Chapter 18 - 5: Madam, you wouldn’t want me to reveal your affairs, would you?_4
Although it’s labeled as a doctor’s role, sometimes the work is no different than that of a scavenger.
Working for a company like that, she also has to bear the cost of her son attending Huang Ban Academy, one of Night City’s elite schools, with an annual fee of at least 200,000. It’s quite obvious where Gloria’s money comes from.
Most fools assume it’s from being a sex doll or earning through shady dealings, but Lin Miao knows that if being a sex doll could send a son to Huang Ban, then the street’s flesh trade would be priced beyond imagination, with gold coins encrusted with diamonds and still not fetching such a price.
Gloria’s hand clenched tightly on her leg, biting her lip as a flicker of panic crossed her gaze. While some things are unwritten rules, those mercenary thugs who subscribe to REO membership aren’t necessarily unaware, they just have no choice but to take a gamble, yet illegal is illegal, unspeakable things might weigh nothing off the scales, but get heavy when weighed a thousand pounds.
They can’t trouble the company, but can they trouble Gloria?
But after a brief panic, this resilient woman collected herself. As an REO employee, Gloria had reasons for being able to send her son to Huang Ban Academy. She glanced at Lin Miao.
"Mr. Lin...what do you mean..."
A smart woman, Lin Miao actually understands her well. As an outsider, Lin Miao doesn’t harbor much resentment towards the company yet and grasps Gloria’s thoughts. Who wouldn’t want their children to excel in the future? If it were him, he might choose the same path.
