Chapter 97 Too Much to Ask for a Few Clothes
Viola looked at the others in the store. "Everyone, please. My sister married into a wealthy family, living in a grand flat in Bay Hall. Now, as her sister and this is her mother, is it too much to ask for a few clothes?"
As her voice fell, the wealthy women around began whispering again.
"Bay Hall! It's more valuable than a villa!"
"Yeah, one grand flat in Bay Hall is worth three or four suburban villas!"
"So, it's not that she doesn't have money, but she's pretending to be poor and doesn't want to buy for her family!"
Seeing the public opinion leaning towards Adeline, Viola proudly walked up to her.
"Sis, see, everyone disagrees with you! I don't believe that Uncle Curtis didn't give you any money! Hurry up and pay the bill. Don't make a fool of yourself here."
Edith also joined in, "Yes, I raised you. Is it too much for you to buy some clothes to honor your own mother?
"It's almost New Year, and you haven't bought me any clothes all year round. Oh my... What a failure as a mother I am!"
As she spoke, Edith's voice was choked up.
"Others also have daughters! My daughter got married, didn't give a penny to her natal family, and even smashed the antiques of her natal family! How unfortunate I am!"
Edith wiped the corner of her eyes that had no tears. "As a mother... I just want a few clothes now, and I can't even get them! You guys, what kind of teacher is she? Is there such a teacher?
"Shouldn't teachers educate students to respect their parents?"
Olivia knew that Adeline was "borrowing" a place to live at Uncle Curtis' house. Hearing the mother and daughter, she was so angry!
"You... are too shameless! The house belongs to Uncle Curtis. My sister-in-law is just staying there. It's none of your business!
"Moreover, you guys are so brazen to ask my sister-in-law for clothes! You guys have no shame. You conspired against her, forcing her to have to live at Uncle Curtis'. Do you have a conscience?
"Respect! Respect my ass! If it were me, I would have killed you guys long ago and made it to the headlines!
"You even ask Uncle Curtis to buy clothes for people like you. Go look at yourselves in the mirror!"
This amount of information was too much, leaving Rebecca, Edith, and Viola stunned.
Rebecca heard that Adeline was "borrowing" a place to live at Curtis' house, and her entire face turned black.
While Edith and Viola felt even more confused.
What did she mean by borrowing?
Did it mean that Adeline wasn't actually married to Curtis?
More and more wealthy women changed their views of Edith and Viola.
Viola and Edith couldn't help but glare at Adeline.
"Sis- Are you satisfied now?"
"Yeah, you've made everyone lose face!" Edith rolled her eyes.
Adeline still smiled faintly, sipped her coffee casually and stood up.
"It's you guys who are losing face! Not me.
"Let's talk about being unreasonable. Asking if I am excessive for not buying you these clothes? Not at all.
"I know exactly how much I earn in a month. With a monthly income of merely more than 1,000, there's no need for me to buy luxury goods for my sister and mother.
"Furthermore, about respect. Mum, I have bought new clothes for you. I remember when I got my first month's salary from work, I bought gifts for everyone in the family.
"I gave you a new outfit, but the next day, I saw it in the trash bin. Since then, I have never bought you clothes again. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"If you insist on discussing respect, fine, let's go to the shopping street downstairs. I can afford the clothes there, and as a daughter, I can buy them for you.
"As for losing face, it's your own loss, not mine. I made it clear from the beginning that I can't afford to consume here with my salary.
"Yet you guys greedily demand, under the banner of being a sister and daughter, that I purchase luxury items for you, which is unreasonable.
"If I willingly buy, it's because I want to, it's because I respect; but if you force me to buy, it's moral kidnapping!
"Even if my man is rich, it's his business, it's not something I can squander at will!"
As her voice fell, Ella walked out and applauded loudly.
"Well said!"
