Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 465

"My mother demanded I pay off Baron's gambling debts. I refused. After buying my apartment, I only had three thousand dollars left in my account, and I have a monthly mortgage to pay. I simply couldn't help Baron. Besides, I believe Baron is a lost cause, and I will not enable him anymore.

"But my dear mother was determined for me to help her son. She told me to sell my apartment or borrow money from my friends. She even suggested I marry some rich old man.

"Her one and only goal is to squeeze more money out of me to provide a better life for them and for Baron. I am nothing more than their personal cash machine."

Even through the screen, Janina, Maggie, and Melody could feel the depth of Wendy's despair and pain.

Who wouldn't be heartbroken to be treated this way by their own mother?

Unloved by her parents since she was a child, and now as an adult, they were still trying to drag her down into ruin. It was no wonder the once-kind Wendy had become so resolute against them.

The only cruelty she had ever shown in her life was now directed at her parents.

Janina had personally heard the vile things Mrs. Clifford said. As an outsider, she had felt an urge to throttle Wendy's parents. She could only imagine what Wendy herself must have felt.

She must have reached a point of utter despair to be willing to stand in opposition and personally tear off Mrs. Clifford's ugly mask.

Janina quickly started posting supportive comments in the livestream to cheer Wendy on.

Wendy, looking into the camera, knew what this meant. By tearing things apart with her parents now, she would be completely without a family from this day forward.

No relatives.

No parents.

But a family like this, parents like these... she was better off without them.

She would rather be an orphan than back down.

This decision alone was proof enough of how unfairly and cruelly Mrs. Clifford had treated her over the years.

After Wendy finished, the viewers in the livestream were stunned into silence for a long moment.

When they finally recovered from the shock, they unleashed a torrent of vitriol.

As long as the patient followed the doctor's dietary restrictions and took his medication for three courses of treatment, they could be completely cured.

At the time, Mrs. Clifford had gone to see the doctor.

The doctor had prescribed the medication.

He had said Baron couldn't stay up late, couldn't smoke or drink, and had to avoid beef, lamb, and a list of other foods.

If he could stick to the restrictions and take his medicine on time, he could be completely cured within two years.

But Baron was a demon.

While on the treatment, he drank, played cards, stayed up all night, and smoked. He ate beef and lamb without a second thought. He broke every single rule the doctor had set.

Once, she had seen Baron smoking and drinking, and she had immediately snatched the cigarettes and alcohol and thrown them away. But Mrs. Clifford had witnessed the scene.
