Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“So you came here to work, right?”
Upon hearing this, Connor finally understood the situation.
“Yes…”
June nodded andntinued, “I was really desperate at that time, so I had no choice but tome here for an interview. But when I arrived, I realized that the job was like this…”
“But I really needed the money. If it weren’t for this job, my mother might have died already. So in the end, I decided to attend the interview and was very lucky to get this job!”
“After passing the interview, the staff at Hustlers Club gave me antract and a check. The amount on the check was exactly 500,000 dollars. But thendition was that I had to work here for five years. After five years, I would be too old for them, and they wouldn’t need me anymore. I struggled for a long time, but in the end, I chose to accept thentract because it meant that my motheruld live…”
As June reached this point, she was already in tears.
“No one forced me to do anything. It is all voluntary,” June said earnestly to Connor.
“I remember I gave you a Mercedes-Benz before. Why didn’t you choose to sell the car?” he asked her with somenfusion.
“That car isn’t mine. If I sell it, what should I do if you suddenlyme back looking for me?” June replied directly. “Ofurse, I didnsidered selling the car, but I wanted to wait until I was truly desperate before doing so. Otherwise, I wouldn’t sell the car.”
“Oh, I see.” He nodded gently.
At this point, he finally understood why she ended up here.
He felt that this girl was actually quite pitiful. She just wanted to save her mother’s life, so she chose this kind of job.
“Do you still want to work here?” He hesitated for a moment and asked her softly.
“What’s the use of wanting or not? I’ve already signed a five-yearntract here. If I breach thentract, I’ll have to pay a large sum of money, which I can’t afford. So there’s no way I can leave this place!” she replied, looking at himseriously.
“I am the owner here. If you want to leave, you can do so anytime, and I can terminate thentract for you without anympensation,” Queta said directly to June, without any unnecessary words.
“Really?” June’s eyes showed a hint of nervousness upon hearing Queta’s words, and she quickly shouted, “Miss Queta, I’m really grateful for this…”
“June, no need to be so polite. Since you’re a friend of Mr. Connor, you’re also my friend,” Queta said calmly.
“Mr. Connor?” June flashed a hint ofnfusion in her eyes upon hearing Queta’s words, but she didn’t say much.
Connor, on the other hand, lowered his head and started eating. After all themmotion, he was already feeling hungry.
After finishing the meal, he briefly discussed the situation with Queta regarding Percy’s situation. Afternfirming that Percy might return to the casino in a while, Connor decided to personally go and talk to him when the time came.
After chatting with Queta, Connor took June and left the Hustlers Club. They hailed a taxi and headed straight to the hospital where June’s mother was.
Once they were inside the taxi, June turned her head and looked at him. Her expression was filled with gratitude as she said, “Connor, I really appreciate what you did today. If it wasn’t for running into you, I might never have been able to leave that place…”
“No need to thank me. It was just a small matter. You don’t have to worry about it too much,” he replied casually to her.
Perhaps in her eyes, this incident was a life-changing event. But to him, it was nothing more than an insignificant triviality.
Fifty thousand dollars was a negligible amount for Connor. Heuld easily spend that much on a single meal. However, for June, it was a astronomical figure thatuld crush a family.
Money may not be that important in the eyes of many people. But for the majority, money still holds significant importance.
