Chapter 763 - 5

Mrs. Wilson quickly cut in with a fake laugh, "Oh please, your sister was right. We’re just the poor relatives now, aren’t we? Let’s not bother her. She’ll come home when she’s ready."
Truth was, she was nervous—terrified that if Aurora did come home, she might tell Mr. Wilson about the forty million she had lost.
If he found out, he’d explode. He was a man of principle.
Forty million! She had blown all of it in the stock market. Every time she thought about it, she wanted to slam her head against a wall.
Mr. Wilson shot her a glare. "As her elder, aren’t you supposed to set an example? You’re Mrs. Wilson, not some petty gossip from the street. Can’t you say one constructive thing?"
Mrs. Wilson fell silent.
Madison let out a disdainful snort but didn’t dare talk back to her father.
Kimi frowned. He didn’t understand grown-up problems. Why did Mommy and his sister hate Aurora so much? Aurora was always kind to him—she never came over empty-handed.
She brought gifts for him, for Mommy, and for Madison. So why did they act like she didn’t belong?
