Elaine completely forgot about her money when she was immersed by the scene of the people wailing and crying.
When the thought struck her mind, she turned to Charlie and yelled, "Hurry, ask them to return the money to me! They won more than two million dollars from me!"
Charlie asked them to donate their money to Hope Foundation for two reasons, one was to punish them and the other was to teach his mother-in-law a lesson.
You were always so greedy and dissatisfied with your current situation, weren’t you? 1
You were addicted to gambling, weren't you?
You thought that you could make a fortune and be rich by playing mahjong, didn't you?
Well, I let you lose all your money so that this experience would stick in your mind!
Charlie looked at the women on the floor and asked, already knowing what their answer would be, "Hey, about the money you won from my mother-in-law-quickly discuss how you’re going to repay her!"
They exchanged befuddled glances and cried, "We've donated all our money to the foundation, including her money...”
Charlie turned to Elaine and shrugged indifferently, " Sorry, Mom, they don't have the money.”
"What?!” Elaine gaped in horror and then screamed in great dismay. She barged forward, grabbed Hannah's hair with one hand and Linda's hair with the other, and shook their heads violently. She even bumped their heads together like two bowling balls. 5
She screamed and cursed hysterically, "Argh, batches! Give me back my money! Give it back to me!!!” 2
A lot of their hair was torn off their scalps from the shaking and tugging. Their painful wails echoed through the house. Hannah cried out aggrievedly," Elaine, please let go, Elaine, please! Your money has gone mostly to Linda, I only won a little from you and I donated it all..." 2
Elaine let go of Hannah and grabbed Linda's hair with both hands. Then, she released one hand to slap and scratch her face until it was covered in blood and was swelling badly. 1
"Linda Howard, you'd better return the money to me today or I'll scratch your skin off your face! Argh, d*m n you! I'll ruin your face!” 2
