Chapter 440: Selling A Girl for Glory 5 Chapter 440: Selling A Girl for Glory 5 Seeing Clara Brown getting emotional, Mia Garcia gently patted her back, comforting her, “Mom, don’t cry. Just talk it out. We can solve any problem together. There’s always a way.”

“According to Uncle Lee, things between him and me are pretty much over,” Clara said.

Hearing this, Mia widened her eyes in disbelief, “How could that be? It’s only been half a month. How could he want to end the relationship so soon?”

“Mia, you don’t understand. When women get older, their bodies aren’t as tight as young girls’, so men don’t enjoy it as much. He just wanted something fresh with an older woman like me,” said Clara, watching Mia’s expression.

“If that’s true, what should we do?” Mia had tried to return to the Entertainment Circle in the past half a month, but those opportunistic people either pretended not to have signal when she called, or threw veiled insults at her. Some even taunted her for falling so low or said there was a role with no dialogue and just a daily wage of 500 yuan.

Those roles were just unimportant extras, with perhaps no screen time at all. Earning 500 yuan would require enduring harsh conditions without complaints.

At this rate, it would take until the Horse month of the Monkey year to pay off their debts and support herself. She might even grow old before that happened.

If that was her future, Mia would refuse to walk down that path—she wanted the shortcut to stardom.

But now, her long-sought-after shortcut seemed to be closing off. She couldn’t accept it.

“Mom, we can’t let things continue like this. If we lose Uncle Lee’s support, we won’t be able to pay off our debts, and I’ll have no chance returning to the Entertainment Circle. We need to find a way to keep him interested.”

“How do we do that? You’re young, sure, but you aren’t willing to accompany him. What else can we do?” Clara retorted with emotion.

“Mom, how could you think like that? I can’t give him company, that’s a whole other level,” Mia pleaded.

“He’s tired of me and my old skin, you won’t accompany him, how can we hold onto him?” Clara countered.

Mia thought deeply and suggested, “If Uncle Lee wants a younger woman, then we’ll find him one to send over.”

“It’s easy to find a young girl, but not one who would take on our task as her own. If she agrees, she could just go straight for Ethan Lee, bypassing us. In less than three days, she could leave us behind, and we’d have gained nothing apart from playing matchmaker,” Clara reasoned.

“If only we could find a girl we can control,” Mia mumbled to herself.

Clara replied sarcastically, “What do you think this is, Ancient Times? With debt slavery and control over people’s families?”

“Mom, can’t we be a little more optimistic? We need to find a way to solve this. Or what are we supposed to do? Find another rich guy to latch on to?” asked Mia.

Seeing her anxious daughter, Clara knew Mia was desperate. As long as she was desperate, there would always be time to persuade her. If it didn’t work today, there’d be another chance tomorrow or the day after…

Eventually, she’d convince her.
