Selina said. “Susic is already walking on thin ice because of her origins. No one is friendly to her. During every family gathering, she was treated differently. Her life in the Brady family was not that miserable before. Thanks to precious son, she is having a tough time. Do you have any idea of it?”
Nora told all this to Selina. It was the truth.

Susie was not only a champion. She was greatly influenced by her best friend in the past years so she was good at investing.
Samuel was a civil servant and was never involved in business, which made him stand out in the Brady family. The education he had received since childhood in the Brady family and his rich experience enabled him to give Susie some useful guidance. Sometimes when Trevon came over for dinner, Susie would ask him about investment.
A truly excellent woman not only looked pretty and kept fit but also knew how to improve herself in all aspects. This was why Samuel fell in love with Susie.
All the money that Susie earned was spent on her family. Although her family made Susie being looked down on by others. she still felt it was her home, the place where she grew up.
But the Baxter family failed Susie. They didn’t do anything to make her happy. Instead, they kept asking her for money to the point where she was about to break down.
Bernard looked at Susic in surprise. Susie never told Bernard these things. Susie only shared the good news with Bernard. She never told him anything negative. He knew it was difficult to survive in a rich family. So he asked Susie to think carefully about it. Seeing that Samuel and Susie were happy, he thought Susie was living a good life in the Brady family. So, what Selina just said surprised him.
Hearing Selina’s words, Monica said, “Everyone. Calm down. Don’t have a fight. Susie, I know, we disappointed you” She could feel it vaguely but when the truth was revealed, she still felt distressed and heartbroken.
Susie looked at Monica and couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. Her lips kept trembling. She said, “Mom, I’m fine. I’m all right” As she said, she burst into tears. Finally, Susie and Monica hugged each other tightly, crying their eyes

Selina glanced at Monica. She didn’t want to scold Monica, Susic looked like she was having a beautiful life but actually, her life was a living hell. Her cowardly mother was responsible for it. It was what she was. No matter how the others told her, she wouldn’t realize the truth until she suddenly somehow had an enlightenment moment and had the courage to protect her daughter.
David was dumbfounded. His parents had come here to help him in the first place. Ever since he quit, he couldn’t shake the thought of restarting it. There was no way a gambler who had been gambling for so many years and didn’t have to take responsibility gave up so easily. This time, he turned to Susic, hoping she could be his safety net–someone to cover his debts if he lost again.
Now that Seling had ruined his plan, Bernard went from being aggressive to looking weak and defeated. And Monica seemed to be siding with Susie. David couldn’t help but think, So now it’s all my fault?”
Looking at Monica and Susie, Bernard muttered and finally stood up. He said, “Susie, I hope your brother’s hand will pay off what we owe you. I hope he won’t get involved in trouble again after this matter is over. With this, I hope he will keep quiet
for a while.”
David couldn’t help shouting, Dadt What is going on with you? This is not what we agreed on
Bernard said, “Your hand is already cut off. We can’t change that after all. At most, your sister can help you pay for the surgery to make your life easier. Well, this matter is over. If you go to the casino again, you’d better die. Don’t call me Dad again! After saying that, Bernard left with his hands behind his back. David looked around and didn’t know what to do, In the end, he shrank his neck and followed Bernard out.

Seeing that Susie and Monica were almost finished crying. Selina stepped forward to help them stand up. “Okay, everyone. Get up. Stop crying. It will be bad for your health. At least, you can live a peaceful life for some time after today.”
Susie held Selina’s hand tightly and said gratefully. Thank you. Selina. If you weren’t here today, I wouldn’t know what to
Selina’s eyes flashed with sadness. She said, “It’s okay, Susie. I made the decision for you so I should take responsibility.”
