“You might want to look in the mirror and see if you can find your dignity, Mike. After all that you’ve done to me and my sister, you have the gall to ask me for money?! That’s right. I do have a million dollars, but I won’t lend it to you. I’d rather give the money to anyone else than you!”
“Oh, come on, Liberty. We’re family after all. Look, you girls were stubborn then. You didn’t get your husband to pay us for family support. He married you without forking out a dime to us. Look where it landed you. You should ask your future husband to pay for our grandparents‘ care, so he would feel responsible to the family and would not ditch you unnecessarily.
“Your future husband will only treasure you if he commits a sum of money to marry you. You don’t have use for the money you have now anyway. Why don’t you lend me the million dollars? I’ll pay you back when my business recovers. Besides, you and your sister are the reason my business is failing.
“My business wouldn’t have suffered if you didn’t ruin me with your post on Twitter. I’m taking in a loss every day.”
“I’m not going to lend you the money! Not even a dime!”
“Liberty…”
Liberty hung up on the call.
With the phone slammed in his face, Mike cussed his heart out.
“What did she say?”
His father inquired concernedly, “Is Liberty going to lend you the money?”
“Dad, you know she won’t do that. We’re not even on the best of terms. Even a good friend won’t lend me a million bucks.

The Hunts, apart from Old Mr. Hunt who had been caring for his wife in the hospital, were now living in their hometown and taking turns going into the city to take care of Old Mrs. Hunt.
Oh, right. John was still in the city, looking for a job.
However, many companies were on early Christmas and New Year leave, so it had not been smooth sailing for John.
Stone Group came down heavily on John. Any companies interested in hiring John for his capability would receive a call from Stone Group thereafter. As the companies did not want to step on Stone Group’s toes, they would change their mind about hiring John.
John even attended interviews with companies that were at odds with Stone Group, but the outcome was the same.
He spent some money to ask the manager of the human resources department at these companies why they would not take him in. The companies replied, saying that John had crossed someone, and any companies that hired him would be made the enemy.
John asked the human resource managers if the person was from Stone Group.
The response he got was, “Did you p*ss Stone Group off too? Don’t you come from a farming town? Does your family own a farm? I’d advise you to go pursue a career in that. At least, you can earn a livelihood. It’s unlikely you will find a job here.“
