"Well, Grandma, I have to go now. I have something to do thisafternoon.” Sylvia hugged Kira and left with Mark.

Kira stood where she was and watch them disappear from her view.She stayed for a while longer before turning back.

She bent over and galumphed home. In the sunlight, her shadow gotlonger.

It took Kira more than ten minutes to get home.

"Mom, do you remember what I tell you before? Why didn't you do asyou promised?” Otto glared at Kira.

Kira stood in the doorway, with her head down, not saying a word. Shelooked like a schoolboy being disciplined.

"Do you want me to go bankrupt?" Otto yelled in annoyance, "Do youknow how much I have to pay if this matter is not handled? If I lose allmy money and the villa, you will have to live on the street! I'm housingand supporting you, or you can't even make a living."

Kira stood in the doorway and remained silent. She saved every pennyto bring Ottos up, but he changed a lot.

Skyla stood behind Otto and rolled her eyes, "Mom, Otto is really introuble now. The breach of contract should be at least 20 million. Ottosleeps badly and doesn't feel like eating these days. If Sylvia doesn'thelp us and cure the old Mr. Wilson, we all have to live on the street. Itold you what to say yesterday, but why did you say nothing about it justnow? As long as you ask Sylvia for help, Sylvia will agree withouthesitation."

"Anyway, Otto has told Sibbie about it," Kira said in an unhappy tone. Inher mind, it was too demanding for Sylvia to change the wholesituation.

They couldn't ask Sylvia to do what even Otto failed to manage.Therefore, Kira didn't want to get Sylvia involved in it.

“But she didn't say she was going to do it. I need her to take action. I'mnot as persuasible as you. You are too innocent. What an ingrate! Sheeven stands by and does nothing when her father is in trouble.” Themore Otto thought about it, the angrier he became.

"What do you have in your pocket? Why is it so bulging?" Skyla sawKira's pocket, quickly walked up to her, and reached inside.

“There's nothing in it." Kira tried to protect it, but Skyla, who was muchstronger than Kira, directly pulled out the black bag. Skyla opened itand saw the money, screaming, "My goodness! I can't believe you havethe 20 thousand I lost a few days ago."

“No, I didn't take yours. Sibbie gave the money to me just now." Kirawas dumbfounded. "It's not yours!"

"Honey, you know about the money I lost the other day." Skyla's facewas contorted with rage. She took the money and slammed it down onthe back of Kira's hands. "We've supported you for so long, but yousteal my money. How dare you!"

Skyla got increasingly angry. Ignoring Kira's swollen hands, shecontinued to hit Kira with the money, “I've been so nice to you. I giveyou whatever you want. Do you know the loss of the money worried mefor many days? You are biting the hand that feeds you!"

"Well, Mom is old and confused, so don't be too hard on her." Ottoyanked Skyla in annoyance.

"Otto, Skyla, I did take the money from Sibbie." Kira, with tears in hereyes, was angry and aggrieved. She said with shame and anger,"Whatever happens, I will not steal anything from anyone. I've nevereven seen your money. I haven't even been to your room."

Kira shared a maid's room downstairs with the maids.

The villa had many guest rooms, but Skyla thought Kira was too oldand dirty to live in a guest room.

Kira knew Skyla's disgust against her, so Kira seldom left the maid'sroom, even not daring to step into the dining room or the living room.Hence, it was impossible for her to steal the money in Skyla's room.“You got no right refuting! Do you really want our family to fall apart?"Otto roared and threw his hands at Kira, who was then caught off guardand slammed herself into the security door behind her.

With a bang, the back of her head thumped on it.

Kira felt her head hit by dizziness. She slid slowly down the door, fallingto the ground.

"Stop pretending. I didn't use any strength. You are not that fragile, areyou? You must apologize to my wife today.” Otto kicked Kira again. "Wehouse you and support you, but you steal money from us. You deservethis!"

Kira's eyes were blurred. As an aged woman, she almost fainted from aheadache.

She tried to rise to her feet, but couldn't use her strength at all.

What was worse, Otto kicked Kira for the second time, which make hercurl up on the floor and moan in pain.

Very soon, her forehead was covered with sweat.

Kira was overwhelmed by a severe headache.

Skyla squatted down in front of Kira, pulled her up, and pinched herarm with a twisted face. Kira cried out in pain and looked at Skyla'screepy face with difficulty. “I ... I did not steal the money. I never stealmoney."

"Sylvia didn't even take a handbag with her when she came. Herpajamas didn't even have a pocket, so where did she get the money foryou? You are bad at lying!" Skyla glared at Kira with eyes wide open."Forget it, now that the money has been found, you don't have to beangry anymore." Otto comforted Skyla, who was still in a rage, "Afterall, she is my mother. I can't drive her out."

"Anyway, I don't want to see her again." Skyla threw Kira away and satdown on the couch, rolling her eyes at Otto. "I'm telling you, if it weren'tfor me, our family would have fallen apart.”

Skyla was a troublemaker, but she was good at attracting investmentfrom other companies. Therefore, she helped Otto many times.

Otto spoiled Skyla, indulging her every whim. Instead, he gotincreasingly unsatisfied with Kira. He hated it when she denied stealingmoney.

"From now on you'll live in the utility room."

"Mr. Andrews, the utility room is dirty and messy. It's summer now, soit's too hot for the old Mrs. Andrews to live in it without an airconditioner,” The maid named Una whispered.

Looking at Kira's distressed look, Una was a little worried.

However, as a maid hired by Otto, Una couldn't do anything with that."Air conditioning is not good for the old. Hurry up and pack up for her.It's none of your business." Skyla rolled her eyes and cried again on thecouch.
