temporary workers… They noticed how I was kind, pitiful, and sincere, so they recruited me.”

Pablo held back a laugh.

Kind, pitiful, and sincere? That’s all an act!
