Your Family’s So Rich!
Helen’s eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out of her sockets. “10 million? Didn’t you guys lose
the 10 million to some scammer?”
Chloe let out a loud cry the moment she heard what Helen said. “It was you! It was you, after all! You
were the one who gave him the money! Return my son to me unscathed, Helen!”
“Calm down, Chloe!” Helen cried. “Explain yourself, Minerva! Didn’t you say that your boyfriend
scammed you and took the 10 million away? W-Were you lying to me? Did you not give him the money
at all?”
Minerva lowered her head once more. “I didn’t lie to you, Aunt Helen. H-He took 7 million from me! I
had 3 million left, and I figured that 3 million wouldn’t be of much help to your pharmacy, so… I didn’t
return the money to you.”
Helen was dumbfounded. She had never expected her own niece to do such a thing to her. She had lost
her appetite and had trouble sleeping for days over this 10 million. In fact, she had been so worried and
frustrated that she nearly pulled out her hair. However, it turned out that Helen’s niece had secretly kept
3 million to herself.
“How could you do such a thing, Minerva? Do you have any idea how much I was panicking over this 10
million in the past few days? Why didn’t you tell me that you still had 3 million with you? How could a
young girl like you do such a thing?” Helen uttered in a shaky tone.
Minerva had a defiant look on her face as she responded to Helen. “What’s the purpose of me giving you
this 3 million, Aunt Helen? You’re missing 10 million, not 3 million. Since you wouldn’t be able to do much
with 3 million, I figured that I’d keep it for Tate and I. Your family’s so rich, anyway. Do you even care
about this 3 million?”
At that point, Helen felt like she was about to lose her mind. “The 3 million isn’t the issue here! This is
about your principles! It’s about your morality, and it’s about knowing your limits as an individual!” Helen
howled.
Minerva raised her voice as she was losing her temper as well. “Don’t you start talking about morals and
principles with me, Aunt Helen! What sort of morals and principles do you have? You lied to your
husband too—would you call yourself a good person then? We lied to you, and you lied to your husband.
We’re the same sort of person, so you can’t criticize me for this!”
Helen’s limbs were trembling out of fury. “You… How could you say such a thing, young woman? Have I
not treated you well? Ever since you came back here… I… When have I ever wronged you?”
The younger woman sneered. “Hah! You sure can talk! Have you ever treated me well? Why don’t I put it
this way: my mother gave you half of her salary in the past so that you could take care of your children.
But what about you guys? How are you treating us now? You guys are eating luxurious food, driving
expensive cars, and living in huge mansions. Have you ever considered the sort of lives we are leading
now? We gave you half of our family’s income, but would you be willing to give us half of your
inheritance? We were even chased out of your house after staying there for a few days. How dare you
say that you’ve never wronged us?”
Tears of anger formed in Helen’s eyes. “Minerva, y-you’re ignoring your conscience when you utter such
words! You guys were indeed chased out of the house, but was that really my fault? I would’ve loved for
you guys to stay with me if you guys hadn’t done those things. Do you know why you guys were chased
out? Do you remember how Tate provoked the Harrisons? Do you remember how you and the Lach
Family nearly ruined all of our lives?”
Minerva waved a hand in front of Helen’s face. “Stop talking about the past! How should we deal with
Tate’s matter now? You were the one who paid for his Harley bike. You should take full responsibility for
this!”
Anxiety welled up in Helen’s chest. “H-How has this got anything to do with me? You guys… You lied to
me about the money and used it to buy a bike, and you’re now expecting me to bear the
responsibilities?!”
