"Zara, thank you for your concern, but you don't have to worry about it." Janet Brown said coldly.

But Zara didn't stop, instead she continued.

"Janet, aren't you short of money? I just want to ask you so that you won't regard me as a good for nothing friend. Well, I'm now a manager at Sicily Bar. If you like, come and be a lady in our bar. With my help, it's not a problem for you to earn 50,000 or 60,000 a month."

Janet Brown has now opened the door.

"No, thank you."

"Martin, let's go inside."

After Janet Brown finished talking, she went directly into the house with Martin James.

After they have entered the house.

"Janet, I know that they are your neighbors and I'm sorry to say this but their faces are so abominable."

When Martin James thought of what the mother and daughter had said to Janet Brown just now, he was full of anger.

If Janet Brown hadn't pulled Martin James, he would definitely wants to give them some lesson.

"As a matter of fact, Zara grew up together with me when we were kids. We were good friends and classmates before." Janet Brown said.

"Oh? Then what happened?" Martin James was curious. It looked like Zara's hatred was aimed at Janet Brown. They didn't look like they were good friend before.

Janet Brown bowed her head as she recalled the past.

"During high school, Zara talked about having a boyfriend. Until one day her boyfriend secretly confessed his love to me. After I refused, he told Zara that I seduced him, and Zara came to call me a bitch and a slut. She wouldn't listen to any of my explanation. From that day on, she cut me off."

It was only after Martin James heard this that he realized.

Janet Brown continued "Since she broke off with me, she and her mother have often deliberately or unintentionally humiliated me and said bad things about me, especially since Zara became a bar manager. Her mother has been more sarcastic to me, saying that I am not as good as her daughter."

As Janet Brown said this, she couldn't anymore hold back her tears. She then cried.

"Damn it!" Martin James narrowed his eyes, which were already burning with anger.

Janet Brown was just a weak woman. But she had to bear these unwarranted humiliations. Martin James was angry for Janet Brown.

Martin James made up his mind that he needed to help Janet Brown.

"Well, don't say that. I invited you to dinner today. Let us not talk about these unhappy people. You'd better sit down quickly."

Janet Brown wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled.

Martin James sat on an old sofa after the invitation of Janet Brown.

Martin James roamed his eyes around. Although Janet Brown's house was small and old, but it was neatly cleaned up.

"By the way, Janet, where are your parents?" Martin James asked curiously.

Martin James didn't see Janet Brown's parents at all.

"My father died early, and my mother, she's sick and is bedridden now." Janet Brown said with her head down.

Martin James was surprised that, Janet Brown was also part of a single-parent family. Martin James' father died early, too, so it's the same with him.

"Martin, I'll take you to meet my mother."

Janet Brown took Martin James to a bedroom.

On the bed lay a thin, sallow-faced middle-aged woman who looked very sick.

Needless to say, this sick middle-aged woman must be Janet Brown's mother.

To tell you the truth, Martin James had a heart-wrenching feeling when he saw her.

"Mom, this is my classmate Martin James." Janet Brown squeezed out a smile. She probably didn't want to bring a bad mood to her mother.

"Hello, Martin James, I am sorry I'm not in good health, so I can't get up and welcome you." Janet Brown's mother has a weak voice.

"Auntie you are very polite." Martin James also squeezed out a smile.

"Did Janet, have a good time at school today?" Janet Brown's mother asked.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine." Janet Brown said with a smile that she dared not tell her mother any grievances she had suffered because she would only worry her mother in vain.

"Good, Janet. Hurry up and cook for our guest." Janet Brown's mother smiled.

After they came out of the bedroom.

"Janet, Auntie, is she seriously ill? Why don't you bring her to the doctor?" Martin James asked.

Janet Brown bowed her head and said in a low tone.

"I couldn't, the hospitalization and medical expenses are too expensive. I can't afford it. Even if I live at home, I can't afford to buy medicine every month."

