Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 852

Coming out of the notary office, Elaine clutched the letter of disownment tightly in her hands. She felt as if the weight she had been carrying all those years was finally lifted off her shoulders.

Never did she expect that she would have made this huge decision.

Half an hour ago, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob had no choice but to sign the letter of disownment. Therefore, she brought them to the notary office.

They were not the only ones who came. Bob and the others also tagged along.

After waiting for a while, Bob was getting impatient. When he saw the Jacob Family coming out, he threw away the cigarette in his hand and immediately went over. "Hey, I've been waiting for you since forever. If you're not gonna pay me back today, we won't settle for nothing!"

Immediately pushing Elaine towards him, Mr. Jacob exclaimed, "She told you she would pay. Settle it with her!"

In a good mood, she answered, "Yeah, I won't break my promise. I'm paying."

As she spoke, she took out a mini handbag that she brought from their house.

Not knowing what she was thinking, her parents queried in suspicion, "Why did you bring this bag? Isn't it empty inside?"

Before this, they had already rummaged through the bag, but there was nothing worthy in it.

Ignoring them, Elaine reached out her hand to Bob, "Do you have a knife? I need one."

Fishing out his pocket knife, Bob handed it to Elaine. She then cut open the interior part of the bag and pulled out a card.

It was a credit card.

Mr. and Mrs. Jacob had never expected Elaine to play tricks on them like that!

The credit card was in the house all along, but they never noticed.

Grinning wide, Bob reached out his hand, "Very well, Miss Jacob..."

Tossing the card at him, Bob caught it with his quick reflex. "Erm, what's your pin number? I'll ask my men to go to the bank nearby to make sure it's legit."

"Pin number's one to six," Elaine replied frankly.

"That's it?"

"Go ahead and check for yourselves if you don't believe me." "Okay, okay. I'll get someone to check it out right now."

After handing the card to one of his men, the man immediately left for the bank.

Mr. Jacob was full of doubts. "Elaine, where did this money come from? Since when did you have so much money?"

300,000 wasn't a small amount. Besides, she would transfer her pay to the family every month, so it was impossible for her to save so much money.

When Mr. Jacob was done talking, Mrs. Jacob chided in suspicion, "Yeah. Why didn't you tell us when you had so much money?"

Raising her brows, she rebutted, "This is my money. Why are you surprised that I kept it from you guys?"

Unhappy, Mrs. Jacob's face puckered. Walking over towards Elaine, Zoe sneered, "300,000 is a lot of money to us, but to the rich, it's only a day's expenses. The money obviously came from that rich guy she's attached to!"

"Did the money really come from that man?" Mrs. Jacob flew into a rage when she heard that. "Are you not ashamed? Did you trade your body for the money?"

"Does it have anything to do with you now?" Elaine snickered.

With that, she waved the document in her hands and reminded, "We've broken ties, remember? We're no longer family. From now on, I have nothing to do with you guys."

"You merciless woman!"

Consumed with rage, Mrs. Jacob raised her hand and was about to slap Elaine on the face.

For so many years, Elaine had always been under her control. Now that she had suddenly been bitten back by her daughter, she was unwilling to accept it.

However, before her palm fell, she was shoved aside by a hard push.

Immediately, she cried out in pain and dropped to the ground.

"Are you done?" Vincent came over to her side and pulled her into his arms. "If you've had enough, let's go back now."

Looking at Vincent who appeared without warning, Mrs. Jacob was furious.

He didn't spare anyone at the scene a glance before dragging Elaine away.

Without saying a word, Elaine got into the car with him.

"Hold up!" Zoe suddenly ran over, blocking their path.
