The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 274

Chapter274

My body ached, the pain intensifying.

I arrived at my parents' house to find Laura, my father and Remy counting money.

I walked past them to the attic.

It contained only a small bed, and even that was now piled high with sneakers. My belongings were gone.

A wave of suffocating grief washed over me.

My former education had ended at high school. Lorlyn University had accepted me, but Laura tore up the letter, declaring we couldn't afford it.

I had to work to support Remy.

So I did, giving her my entire salary. Later, when I fell ill and needed money for medical tests, she pretended not to know.

She used my money to buy electronics and designer sneakers for Remy.

As they counted the money, Laura and Remy complained it wasn't enough.

The sight chilled me to the bone.

I curled up on the couch.

"Mom, let's make a bet. Grace says she's seriously ill. I bet she's lying to avoid giving you money," Remy began.

"No bet necessary. I knew she was faking the moment she said it. She's just greedy," Laura scoffed "What are we going to do? I need to find a job, or I'll have no one to support me." Remy asked anxiously.

Laura patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. We have money. Focus on your gaming. You can be a professional electronic sports player!"
