Three years after taking the fall for my ex-husband and going to prison, I bumped into him downstairs at his company. He was the high-and-mighty CEO Lucas Sterling, here to celebrate the grand opening of his fiancée Selena's company. And I was nothing but a janitor here. Because I was distracted, water from my rag dripped onto a bouquet of flowers. "You smelly janitor, do you want to die? Do you know this is my gift for Miss Selena!" I was kicked into the sea of flowers by a man, face and hands covered in thorns. Lucas's childhood friend beside him looked at me with excitement, "Yo, isn't this the formerly arrogant Miss Sarah?" "What Miss Sarah, she is just a villain who stole Selena's identity. Didn't expect her to get out of prison so soon." Hearing Lucas's silence, the man who kicked me spoke immediately. "Hey, ex-con, get on your knees and kowtow three times to me, and I won't make you pay." I knelt down without hesitation. Amidst the laughter around, Lucas walked over. "Sarah, pretending to be pitiful now, do you want to ruin Selena's opening ceremony? Why didn't you stay in prison for a lifetime?" Ignoring his probing gaze, I continued to kowtow fawningly. Can't pay money. Every penny is my child's life-saving money. Chapter 1 Surroundings were dead silent, everyone looking down at my ugly state from high above. After the last kowtow, I spoke carefully. "Sir, is this okay?" The man didn't answer, turned to look at Lucas. Seeing Lucas frowning, he unhesitatingly ground his shoe sole on my hand. "They say kowtowing should make a sound, I didn't seem to hear it." Drilling pain came from my hand, those rose thorns completely pierced into the flesh because of the man's force. I endured the pain, nodding in panic. "Okay sir, I'll do it again, please forgive me." With my movement, a patch of blood appeared on the ground. But as if I couldn't feel pain, I kowtowed crazily, daring not stop at all. "Enough! Don't use your dirty blood to stain Selena's turf!" Lucas pulled me up violently, eyes terrifyingly gloomy. Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, I squatted down quickly wiping carefully with my sleeve. "Mr. Sterling, I will clean it up, don't drive me away, I beg you." Hearing the address "Mr. Sterling", Lucas obviously froze for a moment. We grew up together, what he heard most was "Lucas" or "Luke". This is the first time I called him with such a distant title. "What is everyone doing? Why haven't you come upstairs to find me yet." As soon as Selena's voice appeared, everyone looked over. Lucas's eyes became doting. I dared not look more, burying my head continuing to clean the blood stains on the ground. "Isn't this Sister? How can you let her kneel here cleaning!" Selena pulled my hand with concern, then pushed me away abruptly. "Hiss, Sister, why are your hands so rough, scratched me painful." I hid those chapped hands behind my back, squeezed out a smile. "Miss Selena is joking, I am just a janitor, how can I bear your 'Sister'." Looking up I saw Lucas checking Selena's hand repeatedly with worry, only relieved finding no problem. "Sarah, no matter what purpose you have coming here? Get out immediately!" "No, Mr. Sterling, you promised to let me go just now." After getting out of prison, decent companies didn't want me at all. I finally found this janitor job with great difficulty. Daughter was born with heart disease, cannot stop medication. Seeing Lucas ignoring me, I threw myself at the feet of the man who just made me kowtow. "Sir, help me, didn't you like watching me kowtow? I'll kowtow for you again okay?" The man kicked me away like seeing something dirty, hiding far away. I looked around helplessly, walked towards Lucas again. "Mr. Sterling, I really won't hurt Miss Selena, nor hurt anyone, please let me stay okay?" Under my begging, the head janitor squeezed out from the crowd. "Mr. Sterling, Miss Selena, this girl really has no malice, she is a single mom with a child, it's not easy." She tried hard to speak good words for me, Selena exclaimed. "Brother Lucas, didn't sister go to prison? How could a child pop up, wouldn't be..." She stopped halfway, at this time chill appeared in Lucas's eyes. Head janitor spoke tremblingly, "Sarah has a hard life, that child of hers..." "Make noise again you get out too!" Lucas looked at the head janitor coldly, she dared not speak again. He walked to me, pinched my chin hard, "Sarah, do you think pretending to be weak like this, I will still believe you?" "Three years ago, you deceived me like this! Then what did you do? Killed my mom?" Lucas's words exploded in my ear, those memories thought forgotten flooded my heart instantly. Three years ago, I thought an accident required blood transfusion, discovered I wasn't the Sterling family's child. Selena was found back, family changed overnight. No matter how Selena slandered and hurt me, they stood unconditionally by Selena's side. Only Lucas believed me, "The one I want to marry is Sarah, not some Sterling family heiress." He disobeyed the family, eloped with me. We squeezed in a small rental apartment like this. Although life was bitter, heart was sweet. One day Lucas's mother found me with Selena, they humiliated me unceremoniously and hit me. Lucas, who just returned from a drinking party, only saw the red marks on my face, didn't notice who was in front. His strength was too great, plus the rental apartment was in disrepair. Lucas's mother fell on a broken wire, died before reaching the hospital. Luckily Lucas was drunk, didn't remember details. He is most filial, definitely can't accept this fact. So when the Sterling family sued me, Selena and I tacitly said it was my manslaughter. I will never forget in court, Lucas looking at me with that disappointed look. But I had no choice, he rebelled against the Sterling family for me. And accidentally harmed his mother for me, how could I bear to let him bear the crime of matricide. I suppressed the bitterness in my heart, voice trembling. "Mr. Sterling, back then was my fault, I admit it, the law has punished me." "Please give me this job opportunity okay?" Tears dripped on the back of Lucas's hand, he let go of me, wiped his hand with paper several times. Selena supported me smilingly, "Sister you don't need to worry too much, Brother Lucas just