She thought to herself, This slap earned me one hundred dollars, which is more cost-effective than working for a whole day!So, she suppressed her inner excitement and replied, “Okay, let’s just forget about this matter. Next time, remember not to judge a book by its cover and look down on others!” The opposite party immediately nodded with respect and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember…”*** While Lady Wilson held the two hundred Oskian dollar notes and carried the four big bags into the house, the smell of food had permeated the house. Jennifer and two others were the ones who had cooked. They were cleaners at the supermarket today and since the pay was one hundred Oskian dollars per day, it would total up to three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars for three people. Nowadays, with three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars, the three of them could go to a restaurant to have a normal meal. But they carefully used three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars to cook
Hannah had never thought that Lady Wilson would fall out with her. Seeing her carrying many plastic bags filled with food, she said aggrievedly, “Mother, since you’ve brought back so much good food, let me take a few bites. After all, I’ve starved for a long time…” Lady Wilson snorted, “Go get a job to feed yourself. How shameless of you to ask an elderly like me to feed you!” Hannah nervously blurted out, “That’s all Jacob’s fault! Otherwise, I would’ve earned more than you by working as a cashier!” Lady Wilson pouted and said, “All these are none of my business. The money you earn belongs to yourself while the money I earn is mine. We shan’t take advantage of each other. As such, don’t you ever think of taking in my meals. Go work outside and earn your own meal!” Hannah glared at her furiously. Then, she blurted out, “Old lady, are you throwing stones at me who has fallen into a well? If you insist, I’ll leave this house!” Lady Wilson laughed and clapped h
Christopher’s eyes were flushed red as he said, “Mom, I’ll go out and work when I get better. Even if I have to go to the construction site and carry cement, I will make sure that I do everything possible to make money to make up for this family’s living expenses. I won’t allow you to go out and suffer and work so hard when you are already so old!”Harold also said vaguely, “Grandma, I’ll also go then!”Lady Wilson nodded before she said, “Both of you should focus on recuperating and recovering. After both of you get well, I’ll have to depend on you two to look after me and give me a proper burial after my death then!”As the Wilson family of four finally enjoyed a full meal, Hannah cried in her own room to the point that her face was covered in tears.As she was suffering from hunger and cold, Hannah did not only feel despair because of the Wilson family, but she had also made a decision in her heart to prepare to leave this place.She did not intend to stay in this house any lon
Since Claire and Loreen had already known each other for so many years, Claire also had some understanding of her family situation. When she heard that Loreen was planning to bring her cousin here with her, she asked curiously, “Loreen, is Dylan the cousin that you’re referring to?”Loreen laughed slightly before she said, “Yes, that’s him.”“Ahhh?” Claire suddenly recalled the image of that good-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family and she asked in surprise, “What is your cousin doing in Aurous Hill?”Loreen replied, “After staying in Eastcliff for such a long time, he is always causing trouble there. So, he came to Aurous Hill to discipline himself for a while.”Claire asked in surprise, “Discipline himself? How is he going to discipline himself?”Loreen smiled before he said, “He’s going to practice a scanty livelihood. He is currently renting a place to live in Cliffcouls now and the living conditions aren’t that easy and it is really tough.”Claire could not help but
After Loreen, who was sitting in the co-driver’s seat, hung up the phone with Claire, Dylan scowled miserably as he asked, “Loreen, can’t you go to Charlie’s house on your own? Why do you have to bring me along with you? I really don’t want to see his face for a minute at all.”When Loreen saw Dylan’s face which was filled with grievances, she could not help but ridiculed him as she said, “Brother, aren’t you being a little too timid and cowardly? I’m bringing you to Charlie’s house to send our New Year’s greetings. I’m not sending you there to fight with Charlie, so what are you afraid of?”Dylan sighed as he said, “Sigh. Loreen, you might not know this, but I’ve only met Charlie Wade twice in total and nothing good happens whenever I see him! The first time I met him, I had to swallow a necklace and undergo a surgery because of it. The second time I met him, he asked me to ride a bicycle all the way from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill. If he isn’t happy when I see him again this time, th
Dylan had asked the question so suddenly that Loreen had no time to cover up at all. She was flustered and she hurriedly replied out of embarrassment as she said, “You…you…don’t talk nonsense. I…I don’t like Charlie!”“I don’t believe you!” Dylan curled his lips as he said, “I’ve been pursuing so many different girls for so many years so I understand women very well. Based on your current reaction, I can be certain that you have a crush on Charlie!”Loreen pretended to feel very impatient and said, “Oh! You can think whatever you want to. I am too lazy to be bothered with you.”Dylan reminded her, “Loreen, Charlie is a married man so you’d better stay away from him. Otherwise, if word gets out to the public that the eldest young lady of the Thomas family is in love with a married man, then the Thomas family will certainly lose face because of you!”When Loreen heard this, she suddenly became very angry and she blurted out, “You actually have the face to talk about me? The whole cit
Just as Dylan was driving towards Thompson First, a series of loud curses broke out early in the morning in the quiet villa area of Thompson First.It was Lady Wilson who was cursing out loud.When she woke up early in the morning, she realized that the two hundred dollars in her pocket was already gone.The first thought that came to her mind was that her money had been stolen!At that time, she immediately thought that there was an 80% chance that her money had been stolen by Jennifer and the other two women.However, when she was about to drag Hannah with her to go and confront Jennifer, she discovered the note that Hannah left behind and she realized that Hannah was already gone.At this moment, Lady Wilson realized that her hard-earned money of two hundred dollars had already been stolen by her eldest daughter-in-law, Hannah.She exploded in an instant!After all, she had endured a lot of hardships and sufferings in exchange for that two hundred dollars, even getting beate
Elaine was cooking on the first floor. When she heard Lady Wilson cursing out loud early in the morning, she hurried out with her crutches to watch the excitement.At this time, Charlie and Claire also happened to be walking down the stairs. They happened to see Elaine who was coming out with her crutch.Elaine hurriedly asked excitedly, “Oh! Did both of you hear that d*mned old lady cursing out loud?”Charlie and Claire nodded. After that, Claire replied embarrassedly, “I wonder what’s wrong with Grandma? Why did she start cursing out loud on the balcony on the second floor early in the morning?”When Elaine heard this, she said excitedly, “Claire, hurry up! Help me up the stairs to go have a look!”Claire replied helplessly, “Mom, what is there to look at…”Elaine put her right arm on the crutch as she patted her left leg and blurted out, “What else would be better to look at compared to this? Hurry up and help me up quickly! Otherwise, if I’m late, I won’t be able to watch the
