Chapter 160

Margaret returned to her senses and answered, “Elizabeth, it’s not as simple as you think. I just… I’m fed

up with all this. I don’t want to put up with it anymore. I’d rather he hates me and drive me away. Then, I’ll

be relieved and free. I don’t want to .. be his wife anymore. Other people might be dying to do so, but I

don’t.”

Elizabeth sighed. “Silly girl, you don’t know how blessed you are. I don’t know everything that happened

between Mr. Lewis and you, but as far as I know, he’s good to you. He doesn’t treat you as an enemy

and has never asked you to do any dirty work since you were young. You’re just too stubborn in nature.

Mr. Lewis still had a smile on his face when he came back yesterday. I was wondering why you two

started fighting again when he was in one of his rare good moods. You also gave me a fright when you

came back from work to help me. It hasn’t even been a month since your miscarriage. How can you

exhaust yourself like this? Listen to me and just submit to him.”

Margaret pursed her lips wordlessly. As she was too tired, she fell asleep without realizing it.

When Elizabeth did not receive any response, she let out a breath and tucked Margaret in.

For some reason, perhaps to have a good laugh at Margaret, Christopher came home from work on time

almost every day and stayed in the living room longer than usual.

In order not to meet him, Margaret hardly set foot in the living room and only worked in the kitchen and

backyard. She only cleaned up the living room when he went upstairs. Everyone minded their own

business and did not interact. It was pretty nice.

Concurrently, inside Jodie’s rented apartment, she rummaged through her room with an anxious look on

her face. “Mom! Have you seen my bank card?”

Raina was eating snacks in the living room and answered somewhat absent mindedly, “No. Find it

yourself. Are you treating me like a thief?”

Jodie searched every corner of the house but could not find her bank card. No outsiders came into the

house, so she could not think of anyone else besides her mother. “Mom, tell me the truth. Did you touch

my bank çard? What did you do with it? You don’t even know my pin number! Hurry up and hand it over. I

need the money for an emergency.”

Raina hesitated before answering, “You told me you don’t have money and cry to me every day saying

you’re poor. There must be a lot of money in that card, huh? What urgent matter do you need it for?”

Jodie frowned. “There’s really an emergency! Give it to me!”

Raina saw that her daughter did not seem to be joking and slowly took the card out of her bag. “I… spent

some of the money.”

Jodie’s eyelid twitched several times. She had a sense of foreboding. “You spent it? You don’t even know

my pin number! How did you spend my money?”

Raina said somewhat guiltily, “All your pin numbers are your birthday… I just guessed. It’s only a little

money. The card has almost two million, yet you’re hiding it – all to yourself. You could clearly be living a

better life, but you make your own mother live like a beggar instead. I’ve raised you in vain!”

Jodie did not have the mood to get angry with Raina, for she had promised Margaret to find someone to

investigate Mr. Xenos. The fee was not a small sum, and the other party wanted her to pay the deposit

first.

When she checked the balance, she exploded. “Raina Gray! You call this ‘a little’?”

Raina was startled. “How dare you call my name directly? I’m your mother! Yes, I spent some, but so

what? Do you know how much money I spent raising you? What’s wrong with spending a little of your

money? Why are you shouting like that? Are you trying to scare me to death?”

Jodie could not stand it anymore. “You haven’t earned a single penny since you married my dad. How

dare you talk about raising me? All the money I spent since childhood was money earned by my father,

and it was the nanny who held me in her arms all day. What else have you done for me besides holding

me in your belly for ten months and giving birth to me? Do you know where this money came from? It

was the breakup fee from Jack! The breakup fee, understand? I was saving up to buy a house with it

since housing prices are so expensive now. Do you want to spend the rest of your life renting an

apartment? You’re not Mrs. Clark anymore. You’re nothing now that my father is dead, understand? I

work two jobs every day to support you, yet you’re still dissatisfied. If you continue to act like this, I won’t

give a d*mn about you anymore!”
