Chapter 325 Adults Are All Liars

The next day, Gizem received a phone call from Lauren. “What is the meaning of all this?” Lauren was fuming. Gizem set her phone aside and put the call on speaker. “Nothing.” Lauren replied huffily, “I’m out of money.” “So?” Gizem’s tone was ice cold. “I’m not your parent. Am I supposed to give you an allowance?” “Gizem, what’s your problem?” Lauren was upset. “Just because I spent some of your money, you think you can act so high and mighty?

“Don’t spend my money then. Every time you run out of money, you come crawling back to me,” mocked Gizem. “You!” Lauren gritted her teeth. “What the h*ll is wrong with you?” “Lauren, if you ever mess around using my face again, I won’t let you get away with it.” Gizem’s tone was flat. “It’s not your real face anyway. What’s the big fuss?” Lauren sneered. “Anyhow, once you’re done with your mission, your face and name will disappear.” “That might be so, but I am still using them now.

She’s still foolishly toyed by us,” uttered Lauren with contempt.

past five years, everything we have, we owe to her. She’s smart, and she’s useful to us,” reminded Theodore solemnly. Lauren snorted. “We are too hung up on the past. Kathleen knows how to break through to the future. She is the reason we’ve gotten to where we are today,” he praised. “Fine. I’ll bear with her a little longer,” Lauren said icily. “By the way, any news on Nicolette’s whereabouts?” asked Theodore. “No,” Lauren answered. The whole purpose of her trip this time was to look for Nicolette. She also wanted to relax while she was at it. However, Gizem was putting a damper on her plans. Five years ago, Nicolette had taken the chaos as an opportunity to escape. Although Theodore had told Lauren that Nicolette was no longer someone that mattered, Lauren still could not let go of the matter. That

okay?” Gizem replied helplessly. “You adults are all liars.” Desi pouted. Just as Gizem was in a dilemma, Samuel came downstairs. When he saw his daughter’s reddened eyes, his heart ached. “What’s going on?” “Daddy, I want to follow Ms.

her. Desi was very obedient as well. She had never once rebelled against her father’s words. When Samuel first woke up and saw the scrawny state she was in, his heart almost tore into two. The doctor said that since Desi was so tiny, it meant her mother’s pregnancy probably wasn’t a great one. When Samuel heard that, he hugged Desi and cried.
