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.

They said she didn't have to repay, but the implication was that they didn't want any further contact with her.

Taking a deep breath, Alivia couldn't help feeling a bit aggrieved, "I know eighty thousand dollars might be insignificant to you, but for me, it's my mother's lifeline.

I know my capabilities are limited, but this is all I can come up with for now. It's all I have. Are you still going to turn it down?"
