Any metropolis that should be as glamorous as heaven in the minds of ordinary people has no shortage of dark corners like hell.

The same is true in Manhattan.

The mother and daughter of Gralph, who once lived at the top of the city's pyramid, have a deep understanding of this during this time, and Laura Gralff lost her restaurant job for attacking diners last month, and Simon hinted that Grace, who already had little patience, kicked the three out of the apartment she rented for them.

The mother-daughter trio, who are actually completely bankrupt, experienced the feeling of being on the streets for the first time.

A true drop joint.

In addition to the few clothes that Grace threw out together, the three of them only had less than $20 in cash, which was not enough for a meal.

With the last expectation, I used the coin-operated phone to make a few phone calls to some old people in the past, and as a result, the whole of Manhattan still avoided them like a plague god. In the end, Laura Grahlph called her three brothers' homes, and in any case, this was their last retreat.

The phone was connected, but as soon as he spoke, the eldest brother hung up the phone very hard. They apparently still hold a grudge against her stinginess for causing her children to miss Brown University.

The second brother and the third brother didn't hang up the phone for the first time.

After chatting a few words, I heard that she wanted to take her two daughters back to Georgia to live for a while, but they immediately refused, and between the words, it turned out that they already knew that the Grave family was in big trouble in New York, and they were just ordinary small farmers in the southern United States, and they didn't want to provoke this.

Without the help of her three brothers, it would have been impossible for her to forcibly return to Georgia with her two daughters, because she simply could not afford to pay for the journey.

The night of the first day was fast approaching.

The mother and daughter struggled to wander the brightly lit streets, but found that the city was so big that there was no place for them, until finally they couldn't go any further, found a park, and shrank in a corner of the park lawn for a night under the various eyes of the homeless people who seemed to emerge from the ground.

The next morning, the youngest daughter quarreled with Laura Grave over breakfast, believing that she had annoyed Grace, causing the three of them to live on the streets.

The eldest daughter also looked at her mother with a little more hatred.

Laura Grave is not a good temper either, she directly hit her little daughter in the face, she has no patience for the two oil bottles who always complain about her, and threatens to get out of the house if she doesn't want to follow her, don't you want to run away from home, anyway, now that there is no home, you can go as you want.

It's noisy, but in the end it's still making do with it.

Always have to live.

Laura Grahlf tried to find another job, but after two days of tossing, whether it was a restaurant, a shopping mall, or a small company that hired miscellaneous workers, they all refused, and even kicked her out again because of Laura Gralph's appearance.

On the night of the fourth day, a man who was driving by suddenly noticed the three mothers and daughters huddled in a corner of James Park in Greenwich Village, and stepped forward to 'talk', and learned that the three daughters were actually mother and daughter, and his eyes were even greener, and he directly offered a high price of $1,000, as long as the three of them got into the car with him.

$1,000, if before, is not even enough for Laura Gralf to buy a bottle of cosmetics.

Now, the three women who haven't eaten properly for four days have reached their weakest point, and of course they know what kind of women men think they are, but for $1,000, you can find a place to live and sleep well, you can eat a very good meal, you can ......

The man seemed to see Laura Gralph's loosening and raised the price to $1,500.

The eldest daughter, Cathy Grave, suddenly broke out and told the man to fuck off.

The man was very patient, saying that this was already a very high price, and the top call girl in Manhattan could only take so much, and the average street girl only needed $50 at a time, sensing Cathy Gravel's resistance, the man took a step back, saying that she could do nothing, just get in the car together.

Noticing that Cathy Gravel had pulled her sister away from her mother again, the man took a step back, saying in a good way that the sisters just had to watch.

Laura Grave, who was still a little ashamed in the end, saw the reaction of a pair of daughters, thought about it, and tested the man if she could get into the car alone, but the man immediately turned his face, although he did not refuse, but immediately reduced the price from $1,500 to $100.

After a lot of talking, the mother and daughter finally got into the Ford car parked on the side of the road.

Immediately, the police suddenly appeared.

In New York, this kind of thing is illegal.

For the first time, the mother and daughter were put in prison.

It's a full five days.

There are many people in this world who deliberately commit crimes and go to prison to live because they can't get by, but if they really go to prison, they probably don't want to go back to that place for the rest of their lives.

The three mothers and daughters are not guilty of a big crime, but after knowing the relationship between the three daughters, even the prison guards who are used to seeing all kinds of evil things can't get used to Laura Grahlf taking her two daughters to do this kind of thing together, so their attitude towards her is even worse.

Asked if she had a contact person who could bail them out, Laura Grahrf could only leave Grace's phone number.

When the mother and daughter thought Grace Sprout had completely forgotten about them, the agent finally showed up five days later, and they moved into the basement of the East Village.

This is a public dormitory for ELITE models who have signed contracts at the beginning of their careers.

A small room, four beds, a kitchen and a bathroom are shared, but that's it, each bed costs $1,000 per month, which is enough to rent a single room outside, but, this is actually one of the sources of income for modeling agencies, since you sign a contract with elite, you want to get training, you want to become famous, you want to become a supermodel, you have to accept the company's arrangement, or to be more precise, squeeze.

After the rearrangement, the mother and daughter will have $2,000 a month in living expenses, which comes from Laura Grave's two daughters, $1,000 each, and Grace said she will continue to raise them.

As for Laura Grave, she was arranged as an assistant to her two daughters, and her daily work was only to accompany them to model training courses, as well as occasional sporadic work, basically unable to go on stage to try on models, working as clothes racks for various studios, magazine catwalks and other appearances.

In fact, this is the survival state of most young models at the beginning of their careers.

There are so many beautiful girls in this world, how can it be so easy to get out just by virtue of a body and face.

