Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1689

Maisie looked down and softly muttered, "I have to support myself in Centrolis, and living there is expensive. I need to save some money."

This revelation took Cindy aback. She remembered her youngest daughter as the most obedient, never one to argue back.

Daniel was a tough one to handle, and Maisie had spent three years with him. Cindy knew Maisie well—her daughter was docile and meek, never daring to fight back. But now, she was refusing to send money home!

Cindy glared at her and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you spend all your money on your little lover?"

Maisie was baffled. "What little lover?"

"The guy!" Cindy flared up. "Oh, I know! You went behind Mr. Bayer's back, cheated on him, and got caught by the Bayers. That's why the engagement was canceled, right?"

"Mom..."

Maisie felt wronged. She couldn't believe this was her own mother. Was this how a mother treated her daughter after a breakup? Was this the norm?

Maisie turned away in silence.

Cindy was getting more irritated by her silence and was ready to explode, but they heard Nicole's voice from outside.

"Mom, I bought the things you asked for!"

Nicole hurried into the kitchen and shielded Maisie. She was there to defuse the situation. "Mom, Maisie just got back. How can you make her work in the kitchen? If there's anything to do, I'll handle it. Let Maisie rest!"

"What are you eating if no one works? If I didn't work, you kids wouldn't have grown up like this," Cindy said crossly.

Maisie found her mother deeply annoying, and Nicole felt helpless as well.
