His gaze on Marie grew even more serious.

Mona: “Holt, it seems this house just can’t tolerate me. I’ll leave. I’ll just leave.”

“Now that Marie is here, this house doesn’t need me. Let her take over. I’m sure she’ll manage it just fine.”

That phrase, “manage it just fine,” immediately reminded everyone of the chaos that had plagued the Tom family for the past two days.

Manage what?

It wasn’t a question of managing well or poorly; Marie hadn’t managed anything.

Since taking over the household, she hadn’t done a single thing.

And not only that, but the entire Tom family was in an uproar because of her.

Holt’s face darkened at Mona’s words. These last two days had been incredibly uncomfortable for him. He hadn’t eaten well, hadn’t slept well… even the tea he’d drunk for years tasted different.

He was told Marie had changed it, claiming they had to “save money” in this economy.

Marie: “Leaving? Oh, that’s great! A house is for family. Why would there be room for an outsider?”

Mona: “You…”

Holt: “You, shut up!”

Gary, who had been silent, finally exploded. “Marie, don’t go too far!”

“Oh, right. Are you family, or an outsider?”

Gary: “You… what nonsense are you talking? You woman…”

Mona was stomping mad. “Holt!”

Marie: “Oh, by the way… do you happen to have a half–sister or a half–brother… from your mother’s side?”

Mona: “…”

At those words, her pale face froze.

The hand that had been pointing and trembling at Marie a moment ago turned to stone. Her pupils constricted as she stared at Marie.

Her breathing grew ragged, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Marie watched her reaction, raising an eyebrow. “Why are you looking at me like that? Is it true?”

Holt turned to look at Mona.

Gary erupted. “Marie, you bitch! You just won’t be happy until you’ve destroyed this family, will you?”

He grabbed the ashtray and threw it straight at Marie.

Derrick, who was right beside her, moved like lightning. He caught the ashtray mid–air.

With a flick of his wrist, the ashtray slammed back into Gary’s forehead.

Gary grunted in pain, clutching his ringing head, speechless.

Instantly, the house was in chaos again.

Mona pointed at Marie. “You… you are… you are just too much…”

“You just can’t tolerate me? Is it because I’m the one disrupting the peace of this house?” Mona shrieked.

Holt’s head was throbbing.

But Marie wasn’t finished. She ignored Mona’s melodramatic accusation. “He won’t answer. You

answer!”

Mona: “What… what more do you want me to say?”

“All those trips to Hamlin these past two years. Was it to see an illegitimate child over there?”

Hearing this, Holt’s heart leaped into his throat.

Marie huffed. “Don’t blame me for digging. This concerns my husband’s share of the Tom family’s inheritance.”

“Even if the child isn’t Dad’s, your share of Dad’s assets… oh, wait. Dad never married you.”

The atmosphere in the living room grew even heavier.

Mona’s brow twitched violently.

Before she could speak, Maric continued, “But you’d still provide for your illegitimate child! Which means you’re spending Dad’s money on them!”

“And Dad’s money is partly Derrick’s. I’m not letting this go until it’s cleared up!”

No matter how pitiful or wronged Mona tried to look, Marie was relentless.

Mona turned to Holt. “Holt, do something! Is there any place left for me in this house?”

Marie: “Yes, Dad, why don’t you tell us. Have you figured out why she went to Hamlin so many times? Is it all cleared up?”

Mona: “Holt!”

She was furious.

Marie didn’t back down. “Dad!”

Both women were now staring at Holt, neither giving an inch, each demanding he take their side.

Holt was about to lose his mind from the “Holt!” and “Dad!”

“Both of you, stop shouting!”

Marie: “How can we not? Gary is Derrick’s half–brother, so fine, he gets a share.”

“But if some random, unrelated illegitimate child from the outside gets another share, what’s left?”

Holt: “…”
