---- Chapter 8 In the end, I asked gently, "Do your parents know you came here?" Hedgar ducked her head and said nothing. "You're not going to tell me you came specifically to visit my restaurant, are you?" Hedgar remained glum and silent. I sighed and was about to ask her to leave when she finally said, "Henry, my family is broke." Even if I already had a hunch, I was stunned by the news. "But... how?" The Stanes owned a few shops in the most developed place in the city center. The income from those shops alone was enough for Hedgar to live a life without worry. My question made Hedgar break down in tears. ---- At that moment, I was reminded of my past self weeping. But Hedgar was not as gentle as I was. Whenever I cried, all I ever got was her leaving with a slam of the door. "Henry, I'm really sorry. Please come back to me." I laughed at that. She said that being with me was a mistake in my previous life. But she was asking for us to be together this time? One could not have the best of both worlds. "We have never been together, so how could I ' come back' to you? "Just tell me how your family went bankrupt." After some silence, Hedgar told me everything that happened while stumbling over her words. ---- Hedgar had wanted to get back together with Leon after she earned enough money. After losing 3 million dollars, the Stanes only had a bit of money left. While thinking of ways to earn money, Hedgar heard about a project that would guarantee anyone's investment. It would definitely double or triple whatever was invested. Hedgar was really cautious in the beginning. She started off with only one hundred thousand. Then, a few days later, the project manager sent her multiple luxury items. They consisted of all sorts of branded handbags and jewelry. Greed robbed Hedgar of her rationality, and not only did she invest all of her savings, but she even borrowed a huge amount of money.