After arranging these, Grace seemed to forget about the three of them again, and was only the assistant to the agent on weekdays.

After sleeping on the streets and being imprisoned, the mother and daughter have completely recognized their situation, and the pampering of Manhattan's high society has completely left them, and now, the Graph family is just a few ants at the bottom of the metropolis.

A new day.

Laura Graph was awakened by the sound of an argument, sat up irritably, and saw the youngest daughter walking into the room with tears on her face, crying and throwing herself on the bed, outside the sound of the eldest daughter arguing with another girl.

Cursing in a low voice, Laura Grave lay down with her head covered again.

Don't want to care.

Actually, it can't be argued.

The girls who break into the metropolis and struggle to climb up will be as docile as kittens in front of those agents, but few of them are really good at talking to each other.

Soon, the eldest daughter also walked in from the outside choking.

Throwing the washbasin on the floor, scattering towels and toothbrushes, and noticing the sight of her mother sleeping with her head covered, Cathy Grahlph kicked the plastic basin again, making a clattering and cracking sound.

Laura Graph immediately sat up, glared at her daughter, and said, "Cathy, do you think these things don't cost money?"

Cathy Grave still had tears in her eyes, and she stomped on the cracked plastic basin again, glaring at her mother: "The money is earned by me and Victoria, and you are spending our money." ”

was rejected by her daughter, Laura Grahlfe was a little annoyed and blurted out: "I'm your mother." ”

Cathy Gravel was unrelenting: "I don't have a mom like you, and if you hadn't annoyed Ms. Grace, how would we be living here." Ms. Grace was so nice to us at first, and it was all you, and it was all because of you. ”

It just so happened that another girl walked in from the outside with her toiletries.

Seeing the scattered room, the girl named Angela Lindwo didn't say anything, put the toiletries on the shelves, silently climbed to her own bed in the upper bunk, took out the makeup utensils from the locker at the head of her bed and began to draw on her face.

Angela Lindwo is 15 years old and hails from Kansas City, Missouri, in the central United States.

Since last year, the girl has frequently sent her information to modeling agencies in New York, initially signed under the Spectrum Model Agency, which is also the company where Daniela Pusteva, who has recently been highly praised by Elite.

The spectrum modeling agency was on the verge of collapse during this time, and Grace noticed Angela when she poached Daniela Pusteva from this company, and found that the girl was also a good seedling, so she dug it up together.

Temporarily arranged here.

has been reminded by Ms. Grace in advance, don't have too much intersection with these three women, if they have any special actions on weekdays, they have to call her at any time, the smart Angela naturally understands, and at the same time, from Ms. Grace's arrangement of her on weekdays, she knows that this agent is really trying to train her, so she is more obedient.

Today was arranged to go to the studio of the famous designer Isaac Mizrahi as a fitting model, it is said that the other party is still cooperating with Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures to shoot a documentary, he is likely to have the opportunity to appear, the opportunity is rare, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the things of the mother and daughter, Angela carefully prepared, changed into a beautiful dress, completely ignored the mother and daughter who were still fighting each other, and left the dormitory with a bag on her back.

Seeing Angela leave energetically, Cathy Grave also put away her thoughts about fighting with her mother and began to prepare.

She was also assigned a job today.

As for breakfast and the like, where do the models need to eat breakfast.

As soon as she put foundation on her face, there was some movement outside the dormitory, which was a greeting, and the voice happened to be the girl who had just quarreled with her, and the tone was flattering and humble.

Cathy Grave stood up from the small dresser, and Grace Spurt, who wore a black OL suit, walked in with a little more of a strong woman's temperament.

Laughing and sending Angela who came back behind her, Grace looked at the still scattered room, her face flashed with some displeasure, but she just said, "Hurry up and change your clothes and come with me." As he spoke, he looked at Cathy again and said, "Wipe your face off, what does it look like." ”

Cathy Grave was a little aggrieved, she had just started to put on makeup, of course she looked like this, but she didn't dare to refute it, and smiled flatteringly.

Laura Graph saw that Grace was obviously many years younger, and some hatred flashed through her heart again, and she never forgot that this woman had robbed her of her opportunity, her chance to climb Simon Westeros.

However, Laura Graff also did not dare to show resentment in her heart.

Although it is not much better than a prison, it does not need to sleep on the streets, and it is considered to be free of food and clothing.

As for the life she once had, Laura Graff had long since dared not think about it.

The mother and daughter obediently changed their clothes, did not put on any more makeup, and left the dormitory with Grace, came to the street outside, and got into Grace's car, Cathy Grave asked cautiously, "Lady Grace, what are we going to do?"

Grace glanced at the three mothers and daughters crowded in the back seat, did not answer, just started the car.

After a half-hour drive through the streets of Manhattan, Grace finally took the mother and daughter to a girls' clubhouse on Lessington Avenue on the Upper East Side.

Throughout the morning, Laura Grave felt like she had gone back in time.

More than a dozen professional beauty technicians surround the mother and daughter, from head to toe, haircut, eyebrow shaping, hair removal, nail art, SPA, massage and ......

By noon, the mother-daughter trio, who had been in a bit of a bad state for a few months, returned to the glory and delicacy of an Upper East Side woman, and finally someone sent a full shelf of top brands for a family of three to choose from, a treatment that even Laura Grahlfe had never had before.

Although there were several nurse-like girls who took away several tubes of blood samples from the three of them during the morning maintenance process, and also took mucosal samples from the mouth and some other intimate parts, as if they were doing a physical examination, the Grahlph family did not care about these details.

There is nothing left anyway.

There's no way Grace Sprout could sell them.

Even, what can be done if you sell it, it will not be worse than living in a basement.
