Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

The black child looked about the same age as Dennis, but his clothes, belongings, and even complexion were all much better than Dennis's.

Putting everything else aside, the cell phone in his hand alone is something Dennis couldn't have imagined.

This black boy is actually Dennis's cousin, Tommy's cousin, who is also Aunt Becky's son.

A biracial child, the third member of the family.

This family, including him, only has three members; there is no fourth.

If you ask where Tommy's father is, that is, Dennis's uncle.

Unfortunately, not only Denise, but even Aunt Becky herself probably couldn't answer this question.

Because she didn't know who the child's father was.

When she was young, she was quite rebellious, and since her figure hadn't started to change yet, she often stayed out all night and hung out with gang members.

Most of these gang members were from Black neighborhoods, and over time, coupled with their exposure to addictive substances, things naturally started to happen.

As far as Dennis knew, Aunt Becky had 12 suspects regarding Tommy's cousin's father.

He even took those 12 black men all the way to America to participate in a show called "The Green Hat Show".

In the end, Tommy's cousin's father was still not found, and the host pointed at all 12 black men and said, "You're not the father!"

The men wept with joy, while Aunt Becky, who wanted child support, was left in despair.

Although Dennis is not very old, he is actually much more mature than his peers because he has experienced a lot since childhood and has suffered a lot of ridicule and discrimination.

He pretends not to understand many things, acting as if he knows nothing, but that doesn't mean he really knows nothing or understands nothing.

He silently buried these things in his heart and secretly resolved that he could leave when he grew up, and he was counting down the days until that day.

He was unaware of the 5000 million trust fund, nor did he know that his parents had left him a large sum of money. If he inherited such a sum, he would immediately become a small-time millionaire.

However, no matter how unclear he was, he still wouldn't sign any of the contracts that Aunt Becky kept trying to persuade him to sign.

Yes, although he didn't know why Aunt Becky kept trying to get him to sign a contract in various ways and under different pretexts, he still kept a watchful eye on things and wouldn't sign them.

He didn't think his aunt would be so kind as to bring him any good.

If she truly cared for him and genuinely treated him like her nephew, she wouldn't have acted this way all these years.

She would never treat him like that.

They don't even ask for reasons or right and wrong in everything.

In her opinion, he was always the one in the wrong, and if she dared to say a word against him, she would be slapped.

He did try to contact the police, since domestic violence is illegal in England.

However, the arrival of the police only resulted in my aunt being detained for a week. They did not really punish her because she had a criminal record. She had been arrested and imprisoned for a year after committing crimes with those men, and she was frequently arrested and detained for petty theft.

So a week of detention actually had no impact on her; in fact, it was negligible.

He suffered terribly; he was beaten, verbally abused, and subjected to all sorts of torture for a long time after that incident.

And in the end, this did not deter the cousin; instead, he became even more outrageous.

In short, he felt no warmth or comfort from his family in this home.

At this moment, he seemed oblivious to Tommy's insults, silently picking up the pillows from the floor, rearranging them, and heading to the kitchen.

Calling it cooking is a bit of a stretch; it's basically just microwaving some canned food, making a lethal amount of cheese pasta, and then going out to buy two cups of the cheapest black coffee. It's a meal that's practically a calorie bomb.

As for why three people only need two cups of coffee for breakfast, the answer is even simpler.

Because it was none of his business; he never got to have any of these good things.

He only deserves to drink tap water with limescale that makes people suspect it could cause kidney stones, and then eat a little bread.

He wouldn't even get a chance to eat macaroni and cheese; he could only manage to eat a whole can of chickpeas dry, which was already his limit.

This resulted in him being the only person in the family with a normal body size who hadn't gained weight.

Making this kind of meal doesn't take much time; Dennis quickly prepared breakfast.

Because we have so-called 'guests' coming today, we added a little more stewed meat.

In reality, it's obvious that the so-called guests are basically just those random aunties that Aunt Becky knows from outside.

Some of these women are streetwalkers, while others are unemployed people who also frequent this community.

There were even some fellow inmates.

Ultimately, when the guests arrived, it proved that Dennis's idea was correct.

The visitors were none other than Aunt Becky's two "best friends".

He took the bread, canned food, and a glass of drinking water and went back to his room to eat.

As he ate, a familiar melancholy rose in his heart once again.

Of course, there was also a longing for family members.

His parents.

Although he has no memory of his parents, he firmly believes that if they were still alive, they would never have let him live the life he is living now.

But the person is gone, and the dead cannot be brought back to life no matter what.

"If only I could have gotten out of this family sooner," he murmured.

He wanted to leave.

I've wanted to leave for a very, very long time.

He's had enough of these days.

But it's clear that he can't leave now.

He is only 10 years old now, and he is eight years away from adulthood.

In other words, he has at least eight more years before he can leave this hell.

Starting this year, Aunt Becky has been considering stopping him from going to school, even the completely free community school.

She wanted him to go out and do illegal work as soon as possible to earn money for the family.

Aunt Becky talked to him a lot in an attempt to influence him and make him understand the hardships his family faced.

Thankfully, he didn't budge.

Although he was scolded several times and went hungry for several days for this, that was the price of disobeying the master of the house. (End of Chapter)
