The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 172

Children hate being used for comparison, and at their age, Amy and her brother were especially prone to provocation.

So, the two of them used their youth as an excuse to unleash their malice.

"Get lost! You're blocking the TV!"

The tension inside Jacob's head stretched to its breaking point.

At that moment, only one thought remained: he had to find that money.

"I asked you, did one of you go through my things?"

Before Amy and her brother could answer, the Carter family's matriarch came out.

Seeing Jacob, red-faced and yelling at her grandchildren, the old woman was instantly displeased.

"What are you shouting about?"

"You think you’re a big shot now, daring to talk back to us like that?"

Seeing her reaction, something clicked in Jacob's mind. He asked if she had taken his money.

The old woman didn't even try to hide it. 'So what if I took it? You’re living under my roof and eating my food for free. I’m just charging you for room and board!"

As she spoke, she sized Jacob up with a look of utter disdain. "I didn't expect you to be right. Just getting into a university can earn you this much money. Kid, the Carter family has been good to you. Don't you dare forget us when you make it big."

The thread of sanity in Jacob's mind snapped.

It broke completely.
