“Depend on you? Ha! You really overestimate yourself.

It was by selling that poor girl we managed to scr@pe by, and it had nothing to do with you.

“Don’t forget she was so frail then.

Without my efforts, do you think we could have gotten such a price for her? What would you have lived on this past year?”

“You’re the worst kind of scum, selling your own daughter Like that.

“Nonsense! It was your idea to sell her in the first place.

If I end up in jail, you’re coming with me!”

The loud argument between the couple was audible not only to Luisa who was standing at the door but also to Sonny, who could hear it all the way from the stairwell.

Luisa’s expression remained blank and her heart turned colder with each word she overheard.

Knock, knock.

She tapped on the door, but her knocks were quickly smothered by the ongoing shouting inside, and no one responded.

Feeling her anger surge, Luisa’s expression grew sterner as she kicked the door forcefully twice.

The old metal door, already frail, rattled loudly under the impact, teetering as if it might give way at any moment.

Luisa half-expected the door to swing open with a burst of curses from the quarreling couple.

Instead, the noise inside ceased abruptly, and still, no one came to open the door.

The forceful kicking had led the couple to mistake her for a debt collector, silencing them as they pretended no one was home.

Undeterred, Luisa knocked again and said with a firm voice, “Coen, Demi, open the door, I’m not here to collect debts.

Her voice, though tinged with coldness, remained inherently melodious.

Inside, Coen Ramos and Demi Ramos exchanged wary glances.

The voice at the door sounded vaguely familiar, but they couldn’t place it.

After a brief pause, Demi, driven by curiosity, cautiously approached to unlock the door.

The door swung open.

A young woman, barely in her twenties, stood there.

Her features were delicate.

She wore a shimmering tassel dress which enhanced her graceful aura.

Demi gaped at her, completely baffled, unable to place her.

However, her gaze quickly fell on the striking blue crystal earrings and the matching platinum necklace she wore.

Dressed in such finery, she radiated the allure of a beautifully crafted doll.

At a glance, she seemed Like she could be from the upper echelons of society.

Demi racked her brain but was sure she had never crossed paths with such a distinguished lady.

Realizing the importance of maintaining good relations with such a figure, Demi quickly flashed a welcoming smile.

“Excuse me, miss, have we met before?”

Coen, who was cooling himself off in the room, caught wind of the disruption and stepped out to investigate.
