Chapter 448
Rapid knocking at Janine’s door woke her up.
Janine tended to sleep early. She went to bed around eight every night.
She was startled from her sleep by the knocks. Initially, she thought she’d been dreaming.
Then, she put on a robe and went to the door. She looked out of the peephole, only to find Maisy standing outside.
Janine was confused about why Maisy had turned up at this hour.
She knew what had happened to the Williams family, Steven and Charles had told her some of it. In the past, she’d seen how Maisy and the Williamses had forced Skylar to resign.
Janine frowned.
Maisy begged through tears, “Mom, please open the door and let me in. I’m your daughter. Are you going to lock me out?”
Janine only noticed Maisy’s messy hair and filthy clothes after hearing her requests. She was paler than a ghost.
After a moment of hesitation, Janine opened the door.
The second the door opened, Maisy barged in. She hugged Janine and cried, “I didn’t know where to go, Mom. The Williamses are bankrupt and they don’t want me anymore. In addition, they used all the funds in my account to pay their debts. I’m penniless now, I’ve only got you now.”
Janine froze. However, she eventually hugged Maisy back.
Janine’s expression turned somber when she thought of what Maisy had done. She said, ” You decided to stay with the Williamses instead of returning to us. They must’ve cast you out for a reason. You would be mistaken if you believe I’ll fall for your lies. There’s not enough space at home for you to stay, and we’re moving soon.
“You’re over 20 years old. Skylar has gotten a job and has rented a house. You don’t have to seek me out. There’s not much love lost between us.
She immediately pushed Maisy off her and out of her house.
Chapter 418
Maisy hadn’t expected Janine to be so heartless. She complained, “Are you going to watch me starve to death? I’m your daughter!”
Skylar had been making money. So had Steven and Charles. They could just give her
money to sustain her lavish lifestyle. Was it that hard?
Wasn’t Janine nothing more than a hotel cleaner? They gave her thousands a month!
How could they be so selfish?
Janine scolded coldly, “You’re not disabled, and you’re unlikely to starve to death. Get a job and devote yourself to it. It’s not hard to provide for yourself.”
Although she pitied Maisy, she couldn’t be selfish and invite this troublemaker back into her children’s lives just because of the pity she felt.
Maisy was a dishonest and scheming woman. Jeffrey had raised her to be a horrible person.
Maisy’s mouth fell open in surprise. She then screamed, “I’m the heiress to a powerful family, and I’m going to marry into a wealthy family to run the house. How could I possibly go to work? I will not be controlled by any of you!”
The second she finished her declaration, the door slammed in her face.
Maisy flew into a rage at the sight. She shouted, “Don’t you want to make the best choice for
your future? Based on my beauty and my intelligence, there’s no doubt I’m going to marry rich. When that day comes, you’ll benefit from it. I’m only asking you to sacrifice a little bit to help me at my lowest. I’ve given you the chance to do so, yet none of you have valued it!”
Janine listened as Maisy ranted. It was as though her moral compass was irreversibly broken, and it made Janine sigh.
However, she rejoiced in the next moment that she’d made the right choice.
Charles had sent her a video that was trending on social media. Everyone in Jipsburg City had seen it.
Maisy was stripping like a mad woman. Her behavior made goosebumps rise all over Janine.
