They could only buy new clothes once a year, and it cost dozens of dollars from a stall.
Those were unforgettable days for Xavia.
And looking at this moment, a single glass of wine at this banquet could cost up to hundreds of thousands of dollars and the dessert table that no one was interested in could actually make up for a whole year of her living expenses at that time.
It was extremely extravagant and luxurious.
Most importantly, the host of this banquet were her biological parents.
Back then, they only gave a small sum of money to her foster family and after that, they only transferred very little money to her foster family every month.
If it weren’t because of Cara’s calculation to save up money, they would never have been able to afford to move and live in the city for the rest of their lives.
She had such stingy parents who were living such a privileged and luxurious life.
This world was so cruel.
The human heart was so forlorn.
“Zivon, Jenna, you’re here.” On the contrary, people didn’t have any compassion at all. Her parents walked over to greet them with smiles on their faces.
Their kind and gentle appearances made it seem as if they were the best parents in the world.
No. They were the best parents to Jenna.
They were only stingy and forgetful toward her.
Xavia felt that it was ridiculous and pitiful. She had a very complicated look in her eyes.
Mrs. Lockhart raised her arm and nudged Xavia as she whispered, “You’re going to look at us with that expression on your face when there are so many people watching us?”
“Sorry, but I would not even be standing here if it weren’t because there were so many people watching us,” Xavia blurted out those cold and indifferent words.
Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart were startled. The corners of their mouths twitched slightly. They obviously didn’t expect Xavia to say such things.
They stared at Xavia with a serious and embarrassed look in their eyes.
If it weren’t because they were taking the presence of so many people here into account, they might have just given her a slap directly.
Xavia felt a lot more comfortable when she saw that they couldn’t hit her even if they felt like it.
She decided not to overdo it and she smiled as she said, “I was just kidding. Dad, I would like to wish you a happy birthday and that you will enjoy longevity and immortality.”
