I thought that he had been good to me and Cora, and he did not seem to mind that I was a single mother…"Clara then paused for a moment before continuing. "So, I told him about the money I had. He seemed to change immediately after that and kept coaxing me to give it to him so he could start a business in the city. He appeared determined, so I didn't stop him, but it turns out that he wasn't built for it. Soon, all our money was gone, our house taken as collateral, and to top it off,

Nonetheless, Zoe pulled herself together.She thought about many people who could help her, but as she scrolled through her contacts, she suddenly found herself unable to call them.There was John, Cordy, Quinn… even Bob and the rest of his gang.Forty grand was pocket change to them.But she refused to call them—to let them know her tragic, impoverished state—and certainly did not want to add to their troubles.Her fingers hovered over her manager's number for a moment, but she eventually called her manager, throwing aside all her dignity to ask for forty grand.Linda, however, refused—it was not as if she was reluctant to help, but she had been threatened and forbidden from aiding Zoe. To make things worse, Linda told Zoe that all her endorsement deals and advertisements she was scheduled to shoot had all been called off. Even the TV series and movies that were already filmed and were in post-production would now be altered, either with a new actress taking her place or havin

Why was Zoe suddenly thinking about Clara? The way she aged unnaturally quickly under stress, her hands that were filled with calluses, and how she always cooked her good food when she was already penniless…Her tears began to trickle out the corner of her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.She thought she would never forgive Clara for the rest of her life or be soft on her, let alone acknowledge her.But in just two weeks, she was already worried about Clara.She had no idea how long she had been crying, but her tears could not stop flowing.-Zoe received a text from Linda in the afternoon.Before she received it, she actually did not know if she would force herself and ask others for help, or really wait to die.Nonetheless, the text arrived, and Zoe stayed silent for a long while after that.[Your showbiz career is being smothered in every aspect, save for one option.

Zoe said over the phone, "I want to try making it on my own, Quinn."Quinn swallowed the words she was about to say, tears welling up in her eyes.Meanwhile, Zoe continued, "I know you two care about me, but no one can get me out of this situation except myself. We've been friends for years and you know how much I loved the Levines and how happy I was to be born into their family, but that's all in pieces now… And I don't mean the money, it's my heart. Even if you choose to help me and shelter me, things will stay the same if I can't do this myself.""No, it's different," Quinn argued. "I'd at least feel safer seeing you, and I understand your need to grow up as a person, but you can't do the same alongside us, and it would be the same. We won't ask questions if you're worried we dote on you too much—you can do what you want!""I have my pride. I can't accept your alms without qualms—""You think our bond is alms?!" Quinn was actually angry and accusing. "It's exactly because I

It was as if he was worried that the towel would fall off in front of everyone!"W-Who the hell are you?!"
