Chapter 329 Nowhere to Go
Whatever happens tomorrow can wait.
But the news about Alice leaving on a business trip spread through the office like wildfire.
“Her real parents are coming back, right? Why is she leaving instead of waiting to meet them?”
“Maybe they are her real parents, but they just don’t want anything to do with her.”
“And that adoptive father before was actually a human trafficker!”

“I used to like Ms. Spencer, but now… I don’t know. Because of her adoptive parents, I feel kind of uncomfortable about her.”
“What are you talking about? It was Ms. Spencer who called the police back then. She saved a lot of kids and sent those so–called adoptive parents to prison.”
“Ms. Spencer is a good person.”
“I don’t think so. If she’s as great as everyone says, then why don’t the Spencers want her?”
No one could argue with that.
Were all the Spencers idiots?
Every one of the Spencer brothers was talented and successful.
People like that shouldn’t be that easy to fool.
Huglan didn’t know anything about the office drama.
Since he and Karen failed their mission, they had to head back to the junkyard in the suburbs.
It was a recycling place. The owner felt sorry for them and gave them a tent.
Lately, they had been relying on that tent to survive the wind and rain.
But when they came back today, the tent was gone.
All their stuff was thrown on the ground.
It was clearly done on purpose.
The junkyard owner walked over.
“I know you guys are having a hard time, but if I keep letting you stay here, I can’t run my business. Let’s try to understand each other, okay?”
Huglan looked panicked.
“B–but we have nowhere else to go.”

Karen broke down in tears.
“Why did you take the tent, too? How are we supposed to live like this?”
The owner sighed, looking frustrated.
“I’m not the one who took it.”
He wasn’t rich, but a tent wasn’t worth much. He truly didn’t care about it.
The problem was the internet. People tracked this place down, and after finding out the tent belonged to Huglan, they destroyed it.
“You’ve offended people. There’s nothing I can do.
“Here, I still have a little money. Take it and go find another place.”
Huglan looked at the 500 dollars in his hand.
A cold look flashed in his eyes.
He took the money and acted grateful.
“Thank you. If I ever get the chance, I’ll repay you no matter what.”
The owner waved his hand. “No, no, that’s not necessary. Just hurry and leave. I can’t have you staying here. Those people will be back soon.”
Huglan immediately took Karen to gather their things.
The owner was kind enough to give them a small cart to carry their things.
Karen felt extremely upset.
“Now what? We didn’t get a cent from that brat, and now we’re going to have to sleep in the open.”
Years in prison had left them both with health problems.
Prison wasn’t so bad. They at least got medical care and three meals a day.
Out here, they barely had anything to eat, and they had to hide because everyone hated them.
It was enough to drive anyone crazy.
If Karen could handle this kind of hardship, she wouldn’t have sold children for money in the first place.
Huglan stayed silent the whole time.
Instead of leaving far away, he found a spot to rest near the junkyard.
Then he took out his old flip phone.
Actually, the phone had been given to him by a mysterious person.
He didn’t have to pay for service, but whenever that person called, he had to answer right away, no matter what time it was.

It had been a full day, and the mysterious person hadn’t called.
Their mission had failed. That person should have already heard the news.
So why was it so quiet?
Seeing him staring at the phone, Karen couldn’t help but complain.

“If I’d known, we shouldn’t have listened to that person. We shouldn’t have caused a scene at the office. We should’ve gone to Alice privately and made her pay us to go away.”
Huglan still didn’t say anything.
Karen couldn’t take it anymore and started sobbing.
“I’m so unlucky. Back then, I could’ve stayed in the city and lived a normal worker’s life. Why did I have to follow you to the town?”
“What are we going to do now?”
Huglan got impatient. “Don’t we still have Linda?”
Karen still felt protective of her biological daughter.
“Are you crazy? She’s living a good life now. Why would you go mess up her life? I don’t agree!”
The only reason she had swapped the babies back then was because she knew the Spencers were rich.
But thinking about that made her remember something.
“When we were leaving today, I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Spencer are coming back.
“That woman begged me to swap the babies back then. Now that she’s so famous, she definitely doesn’t want this to get exposed. I think we should go ask them for money!”
