章 714: Chapter 714: Lies

Grace Ziegler was filled with a sense of failure and unworthiness.

Her mother scrimped and saved to put her through university, and now, she felt guilty spending her mother's money.

Even though she was not her biological daughter, her mother had raised her for many years. She felt the need to show gratitude and not worry her mother.

"Mom, keep your money. I have a job now. I really do have money," Grace Ziegler said, avoiding her mother's gaze.

Somehow, Grace felt ill at ease.

Chief Daniel Marshall had lent her fifty thousand yuan, and she had no idea when she would be able to repay it.

If she had to continue saving and scrimping, her life would be...the thought alone made Grace intensely upset, and she couldn't help but resent her difficult background.

Ella Charles, with her sharp eyes, stared at the daughter she had raised without even blinking. Somehow, she sensed something was off.
