Darryl smiled but stayed silent. He was used to Samantha's scoldings.
Seeing how he ignored her, Samantha was even angrier. "How dare you laugh so shamelessly? I shouldn't have let you marry my daughter! Look at the other sons-in-law; they are successful and wealthy. How about you? If you could earn at least ten thousand a month, I would not have had to sell the mansion!" 1
Lily bit her lip. "Mother, stop." She tried to defend Darryl. 1
Samantha turned to Lily. "Lily, what is with you? Why do you love him so much? I don't care, you will divorce him tomorrow.” 3
It was because of him that she was in this situation now.
Everyone looked at Darryl and shook their heads. They had all heard how Samantha had a useless son-i n-law.
Lily kept gnawing on her lip. She tried to change the subject. "Mother, how could you trust these financial schemes?"
To get five hundred back within seven days with a mere ten thousand investment-it was clearly a scam.
Darryl sighed. According to Samantha's explanation, this corporation sounded like a scam. Also, they definitely had huge support from someone influential. Otherwise, they would not have so boldly scammed people out of their hard-earn money.
Eleanor stood up, muttering in despair, "I think it will b e hard to get our money back. I just found out that the president, Cyrus Carney, is from a crime syndicate. Why else would he dare to hit us with his car?"
Everyone was disappointed. How could they stand up t o someone like Cyrus?
