Chapter 107 Guilt–Tripping
Grace’s sudden action startled me and the other customers as they looked at us in puzzlement. I tried to pull her hands off me, but she wouldn’t let go. “Chlo, you have to promise me, okay?”
I was upset and straightened up, saying “I’m sorry, but I’m not you. I can’t accept Matthew’s rotten behavior, so go home. Your son can always marry someone else. Besides, Melanie’s pregnant with his
child, isn’t he?”
“Chloe, you can’t do this to us!” Grace held onto me. “You can leave after all these years. You’re being
irresponsible!”
I scoffed, wondering how I was the one being irresponsible. However, what Grace said next made my jaw drop, “It’s enough that you took Ava. How could you also take Matthew’s hard–earned money? Worse,
you’re taking him to court over it.”
Grace looked at me resentfully as she continued, “You can’t take all the money. It’s fine if you want to get
a divorce, and we can let you keep your old place. The apartment belongs to Matthew!”
She spoke as if I was someone who had robbed their fortune, and I found it ironic. To them, my duty was
to serve the family.
I had to fund and work for them unconditionally, including giving birth, raising children, and caring for everyone. They even expected me to endure Matthew’s infidelity and provide for his mistress.
The Murphys were a screwed–up family. How dare she guilt–trip me?
Several customers shook their heads in disbelief after hearing what she said.
I no longer felt sorry for her and said, “If that’s what you think, save your breath. My answer is simple–i
won’t give up until I have everything. Even if the assets are in our names, Ava is still the legal heir, not to
mention Matthew was the one who cheated. I won’t put up with this shit like you
