That was such a grand gesture.
My gaze flicked to the check, spotting a number starting with five followed by a string of zeros.
I had never imagined a scenario straight out of a soap opera would play out in my life. No, it was even more dramatic than that.
In those stories, the male lead's mother would show up with a check, telling the heroine to take a hike. What on earth was happening to me?
I couldn't help but laugh. "So, you think you've got me cornered today?"
So, she was determined to remove me, a mere obstacle, for her precious daughter.
Susan's eyes were cold as she looked at me. "What do you think?"
I picked up the check, and to her satisfaction, I tore it to shreds, letting the pieces fall to the ground as I calmly said, "I'm sorry to disappoint. I'm not taking threats or bribes!"
After all, those with nothing to lose feared nothing. The Myers family had their reputation to consider, but me? I had nothing to fear.
I said coldly, "I don't believe the Myers family can make me vanish into thin air."
"You!" Susan pointed at me, livid. "Don't come crying when you regret not taking the easy way out!"
"Oh, Dorothy is indeed the apple of your eye. You two even share the same lines." I commented dryly, "Maybe try a new script next time. It's getting old."
Then, pulling a hundred-dollar bill from my purse, I slapped it in front of Susan. "Acting like I'm broke? Take this and keep your daughter away from me!" With that, I turned and left, ignoring her flushed face.
Humiliation wasn't a privilege reserved for the wealthy alone.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
