Chapter 0024

Meanwhile, in a particular living room at Belmont Hills…

Patrick, sporting reading glasses, held an Ol’ Mare Evening News, marking job postings with a pencil. His face was etched with deep wrinkles, and he had several new gray hairs in just three days. Although he was in his early fifties, he looked instead to be in his sixties.

Patrick frowned and occasionally shook his head with a deep sigh.

Finding work was not easy, especially at his age. Most opportunities were limited to jobs like being a security guard in older neighborhoods, offering meager pay, usually around 150 dollars at best. Factory work was too demanding for him, and he could not handle construction labor.

As for Susanne, she was physically weaker than Patrick.

Their situation was bleak, and they faced the harsh reality of their circumstances.

“Dad, Mom…” Amber, holding a smartphone, was also searching for suitable job openings. She occasionally glanced at Alexander, who was playing with Olivia, and then quietly looked away.

Amber could not help but sigh. She could not possibly return to the bathhouse. After Alexander fractured Elliot’s numerous bones, there was a looming threat of retaliation from the Dorvall family.

It was like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

Meanwhile, Alexander did not seem to have any plans to find work.

“Alex…” She bit her lip, preparing to say something.

Suddenly, a loud banging echoed through the living room as the security door was pounded from outside. A cold, piercing female voice soon followed.

“Open the door!”

Patrick, Susanne, and Amber immediately focused on the security door, recognizing the voice even without seeing the person.

It was Zoe.
