On the balcony, Claire hugged Elaine tightly and cried, "Mom, please forgive dad, he is in a black mood right now. Give him some time, he will okay after this. Please, come down, will you?" 5
Elaine climbed on the window and cried loudly, "Girl, don’t stop me, tonight will be the night I die! From now on, during the holidays, don't forget to burn some money for me, don’t be like Charlie who doesn't do so t o his dead parents! His parents were so broke down there they had to come to him in his dream to remind him about it..." i
Charlie’s face turned into an irritating shade of green when he heard it! 1
Elaine oh Elaine, you bloody woman, you still remembered the one hundred million dollar cheque that I received from Jasmine and accidentally gave you, it was so close! 2
Luckily you didn't buy it and came back to pick a fight with me. If you managed to cash the one million dollar cheque, I bet you would be so pompous that you thought you were a goddess! 3
This incident indicated that you didn’t have the luck t o be rich. 1
Hence, he quietly glimpsed at Jacob and whispered, '0 h, my dear father-in-law, please make up your mind
this time and divorce the ruthless b*tch already! I have all the money in the world to financially support you after the divorce, which is enough for you to live a comfortable life. Maybe you can meet a nice lady and start a new relationship!' 5
On the other hand, Claire was extremely devastated and cried, "Mom, why can't you talk it through? Why must you kill yourself for something like this? So what if you really divorce dad? Life goes on! Mom, come on!” 1
Elaine wailed loudly, "I dated your dad when I was still a naive young girl and was pregnant out of wedlock. Back then, all the people insulted and criticized me behind my back, but I stayed strong, I was neither mad nor whining, all I thought of was to marry your dad and live a good life. But who would have thought that after so many years of suffering and agony, your dad would divorce me...” s
Then she screamed loudly, "What’s the point of staying alive then?! Just let me die!" 1
Her ear-piercing roar echoed the apartment block that it was impossible for anyone to not hear it. 3
Shortly afterward, someone downstairs yelled, "Sister, don’t be so stupid, nothing is more important than being alive!" 2
