A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Just stop what you are doing!" With an impatient grunt, Mandy dragged Julia to a seat. "I have something to tell you."

Although the room was much cleaner after she tidied up, Julia was still unsatisfied.

During the three years that Jean had been abroad, Julia was the one taking care of Mandy. She also knew that Mandy favored Jean. But no matter what she thought, this woman was still her mother.

"What's wrong?" Julia asked, a relaxed expression on her face. She didn't know what her mother was going to say. She even began to think of what Mandy might need and decided to send Abby to buy them for Mandy.

"Julia, you are an adult now, so I won't beat around the bush. It was not easy for me to raise you. You—"

But before Mandy could finish her sentence, Julia interrupted her and asked, "Do you need money again? How much do you want this time?"

Julia grimaced at her mother. She didn't think it was good for Mandy to be living like this. She had tried to persuade her so many times, but the woman did not listen to her. Fortunately, Julia was always able to provide the amount of money that Mandy wanted.

Julia went to get her purse as she continued, "Mom, I know that you have been very unhappy since Dad's death, but you can't delude yourself by gambling. You are still young. If you want to live with someone else, I won't stop you from doing so. But you can't always gamble."

Julia retrieved a bank card from her bag. "There is fifty thousand in this card. But please, don't gamble anymore."

At an ordinary day, Mandy would have taken the card immediately. But this time, she did not move. Instead, she looked at Julia with an indifferent expression on her face.
