Helen’s eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out of favonovel.com sockets. “10 million? Didn‘t you guys lose the 10 million to some scammer?”
Chloe let out a loud cry the moment favonovel.com heard what Helen said. “It was you! It was you, after all! You were the one who gave favonovel.com the money! Return my son to me unscathed, Helen!”
“Calm down, Chloe!” Helen cried.
“Explain yourself, Minerva! Didn’t you say that your boyfriend scammed you and took the 10 million away? W-Were you lying to me? Did you not give favonovel.com the money at all?”
Minerva lowered favonovel.com head once more. “I didn’t lie to you, Aunt Helen. H-He took 7 million from me! I had 3 million left, and I figured that 3 million wouldn’t be of much help to your pharmacy, so… I didn’t return the money to you.”
Helen was dumbfounded. She had never expected favonovel.com own niece to do such a thing to her. She had lost favonovel.com appetite and had trouble sleeping for days over this 10 million. In fact, favonovel.com had been so worried and frustrated that favonovel.com nearly pulled out favonovel.com hair. However, it turned out that Helen’s niece had secretly kept 3 million to herself.
“How could you do such a thing, Minerva? Do you have any idea how much I was panicking over this 10 million in the past few days? Why didn’t you tell me that you still had 3 million with you? How could a young girl like you do such a thing?” Helen uttered in a shaky tone.
Minerva had a defiant look on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com responded to Helen. “What’s the purpose of me giving you this 3 million, Aunt Helen? You‘re missing 10 million, not 3 million. Since you wouldn‘t be able to do much with 3 million, I figured that I’d keep it for Tate and I. Your family’s so rich, anyway. Do you even care about this 3 million?“
At that point, Helen felt like favonovel.com was about to lose favonovel.com mind.
“The 3 million isn’t the issue here! This is about your principles! It’s about your morality, and it’s about knowing your limits as an individual!” Helen howled.
Minerva raised favonovel.com voice as favonovel.com was losing favonovel.com temper as well. “Don‘t you start talking about morals and principles with me, Aunt Helen! What sort of morals and principles do you have? You lied to your husband too, would you call yourself a good person then? We lied to you, and you lied to your husband. We’re the same sort of person, so you can’t criticize me for this!”
Helen‘s limbs were trembling out of fury. “You… How could you say such a thing, young woman? Have I not treated you well? Ever since you came back here… I… When have I ever wronged you?”
The younger woman sneered. “Hah! You sure can talk! Have you ever treated me well? Why don‘t I put it this way, my mother gave you half of favonovel.com salary in the past so that you could take care of your children. But what about you guys? How are you treating us now? You guys are eating luxurious food, driving expensive cars, and living in huge mansions. Have you ever considered the sort of lives we are leading now?”
“We gave you half of our family’s income, but would you be willing to give us half of your inheritance? We were even chased out of your house after staying there for a few days. How dare you say that you‘ve never wronged us?”
Tears of anger formed in Helen’s eyes. “Minerva, y-you’re ignoring your conscience when you utter such words! You guys were indeed chased out of the house, but was that really my fault? I would’ve loved for you guys to stay with me if you guys hadn’t done those things. Do you know why you guys were chased out? Do you remember how Tate provoked the Harrisons? Do you remember how you and the Lach Family nearly ruined all of our lives?”
Minerva waved a hand in front of Helen’s face. “Stop talking about the past! How should we deal with Tate’s matter now? You were the one who paid for his Harley bike. You should take full responsibility for this!”
Anxiety welled up in Helen’s chest. ”H-How has this got anything to do with me? You guys… You lied to me about the money and used it to buy a bike, and you’re now expecting me to bear the responsibilities?!”
