Chapter 573 For People Like Us, Love Is a Luxury

“Of course. If someone’s going to take responsibility, it’s gotta be Jonathan. No way I’m letting him off easy.”

This woman really was clear–headed.

She had never actually liked Jonathan–what she liked was his money. And she wasn’t shy about admitting it. Most people wouldn’t dare say something like that.

Stella didn’t respond right away.

Rebecca gave a dry laugh. “What? Think I’m pathetic? I get it. People like me are just ants crawling on the ground. Girls like you, born in the clouds, would never understand.”

“I don’t look down on you,” Stella said calmly.

Not everyone was dealt the same hand in life.

If she hadn’t met the Dawson family, if she’d been born into a different home, who’s to say she would’ve been this lucky?

Rebecca smiled bitterly. “It’s fine if you do. I started working when I was fourteen. I’ve done everything- waiting tables, handing out flyers, working retail. You name it, I’ve done it.”

“Later, I found out bartending paid more, so I went for it. Morality doesn’t mean much when you’re broke.”

For some reason, she just kept talking to Stella.

Stella listened silently without interrupting.

Until Rebecca started talking about her relationship with Jonathan.

Stella cut her off. “That’s enough. I already know–Jonathan’s a piece of trash.”

Rebecca paused… then chuckled.

“You’re right. He really is.”

Her voice was emotionless now when she mentioned him.

Maybe she’d meant it all along–she was never after Jonathan himself. Just his money.

Wonder how Jonathan would feel if he ever found out. Probably pathetic.

Stella asked, “You and Danny…?”

“I’m getting married.”

That answered her question.

“What?” Stella blinked. “Married?!”
