    The Cinderella with no Crystal Stilettos

    *Update every other day* In her past life, her beauty was destroyed and her skin got burnt in the fire when she saved a man. Her boyfriend, with whom she grew up, broke up with her! She thought she could still live and move on without love. At least she still had her beloved parents. However, her world grew darker when her ex-boyfriend showed up with his new girlfriend. He told her parents that she was not their biological daughter and that his new girlfriend was their true daughter. Why? She didn't understand. Later, she was kicked out of her family by her parents. Legs broken, she came across the man whom she had saved from the fire. His skin was also burnt. He was kicked out of his family, too. But fortunately, his legs remained intact. For the next ten years, they lived together in a shabby small room and supported each other. They did not have any recourse of income, so they spent most of their time collecting the garbage and selling them to earn some money. Before long, she died. But strangely, she felt that she was still breathing. She struggled to open her eyes, only to see a pink room appearing in front of her eyes…

    Chapter 16 The Gamble Cost A Lot (I)

    Heavy metal rock, dark lights, crowds, men and women in skimpy clothes, people clinging to each other, swinging their heads, shaking their bodies. Everyone was drowned in excitement and happiness.

    Jason Lee, Harrison's cousin, was dancing with a hot woman. His face was red. Obviously, he must have been drinking a lot. They danced intimately with their bodies putting tightly against each other.

    The woman had red lipstick. Her face was pale and her brows were black because of the makeup. She whispered in Jason Lee's ears, "Jason, my boss asked you when you would pay the one hundred million back to him? He said that if you did not do it in three days, there would be consequences waiting for you."

    The smile on Jason's face froze at once. His face paled the moment he heard what the woman said. Upset, he pulled the woman away from him before he forced out a smile and said, "No problem! My family runs a real estate company! One hundred million is just a piece of cake. Tell your boss to wait for me patiently. I will pay him a visit with the money three days later by myself."

    "Oh? Really? That's great," the woman replied while continuing to dance with him. Then she left a kiss on Jason's face and laughed, "I'll see you three days later."

    Jason remained awkward as he tried hard to maintain his fake smile. After the woman left, he staggered out of the club and drove back to the Hong house like crazy.

    When he arrived at home, Mary, his mother, was appreciating her beautiful shining nails. Although she had invested all her money into the development of the land in the west, she could not help curling her lips upwards whenever she thought of the high return in the near future.

    "Mother, please, help me!" The moment Jason walked inside the house and saw his mother, he rushed towards her and screamed. He grasped her hand so forcefully that Mary's fair hand turned red in an instant.

    She tried hard and pulled her hand away from him. Then she knocked slightly on his head and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a rush?"

    Jason Lee had his mother's figure. He was slim and had a handsome face. But now he looked rather terrible because fear was written all over his face. He was so serious, which rarely happened in the past. "The one hundred million you promised me last time…"

    Mary patted her son on the shoulder again. She smiled happily, "Don't you think about it anymore. If you asked me in the past, probably I could give you several million. But now I can't. I don't have much money on me for the time being."

    Sweat broke out on his forehead. Jason Lee's legs trembled. He asked, "Where did the money go?"

    Mary replied with a smile, "I bought a piece of land. And I can get a 300 percent return on this property development in the second half year. Don't you think I am a business genius?"

    "Bang!" Jason Lee knelt down on the ground uncontrollably.

    It was not until this time did Mary find something wrong with her son.

    "Why do need one hundred million? Tell me the truth!" she asked sternly.

    Cold. Jason felt his body chilling. He leaned against Mary and murmured, "I gambled with the boss of that club and lost one hundred million..."

    Mary's face paled at once.

    The boss of that club was powerful in both politics and business. There was no way Jason would survive if he did not pay the one hundred million back to the boss.

    There were footsteps outside the house. Someone was walking slowly. But soon, he arrived at the door. The door was pulled open. A man walked inside only to see Mary and Jason sitting on the ground.

    It was no other than Harrison. He was wearing a black suit. His shoulders were broad and his legs were long. Carrying a file pocket in his hand, he asked in surprise, "Why are you kneeling on the ground?"

    Jason's eyes lit up immediately at the sight of Harrison. He rolled to Harrison's feet and circled his arms around Harrison's legs. "Harrison, my good cousin. Save me, please!" he cried.

    Mary's eyes also lit up. She was more graceful than her son. She stood up and walked closer to Harrison and begged, "Harrison, Jason is trapped in trouble. A real big trouble! Please help him."

    "Hmm?" Harrison was quite tall and had chiseled facial features. He lowered his head and looked at the woman who used to be his most intimate family. A smile crept on his lips. He asked in a soft tone, "What happened?"

    Jason wiped off his tears and cried, " I gambled with the boss of that club and lost one hundred million. Mother doesn't have any money with her right now. Help me, please, Harrison. We are cousins. I promise this will never happen again!"

    After he finished speaking, he cried every louder. If it were not for him to be provoked by others, he would have been so stupid and aggressive to gamble with that man! He had thought one hundred million was not a big deal and that he could earn a good reputation there. Even if he lost, he could just turn to his mother. He knew his mother was that rich.
