My family was fined thirty thousand dollars for provoking trouble.
After the court ruling, we couldn't even afford rent, and the three of us had to sleep under a bridge.
Without money for medicine, my dad would die!
That day, it poured rain.
My mom and I took turns carrying my paralyzed dad, drenched in rain, kneeling at the Lewis Villa gate.
The three of us knelt, begging Chloe for mercy and a way to live!
Chloe stood at the door, looking down at us with disdain.
"Serves you right. Don't meddle next time," she said.

Bang!
The security door closed. No matter how much I pleaded, Chloe never looked at me again.
Chloe called the police, and they drove the three of us away.
After that, my mom and I sought media help and legal aid to sue Chloe for perjury.
The Lewis family was very rich and easily used money to suppress public opinion.
The media found the story uninteresting and were unwilling to help us anymore.
By this time, my dad desperately needed medicine. And we couldn't delay any longer.
Desperate, I chose to drop out of school and work.
My mom and I worked as piece-rate workers in a factory during the day and washed piles of dishes at a food stall at night.
