most.

Therefore, Lauren chose to confront Helena.

“Mom, let’s just admit that we lost.” With a flushed face, Helena spoke up with gritted teeth.

“No way! We’re talking about 1.5 million here. That’s several years’ worth of our expenses!”

Herman slammed his palm on the table and coldly uttered, “You’re making a spectacle of yourselves!”
