Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce

Chapter 1085 The Relationship Mixed with Money

Alivia used to take care of her brother, Henry, and go door-to-door to borrow money when they were in desperate times. They borrowed from neighbors and relatives, some lending more, some less. Those who lent less had the same expression on their faces when Alivia returned to repay the debt.
