Chapter 763 Seeking High School Friend's Help 'How does one reach out to her when no number is displayed on the
flier but only a symbol?'
Brendan looked up and landed his gaze on the tightly-shut door of the supermarket.
The proprietress drowsily opened the supermarket door and muttered, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Why
are you knocking on the door so early in the morning? If it’s nothing important, I swear I’m going to f*ck*ng-"
In the next moment, her voice halted to a stop.
The proprietress looked at the man standing at the door with a cold, tired face and a cigarette between his fingers.
She was so startled that she did not feel drowsy anymore.
It was mainly due to her lack of interaction with such a handsome, imposing man. She instantly assumed that the
man was some celebrity and hastily tidied up her hair before she said with a flattering smile, "Hey, handsome. You

Brendan raised his hand and showed the employment flier that he had pulled off earlier. His dark eyes were
glistening with indistinct emotions. " Where is she?"
Due to the urgency, Tobey and Deirdre could only check into a motel.
It was fortunate that there were plenty of motels there, and no identification card was needed to get a room. As
long as a customer paid, the room key would be tossed on the counter for the customer.
Tobey removed his jacket from the room and placed it on the blanket. "It’s filthy here. You can sleep on my jacket
first. Please put up with this. We're only going to be here for a night." "How about you then?"
Deirdre was confused because there was only one bed.
"I'll sleep on the couch. Don't worry. I brought a jacket with me so I won’t catch a cold." Tobey shut the window and
moved to the sofa. "Sorry for troubling you today. We'll head to the west zone first thing in the morning." "West
zone?"
Deirdre was stunned. If she remembered correctly, the west zone was the area for the wealthy. It was the best
location in Surstate, and the prices of items and houses were 10 to 20 times higher than in the east zone.
Tobey could tell what Deirdre's concern was, so he chuckled. "I've already accumulated some money during this
period. Moreover, I have a friend from high school living there. I’ve already reached out to him, and he has agreed
to employ me without offering a work contract. If everything goes smoothly, I'll be able to make 900 dollars per
month without much of an issue." "900 dollars per month?" Deirdre's voice was shaky. It was a good number for an
ordinary person indeed, but it was simply degrading for Tobey in view of his capability.
Tobey had to yield to others in a field that he was most familiar with and a profession that he was most proud of. He
had to make the lowest wage despite his effort, and Deirdre felt hopeless about that.
She loathed Brendan even more, and she even hated the baby in her womb a little.

Perhaps, this was what Brendan wanted too.
He wanted to get rid of the child so that he could prevent his bloodline from escaping his control.
Deirdre curled up her body and made up her mind to get an abortion when the dust settled.
She would do anything she could just to get Brendan to set her free.
The next morning, Tobey took her to a company in the west zone. Tobey’s high school friend, who did not perform
as well as Tobey in the past, walked out and passed a cigarette to Tobey.
Tobey did not smoke, but he accepted it. Then, he lit the friend's cigarette with a lighter.
The high school friend said with a spurious smile, "You were the most outstanding student of our year. The teachers
would praise you every day and claim that you're the best student in our elite school. I didn't expect that you'd be
reduced to your current state today. It's truly a pity."
He claimed that it was a pity, yet he sounded like he was taunting Tobey.
Tobey feigned his cluelessness and said humbly, "I was only a nerd, and our school was not considered an elite
school. I'm only trying to make some money and keep my family afloat. I'm here seeking your help, aren’t I?'
