Chapter 83 Why Didn't Queenie Dump You?
Gilda pondered for a moment. "That's really hard to say. After all, none of us have seen your sister's marriage certificate!"
Gilda recalled, "Back then, Manley said he needed to take the household register book from our home. Since Manley represents Mr. Clancy and the Clancy family, your father and I couldn't refuse. When the book was returned, your sister's household registration had been moved out! We had no way of knowing if she was married or not."
Monica squinted her eyes. "Mom, do you think there's a possibility that my sister colluded with Mr. Clancy and used an excuse to move her registration out? Maybe they never got married at all. So all the dowry and land were just nonsense. We never even met them!"
"Exactly!" Gilda thought it made sense, but then she hesitated. "But that woman said she was staying there..."
"She said they were just temporary accommodations! This Prescott Clancy and Lilith always liked my sister. I guess they asked Mr. Clancy to protect her. Remember that incident with Gerald? It was so embarrassing."
Gilda nodded. "But what about buying that store?"
"Mom, why can't you see it? Just look. Did Mr. Clancy give any clothes to my sister? No! It's all just talk! It's just for show! Besides, businessmen only care about profit. Investing in a luxury goods shop is a sure win! It's not like he really invested for my sister. Even if he did, I bet my sister is just his mistress."
"Well said, Monica," Gilda chimed in.
Monica sneered. "I really thought my sister had married into the Clancy family. Turns out she was just staying there!"
Gilda agreed, "Yes, how could your sister have such good luck!"
On the other side, after Gilda and her daughter left, Barbara Clancy also left the luxury store and waited impatiently at Bund Bay for Queenie to return.
As she waited, Barbara sent a WhatsApp message to her brother, Pollard. Hey, I have a question for you. Have you ever given Queenie a card?
Pollard was taken aback when he saw the text. He immediately called Barbara. “What kind of card?"
"A bank card! Like a credit card or something!" Barbara Clancy said with some excitement.
"No, Queenie doesn't need those things."
"Does Queenie not know about your Clancy Group bonus card?" Barbara Clancy continued to inquire.
"Well, Mom said since we're not married yet, so there's no need to tell Queenie. And there was a time when Mom even took away my card. But I didn't touch the money on that card much. Except for last year when I bought a bag for you and Mom, I only borrowed some money to help a junior apprentice's parents in the countryside to build a house. After that, the money was gone. I've been saving it, planning to use it when I marry Queenie in the future."
Barbara Clancy was speechless. "Brother, if I were Queenie, I would cheat on you too."
Pollard chuckled. "Queenie is not as materialistic and practical as you."
"Brother, it's not about materialism. Which woman doesn't want her boyfriend to give her a card? It's about trust! And you haven't even spent a penny from that card on Queenie, but you lend money to that annoying girl?!"
"Barbara! Don't talk about the apprentice like that! Her family was in trouble, and I was just lending her money, she will pay it back!" Pollard's tone became stern.
Barbara Clancy rolled her eyes. "Brother, with your attitude, I wonder why Queenie hasn't left you! You don't even know... I thought you kept the company bonus card with Queenie."
Barbara Clancy then briefly recounted what happened today.
Pollard frowned. "Why would Queenie go along with her family? Are people's relationships really this terrible?"
