NovelOnlineLiz burst into laughter, turning around to stuff a debit card and the deed to the house into Yolanda's arms. "Come
on, take it! Who in their right mind would refuse money that's literally being handed to them?" "Can | really keep
it? But didn't you, like, wear yourself out paying off that $300,000 debt to Remington?" Yolanda clutched the
debit card, somewhat surprised by Liz's change of heart.
Liz cut her off, "I was a fool back then, but things are different now. You've saved a life and got yourself hurt in
the process. This is what you deserve. Why on earth would you say no? If it makes you feel better there's
something | need to ask of you."
Liz had made up her mind to leave, and she was sure she couldn't take Thaddeus with her this time.
Yolanda accepted the money, and Liz hoped that if Remington, in a fit of rage, decided to ignore Thaddeus,
Yolanda could look after her big brother for her.
She shared her wishes with Yolanda, leaving her utterly shocked.
"Look after Thaddeus? Of course, | can. But where are you planning to go? You're pregnant with Joy, heading off
to sunknown place is going to be tough." Liz just offered Yolanda a faint smile.
"I'm not afraid of hardship, just heartache."

Yolanda was worried, but seeing Liz's weary but gentle smile, she had her eyes welled up with tears, and she
embraced Liz tightly.
"Alright, if you want to leave, then leave. | believe in you. But do you really think Stella will help you?"
"She will." Liz said with conviction.
And Liz's judgment was proven right a week later.
She returned to the dance troupe, just finished with rehearsal, when her phone buzzed with a text from an
unknown number.
[Need half a month to arrange]
No introduction or conclusion, but Liz knew who it was and what it meant.
She quickly replied and deleted the message.
Putting her phone away, Liz headed for Jerome's office.

Jerhad given her the chance to join the troupe, and she had promised to stick with dancing until the baby
was born next year before leaving.
But now.
Liz felt terribly sorry. Standing at the office door, she raised her hand but hesitated to knock.
But she had to face what she had decided.
With a grimace and eyes shut tight, she knocked hard.
Unexpectedly, the door opened from the inside, and Liz's hand, still in motion, landed forcefully on

Liz suddenly looked up, her finger still pressed against Jerome's chest.
Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she instinctively rubbed the spot where she had knocked.
Jergrabbed Liz's wrist, stopping her fumbling hand.
Liz shifted awkwardly, feeling Jerome's gaze on her as if she were skind of hooligan.

"It wasn't on purpose!"
"You planned on making it on purpose?" Jerraised an eyebrow.
Liz's face flushed even more.
Jerlet go of her hand, and Liz quickly hid the offending hand behind her back.
The other hand pinched her palm hard.
That's for acting crazy!

Perhaps seeing Liz's near-tears of embarrassment, Jerasked.
