Chapter 122 Why Should I Support You!

It was then that Adeline remembered she hadn't given Edith her monthly contribution for this month yet. When Adeline had just started working, she had bought gifts for her family.

At that time, Edith said that gifts weren't necessary anymore, and since Adeline had grown up, she should contribute to the household expenses every month.

It sounded simple enough. But at the time, Adeline's salary was only five hundred bucks, and Edith took two hundred for herself.

However, since contributing to the household was reasonable, Adeline didn't argue.

Sitting down, Adeline was about to pick up her phone to transfer the money when she suddenly put it down again. "Mom, you're here just in time. I have something to ask you."

"What? Don't bother with anything else for now, just transfer the money! Two thousand!" Edith got angry when she saw Adeline put down her phone.

"Two thousand?" Adeline frowned in confusion as she looked at Edith.

"That's right! Before you got involved with Mr. Riley, it was two hundred for the monthly expenses. Now, you're rolling in money, so giving two thousand a month isn't too much, right? What's the matter? You've become Mr. Riley's mistress, so now you can't even bear to give your mom money, huh?"

Adeline furrowed her brows as she didn't understand why Edith suddenly referred her as Curtis's mistress, but she didn't feel like correcting Edith. She went straight to the point.

"Yes, to be honest, since I'm with Mr. Riley, he even provides his bank card for me. So, I can afford to give you two thousand a month. But Mom, there's something I need to ask you. Did you give my medical examination report to Victoria?"

Edith's expression showed a hint of embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Yes, I did give it to Logan's mother. So what?"

Looking at Edith's unapologetic and guilt-free demeanor, Adeline felt utterly disappointed and heartbroken.

"Why? From my childhood until now, when have I ever disobeyed you?"

"From when I was little until now, I worked so hard. After graduating and getting a job, I still tried my best to be a good daughter and show filial respect to you."

"So, why are you treating me like this? Don't you know what consequences I would face by giving my medical examination report to my almost mother-in-law?"

Facing Adeline's tearful and flushed eyes, Edith didn't dare to meet her gaze directly. She looked away and awkwardly avoided it.

"Well... that's the truth! It's better than you getting married and not being able to have kids, ending up divorced! Why not give the chance to Viola? Let Viola bear children for the Riley family. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Viola? Viola again! I don't understand. What have I done wrong compared to Viola? I've worked so hard since I was young, she's not competent at anything, and she even had to rely on connections to get a college diploma! Why? Why have I worked so hard, but you've never looked at me with any respect?"

Getting more and more emotional, Adeline stood up, "When you were planning my life, didn't you think about what would happen if I lost my engagement and my almost mother-in-law rejected me?"

Edith sneered, "What's so great about Viola? She's so much better than you! Right after she was born, a big order came in for our family. She was born to be fortunate! You, on the other hand, are cursed by fate! Everything goes wrong for you, you're always unlucky, and you even bring trouble to the family. And you have the nerve to ask why! Besides, how about you now? Aren't you doing fine now? Aren't you capable now? You've become Mr. Riley's mistress. Weren't you pretty arrogant in front of us before?"

With a bitter smile, Adeline said, "Oh? So it's okay for your daughter to be someone's mistress?"

Edith didn't pay attention to Adeline's question. She pointed to her phone, "You little brat, after saying so much, are you trying to avoid giving me the money?"

"Yes!" Adeline said firmly, "Not just this month, I won't give you money anymore. Not next month, or any other month after. I'll keep the money for myself, for my own expenses. Isn't that nice? Why should I give money to someone who's been stabbing me in the heart?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"That's something you should do! As a child, contributing to the family is only right," Edith slammed her hand on the table.

"Has Viola given you money then? Is she not your daughter anymore?" Adeline sneered, "What a righteous principle! Let me ask you, have you fulfilled your duty as a mother? No, you haven't! So why are you forcing me to fulfil my duty as a child?"

Edith's anger distorted her face, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Fine, Adeline Burton, now that you're getting all high and mighty, you don't want to support your parents, huh? Well, I'd like to see if you dare to be so arrogant in front of me once you lose Mr.

Riley's backing!"

Adeline furrowed her brows, "What do you mean?"

Edith looked at the adjacent private room's wall and asked, "Is everything recorded?"

As she spoke, Victoria and Olivia pushed open the door connecting the two private rooms and walked out.
