Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Go Fishing Together

Fiddling with her fingers, Kate gave Tiffany a contemptuous look. “Tiffany, all this while, I have resented your family background. If you weren’t Oscar’s god-sister, I would never have agreed to you marrying into this family. Instead of making your in-laws proud like the other daughters-in-law of prominent families, you end up causing plenty of trouble for us. Do you think that Derrick isn’t busy enough? And that you must make his life more difficult than it already is?”

Speechless, Tiffany had nothing to defend herself with.

Since Kate had decided that she was guilty, whatever she said would be useless. In fact, she might end up infuriating the former further.

Kate picked up the ashtray on the table and flung it at Tiffany. With a loud bang, the tray hit the latter’s body and covered her in ash before dropping to the ground.

“Are you mute? Why don’t you say something? Are you trying to challenge me, your mother-in-law?” Kate taunted with a glare.

After squirming her lips, a wry smile emerged on Tiffany’s face.

Raising her head, she answered in defiance, “Mom, I paid off the gambling debt with my own money and didn’t trouble Derrick at all. I’m sure I have not crossed the line by helping my own family that way.”

Given how Kate was becoming increasingly intimidating, Tiffany felt that she needed to stand up for herself. Otherwise, she would end up suffering under the former’s thumb.

“Since you’re now married to Derrick, your assets are his assets too. Therefore, how can you squirrel away money to save that disgraceful family of yours?” Kate mocked Tiffany with a curl of her lips.

Infuriated by the slight, Tiffany took a deep breath. “Mom, can you watch what you say?”

Kate retorted, “Did I say anything wrong? Isn’t your family a bunch of beggars waiting for handouts?”

Tiffany gritted her teeth and sneered, “Mom, isn’t it unbecoming of you, a lady of a prominent family, to be calling others names?”

Just because I don’t bare my fangs, she thinks that I’m a pushover.

As her expression drastically changed, Kate rolled her eyes at Tiffany. “It hasn’t been that long ago since you got married, and your family has already caused so many problems by treating the Hissons as a charity organization. Derrick has spent three million alone just to bail them out. Our family might not need the money, but it doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of us, for the Hissons are no fools at all.”

Tiffany took another deep breath. At the end of the day, the fault lay with her family still. Furthermore, Derrick had to take a lot of time off work just to help her clean up the mess.

“Mom, I’ll pay back my brother’s gambling debt to Derrick. Also, I’ve used my own money this time. Since you don’t like me using the family’s money, I’ll definitely not touch any of Derrick’s. Even though I’m not as rich as the Hissons, my pay still allows me to fork out three to four million,” Tiffany compromised.

“After this, I’m sure you’re going to play the victim in front of Derrick, accusing me of making your life difficult again. Isn’t that right?” Kate scoffed.

Due to the extreme proportions that Kate’s bullying had reached, Tiffany’s head throbbed in anger. Having to defend herself from Kate’s attacks every day, she no longer had time to write.

“Mom, what is it that you want?”

Before Kate could say reply, Terrence came down the stairs and cleared his throat on purpose.

Tiffany hurried over and helped him to the couch. She then asked, “Granddad, do you want anything to drink?”

“Just make me a cup of coffee. I have a craving for it.”

Tiffany nodded. “Granddad, please wait a moment. I’ll prepare it for you right away.”

After Tiffany left for the kitchen, Terrence shot Kate a glance, as if to let her know that he had seen through her.

“Are you bullying Tiffany again?” Terrence asked.

Kate replied with a smile, “Dad, of course not. I’m just educating her on how to be a good daughter-in-law in a prominent family. Since no one wants to see her disgrace Derrick, I’m doing this for her own good.”

Terrence nodded.
