Chapter 195: Madam Caroline’s punishment
Madam Caroline looked from the check to Maverick. Her palm felt itchy, pushing her to write the amount of Zeros she wanted but she stopped herself with difficulty. She loves money, but money is not the only thing she wants.
"Renren, what do you mean by this?"
"The relationship broke the day you left. However, you were not compensated enough. I guess that’s why you feel the need to... poke your nose into our lives. On behalf of my dad... I’m here to pay you off."
"Brother, that’s too much! She made away with $500,000,000... half of dad’s assets when she left. Because of that money, dad’s company almost went bankrupt and you had to step in at such a tender age. How can you pay her anymore?!" Rex was vexed. He glared at Madam Caroline like a demon would a more powerful human. He wanted to kill this woman but he knew he can’t bring himself to... just like Maverick can’t see himself killing his mother.
Even if she is a bad woman, at least she was decent enough to suffer through nine months and push them out instead of going for CS. She breastfed Maverick for six months and Rex for three months, so the two owe her a debt of gratitude for that.
She had done lots of horrible things to them, but still, they couldn’t touch her. Rex had vowed to kill her if he finds out she was connected to what happened to Maverick, Valen, and Jeslyn but as of now, nothing points to her. He just hopes that if she was truly guilty, he’d be able to carry out his vow without thinking of kinship.
Maverick patted Rex’s shoulder and said; "call it... Charity."
Madam Caroline swallowed the insult and took a deep breath. "I can’t accept your offer. All I want is for us to reunite as a family. I’m ready to make amends."
"Hmph! Do you still see us as children? Do I look like that child you almost drowned in a pool of mud? Do I?!"
