Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 258

But she didn't dare quit. Jobs were hard to find these days, so she had to stick with it. And now she had to support a freeloader. She was truly fed up.

Seeing that Marjorie was genuinely angry, Clark finally put down his phone to appease her.

"Don't be mad. I know, I get it. You and your mom have been working hard. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you both in the future."

He was making empty promises again.

Clark's words didn't reassure Marjorie at all; instead, she felt he was just placating her.

Old habits die hard, and Clark was set in his lazy ways.

She was just resentful of all the time she had invested in him.

If she were to give up now, she had to at least get some interest back on her investment.

But if Clark didn't go back to his family, he wouldn't have any money.

And without money, he couldn't compensate her.

At this thought, Marjorie felt that her life was just too hard.

She patiently tried to persuade him again. "Clark, just go back and apologize to your parents. I'm not getting any younger. I can't keep playing around with you."

Clark immediately understood. Marjorie wanted to get married.

He nodded perfunctorily, then changed the subject. "Hey, I've been here for a while, but I haven't seen your dad. Where is he?"

Marjorie was taken aback by the sudden shift in topic.

Her father hadn't been home in over a month. Although she contacted him every day, he refused to come back.

He said that as soon as he came home, he would just end up arguing with her mother, and he couldn't stand living like that anymore.

Her father was insistent on a divorce.

Her mother had gone from opposing it to calmly accepting it.

They had agreed to sign the final divorce papers next month.

She was so stressed out. She didn't know what her parents were thinking, playing these divorce games at their age.

They had been together for decades. Couldn't they just tolerate each other now?

Janina arrived at the cafe as planned. Kenneth was already there.

After they met, they exchanged a few pleasantries before getting straight to the point.

"I found that Jensen Parnell owns three houses and two cars. He also has a mistress on the side. The apartment she lives in is worth around five million," Kenneth said, sending the information he had gathered to Janina.

Janina glanced through it without a word, gesturing for Kenneth to continue.

"Even as a head physician, there's no way he could have this much money. I've been digging for over twenty days and finally found something unusual. Want to guess what it is?"

Kenneth took a sip of his drink, deliberately keeping her in suspense.

Janina was in no mood for guessing games. Her serious expression instantly hardened. She picked up her glass and took a small sip.

"His money isn't clean."

Kenneth nodded. He then took some documents out of his briefcase and handed them to Janina.

"Take a look at this. I looked into the surgeries Jensen has performed over the past few years, and I discovered an unbelievable pattern."
