Chapter 7

　　That on the night when she got the first place in the competition and was overwhelmed with joy, she suddenly received the news that her father, Jun Ruan, owed some loan sharks one million yuan? 　　She still hasn't even gotten over that event until now. 　　Sara sighed and leaned on the sofa. "I feel sad whenever I think about you and Henry. At that time, you were a pair of talented couple in school. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that you liked each other. I thought you would be together when you go to Paris, but I didn't know that something would happen later... Fate really is something, huh?" 　　Meghan was silent for a long time before saying, "It's all in the past." 　　"All right, I'll stop with this sob story now. By the way, I suddenly remembered a gossip about Maggie. Let me tell you about it. When she was only starting in the industry, she went to shoot magazines, and she didn't even know what the fill light was. Unexpectedly..." 　　Sara told several jokes to Meghan, and after making her laugh, she kept insulting the cheater couple passionately all night. 　　But when Meghan was lying on the bed late, the words Maggie said to her in the bathroom still echoed in her mind. 　　Although those vulgar words would never come out of Samuel's mouth, the meaning it conveyed was not far from the truth at all. 　　Meghan knew that she was the cause of Samuel's troubles, so during the three years of their marriage, she tried her best to play the role of a good wife. Whether it was facing his slander or the cynicism of Zhou's family, she never once complained. 　　She also knew how much he hated her. 　　But when the reality poked at her mercilessly like a poisoned knife, she still felt pain. Whenever she breathes, she could feel the pain in her heart. 　　Meghan buried her head in the quilt, half-awake and half-asleep, she kept thinking of something. 　　Three years ago, after learning that she owed a million to the loan sharks, she went around looking for money, even lowered her dignity to ask the person in charge of the contest if she could not go to Paris and give her cash instead. 　　She still remembered what the person in charge said at that time. 　　"Ms. Ruan, I'm sorry. Our boss said that this opportunity is reserved for people with real dreams in design, not for those who take advantage of it and treating it as a business opportunity and making money from it." 　　After hearing these words, Meghan was startled for a long time. She went back, cried and cussed at the so-called boss all night. 　　Who were they looking down on? Who didn't have a pure and unpretentious dream? 　　A few days later, Jun ran away, and the creditor came to her and asked her to make a choice. 　　Either she chopped off one of her brother's arms or she would take the initiative to come with them. 　　Meghan had no choice but to ignore Carlo's hoarse shouts and followed the loan sharks out of the house without saying a word. 　　Those people sold her to the Twilight Club, a place dedicated to the amusement and fun of the wealthy, drunk, and materialistic. 　　They drugged her wine. 　　Although she was ready to die that time, when the fat man in his late forties came in, she suddenly thought of Henry Ji and the opportunity to study in Paris which she had not taken. 　　She didn't know where the strength came from, but she was able to push the middle-aged man away and stumbled out. 　　Then someone chased her from behind. 　　She didn't know how long she ran, and finally, she saw a tall and vague figure in front of her. She fell to the ground and pulled the sleeves of his textured suit. 　　"Please, help me..." 　　After saying this, she lost her consciousness. 　　When she woke up again, she was in a strange room with a strange man lying beside her. 　　The clothes scattered by the bed were enough to tell what happened last night. 　　She felt a bit dry in her throat. When she drained all her tears, she started to comfort herself by thinking that at least the man beside her looked like a human being and was a thousand times better than the pig last night. 　　Thinking of what happened last night, Meghan was worried about Carlo, and hurried to get dressed and go back. She seemed to have awakened the man on the bed as she was preparing to leave. He frowned slightly but she quickly put the quilt on his head and patted him as she whispered, "It's all right, go back to sleep." 　　It's was like she was coaxing a child. 　　Meghan ran away quickly when there was no more movement from the man. 　　The creditor has found her again. Fortunately, Carlo was not at home because he went out to find her. 　　Meghan called Carlo to tell him that she was safe, and told him not to go home and to stay with his classmates for a while. 　　And then, she went to Sara. 　　After hiding for two months, Meghan found out one day that she was pregnant. 　　... 　　When Meghan woke up at four o'clock in the morning, she got up and drank a glass of water. She sat in the living room and started watching movies and TV shows with the first love theme, trying to regain the sweet feeling of being innocent and in love again.
