Yvonne didn't marry Henry for his money. She only married him because she had secretly admired him for many years.
"I think you need it."
Henry's expression turned ugly. No one had ever refused him this directly.
"By the way, I still need to look for my mom. Can you send me there?"
She had been out for so long and didn't even know if her mother would still be waiting in the hospital. Maybe she had gone home already.
"Sure."
Henry turned the car around and sent her directly to her mother's house. Out of courtesy, he also got out of his car and accompanied Yvonne.
Yvonne clutched her bag awkwardly. Although they had been married for so long, this was the first time Henry accompanied her home.
"Are we there yet?"
"Almost! Almost!"
Yvonne increased her pace and blushed, not daring to look at Henry's face.
By the time they arrived, the front door was left ajar. Yvonne pushed open the door. "Mom, are you back?" "What took you so long?! Did you manage to get the money back? Show me!"
Yvonne’s mother came out from the room then reached out for her bag, failing to notice Henry who was following behind Yvonne.
She took out all the money in her daughter’s bag. Her face turned black as soon as she finished counting." Only a few thousand dollars? How are you going to help your younger brother with this little money? I'm really starting to wonder if you even care about him at all!"
"Mom, this is all the money I have in my bank card! How's Jason? Should I go and check on him?”
"What is there to check on?" Her mother rolled her eyes at her. "Your brother didn’t actually crash his car. He's been doing stock trading with a few friends and lost nearly a hundred and fifty thousand dollars due to a stock market crash. Why don’t you ask Henry for the money? You’ve been married to him anyway, so his money is naturally yours!"
"Mom!"
Yvonne paled. She didn't expect her mother to say these things so naturally, she wasn’t able to stop her i n time.
Oh no! Henry must have heard it too!
