Grandma Clement smiled and said, "Haven is too greedy. She loves money too much. A thief is never going to change. She stole things when she was a child, so she is only going to steal more and more in the future."
Hearing this, Aisling was a little confused, "What do you mean by that?"
Grandma Clement picked up her cup and had a sip of water. Then she straightened her glasses and said sarcastically, "When she was in high school, she stole money from my closet many times. I caught her a couple of times. I never liked her, but she is the girl you brought back. I thought she at least would make you feel better after Eden was missing, so I never said anything."
"What?" Aisling was shocked. "I gave her a lot of pocket money at that time. I bought her whatever she wanted. Why did she still do that?"
Grandma Clement snorted and said, "God knows. She is so ungrateful and greedy. However, she became a person like this, you should also take responsibility. You are the person who owes her the most in the world."
Upon hearing this, Aisling instantly felt pressure on her shoulders.
"How can you say that? You have seen how I treated her. I sent her to the best school and I bought her the most expensive clothes. I gave her everything she wanted. I already tried my best. It's her own fault that she ended up like this. It has nothing to do with me."
Grandma Clement shook her head slightly and said, "You're her mom. No matter what you gave her, you didn't make her a good person, then it is your failure. But it doesn't matter anymore. Our Clement family has never treated her badly, so we don't need to feel guilty."
Then she sighed slightly.
Everything was meant to be this way.
Aisling didn't say anything anymore. She had already thought about it, but things had come to this point, no one had a way back anymore.
Malcom finally got some time to call Amelia and asked her how was everything going.
"Mr. Mulroney," Amelia received his call as soon as she left the factory.
She already knew that he would call her, and Lucian had already told her what she should say,
"Amelia, it's been a couple of days. Why didn't you call me?" Malcom's voice was very gentle, however, it still made Amelia feel disgusted.
"It's all done. My eldest brother has agreed. I'm very busy these days, so when will you have time? I have already looked at some villas. Are you sure you will buy it for me?" Amelia's tone was full of expectation.
"Villa?" There was a cry of surprise from Malcom.
"Amelia, I thought you said apartment before?"
Hearing this, Amelia laughed sarcastically. "Mr. Mulroney, I never said apartment before. You are the one who said that you will guarantee that I get what I want if I can save your life. Do you want to go back on your words?" There was a hint of threat in Amelia's tone.
He should have already prepared to be blackmailed by her from the beginning.
However, it was a shame that Amelia was not the girl he thought she was.
She was only saying this to win his trust.
So that the police would be able to get more evidence.
"Amelia, you..." Malcom originally wanted to say that she thought too much of herself.
But when he thought of that he had just convinced her, he knew he couldn't be too pushy.
"Ok, it's all up to you. But can you come to my apartment tonight?" Malcom sounded very weird, so Amelia instantly understood what he meant.
She couldn't help but swear at this shameless brat in her heart.
"I'm sorry. I have to work until very late tonight. I assume you already know what happened to Haven, so everyone is very busy now in my company. I will call you to check out the villa when I have time."
If she really went to his apartment tonight, she would never be able to come back out in one piece.
