“Ten million is such a small amount! It won’t even cover the mortgage for this house! Even the salary for the servants alone amounts to a hundred thousand!” The situation left Jezebelle feeling dismal. She spent millions on her skincare products alone. If she were to take into account the apparel and clothes that she regularly bought, ten million wouldn’t even sustain her for a year.
“Are you still dreaming of having servants? You should pluck your head out of the clouds and be grateful that you don’t need to live on the streets!”
Glaring at Roland, she snapped, “It’s all your daughter’s fault! Not only did she buy off your company, but she kicked you, her father, out of it!”
“Oh, your daughter isn’t any better! She’s constantly trying to plot against people, but her schemes wound up backfiring on herself! By the way, Meredith is a celebrity, so why isn’t she helping us out financially when we’re in such a predicament?”
“You—” Furious at Roland for being scornful at her daughters, Jezebelle was at a loss for words.
“I’ll go examine our old house tomorrow. We’ll be moving in after tidying it up a bit.”
“What?” Jezebelle gaped at him. “Why are we moving? You must be crazy! Megan will soon be discharged! She’ll feel bad if she realizes our house is gone when she comes back!”
“Do I look like I’m feeling good about this?” Roland smacked his own chest. “This house will cost us a million per month, so we won’t be able to afford it! It’s fortunate that Megan will soon be discharged, or else her ward will cost us two hundred thousand every day! We should think about killing ourselves if this keeps up!”
Rendered speechless by his laments, she realized nothing she said would help ease their situation now that it had come to this. “Why did I choose to marry a useless prick like you who can’t even rein his own daughter in? You must be a jinx! After Cecilia died a miserable death because of you, it’s my turn now to fall victim to your ill fortune! Oh, woe is me!” Jezebelle began wailing.
