Nonetheless, this was only the beginning.
“Aggie.”
Dane wanted to hold Mable’s hand. However, she slapped it away before he could touch her.
Slap!
The sound was crisp.
Mable took a step back, looking cold and disgusted. “Mr. Snyder, I don’t pick up trash!”
Dane froze.
A mocking laugh came from the crowd.
“Ms. Jefferson was trained to be an heir by Old Master Jefferson since she was a child. She has high aspirations, so how could she return to her ex after moving on?”
“The Snyders are so greedy, it’s unsightly. If not for Old Mrs. Jefferson and Old Mrs. Snyder being close friends, how could Dane be good enough for Ms. Jefferson?”
“I think Ms. Jefferson wasn’t interested in Dane, to begin with, or she wouldn’t have said that.”
…
Dane clenched his fists tightly. He was embarrassed after being slapped in the face.
Moreover, he was referred to as trash!
Marissa bit her lower lip hard. Her eyes were bloodshot from hatred.
‘Agnes, you b*tch! Aren’t you implying that I’m someone who picks up trash?!’
Seeing her son being humiliated, Mrs. Snyder glared at Mable. “Agnes, how could you talk like that? Where are your manners?!”
Mable told her off. “You’re not worthy of my manners!”
“You!”
Mable could not be bothered to talk nonsense with them anymore. She reminded them, “A billion dollars transferred to my account within the week. I’ll see you in court if the amount isn’t right.”
She paused for a moment and looked at Mr. and Mrs. Snyder. “Of course, if your family is so strapped now that you can’t even take out a billion dollars, I’ll give you a few more days for the sake of the relationship between my grandma and Grandma Charlotte.”
