Sweet Divorce

Amelia’s low tones fell next to her ear and drove Rose into a panic.

All these years, the Brown family had taken care of all her needs.

Even if they were moving out, without a job, the two of them ate, drank and lived off Amelia.

If the two of them were to go at it honestly, there was no way they could live in fancy apartments, much less Rita’s hundred-thousand-dollar handbags. They relied entirely on the Brown family’s support.

Really, it should be said that they relied on Amelia’s favoritism.

Naturally, Rose didn’t have the guts to offend her benefactor out in the open.

Desperate to salvage the situation, she slapped herself. “This unfiltered mouth of mine – don’t take it personally, Mom, I was just too angry at Mason and wanted to get at him. I wasn’t thinking when I spoke.”

Wasn’t thinking when she spoke?

Naturally, Amelia didn’t buy that excuse. “You might have been angry, but that was sincere, too, wasn’t it?”

“No, it really wasn’t…” Pale, Rose shook her head and tried to explain.

Amelia looked coldly at Rose on the ground as she tried to explain. Completely unmoved, she scoffed. “Whether it was sincere or not, I’m telling you two today; I’m handing over the Brown family to Rita.”

The old lady’s determination didn’t sit well with Rose and Mason.

Rose had learned to keep her mouth shut, but it was Mason who asked desperately, “Mom, Rose is right. How could you neglect your own flesh and blood granddaughter and give the family properties over to an outsider?”

Amelia glared fiercely at Mason, disappointment in her eyes. “How did I ever spawn an idiot like you? Can’t you see the situation for what it is?”

Hearing that, Mason and Rose blinked.

After a pause of several seconds, they asked in unison-

“What situation?”

“What situation?”

They’d spoken this much but this couple still wasn’t getting in. Amelia almost lost it. “With everything that’s been happening to the Brown family, we can only rely on Rita to help now.
