The watches I gave him weren’t Rolex. True, but their value was several times higher.
Still, he claimed I never gave him emotional worth.
When I stayed quiet, Tabitha assumed I was unwilling and instantly blew up. “You’re not planning to take my son’s scratch card, are you?”
“That belongs to my son! It has nothing to do with you!”
“You never work hard to earn money, and now you’re after my son’s money! Shameless!”
“Everyone outside says Bryce married a useless woman!”
“And I completely agree with them!”
Bryce glanced aside. “Mom, stop talking. You’re making me lose face.”
They didn’t know the company had already decided to make me the general manager and give me 5% of the shares.
If this hadn’t happened, Bryce would have been driving the ten-million-dollar Maserati sports car I bought for him. But now, he’d lost it all.
Staring at them mockingly, I coldly countered, “That scratch card was handed to me by the company during the annual party. My colleagues can back me up.”
Guarding his pocket quickly, Bryce kicked me hard. “Are you so desperate for money or what?”
“Margaret, have a little decency! The scratch card isn’t marked! Whoever holds it owns it!”
Just then, someone suddenly dashed in through the doorway.
Overcome with joy, she threw herself into Bryce’s embrace. “Bryce, how true is it?!”
“You actually won a hundred million?”
The one who rushed in was my best friend, Edith Meyers. When I had been chasing after Bryce, she was the one who helped me think of all sorts of plans.
But never had I imagined that now, right before my eyes, she would throw herself into Bryce’s arms.
And after hearing about the win, the very first person Bryce shared the news with was her.
Anyone could instantly see what kind of relationship they had.
At this time, Bryce didn’t even try to hide anything. With his arm wrapped affectionately around Edith’s shoulders, he said, “It’s true, Edith. From now on, I’ll look after you, alright?”
“Edith, I think it’s you who brought me this luck!”
“It must’ve been that kiss you gave me today, that’s why I won!”
“So, it’s only right that this prize money includes a share for you!”
My mind went blank.
The scratch card had been taken from me, yet the prize had nothing to do with me at all.
And she, just because she cheated with him and kissed him, got a part of it?
Watching that scene, I felt only disgust and sickness.
