Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 436

"Can you believe this mess? It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you, me and your brother wouldn't be in hot water with Murray!"

Seeing no more benefits coming her way, Maisie dropped the act of a caring mother.

Farley exclaimed, "Murray's got a wicked punch, why didn't you warn us? Mom and I nearly got killed today. Are you trying to off us so you can hog the three million for yourself?"

Millie quickly defended herself, "I didn't! Why would I ever want to harm you? I had no idea he could be so ruthless!"

Maisie scoffed, "You've been hanging around Murray long enough. How could you not know what kind of man he is?"

Farley chimed in, "Exactly! These injuries are gonna cost a fortune. Now that Murray's cut us off, you owe me big time!"

"Don't play poor with me. Murray mentioned he gave you three million!"

Maisie was fuming at the thought. Despite having money, Millie had kept it hidden, all to make them take the risks while she reaped the rewards.

Millie's eyes flickered, her lips tightening, "I don't have much on me right now... I can only give you twenty thousand for now..."

"Bullshit! You think I don't know you're holding out on us? Where's the card? Here? Or here?"

Maisie knew her daughter all too well, certain she was stashing money away.

Ignoring Millie's cries, Maisie began to search everywhere.

Millie, desperate to protect her remaining savings, tried to get out of bed, but Farley blocked her.

"Stay put! Do you know how much Mom and I have done for you this month? We nearly got run over by a car. It's only right you pay us for our troubles!"

After ransacking the desk and cabinets, Maisie finally found a bank card in a backpack.

"Farley! Look!"

Farley's eyes gleamed with greed.

"That's my money! Give it back!" Millie tried to get out of bed, panicking. That card contained all her savings.
