Chapter 228: Chapter 228

"Isn’t this a hair salon? Why are you doing this, wuwu..."

Although he messed around with relationships, he only did so with cute girls.

Someone so old and ugly, he couldn’t even bear to touch them!

Burt Chambers felt that what happened today would probably leave a lifelong psychological shadow on him, and he might never have fun with cute girls again.

The woman saw how naive Burt Chambers looked and pinched his chin, laughing more lewdly.

"Haircut? Haha, are you really that clueless or just teasing me romantically??"

"Let go of me, if you don’t let go, I’m going to call the police!"

The woman wasn’t afraid at all, "You’re just a hustler, dare to act high and mighty with me? Call the police, go ahead, MYPC will get you arrested too."

Then with a sleazy smile, she leaned in to kiss him again.

Burt Chambers was shocked by that word.

The reason he ran away from home was because Paige Sterling framed him for MYPC.

He’d finally gotten to a place where no one knew his dark past, and now he might get caught for MYPC again?

How could he be so unlucky?

Burt Chambers struggled, but his strength kept dwindling.

He found himself unable to even fend off a woman, a terrifying fact that made him deeply realize how dangerous it was for a good-looking guy like him to roam the world.

Burt Chambers finally charged out relying on a "better dead than dishonored" spirit and ran away.

But once again, he was left wandering the streets.

As if things weren’t bad enough, it started to rain, and it was a full-on storm.

All he could do was pitifully huddle under the bus stop sign to take shelter from the rain, getting completely soaked.

After being drenched the whole night, Burt Chambers came down with a high fever and fell unconscious at the bus stop in the morning.

Looking miserable, pedestrians mistook him for a homeless person and thought he was just asleep, so they didn’t pay him any attention.

Eventually, he woke up feeling terrible and tried to drag himself to the hospital, only to realize he didn’t even have money for medical treatment.

Burt Chambers, "...", life is really hard.

Paige Sterling had installed remote monitoring on Burt Chambers, so she was fully aware of what was happening with him.

Being aware was one thing, but she even pulled Sonny Chambers to watch the live feed with her, munching on sunflower seeds as they watched Burt Chambers’ misfortune unfold.

Sonny Chambers’ heart ached, feeling that Burt Chambers was pitiful.

This made him secretly thankful that he, too, once planned to run away from home but never actually did, or he might have ended up as miserable as Burt Chambers.

"Hey, Paige, when are we going to bring Burt back?"

Sonny Chambers thought Paige Sterling probably just wanted to teach Burt Chambers a lesson, and that once Burt had suffered enough, she would bring him back.

But Paige Sterling was enjoying Burt Chambers’ misery, "He’s so interestingly miserable; why should I bring him back?"

Sonny Chambers, "..."

Paige Sterling, "I just love watching this kind of human tragedy."

Sonny Chambers, "But that’s your cousin, you know. What if this game goes too far..."

"I still have another cousin, right? If I accidentally lose both of you, the Chambers Family won’t exactly die out, and Uncle wouldn’t blame me."

He’d been so well-behaved; why did Paige Sterling have to go and be so cruel?

As prideful as Burt Chambers was, even though he deeply regretted his impulsive decision to run away, he refused to go back home now that he’d come this far.

He braced himself and finally got through the cold, but he still had a bit of a cough.

He changed into a clean set of clothes, tidied himself up, and started looking for a job again.

After searching around, the jobs he liked didn’t want him, and the ones that wanted him didn’t appeal to him — like working at a construction site hauling bricks.

But as he watched himself get closer to having to live under a bridge and go hungry again without a job, Burt Chambers had no choice; he eventually ended up working at a construction site.

The foreman had high standards, and Burt Chambers didn’t have much experience; he looked too refined. Were it not for Burt talking himself into being so pitiful, the foreman wouldn’t have wanted him at all.

It turned out Burt Chambers lacked both experience and stamina and would slack off whenever he could.

The foreman couldn’t stand it and kept reprimanding Burt Chambers.

"Hurry up, don’t laze around!"

After two straight days of being scolded, Burt Chambers felt like a little slave under a feudal system.

And that foreman, who knows if he held a grudge against him or what, just kept staring him down.

Even though he tried hard to speed up, he still couldn’t meet the other’s standards, and Burt suspected the foreman was just jealous of his looks and was deliberately making things difficult.

Finally, after being reprimanded by the foreman once more, he couldn’t take it anymore and said, "What’s the big deal? I quit!"

The consequence of leaving with a proud attitude was that, after working for several days, he didn’t get a penny and had to keep starving.

Living such a miserable life, Burt Chambers regretted it, really regretted it.

Even though back at home, Paige Sterling wouldn’t let him go out and party, monitoring his studies and exercise every day, at least he ate well, dressed well, and didn’t have to worry about making a living. Occasionally, he could even brag about some past achievements.

Now he had freedom, but his life and health were no longer guaranteed.

Why did he have to be so brainless and choose to run away from home to confront Paige Sterling in the first place?

Just when Burt Chambers was thinking of giving up and going back, he met someone — a woman.

Paige Sterling, observing from the monitor, knew this woman was quite attractive, a few years older than Burt Chambers, but in Burt’s most desperate moment, the woman extended a helping hand. Initially, Burt didn’t trust her, figuring she had a hidden agenda in approaching him.

However, after a few days, Burt was completely won over by the woman’s goodwill. He was deeply moved, and his delusional habit reared its head again, making him narcissistically think the woman was interested in him.

Sonny Chambers, watching through the monitor as his brother saw himself as the protagonist in a rags-to-riches story, fantasized about this woman being one of his wives, sighing that his brother’s ailment was quite serious.

Burt Chambers realized he couldn’t just enjoy the kindness without repaying it, especially from a woman interested in him.

He aimed to show his worth in front of the woman, so she would know that his destitution was only temporary, and that one day, he would soar to great heights.

So Burt Chambers took the initiative to offer the woman help.

The woman took him to see a girl and told him, "That’s my sister who’s currently in a rebellious phase. She ran away from home after a dispute with my parents. If you really want to help me, approach her and earn her trust, and bring her home, but absolutely don’t tell her it’s on my instructions."

Seeing the girl, she looked seventeen or eighteen, cute and adorable, and Burt Chambers thought this lovely girl could probably end up being one of his wives too, so of course, he had to make a good impression. Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Eventually, getting both sisters in his bed would be an epic story to tell.

Thus, Burt Chambers confidently went to find the girl, only to get arrested by the police before he could say much.

Because the woman Burt thought so kind was actually a human trafficker.

And the "sister" she mentioned was an undercover officer setting up a sting operation to catch her.

Now it was a mess; the whole group, including the woman, was arrested, and Burt Chambers was also taken in as a human trafficker. The entire group insisted that Burt Chambers was with them, leaving Burt unable to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
