Mary was in despair when she heard Greg’s words.

“Do you have to be so heartless, Greg?”

Mary pointed at Greg, the pleading look on her face had now turned into one of disgust and resentment.

“You really are an ungrateful b*stard. I’ve kept you alive and well in my house all these years, I gave you a roof over your head and clothes to wear. But now you’re just going to leave with someone just because they’re stronger and more powerful?

“No wonder you’re so determined to sever ties with my family. You’re a horrible excuse for a human being!”

The more Mary spoke, the angrier she became. “You really are a dog! Calling whoever gives you better sh*t your master!”

Greg sneered at Mary and replied expressionlessly, “So you admit that you’ve been giving me sh*t, huh? How long have you forced me to smell it?”

Mary’s expression froze and she shrieked, “What are you saying, Greg?!”

“Those were your words, not mine. All I did was agree. That’s what you wanted all this while, no? So why? What’s so different today?” Greg spoke icily.
