Maisie looked down and softly muttered, "I have to support myself in Centrolis, and living there is expensive. I need

to save some money."

This revelation took Cindy aback. She remembered her youngest daughter as the most obedient, never one to

argue back.

Daniel was a tough one to handle, and Maisie had spent three years with him. Cindy knew Maisie well— her

daughter was docile and meek, never daring to fight back. But now, she was refusing to send money home!

Cindy glared at her and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you spend all your money on your little lover?"

Maisie was baffled. "What little lover?"

"The guy!" Cindy flared up. "Oh, I know! You went behind Mr. Bayer's back, cheated on him, and got caught by the

Bayers. That's why the engagement was canceled, right?"

"Mom..."

Maisie felt wronged. She couldn't believe this was her own mother. Was this how a mother treated her daughter

after a breakup? Was this the norm?

Maisie turned away in silence.

Cindy was getting more irritated by her silence and was ready to explode, but they heard Nicole's voice from

outside.

"Mom, I bought the things you asked for!"

Nicole hurried into the kitchen and shielded Maisie. She was there to defuse the situation. "Mom, Maisie just got

back. How can you make her work in the kitchen? If there's anything to do, I'll handle it. Let Maisie rest!"

"What are you eating if no one works? If I didn't work, you kids wouldn't have grown up like this," Cindy said crossly.

Maisie found her mother deeply annoying, and Nicole felt helpless as well.

"Mom, you shouldn't treat Maisie like this," Nicole whispered. "Breakups don't happen because of one person. Mr.

Bayer had his faults, too."

"What are you meddling in?" Cindy snapped. "You should handle your own matters! Wesley is a capable person. He

could've earned some money for our family. Yet you divorced him! Hmph! I wonder who you'll find now!"

The atmosphere turned icy in an instant.

Maisie couldn't help but let out a snort. She was secretly grateful for her memory loss, sparing her from

remembering a childhood filled with such miserable memories.

"Alright, you two can't help much anyway. Get out now!" Cindy glanced at them. "Owen will be back soon, and he'll

be hungry. I need to finish cooking the chicken soup for him!"

Maisie shot a puzzled look at Nicole. "Where did Owen go?"

Nicole whispered, "He went to gamble."

There was nowhere else Owen could go except for drinking or gambling.

Maisie was annoyed. "Mom, Owen never does anything productive. Why do you indulge him like this? And you want

me to work hard to support him?"

"What's wrong with that?" Cindy argued. "Your brother is in poor health. Playing a little can help him relax. Ah, why

are you two still standing here? Our house is going to be demolished soon. We'll get a new house and

compensation.

"Nicole, take your sister and sign that agreement quickly so we don't have any more issues!"

Maisie couldn't believe her ears. She looked at her mother, and a volcano of anger was boiling within her.

"So..." Maisie's voice quivered with rage. "Your daughters' role in this family is just to subsidize your son, isn't it?"

"What's wrong?" Cindy retorted. "This house was left to me by your father. I have the right to deal with it. I can give

it to anyone I want!"

"Did our house used to be like this?" Maisie raised her voice suddenly. "When I was in Centrolis and you visited me,

didn't you say we were living well?! How come we've moved to this old, run-down place now? Did Owen squander

that house away, and you're eyeing this old house now?!"
