Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Young Love

"After I graduated high school, my family couldn’t afford to send me to college. I worked on construction sites, delivered packages, waited tables, and in the end, I couldn’t even come up with the money for my mom’s surgery. What could I do...? What do you want me to do?"

John Shaw yelled at the police, his face flushed with emotion, and he even stood up in agitation.

The police said coldly, "That’s not an excuse for committing a crime! Sit down!"

...

"I never intended to hurt anyone at the start... I just... I was just terrified of being poor. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone..."

After graduating from high school, because his family was too poor to afford his college education, John Shaw went to work at construction sites.

Later, John eventually became a small contractor, borrowed high-interest loans in order to secure a project, and ended up deeply in debt.

Paying off the debt through food delivery and courier services was unrealistic, and he couldn’t even afford his mother’s medical bills, so broke that he couldn’t pull a single penny from his pocket.

After a series of events, John met a few high school classmates who had turned into gangsters, the so-called close buddies from high school.

After some discussions, they embarked on a path of crime.

...

―――Outside the police station.

Listening to Phoebe Lyle’s calm story, Elliana Lyle understood that the love between them was beautiful and not wrong.

From their first acquaintance in high school, Phoebe never despised John for his family’s poverty, and John began to have subtle feelings for Phoebe that intensified over time.

They separated after high school graduation, and later encountered each other by chance.

The John who could now take money out of his pocket met once again the girl he adored in his youth, on the street.

The feelings from their teenage years began to sprout, and with some money in his pocket, John felt brave enough to pursue Phoebe.

Everything started anew from here, but reality is always cruel.

Elliana didn’t speak, but reached out to hold Phoebe’s hand. From Phoebe’s transition from breakdown to calm, she knew that Phoebe could no longer forgive John.