thinks janitor doesn't suit you, how could we ignore you." She said words of concern, but her hand supporting me pinched my flesh hard. Feeling discomfort, I just struggled slightly. Selena fell back exaggeratedly. Lucas caught Selena steadily, and kicked me conveniently. "Uncle and Auntie were right, you are a lowly person in your bones, only knowing how to frame Selena." His words were like a knife slicing my heart. Even he won't believe me anymore. Meeting Lucas's indifferent eyes, I knew no amount of begging was useless. "Sorry." I walked out, thinking about how to find the next job. Selena called me again, "Sister, what you are wearing seems to be our company's uniform." Voice just fell, many people came up to strip my clothes. Under the clothes except for underwear, I wore nothing. "Miss Selena, I'll wash it clean at home and return it to you okay?" Selena acted as if she didn't hear me, turning her head away. My strength alone was too small, stripped clean in a while. Those people saw my exposed skin, retreated in disgust. I hugged myself awkwardly and helplessly, Lucas looked at me in shock, "Sarah, what's with these scars on your body?" What's with these scars, shouldn't he know best? Those people in prison said they received Young Master Sterling's order to take good care of me. It was also because of inhumane abuse during pregnancy that my daughter was born sick. I harmed my daughter. "Sister, that person just said you have a child, you wouldn't be playing with others... Do you know you are losing our family's face like this!" Selena's accusation made the trace of guilt in Lucas's eyes disappear without a trace. He looked at me with disgust like people around, and covered Selena's eyes. "Sarah, didn't expect you to demean yourself so much, who is that wild man? Doesn't he care about you?" When released from prison, I didn't know the height of sky and earth and called Lucas once. That number was disconnected long ago. Looking up at the screen were various sweet wealth videos of Lucas and Selena. Three years in prison, Lucas has changed from an heir to a power holder. And the person beside him became Selena, no longer me. I found a trash bag nearby and put it on myself, tone cold. "The wild man died, are you satisfied?" "I am not the Sterling family heiress, just an orphan, an ex-con, what's wrong with me wanting to live?" Lucas was obviously angered by my words. But due to face, he said nothing after all. I walked away wearing the trash bag, walking calmly. As soon as I walked to a deserted place, I couldn't help crying bitterly. The old me didn't love crying, felt there were no troublesome things in the world. Since Selena the real heiress came back, I seem to become more and more fond of crying. Phone ringtone interrupted my emotions, "Sarah, your daughter's medical account already owes a lot of money, when will you make it up." I begged hoarsely, "Can you extend a few more days, my salary is coming soon..." "Hospital can wait, can your daughter wait?" The other party interrupted me fiercely, "Which one coming to hospital doesn't have difficulties, everyone wants us to understand, then can the hospital still open?" "We have made exceptions for you many times, can't say making exceptions forever!" Before I could speak, the phone was hung up. At this time a coin was thrown in front of me, "Auntie, are you hungry, take it to buy something to eat." I took the coin wanting to return it, the little girl's mother already pulled her far away. "Go quickly, wearing nondescript in broad daylight, maybe a lunatic." Her voice wasn't loud, but still entered my ears. I gripped that coin in hand, whispered thank you. Called the head janitor wanting to advance salary, he was full of difficulty. "Sarah ah, your salary was taken to pay for those flowers." My brain went blank, "What, didn't they say as long as I kowtow I don't need to pay? I'm going to find them!" "No, Sarah, don't you know what kind of people they are? Don't look for me in the future either, I also have a family old and young." Phone was ruthlessly hung up again. Dialing back, the other party already blocked me. I leaned against the wall getting up crookedly, went home changed clothes and found the Scalper familiarly. Because sold plasma too many times before, this time he only accepted once. Looking at that thousand dollars in hand, I grabbed his hem. "Big brother, I beg you, draw another bag, just five hundred, five hundred is enough." No matter how I begged him, he dared not draw anymore. He shook his head, took a doll from a pile of gifts and gave it to me. I hugged the doll and pushed open the door of my daughter's ward. "Mommy, you came!" Daughter Lily reached out to me sparklingly, I hugged her tightly in my arms. "Mommy, why is your hand injured?" Lily held my hand, blowing on it for me. That depression in my heart vanished instantly, soft as a mess. No matter what, I must protect my daughter well. "Mommy doesn't hurt, did Baby take medicine well, listen to nurse?" Daughter nodded heavily, "Yes Mommy, I am very obedient, Mommy don't be too tired too, I'm okay." Looking at daughter's sensible look, I tried hard to control my tears. Put the doll in hand beside her, "Then Baby sleep by yourself tonight okay, Mommy's new job is at night, let it accompany Baby instead of Mommy." Daughter grabbed my hem reluctantly, finally looked up and planted a kiss on my face. "Then Mommy take care of yourself." Watching daughter fall asleep, I walked out and dialed the phone. "Hello, I am willing to take the job you mentioned." Night club is the most profitable place, also the most dangerous place. Before to accompany daughter at night, I didn't go. Manager shook his head looking at my wounds, "Looking at your photo thought you were a top quality, how come like this, never mind, at least face is viewable." He let me wear a mask responsible for selling alcohol in private rooms. No base salary, all commission. Just didn't expect to meet Lucas's group in the first private room. Private room stuffed with balloons, birthday song playing on loop. Selena clustered in center, like a princess in fairy tale. In Lucas's gaze, he gave a jade bracelet carved crookedly to Selena. I've seen the look of that jade bracelet. Three years ago, Lucas once showed me the design draft.
