Chapter 3 Dismissal

They moved toward the bathroom, where the shower ran like a burst of rain.

Her family once ran a modest supermarket.

They weren’t wealthy, but they lived a stable and comfortable life as a family of five.

Unexpectedly, her father fell into a trap that plunged them into a debt of 5 million dollars.

He was forced to sell the supermarket, their home, and any sellable items. Yet, they were still 3 million
