After this encounter, Christopher lost all interest in Jacob. He turned to the boss and said, “Please follow me to see the sofa set!”


    “Sure!” The boss nodded slightly and stepped outside the furniture shop alongside Christopher.<fn3a68> For original chapters go to find?novel</fn3a68>


    Lady Wilson shot a piercing re at Jacob, her expression darkening as she coldly asked, “What are you doing here?”


    Despite having severed ties with her long ago, Jacob still felt a measure of respect for her, as she was, after all, his mother. He replied politely, “Mom, the renovation of Charlie’s vi isplete. We’re here to purchase some furniture so we can move in as soon as possible.”


    Jacob’s words were straightforward, but to Lady Wilson, they felt like a harsh p in the face!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    She was on the verge of being ousted from her own vi and was even forced to sell some belongings left by herte husband. Meanwhile, Jacob and his family, whom she had expelled from the Wilson family vi, were preparing to move into the luxurious vi at Thompson First. Wasn’t this a direct insult to her?


    As she reflected on the opulence of the Thompson First vi, the best and most luxurious in Aurous Hill, Lady Wilson felt a surge of difort and anger. Clenching her teeth, she retorted, “Are you here to unt your sess and mock me?”


    “No!” Jacob felt unjustly used and quickly rified, “Mom, that’s not my intention at all! I’m just answering your question about why I’m here.”


    Watching Jacob’s humble demeanor while addressing Lady Wilson made ine feel a twinge of irritation.


    Lady Wilson had tormented her for years, yet here she was, in a pitiful state, reduced to selling off secondhand furniture. Why was she still so arrogant? Who did she think she could intimidate?


    With these thoughts in mind, ine stepped forward and mockingly asked, “Oh, Mother! Why are you here today? Is it to sell off the furniture Dad left behind? Is this how dire the Wilson family’s situation has be?”


    Lady Wilson’s anger red as she shot a re at ine’s mocking expression. “ine! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?”


    “Oh!” ine smirked and replied, “What’s the problem? You’re about to go bankrupt, yet you still act as if you’re the family matriarch? Don’t you feel embarrassed?”


    Lady Wilson, her temper rising, eximed, “ine, how dare you speak to me this way? Do you have no respect for your mother-inw?”


    ine scoffed, “I’m well aware that you’ve always looked down on me. The only one you ever appreciated was your eldest daughter-inw, Hannah. I heard she was particrly ‘thoughtful’—she even gifted your son a ‘green hat’ and took all your family’s savings!”


    As she spoke, ine sighed dramatically, “Sister-inw could have at least left you a couple of million. If she had, you wouldn’t be in such a desperate situation, needing to sell off furniture just to survive!”


    Lady Wilson seethed with fury. “ine! You wretched girl! I regret ever allowing you into the Wilson family!”


    ine shot back with disdain, “Well, too bad! We’ve left the Wilson family behind, so we have nothing to do with you anymore! The Wilson family vi is so worn down that we wouldn’t even nce at it. Just so you know, we’re moving into the vi at Thompson First today! It’s avish ce, over a thousand square meters, fully renovated. I’ll be living like royalty! Unfortunately for you, an old woman like you will never have such a life!”


    ine had long harbored resentment toward Lady Wilson, and now that the olddy was in despair, ine seized the moment to retaliate, refusing to let her off easily.


    Lady Wilson trembled with rage at ine’s words. Gritting her teeth, she warned, “ine, don’t be so cocky! The only reason you’re moving into the Thompson First vi is because your useless husband swindled it from someone else! Sooner orter, you’ll be kicked out! I’ll be waiting for the day you end up sleeping on the streets!”


    ine ced her hands on her hips andughed, “You think I’ll be the one on the streets? Hahaha! You’re the one who’s about to be homeless! I heard the bank ising to reim your property soon! I can’t wait to see what you’ll do when they seal off your vi! That’ll be the moment you reflect on your actions and realize why you’ve ended up in this miserable state, starving, thirsty, and freezing on the streets! Perhaps then you’ll understand that this is your retribution for all the wrongs you’ve done!”
