Chapter 4316 Nothing Can Change Anything
“Where to?” the driver in the front asked Calvert for his address.
Calvert took a while to come to his senses and then provided the address.
20 minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a run-down alley in Emerald City.
Calvert got out of the car and looked at the old houses in front of him. There were many
beggars along the way, and trash was scattered everywhere.
This place is known as the gathering place for the poor in Emerald City and is jokingly
referred to as the slums of Emerald City. And he, grew up here since he was a child.
When he was young, he didn’t think much of it, but as he grew older, he realized that
people are truly different from one another.
He used to believe that as long as he worked hard and had good grades, he could change
everything.
He studied hard and made sure his grades were always good, wanting to prove that even
if he was born poor, he could still make something of himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, when he entered university, he realized that the gap
was much bigger than he had imagined.
Because of his excellent grades, the school waived his tuition fee, allowing him to attend
this prestigious university.
But it was precisely because of this that the disparity became more apparent. He
discovered that there were many things that even good grades couldn’t change!
As he walked into his old, dilapidated house filled with a smell of decay, he saw his father
rummaging through boxes and cabinets, angrily muttering, “Why don’t we have any
money? Why can’t we find even a single penny?”
Seeing this scene, Calvert knew that his father had probably lost in gambling again. So
now he was at home searching for money, wanting to find some to continue gambling.
“Did you steal my money, you brat?” As soon as his son came back, Calvert’s father
immediately grabbed his collar and loudly questioned.
Calvert coldly replied, “Do you think you still have money for me to steal?”
After listening to Calvert’s words, Calvert’s father forcefully pushed him away and said,
“You, if it weren’t for me, how could you grow up like this? It’s all because I raised you!”
After speaking, he continued searching in the house. Suddenly, Mr. Elledge seemed to
have found something, a look of excitement flashed across his face. He grabbed that thing
in his
hand and hurriedly left!
Calvert noticed that the pendant his father had just found belonged to his mother in the
past. It was made of silver and wasn’t worth much, but for his father, even a little money
was good at a time like this. It was all he had for gambling!
Facing a father like this, it’s no wonder that his mother escaped from this household and
even left him behind!
Taking a glance around the dimly lit house, Calvert silently took out the medicine that
Harley had given him from his pocket.
Is this the compassion of the wealthy?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat princess, so high and mighty, never would have expected to have any connection
with someone like him one day.
But the intersection, that’s as far as it goes.
For him, the current life is just barely surviving, and each day on campus only makes him
realize that he can’t change anything, including his own life!
Three days later, Tina and Lornell crossed paths, and Lornell handed her a pill.
“Take it!” Lornell said.
Tina took the pill without hesitation.
This action surprised Lornell a bit. “Aren’t you going to ask what
this pill is?
“Since it’s medication given by the Quentin family, there’s no
need to ask. If anything happens to me, you’ll be implicated too,” Tina replied.
