Chapter 436 See What You Are Doing With Him
Reina clenched her hands, which hung by her side, and answered Vincent's question in silence.
Vincent had always led a charmed and comfortable life, so naturally, he hated women who wrecked others' homes to make a fortune.
Vincent frowned and said, "Reina, you're living with your mother. How can you let her wreck other people's homes?"
Reina tilted her head and replied, "Well, she is my mother, but I can't stop her from doing what she likes."
In fact, Reina tried to pull Lacey back onto the right path. Reina had even gotten a job for Lacey in a factory.
However, Lacey was not pleased. She worked by fits and starts and lacked continuity in the endeavor. Worse still, she fooled around with a group leader who also worked there. When their relationship was discovered by the chiefs, Lacey got fired at once.
Later, when Reina found Lacey another job, Lacey turned her down and stayed at home all day long.
After all, Lacey was her mother, so she couldn't beat Lacey. They always quarreled. Finally, Reina got downhearted, so she ceased to worry about her mother.
However, after so much time had passed, Lacey became more vicious than
ever.
Lacey added some drugs into her soup before. Now, she was in such big trouble because of Lacey.
Vincent said, "She is your mother. People will listen to their children when they're getting old. You should talk to her and spend more time with her. Moreover, find her a decent job. Everything will be fine."
Inevitably, there was a hint of reprimand and persuasion in his voice.
Reina knew that he meant well.
However, hearing that, she felt even more weighed down.
Vincent didn't know what she had suffered, but he asked her to be as "upright" as him.
Reina looked away from Vincent and took out her phone. She said to the middle-aged woman, "I'll call her now and ask her for the address. Go find her yourself."
Reina really didn't want to get involved in anything related to Lacey.
When Reina dialed Lacey's number, she could only hear the cold
mechanical voice, reminding her over and over again that Lacey had turned off her phone.
Reina called twice, but no one answered, so she gave up.
"She didn't answer."
The woman sneered, "Really? Did you collude with her to fool me around?
"You are her daughter. Since she didn't pick it up, then you have to give me the money she took from my husband!"
Reina looked indifferently, but her eyes were unusually clear and steady. "She is the one who cheated you out of our money, but I didn't spend even a single cent. If you want to get your money back, please find her yourself."
The woman yelled angrily, "Why should I trust you? Maybe she raised you with the money she stole from other women's husbands!
"She brought you up all these years with that dirty money, but you are not willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for her, are you?"
Reina remained unmoved and said again, "I didn't spend even a single cent,
and I wouldn't repay the money for her."
When Reina's father was still alive, it was the Harward family who
supported her.
Later, when the Harward family declined, Lacey directly ran away and even took away the little bit of money Reina's father had on him.
Since Reina could remember, Lacey had never been nice to her even after
everything that she had done for Reina.
Since Lacey gave birth to her, she was forever in Lacey's debt. That was
why Reina always supported Lacey.
But now Reina didn't want to support her anymore.
Lacey totally let her down.
If Lacey wanted Reina's life, she could just return it to her.
But Reina would never take responsibility for Lacey's mistakes again.
The middle-aged woman didn't believe Reina at all. "You said you never spent her money. What nonsense! You just don't want to pay me the money,
right?
"Look at the fancy clothes on you. If you didn't buy them with your mother's money, where did you get them?"
The clothes that Reina was wearing today were stuffed into her wardrobe by Jaylon two days ago.
When she saw the person who came out of Lacey's room this morning, she was all twisted up inside. So she randomly put on a suit and went out. Only now did she remember that what she wore was bought by Jaylon.
Just the top was equivalent to her three months' wages.
