"No, that's not what I meant, I..."
"I don't lack money, I have enough to last me ten lifetimes, even if the company collapsed it wouldn't matter to me, I don't need your concern!"
Elly, her face cold, interrupted Ivy's defense.
She knew her daughter all too well, just as selfish as Sean.
Back when Sean cheated, Ivy had fervently sided with Sean and blamed her, her own mother. From that day, Elly had little hope left for her daughter.
She had always been more rational than emotional, and her only impulsive act in life had been to fall for that good-for-nothing Sean, which had taught her the biggest lesson of her life.
What was Ivy really thinking? Why had she initially acted like she wanted to cut off their mother-daughter relationship, only to shamelessly show up at her doorstep not long after?
Nothing more than realizing that without her, life was not easy and wanting a long-term meal ticket.
