Chapter 624 Meanwhile, David couldn't believe how effortlessly he had secured four million dollars, and it put him in a great mood.

"Nadine, although you've never called'Dad' or givenany money, I have to commend you this time. Your husband really seems to care about you. I could hear his voice trembling over the phone. It was so obvious.
"Don't worry. Once I get my hands on that four million dollars, I'll let you and your husband reunite." Nadine kept her lips tightly sealed, refusing to engage with him. Her eyes darted around, searching for a way to save herself. Since her phone was on speaker, she had heard every word exchanged between Brad and David. Jennifer, pleased that her son-in-law could cup with such a large sum of money, was grinning from ear to ear. She even walked over to Nadine, assuming the role of a mother, offering what she thought was wisdom. "Nadine, I'm not attempting to criticize you, but doesn't this man treat you well? Why are you pushing for a divorce? It's one thing for you to act up occasionally, but if you take it too far, it could end up backfiring. A small spat can spice things up. Go overboard, and it'll only hurt you. You should be careful not to overdo it." Jennifer was practically glowing at the thought. Four million dollars in cash! Brad had offered it without a moment's hesitation.
Most people would never earn that much in their lifetime, yet she was about to have it in her hands. The mere thought of it had her giddy with joy. Although she hadn't yet received the money, she was already fantasizing about how she would spend it.
Nadine had long been thoroughly disappointed in Jennifer and didn't even spare her a glance. She thought Jennifer was such an eyesore that she turned away, directing her gaze elsewhere.

He's your husband. His money is yours! You're a married couple, so there's no need to keep your finances separate. It's only natural for a man to spend money on his wife.
"Next time, when I cto you for money again, don't forget to get a little extra from Brad. He's practically a walking ATM. You should use him more!" At last, Nadine couldn't take it anymore. She shot Jennifer a scathing look, her eyes filled with contempt. "So you wantto live like you? Relying on a man for everything what have you gotten out of it? So what if Brad and I are married? We're about to get a divorce. In life, the only person you can rely on is yourself. Relying on others is a losing game.
"Jook at you and David-how long have you two been married? What have you truly gained from relying on him? He can't even pay for his own son's wedding and expects you to figure it out! Don't you think that's pathetic?"
Jennifer was stumped. "I'm just looking out for you, yo brat! Just wait, youngrateful about to lose everything!" Nadine shot her a cold look and
retorted sharply, "I don't know if I'll lose everything I have, but I know m you've given yourself entirely to David You're nothing but a shell of a person, a mere puppet. How is that any different from being a walking dead?"
That hit Jennifer hard. Furious, she raised her hand to slap Nadine m across the face. "You little bitch!" "But before her hand could make contact, someone grabbed her wrist mid-air, stopping her cold.
