Chapter 421 Welcome to your last party
"Ah, can she come? Will her health be okay?" The girl immediately asked, her voice filled with surprise.
"Of course. Eleen is fine, it's just... she still needs to recover mentally."
"Um... I understand. Bye bye..."
"Wait!" Sherwin suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? Is there any other problem?"
"I... thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"It's just... while Eleen is going through dark times, I'm glad she still has good friends like you. Thank you for still remembering her." Sherwin said the words he spoke really came from his heart.
"Hahahaha... okay, no need to thank me. This is what friends should do. Ah... I will text you the time and location of the party tomorrow. Bye bye..."
"Bye..."
The girl hung up, Sherwin looked at Eleen's phone for a long time, then looked at her room again.
'Sorry, Eleen. Sorry for making decisions without your input but I hope you can embrace this warmth.'
'Your friends are wonderful, they can definitely heal the wounds in your heart.'
'Eleen, I will do my best to help you return to a normal life. Even though we will have to return to our previous poor lives, I believe that even though we lack material things, we will be happy.'
Sherwin's mind constantly thought about the future. Suddenly, Sherwin's phone rang, notifying him that he had just received a text message.
He frowned and saw on his phone screen that there was a text message sent from his bank.
In the message, he had just received $15,000, the content was 'Salary for 5 months'.
Sherwin saw that and immediately knew who sent him this $15,000. Surely that person was Arik.
He thought for a long time, then called Arik.
"Hmm? Have you received the money yet?
As soon as the phone connected, Arik immediately asked.
Hearing that, Sherwin felt extremely angry, he shouted: "Arik, don't try to use money to silence me. I will continue to seek justice."
"Hahaha... Sherwin, do you still not understand how this world works?"
"What do you mean?"
Arik sighed: "Sherwin, no matter how hard you try, justice is not on your side. Justice is only for the rich."
"Besides... the money I sent you is the remaining salary according to the contract I signed with you."
"I fired you, that's why I have to compensate you. We just do what we need to do."
"From now on, we are strangers, we have nothing to do with each other, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Sherwin angrily shouted: "Arik!!! After what you did to my sister, do you not feel any guilt?"
Arik was silent. After a while, he sighed: "Is there anything else I can do? It's either your sister becomes Lathel's plaything, or we all die."
"What do you mean?"
"Haizzz, Sherwin, you should remember that this world is run by the laws of the strong. The strong can do anything, even decide the life and death of me, you and Eleen."
"Sherwin, we won't see each other anymore but Lathel will definitely not let Eleen go, you should limit her from going out."
"This is the last piece of advice I can give you. I also hope that the last ray of light in this world doesn't turn black."
After saying that, Arik immediately hung up, and Sherwin angrily threw the phone on the ground.
BAM!
The old phone, after hitting the ground, immediately broke into pieces.
After that, Sherwin sat on the ground, he felt so useless that he could only vent his anger on the phone that had been with him for more than four years.
He sat on the ground, hugged his knees with both hands,and cried. He didn't realize this but this wasn't the first time he had cried in the past 3 days.
He just knew... that he cried a lot. When he saw Eleen, he cried.
When he remembered the video Lathel showed him, he vomited and cried.
When he thought about what Eleen had gone through, he also cried.
He cried so much that his tears dried up.
However, he could do nothing but cry. He wanted to call the police but just like Arik said, he couldn't get justice.
Otherwise, he would be in danger, even Eleen would be in danger. Therefore, he was afraid, so he decided to keep quiet.
For the past three days, he had been investigating Lathel's identity. In fact, the identity of that young man was public and it was on social networking sites.
He was Lathel, the only son of the Mayor of this city. He and his father both had a huge fortune.
It could be said that in this city, Lathel and his father were gods. The two of them controlled the entire city.
Power and money, both of these things stand at the pinnacle of this world.
What about Sherwin? He was just a young man who had just lost his job, and it was a mystery if he could even pay the bills for this apartment.
Sherwin wants to seek justice? Hahaha... even in his dreams, it would be difficult for h to do that.
