Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 779

She had seen a slice of human nature through her tenants, and was no stranger to the conflicts and tangled relationships between people.

Staying unaffected by the outside world? Easier said than done.

Scales mused, "Over time, I've realized that nothing is absolutely pure, and it's impossible to remain completely unaffected by other factors. It's like that philosophical idea-everything is interconnected, and individuals influence and interact with each other..."

Mamie felt her head spinning. "I think you should've majored in philosophy instead of biology."

Scales shot back, "Just eat your chicken drumstick!"

"Fine, I will! You were the one who said I could have it!"

Mamie, who had once gifted a car worth under a hundred grand without a second thought, now seemed adamant about saving a mere ten dollars on a cab.

"So what if I'm a landlady? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know! My dad taught me to be thrifty, make money, but also care for it. Save it when you can, spend it wisely, but never waste it!"
