Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed



Millie was literally kicked out.

"Couldn't take a hint to leave, had to be thrown out to feel good, huh? Get lost already!"

In the pouring rain, they didn't want to step out and get soaked-all because of this crazy woman.

...

Once the rain stopped, Millie wandered the streets, lost and dispirited.

Somehow, she found herself in front of Grandstone Institute's gates.

Watching the students go in and out, laughing and full of life, she remembered she used to be one of them.

Suddenly, she spotted a familiar face in the crowd!

"Yvette "

She rushed over, grabbing her like she was the last lifeline.

Yvette was startled.

The two girls with her gave Millie a curious look but, out of politeness, didn't pry. "Yvette, we'll wait for you in the café." "Sure," Yvette said with a smile, then turned to Millie with a complex look on her face. "What... happened to you?"

A month ago, when she visited Millie in the hospital, although a bit pale, Millie was living in comfort.

But now... her dress was soaked, her hair was a mess-she looked more like a ghost than a woman.

"Yvette..." As soon as Millie spoke, tears started falling. "I lost the baby, and he doesn't want me anymore."

Yvette's face didn't show much surprise, as if she had anticipated this outcome.

But she hadn't expected it so soon.

Millie clutched her hand tightly. "I have nowhere to go, can I... can I stay in your dorm?"

Yvette was shocked. "You've already withdrawn from school, it's against the rules. And even if I wanted to help, I can't. Your old bed is being used by another student, so..."

Millie's lips trembled, her eyes pleading. "Yvette, please help me. I really have nowhere else to go."

Yvette looked troubled.

"Maybe... could you lend me some money? I'll pay you back as soon as I can!"

Yvette hesitated for a moment but then took out her phone. "Okay. I have six hundred in my account, I'll send it all to you..."Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Six hundred?" Millie was stunned.

"Yeah, it should be enough for some food and a place to stay. That's all I can do..."

"What can six hundred do? A single outfit costs more than that. Don't you have anything else? Can't you ask your parents?" Yvette's actions froze, her gaze turned icy.

།

The sympathy and concern in her eyes vanished. "Millie, you still don't get it. I'm sorry, but I'm not even giving you the six hundred because-You deserve this.

"You're digging your own grave. Even now, you're refusing to face reality." Yvette thought,

Yvette added, "I have to go."

"Yvette-Yvette-how could you do

e

this?!" Millie cried out. "Just give me

the money! You're just jealous of me! Happy to see me down, ren't you?!"

им

As the night grew darker, Millie roamed the streets, exhausted and hungry.

She passed by a nightclub, its main entrance dazzling, with a small side door by the street corner that saw a constant stream of men and women.

The men were pot-bellied and bulky, the women scantily clad and flirtatious.

But a closer look revealed-

These women were carrying designer bags, LV, GUCCI...

Their clothes ranged from thousands to tens of thousands, all branded.

Millie's eyes reddened with envy. She too once lived in luxury, adorned in gold and silver...

"Hey, we're hiring, you've been staring for a while, interested in applying?"
