Belinda shot her & vexed look, “You are so petty, holding onto such grudges. We are all familyhere, there shouldn't be any ill will held overnight. Our Hawthorne family is already thin in numbers.Ritchie is Zack's only nephew. If something happens to him, do you think you can face ourancestors?”

Jolin scoffed, “He's 30 years old and still living off others. On top of that, he's in debt because ofhis reckless spending. You've spoiled him rotten. Can you face our ancestors?”

Belinda was so furious she could barely breathe, she leaned back on the couch, clutching herchest. Perla was equally enraged. Her son was her everything, and she would do anything for him.No one could speak ill of him.

"Don’t think just because your daughter married into wealth, you are superior. Since you can't evenspare a few hundred thousand to help your own family, the marriage is wasted.”

Aurelia took a sip of her water, calmly stating, “Perla, you're not my family. When Avery was sick,you were the one who wanted to cut ties with us, afraid of being a burden. Have you forgotten yourown words?"

Perla’s face turned ashen. She never thought the tables would turn so quickly. She thought Avery'sfamily was doomed.

“Avery is doing just fine now, isn't he? He's even in the entertainment industry. You're still holdingonto these old grudges. How shameful.”

“You have the audacity to do these things, and we can't talk about them? We will remember thisforever.” Jolin spoke without any hesitation, “It's better that we sever our ties. You can deal with yourown mess.”

Upon hearing this, Perla threw a tantrum, slapping her thigh and starting to cry, “How can you holdonto grudges like this? We are family, blood is thicker than water. Do you really want to watchRitchie get killed by his debts?”

Ritchie clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, “If you won't help me pay my debts, then none of youcan live peacefully. We can all just die together.”

Belinda held onto her son's hand, crying her eyes out, “Zack, please help Ritchie. Your son-in-law isso rich, a few hundred thousand is just pocket change for him. You should talk to him, and hewouldn't refuse to help his father-in-law.”

Zack sighed, “I just arrived here and haven't even seen him yet. Plus, he's in Starhaven, who knowswhen he'll be back.”

Belinda said, “Then you should call him. He doesn't need to be here, he can just transfer themoney.”

Jolin was speechless, “You make it sound so easy. Some people can't earn four hundred thousand ina lifetime. You just open your mouth and he should give you the money? Do you think he’s runninga charity? And Ritchie is just a distant cousin. Even if it was Avery, Arnold's own

brother-in-law, he might not be able to borrow the money. You're willing to lose face for a wastrel,we're not. Our Aurelia still needs to hold her head high in her in-law’s house!”

Belinda collapsed onto the floor, sobbing and hitting her leg, “Oh my, I can’t bear it. Jolin, you havea heart of stone. You and your family are living well, and you don't care about us. You're neitherwilling to sell the ancestral house nor lend us the money. You're truly wicked! What did ourHawthorne family do to deserve a daughter-in-law like you?”

Aurelia walked over, looking down at her coldly, “Grandmother, the floor is cold. Your act is notgoing to work. We've already negotiated with the moneylenders. They'll calculate the interest at thebank's ra

rate and give Ritchie a month to sell his house and pay off his debt. This is the only thing we can do.If you continue like this, they'll just repossess his house to settle the debt.”

Ritchie was fuming, he Sed at Aurelia, “You heartless woman, you're watching me die and doingnothing. I curse you, you'll be dumped soon. Even if you're married into wealth, you'll just be aresentful wife.”
