Chapter 48: Nothing Is Ever Free

Jimmy cocked his head to the side as he glared at Jennifer. "What’s it to ya?" he sneered, gripping the money in his hands even tighter.
Clearly, Jennifer was not in her right mind as she rushed at Jimmy, clawing at him with only one hand as she tried to get to the money. "The money is mine! This house is mine! I wished for them, so that makes them mine!"

"Did you just hit me?" she demanded, looking like she couldn’t believe someone had the audacity to strike her.
Jeremiah scoffed before turning his back to the insane woman.
