"How dare you! How dare you make light of my debt," I shouted. I suddenly found myself on my feet, balancing on the bed. I glared at Levi.
He jumped up too. "What are you so mad about? All I'm saying is that—"
"Do you know how many years of my life have already been wasted due to debt? It may be nothing to you but debt has been everything to me! When I wake up before the crack of dawn, when I wash the floors, when I sleep in a tiny room, when I'm flogged for the smallest mistake, I remember that debt because it has been my entire life."
Lucas and Liam turned their faces away from me, looking embarrassed.
"Not all of us are as privileged as you in life. You've never had to worry about money all your life! You can never understand my struggles!" I snapped.
Levi opened his mouth to answer me again but Lucas cut him off quickly. "Levi…" he said in a low, warning tone. "I think you need to stop talking now."
