NovelEnglish"Can you believe this mess? It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you,and your brother wouldn't be in hot water
with Murray!"
Seeing no more benefits coming her way, Maisie dropped the act of a caring mother.
Farley exclaimed, "Murray's got a wicked punch, why didn't you warn us? Mom and | nearly got killed today. Are
you trying to off us so you can hog the three million for yourself?"
Millie quickly defended herself, "I didn't! Why would | ever want to harm you? | had no idea he could be so
ruthless!"
Maisie scoffed, "You've been hanging around Murray long enough. How could you not know what kind of man he
is?"
Farley chimed in, "Exactly! These injuries are gonna cost a fortune. Now that Murray's cut us off, you owebig
time!"
"Don't play poor with me. Murray mentioned he gave you three million!"
Maisie was fuming at the thought. Despite having money, Millie had kept it hidden, all to make them take the
risks while she reaped the rewards.

Millie's eyes flickered, her lips tightening, "I don't have much onright now... | can only give you twenty
thousand for now..."
"Bullshit! You think | don't know you're holding out on us? Where's the card? Here? Or here?"
Maisie knew her daughter all too well, certain she was stashing money away.
Ignoring Millie's cries, Maisie began to search everywhere.
Millie, desperate to protect her remaining savings, tried to get out of bed, but Farley blocked her.
"Stay put! Do you know how much Mom and | have done for you this month? We nearly got run over by a car. It's
only right you pay us for our troubles!" After ransacking the desk and cabinets, Maisie finally found a bank card
in a backpack.
"Farley! Look!"
Farley's eyes gleamed with greed.
"That's my money! Give it back!" Millie tried to get out of bed, panicking. That card contained all her savings.
Originally three million, she'd spent some, leaving just over a million.
If they took it, she'd be left with nothing.
Farley shoved her, "So, you were hiding money after all. Didn't expect you to be so sneaky!"
Maisie snapped, "Farley, quit the

She chased after them, her eyes a despair, crying out, "Take
filled
the money, but please, don't leavebehind... Mom..."
But Maisie didn't look back.
Millie collapsed in the hallway, crying her eyes out.
In that moment, she felt abandoned by the whole world.
Learning that Maisie had left Lumina City with Farley, taking all of Millie's money, Murray smiled with satisfaction.
He called the hospital, "Freeze the account, stop all expenses."
"What about Ms. Millie's hospital bills?"
"Did | stutter? Freeze everything. As for her, let the hospital handle it."
So that afternoon-
"Ms. Millie, you've recovered well enough to be discharged."
"I'm not leaving. I'm waiting for him." Millie sat on the bed, her eyes empty, like a lifeless doll.
"If you wish to stay longer, then please proceed to the first floor to make a payment. Here's the bill..."
