She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 306

Because Cora was his biological sister, Herbert couldn't actually call the cops and have her arrested.

But...

"Cora, from this moment on, you will not see another cent from me!" With that final verdict, Herbert stood up and stormed out of the estate, entirely forgetting that Sylvie and Miles were still there.

Cora's face drained of color. "Herbert! Herbert!"

Sylvie sat frozen in her seat, watching Herbert's retreating figure. She opened her mouth to call out to him, but the words died in her throat.

How did things spiral out of control like this?

She was supposed to be the victim tonight. But somehow, Hulda ended up looking like the ultimate martyr.

In the car, Victor glanced at Herbert through the rearview mirror.

Herbert’s face was expressionless, seemingly as calm as ever.

But having worked for him for years, Victor knew that beneath that stoic exterior, a violent storm was raging.

Victor gripped the steering wheel tighter, carefully trying to apologize. "Mr. Jewell... I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have..."

"Enough. Don't say another word." Herbert didn't want to listen, and he definitely didn't want to talk.

The atmosphere in the car instantly became suffocating.

Victor wisely shut his mouth, though he was still reeling from the shock.

He couldn't believe Cora would do something so malicious, siphoning off so much of Hulda's money.

With only a few thousand a month, how was Hulda supposed to manage the expenses of that massive villa? That amount wouldn't even cover the lifestyle of a lowly driver like Victor in a city like Aldercy.

Not to mention, Mr. Jewell and the young master had highly particular tastes...

The more Victor thought about it, the more his chest tightened with panic.

At the end of the day, he was the root of this mess. If he hadn't been lazy—if he had just sent the money to their individual accounts from the start—none of this would have happened.
