NovelEnglishTears streamed down Juliet's cheeks as she spoke, her voice trembling with emotion. "After carrying you for nine
months, | should give birth to a monster like you. It's my karma!" she cried.
Her words echoed through the room, "Look at the house you live in, the clothes you wear, the car you drive, all
leeched off of me! Yet you're still unsatisfied. How dare you want five million, you damned ingrate? You'll get
what's coming to you, sooner or later!"
In recent days, Ariel had subjected her to a life of indignity. She was relegated to sleeping on the couch, huddled
under a tattered blanket. Her meals were served on a dish set aside solely for her, and she was not permitted to
join the family at the table until they had finished eating. Juliet could bear all that, but what truly chilled her
heart was the sight of her own son treating her with such disdain. Her grandson, too, was equally cold and
indifferent, taking his father's cruel behavior as the norm. She found herself questioning what kind of thankless
brood she had raised.
Ariel interrupted her with a bark, "Shut up! Go back to cooking and stop your nagging." Juliet, hunched over and
weary, locked eyes with Ariel and then glanced at Quinn. Her gaze held a trace of resolve. "Ariel, you won't see a
dwhen I'm gone," she declared.
Ariel's face paled at her words, and Quinn abruptly stood up. "What the hell are you talking about?" Ariel
demanded. "I've lived enough already," Juliet replied, her voice steady. "If you dare to ask Quinn for money
again, | swear I'll end my life right at your doorstep. That's going to ruin your son's wedding. If | die, you're
nothing but a murderer! | wish they'd lock you up!"
A surge of anger washed over Ariel, but he restrained himself from lashing out. It was then that Nicholas stood

Ariel turned, eyeing Nicholas with suspicion. "I'm not the Alexander you're talking about. My nis Nicholas,
your mother's attorney. The things you just said have all been recorded. These recordings will serve as evidence
of elder abuse and extortion in court."
With that, Nicholas took a recorder out of his pocket.Ariel turned as pale as a ghost at the sight of the device.
Regaining his composure, he glared at Quinn. "You backstabbing dummy! Was this your plan all along?"
Quinn, lips pressed tightly together, stared back defiantly. Things had already escalated to this point. If the
situation remained unresolved, it would only spell more trouble down the line.
"What do you want?" Ariel asked, frustration evident in his voice."
There are two options," Nicholas said. "First, allow us to take your mother with us and you'll sign an agreement
promising never to bother her again. The second is legal action. I've already spoken to your neighbors on this
floor and taken their statements, along with this recording..."
The evidence is conclusive. If we go to trial, you'll have no chance of winning, and you'll face over three years
behind bars."
Ariel, not well-versed in legal matters, was visibly shaken by Nicholas's words. He stood there, speechless. The
prospect of easy money slipped through his fingers. It was almost unbearable. "If | sign the agreement, you
won't taketo court?"

"As long as you stay away from the old lady and don't cause her any trouble, we won't sue. However, this
evidence will be kept. Should you break the agreement, you will receive a summons," Nicholas replied.
A sneer crossed Ariel's face as he stared at Quinn. "Didn't peg you for having it in you, dummy."But in the end,
Ariel relented, his words laced with resentment, "Fine. If you want her that much, take the old bat!"
