*Are you still playing dumb? This is all your fault! If it weren't for you, how would your brother and | have ended

up clashing with Hansel?” Lucy snapped.

Now that there was no benefit to gain, she didn’t feel the need to act like a caring mother anymore.

Franklin was furious, and he chimed in, “Hansel went after us so ruthlessly! Why didn’t you warn us? Today, Mom

and | almost got killed because of him!

“Was this your plan all along? Were you hoping we'd get hurt so you could keep that three million all to

yourself?”

Ingrid quickly defended herself. “I didn’t! | would never try to hurt you. | had no idea Hansel would go far!

Lucy sneered. “You've been with Hansel for so long, and you expect us to believe you don’t know what kind of

“Stay put!” he shouted. “Mom and | have done so much for you this month, even We deserve some

compensation!”

Lucy rifled through the drawers and cabinets until she found a bank card tucked in Ingrid’s backpack.

“Frankie! Chere!” she called.

Franklin's eyes lit up with greed.

“That's my money! Give it back!” Ingrid cried, desperate to stop them. That card held all her remaining funds-

shoved her roughly, snarling. “So you were hiding money after all! | can’t believe how cunning you are!”

Lucy was unfazed as she said, “Frankie, don’t waste your breath. She's my daughter, and if | want to take her

money, | will. Let's go-we’re done here.”

If Ingrid had just been upfront about the money, they wouldn't have wasted so much time. Now, they were

making sure to collect what was theirs.
