Chapter 145 Want Money? Don't Even Think About It
Wendy got up to use the bathroom and was startled by Emily coming out of the study.
"Get out of my way!" Wendy shouted, pushing Emily aside. She checked on Bobby, who was still snoring, and sighed in relief.
"I wanted to ask if he's working tomorrow. If not, he can take care of Tommy. I need to go out," Emily said, making up an excuse.
Wendy snorted. "Aren't you so capable? Why don't you take care of him yourself? Bobby finally gets a day off, and you want him to babysit? Are you trying to wear him out?"
"Bobby is the backbone of this family! We rely on him! Your company hasn't paid salaries for months, right? You're living off Bobby! Taking care of kids is a woman's job! Don't bother Bobby!"
Wendy's tone was arrogant, thinking Emily needed something from them.
Emily quietly turned on her phone's recording app, sounding aggrieved. "Who said taking care of Tommy is my job? I didn't have Tommy by myself! My job performance dropped after having Tommy. Before that, I earned almost $3000 a month, saving at least $750 each month. I saved $12000 in a year, all of which went to pay off your mortgage! You said after paying off the loan, the house would be transferred to Bobby, but you never did!"
"The house renovation cost $22000, at least $15000 of which was mine! And Bobby's car was bought with money from my parents. I've contributed a lot to this family. Now that I'm earning less, you talk to me like this?"
Emily almost burst into tears.
Wendy spat. "All you know is how to cry! You gave us the money because you wanted to! That's because Bobby is capable! You found Bobby handsome and wanted to throw yourself at him! If you're stupid, who can you blame?"
"So, you're not going to return my money?" Emily asked, looking weak and helpless.
Wendy, feeling smug, let her guard down. "Return what? You gave it willingly! You're stupid! You believed us! Want money? Don't even think about it!"
"When I was in postpartum recovery, I needed the most care and attention. But your whole family made me pay $12000 to cover the mortgage. This house was bought at a fifth of today's price, and $12000 is a third of its value! You go around telling people you saved up to buy this house! Aren't you afraid of karma?"
Emily made sure to enunciate every word clearly.
"Then go sue us! Go tell people! See who believes you! You deserve it!" Wendy started jumping and pointing at Emily. Emily covered her face and turned back to her room.
Wendy continued cursing at the door for a while before stopping, afraid of waking up David and Bobby.
Seeing Emily cry out of anger, Wendy arrogantly returned to her room, smugly reveling in her own satisfaction.
In her room, Emily saved the audio recording with a blank expression, a bitter smile creeping up her lips. She had indeed been stupid before and couldn't see through the Hill family's schemes!
From now on, she would live only for her child and herself.
While organizing the screenshots, Emily suddenly noticed something strange in Bobby's Facebook contacts. Many names were replaced with numbers like 112, 123, 12355, and all the profile pictures were of women.
