Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 102
Theresa had been trying hard to persuade Emily. After all, her father and brothers had promised to give her thirty thousand dollars out of the three hundred thousand dollars.
Thirty thousand dollars was a year’s salary for her!
However, Emily would not agree to whatever Theresa and Henry said. Finally, Theresa left a harsh warning, “Mom! Fran and Des have spoken. If you ruin this, Micah and Myran won’t be able to afford a house or get married. They’ll resent you for the rest of their lives!”
Emily was furious and anxious. “How could you.. Do you all even have a conscience?! Have you forgotten how Serenity treated
Theresa laughed. “Mom, that’s all in the past. Things have changed. You can’t let her ruin our family and the children’s future. Besides, it’s partly Serenity’s fault that Micah and Myran can’t get married. When a girl from a good family hears that someone from our family was in prison, would she want to marry into the family? If they don’t even have a house ready, it’s even less likely for them to get married.”
Emily ground her teeth. After a short silence, she looked at her third daughter with teary eyes. “Y-you… How can you even face your younger sister?!”

Theres did not care. Her youngest sister had been dead for years. They might have had a good relationship before, but their sisterly love was gone. What was more important than money?
Serenity’s cousins surrounded her in the living room. Her cousin, Lynette, was snacking on so
some seeds and said with a half- smile, “I heard from Grandpa. Your Dad said you’re now a sanitation worker and cleaning the streets. Is that true?”
Lynette was just one year older than Serenity, When they were younger, everyone always compared Lynette to Serenity. Serenity was a top student, but Lynette was the complete opposite. Lynette failed to go to college and went to work after graduating high school. Later, she had married a blacksmith in a neighboring town.
At that time, Serenity was dating Zeke Shaw, the son of a wealthy family. Whenever Lynette thought of Serenity’s boyfriend and compared him to her own husband, she felt outclassed and ashamed.
Needless to say, Lynette would take every opportunity to step on Serenity, who had fallen in hard times.
“Yes, I clean the streets,” Serenity said, not ashamed of her career.
“Hey, you went to college, but what’s the use? In the end, you’re out cleaning the streets. Oh, but in the future.. Hehe, you won’t have to…”
Before Lynette could finish her sentence, Myrau gave her a look.
Lynette paused with a meaningful expression, gloating over Serenity’s future doom. ‘Hmph! What’s the use of bring a top student? She’ll end up marrying a m oron, anyway.”
Lynette could not wait to see how Serenity would be after marrying that mo ron.
In the evening, the family gathered for New Year’s Eve dinner, and Serenity finally met her grandmother.