When Martin James heard what Janet Brown said. He felt pity in his heart.

Janet Brown has no father, her mother was ill and in bed, the burden of life was all on her weak shoulders. She has to bear too many things at a young age.

"When you went to the bar Sing to make money, you wanted to earn medical expenses, didn't you? That's why you care so much about scholarships isn't it?" Martin James said.

Martin James could finally understand Janet Brown's behavior.

"Hmm-hmm." Janet Brown nodded gently.

"Janet, you must have suffered a lot these years." Martin James couldn't help saying.

Martin James fully understood Janet Brown, even felt empathy. Because Martin James not only had a single-parent family, but also his father died early just liked her, they have a similar experience.

The difference was that he was luckier than Janet Brown, because his mother was not ill. So his mother could still work, the burden did not completely fall on Martin James.

The luckiest thing was he turned out to be the grandson of Morgan Gracie.

"Whether it's bitter or not, it just came over like this." Janet Brown smiled a bitter one.

After a moment of silence, Janet Brown continued, "If it hadn't been for my mother's request that I finish college, I would have dropped out of school and gone to work."

When Martin James thought of Janet Brown's experiences and her misfortunes, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He couldn't imagine a girl going through this, Martin James thought. How did she survive all these years.

Martin James could not imagine how strong Janet Brown would have been to be able to withstand the cut.

It was because Janet Brown had experienced the heavy pressure of life that she became sensible and mature compared to other girls.

"Janet, trust me, everything will be all right soon." Martin James looked serious.

Although Janet Brown was unfortunate, she met Martin James, which would be lucky for her not to believe it!

"Getting better? I hope so." Janet Brown looked up at the ceiling.

Janet Brown knew that it's hard to make it all better.

Because it needed too much money to cure her mother, unless she wouldn't go to the right way. Otherwise, she won't be able to earn so much money after graduation.

Janet Brown did not dare to expect too much.

"All right, let's not talk about it. I'll cook now." Janet Brown smiled to avoid the atmosphere be spoiled.

And then, Janet Brown was busy cooking.

Martin James sat in the small living room.

Martin James could directly reveal his identity, and then give Janet Brown a large sum of money to help her solve her financial problems.

But the last time Martin James sent money to Janet Brown. She just returned all the money to him. So Martin James was worried that if he gave her the money, she would refuse.

"There must be another way."

Martin James murmured, and at the same time he had an idea in mind.

It wasn't long after Janet Brown finished cooking the meal.

There were three dishes and one soup, all were ordinary home-cooked dishes, but it was good enough for Janet Brown. If it were not for Martin James, she would not usually cook so many dishes, as it would be too wasteful.

After cooking, Janet Brown picked up the soup and sent it to her mother's room.

On the table.

"Martin James, try it." Janet Brown smiled playfully.

"All right!"

He couldn't wait to pick up the spoon.

"It is delicious!"

Martin James had an exaggerated expression on his face after he took a bite.

Seeing that Martin James' expression was so exaggerated, Janet Brown couldn't help but cover her mouth as she sneered and said.

"Martin, why are you exaggerating? My food is not so delicious."

"It's really delicious. I swear from the bottom of my heart that your cooking is really good!" Martin James laughed.

Martin James was really telling the truth. Although they were the simplest home-cooked dishes, Martin James found that Janet Brown's cooking was very delicious.

"I will be lucky for anyone to marry you in the future." Martin James said with a smile.

"Don't make fun of me. Under such conditions in my family, no one is a fool to marry me." Janet Brown murmured.

"Not necessarily, but in case there is a fool." Martin James smiled.

"Well, if you really think my cooking is delicious, you can come and eat here often if you like." Janet Brown offered.

"Janet, we are classmates, isn't it bad for me often come here for dinner? Also if I come to your house often, won't you be afraid that people will think we are lovers?" Martin James smiled.

When Janet Brown heard Martin James said this, her pretty face flushed.
