Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 120

The onlookers started discussing heatedly.

"How could you do such a thing? A manicure like yours costs more than two hundred dollars!"

"Since you chose to adopt a child, you should've been responsible for her. The Lind family is rich, yet you gave your adopted daughter so little. Shame on you."

All the color drained from Fiona's face.

Little did these people know that the Lind family was actually poor—something Fiona would never dare to admit.

After a while, Fiona said weakly, "We were worried we'd hurt our biological daughter. If Jocelyn saw that we treated her adopted sister better, she would've accused us of being unfair. And Janet, even if we didn't give you that much money, you shouldn't have forced us to give you more. We adopted you and you should be grateful!"

Janet set her glass on the table. Her eyes flashed with sheer rage. Even now, Fiona chose to lie through her teeth.

"The money wasn't for me. I just wanted to save Hannah's life. I didn't force you to give me more. You were the one who promised me that you'd give me the money if I married Ethan instead of Jocelyn. But even after that, you kept refusing to pay me. I was just asking for what was rightfully mine."

The audience burst into an uproar. Everyone began to criticize Fiona harshly.

"How dare she!"

"So, she adopted a child but left her in the countryside and didn't give her any money. Such a criminal should be sued!"