At this time, he also knew that getting justice was impossible. He just hoped that next time, he and Eleen would have a better life.
However, what Sherwin wanted right now was to heal the wound in Eleen's heart.
During the past three days, Sherwin was able to talk to Eleen, and she was also able to say a few simple sentences to him.
'Eleen, don't worry. We will get through this, a bright future awaits us.'
...
Elsewhere, in a dark but also extremely luxurious room. On the bed, a young man and a girl were lying down.
There were no clothes on their bodies, the scene was very chaotic as it seemed that they had just fought a 'war'.
The girl frowned and said: "Lathel... why do you pay attention to that girl? Is she better than me?"
Lathel lay on the bed with a scornful smile on his face: "That's right. She is more interesting than you. At least, when she went to bed, she resisted me, and you didn't."
"You..."
"Hm? What do you want to say?" Lathel looked at the? girl sharply.
That girl immediately felt scared, her body trembled violently, and she stammered: "I... I... sorry... I... I misspoke."
"Um... good! Don't make me feel uncomfortable, or else what you have now will be gone."
"I know... I know..." The girl repeatedly nodded: "I will do whatever you say."
Then, the girl bowed her head and used her mouth to 'serve' Lathel.
Lathel lay on the bed, enjoying the 'service' the girl provided, while thinking about something in his mind, which made him smirk.
...
During the next three days, Sherwin did not look for work. Anyway, he still had some savings, along with the $15,000 that Arik transferred to him.
That was enough for him to stay in his apartment for about 6 more months.
During this period, Sherwin only stayed by Eleen's side to heal the wound in her heart.
Whenever he had free time, he went to that alley to feed the stray cats.
Today, as Sherwin was feeding the cats he frowned, he felt that something was wrong.
He then checked on the kittens and the mother cat. He was immediately startled, he even felt angry.
The hind legs of both the kittens and the mother cat were tied tightly with a small piece of steel wire.
The wire was wrapped so tightly that the joints of the cats' legs were distorted, they were in severe pain, as they couldn't put down the legs that were tied with the wire.
Luckily each cat only had one leg tied with a steel wire, otherwise... He was afraid they would both feel pain and be unable to move.
In the end, they would starve or be attacked to death by other animals because they cannot protect themselves.
Sherwin gritted his teeth, he felt extremely angry, but he also didn't know who did this.
Finally, Sherwin sighed and began to help the cats by untying them.
Then he stroked the cats and said, "Mimi, don't go around, don't let the kittens go out. Humans are so cruel, they will torture you to death."
Sherwin sighed.
In fact, his apartment did not allow dogs, cats or any other animals. If he violates this, he will definitely be kicked out.
He also posted online to find out if someone was willing to take care of these cats. However, they are all feral cats, so they are considered cheap cats.
That's why no one wants to adopt them. People just want to adopt pets that are good looking, or have high value.
"Wait!" Sherwin suddenly remembered something: "I have money, I can take these cats to a better place."
He took out his phone, intending to call another animal rescue center. If the place refused to adopt these cats, he could pay them to take care of them for him.
Sherwin had just taken out his phone when someone called him. He frowned, and chose to accept the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Are you Sherwin?" A familiar voice rang out. Sherwin immediately recognized it as the voice of the girl who had called Eleen before.
"That's right. You are..."
"Ah... it's me. Three days ago I called Eleen but you were the one who picked up the phone."
"I remember."
"I found your phone number in Eleen's information. I couldn't contact her so I called you to inform you of the time and location of the party."
"Ah! I'm listening."
"The time is 8pm today, it's at the banquet hall at Lora Hotel."
"Thank you, Eleen will definitely arrive on time."
"Um..."
After speaking, the girl immediately hung up. Sherwin was happy and immediately returned home, forgetting his plan to take the cats to a safer place.
...
In another place, a pretty looking girl was sitting on a chair.
She frowned, smiling contemptuously: "Eleen, welcome to your last party."
"Hopefully... After today, you can continue staying in this city to help me feel happier."
