Falling in Love With a Debt-Ridden Boyfriend
Chapter 2
In my previous life, Daisy Scott was fired by the company and had nowhere to go, so I took her in.
I let her live in my house without asking for a penny to help her relieve the pressure, but she got together with Zack while I was working hard outside.
When caught in bed, Daisy got down on her knees in self-blame and said to me pitifully, "Catherine, I'm sorry. I know this is wrong, but I can't control my feelings for Zack. I'm a bad woman. If you can't accept it, I can die."
Zack, a selfish fool, being moved by her affectionate and righteous appearance, protected Daisy behind him.
"Daisy and I truly love each other. She is pure and kind, giving me all her pure love. She's completely different from gold diggers like you who are aggressive and hypocritical!"
I was so angry that I almost suffocated.
Why did I stoop so low to become a bar girl?! Wasn't it because Zack said he had failed in his business and owed a lot of debts, almost being forced to commit suicide and needing a large amount of money?!
Daisy saw my bloodshot eyes, and without distinguishing right from wrong, she spoke up for Zack, "Catherine, why are you arguing with Zack again? Zack is under a lot of pressure right now. If he did something wrong, you should just humor him.
"Men all like gentle and considerate women. Catherine, you should learn to humor Zack slowly. Otherwise, Zack will be so pitiful."
In my previous life, although I was angry when I heard that rubbish, I never said anything because of our many years of friendship.
But when I heard those things again, I felt disgusted and hated myself for being blind in my past life and not realizing that she was a bitch.
I nodded and pretended to be obedient.
"Daisy, you're right. I will quit my job and humor Zack at home."
"Quit, quit your job?" Daisy seemed to not believe what she heard and then remembered something.
"It's okay to quit the job in the bar. That place is no good anyway. You still have nine jobs left."
I sneered.
"No, I want to quit all of them and focus on taking care of Zack at home."
"What?!" Daisy shouted in disbelief, "What do you do for a living after you quit all of them?!"
Zack came to his senses. After all, I alone covered the expenses of the whole family.
"I didn't mean that. Just like Daisy said, you can quit the job in the bar, but you can still have the other jobs."
He was still thinking about making me his slave laborer.
I looked at the two people who had already conspired against me at this time and pointed to Daisy.
"Daisy, you are my best friend, right? You don't want to see me break up with Zack, do you?"
Daisy, who claimed to be the gentlest and kindest woman in the world, glanced at Zack with a shy look.
"Of course, no matter what you become, we will always be best friends."
I ignored the derogatory remarks in her words.
"Daisy, you are so kind. I quit all my jobs and lost my income. Don't you still have savings? And you said you felt sorry for living in my apartment for free. Well, I won't take advantage of you. The ten-month rent and one-third of the utilities total 15,000 dollars."
Before Daisy could react, I had already shown her the payment code on my phone.
Daisy looked at me and Zack, looking helpless and pitiful. Zack was immediately attracted and protected her behind him.
"Catherine, don't be so aggressive!"
I just looked at Daisy.
"Daisy, you wouldn't refuse, would you? Aren't we best friends?"
Zack also looked at Daisy. After all, in his eyes, Daisy was a kind and innocent girl. Zack also wanted to see how important he was in Daisy's heart.
Daisy was in a dilemma but made the transfer with a heavy heart, looking like she was about to cry.
With a deeply moved expression, Zack glared at me.
"Are you satisfied now?"
I shook my head.
"I forgot this month's rent. I calculated it wrong earlier."
"You!" Daisy was so angry that she almost cried.
Zack pulled Daisy behind him.
"Don't trouble her. I'll pay for her!"
I asked, "Didn't you still owe more than 1 million dollars in high-interest loans? How come you have money to pay her rent?"
Zack froze, and I sneered in my heart.
He was capable of doing that, as he was a rich kid.
He pretended to be poor because of a bet with his friends. He said I was better at seducing men than all the mistresses he had kept, and he was determined to expose my true nature of being a gold digger under the guise of being affectionate.
What was ridiculous was that I used to love this man deeply and fantasize about paying off his gambling debts and having a better future with him.
Now I wished I could slap Zack hard.
My words left Zack speechless, and his face turned red.
Daisy suffered a huge loss, and her face became even gloomier. She tried to leave but I stopped her.
"What else do you want?"
Daisy almost couldn't pretend anymore.
"Your outfit and bag seem to be mine, right?"
Daisy's family was not well-off, and she had a younger brother still in school. She didn't have money to buy luxury goods, so she often wore my clothes without permission. I remembered mentioning it a few times, and she cried and accused me of discriminating and bullying her in front of Zack.
I didn't want to get angry over such trivial matters, so I always turned a blind eye and found excuses to give her the clothes she had worn.
But now I changed my mind. Even if I burned them all, I didn't want her to wear them.
Daisy's ears turned red with shame, and she sobbed, saying, "I didn't do it on purpose. I can wash it for you. Do you also want to discriminate against me because I'm poor?"
Zack wanted to speak, but I stopped him with a glare.
"But that was bought for me by Zack. I have to wear it tomorrow to meet his friends. If you ruin it, what am I going to wear to save his face tomorrow?"
I sold all my luxury goods in the cabinet at a low price for Zack. That outfit was the only one he gave me after we got together, and I couldn't bear to sell it, so I kept it.
"Forget it, I won't go tomorrow."
I sighed and walked towards the bathroom.
Zack eagerly grabbed my hand and looked at Daisy.
"Didn't you just buy a Gucci outfit and handbag? Take them out and give them to Catherine."
Daisy looked at Zack incredulously, but Zack didn't have any eye contact with her.
Daisy couldn't afford luxury goods. The Gucci outfit was given to her by Zack, and it was bought with my hard-earned money!
I didn't feel happy holding the handbag. Instead, I wanted to smash it on Zack's head and beat him up.
Zack looked at me disdainfully.
"All right, don't embarrass me tomorrow."
Zack was so obedient to me, not because he felt indebted to me, but because tomorrow's gathering was a trap set up for me.
But he wouldn't succeed.
Early the next morning, Daisy used the excuse of broadening her horizons to propose that she would go with me to prepare for the gathering.
