Chapter 580

Anderson came over and patted her on the back. "Sit down. Don't be afraid." Once they sat down, one of these 'relatives' said while placing a photo before Mayra, "See if this is you. We could never forget about you. You came to Graycott last year and during New Year's, right? I saw you at the market with another young lad. "I'm one of the vendors there, but I couldn't bring myself to speak to you then. I followed you the second time you came and made sure it was you. Then, we decided to come to Belchester City to see you. "We don't know anyone here in Belchester City, so we called the police and showed them your photo. We didn't expect the police to call Anderson and bring us here. "With you coming to Belchester City, we've lost touch for over a decade. Now, you're all grown up. You even get to live in such a big house. This must have cost a big fortune." When they mentioned money, Mayra immediately realized their intention. In her past life, Anderson told her that all the people who knew her parents refused to take them in after her parents' accident. It was because of that that they had to leave Graycott. At the time, she felt that she only needed Anderson as her family, so she gave up entirely on contacting other relatives. "Ms. Sadler, your juice." "Thank you." Mayra looked at the group of people. "What do you want? Just spit it out." The woman stuttered, "We… Well…" One of the men frowned. "Since we're already here, we might as well just cut to the chase. To tell you the truth, we're at our wit's end. Your aunt's son got into a car accident last year and needs money. We all tried to gather as much money as we could, but it's not enough." In the end, they were here for money. "I don't have any money. I'm currently being sponsored by someone else. Even if I do, why should I give it to you? You claim to be my relatives, but none of you tried to help us when my parents passed away. "Because of that, they didn't even get a proper burial. Now that you're in trouble, you finally remember me? To me, you're just strangers. You avoided me when I needed you, and now, I no longer need you. "Besides, you only came here for money. Even if I had money to spare, I wouldn't give you a single penny." "Hey, watch your tongue. We're your elders." Another man stood angrily. "Mr. Barlow, aren't you going to intervene? If they break something, Madam Sonia will be upset," a maid said. Anderson shot the maid a glance, and she immediately quieted down. While facing the group of people before her, Mayra overheard what the maid said. Feeling resigned, she took out a card from her bag. "This is what I saved up so far. There's about 7,000 in here. It's supposed to be my living expenses for when I go to university. If you're in immediate need of money, you can have it." Mayra finally realized why Anderson told her to hide when her parents passed away. She was only five at the time, but these people would have sold her for money if they had the chance. Taking her to an orphanage was the best choice Anderson had at the time.
