Chapter 28 Running Into Caleb

Cherry cried on the phone for half an hour. Erin had no choice but to promise her that she would find a solution.

Holding her phone lightly, she got out of the taxi. She felt as if she’d been drained of all her blood.

Grayson, who had hit someone and caused the victim’s death, was actually Erin’s stepfather, Grayson Lawrence. Cherry remarried Grayson when Erin was eight years old.

Grayson was a decent man and had always treated Erin and her mother well. He paid for Erin’s tuition since she was young. Two years ago. Cherry took 100 thousand dollars from Erin and opened a small supermarket in her hometown to pay for her son, Gavin Lawrence’s.

tuition. She said she didn’t want to burden Cherry and that they should be responsible for their son’s future tuition.

Apart from that 100 thousand dollars, Cherry rarely asked Erin for money. She always told Erin to only worry about herself.

Now that they needed help. Erin would definitely help Grayson since he was in trouble.

It was midnight when Holly came back home with her keys in hand.

She was startled to see Erin sitting alone in the living room in the dark. She turned on the lights immediately. “Erin, why are you still awake in the middle of the night?”

Without hesitation, Holly took off her high heels. She then walked over to the couch and sat down next to Erin, full of concern. “Erin, what’s wrong? I’m not tired, so feel free to talk to me.”

thought for a moment, “Okay, how about this? You solve your family issues first and then find time to talk to lan as soon as possible. It’s best if you can have an amicable divorce!
