I don’t know what kind of love potion William gave Jennifer to make her willing to pick up such trash.
But the two of them, one greedy and arrogant, the other stupid as a pig, are indeed a perfect match.
I snorted coldly, not planning to go easy on them, and retorted directly: “Left and right, you keep calling me a country bumpkin, saying my ancestors would be overjoyed. What high–class goods are you yourself?”
“It’s the 21st century, and you still look down on rural people, thinking your so–called city person identity is superior. Did evolution forget to notify you?”
“For ten years of our relationship, you’ve been living off this rural person you look down upon. Even the money for your graduate studies was provided by my work. What right do you have to bark at me?”
“And you, Jennifer, if you love picking up garbage so much, why don’t you go date a dumpster? After all this careful selection, this is the best you could choose? No wonder every contract you sign fails. I bet even a pig could sign contracts more successfully than you.”
The two seemed to be stunned by my momentum, their faces alternating between red and purple, unable to come up with a retort for a long
time.
Just when I thought they couldn’t r make any more waves and was about to leave, William suddenly blurted out:
“Mia Sullivan, you better watch your karma. Your mom might not make it through this year. I passed by yesterday and saw her. She looked half–dead, probably doesn’t have many days left.”
After dating for so long, I never knew he understood me so well, able to stab me in the heart so precisely.
“But come to think of it, I didn’t expect that even though she’s so sick she probably can’t remember her own name, she still recognized me. She
even called me son–in–law. It’s ridiculous.”
Hearing this, I keenly caught a hint of something amiss. A terrible guess surfaced in my mind: “My mother recognized you? Did you two talk?”
“She’s about to die anyway, so I graciously chatted with her for a bit. Come to think of it, you should thank me. I even helped persuade her that dying early means early release. Now, every day she lives is just a burden on you. I don’t know if she took it to heart or not.”
I stood there in shock, unable to believe there could be someone so malicious in this world.
To use my money, he even went as far as to persuade my mother to seek death.
So my mother’s condition didn’t suddenly worsen; it was because of his words that she lost the will to live, and that’s why she couldn’t be
saved.
If I was just angry before, now I wished I had a knife in my hand to stab this scumbag and his cheap woman to death, to let them accompany my mother.
But before I could rush forward, my body could no longer bear the fatigue of several consecutive days and the successive blows. My vision went black, and I completely fainted.
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital bed, with a nurse busy giving me an IV.
There was also someone sitting in the corner, but the light was dim, and I couldn’t see clearly who it was.
Seeing that I was awake, the nurse’s tone was excited:
“Mia, you don’t know, when those two people saw the situation wasn’t right, they ran away without hesitation. It was the gentleman who helped you get admitted to the hospital.”
“Before, those two would come to the hospital from time to time to see their family members. After you beat them when they were down last time, they never appeared again. I guess they were too embarrassed.”
“Those two looked decent, but who knew their character was so bad.”
“Now the whole inpatient department is talking about your heroic deed! They say if they encounter a similar situation, they want to learn from

“It’s better not to encounter such unlucky things.” I couldn’t help but be amused by her indignant tone.
Seeing that my mood had improved somewhat, the nurse finally put her mind at ease and left the room, leaving only me and the other person in the ward.
At this moment, the man stood up from the corner, and I realized it was Mr. Quinn, the CEO of Quinn Corp, whom I had just met not long ago.
I hurriedly got up to greet him, but was stopped. His first words were: “Your mother raised you well.”
