Reborn Wife

Chapter 182 

"Even if you had forgotten about it, that doesn't mean they had! Don't you even think about it! Once they get their hands on you, do you think the Clements Family will let you go?"

Maggie said as she felt extremely pissed at her mother.

"Forget it, I'll send you money.Rent a house where you can stay comfortably.But don't go around showing off.Remember, you need to lie low for the time being.Do you understand?"

Maggie reminded her mother.

"Yes, I get it.I definitely won't run around" Sophie agreed.

After their conversation, Maggie transferred all the money she had on her account, which was given to her by Isaac.

So far, she had already received around 70,000 dollars.

He was indeed worthy of being called a son of a wealthy nouveau riche.

In front of Leonard, Maggie had always maintained a kind and gentle image.

Therefore, the considerate Leonard would never tarnish her reputation with money.

It just so happened that the things he occasionally gave her were expensive.

He would also volunteer to pay for all their expenses whenever they went out to eat.

Although Langston had already kicked her out, he did not completely abandon her.

Apart from the cost of school accommodation and meals, he had also provided her with a considerable amount of monthly allowance.

Because of that, it wasn't too difficult for her to support her mother.

However, Maggie never expected that when she went to visit Sophie the other day, she would find her living extravagantly.

She had rented an expensive apartment and had it lavishly decorated.She had even hired two maids to wash, cook and clean for her. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Maggie was even more stunned when she saw several branded clothes and bags neatly arranged in a cabinet.

She knew it had cost thousands of dollars.

In such a short period, Sophie had almost depleted the money she had sent her.

It had been such a long time since the last time she saw her mother so she expected a warm reunion.

But upon witnessing how her mother wasted her money, she forgot all thoughts of the warm reunion she had earlier envisioned.

"Mom, have you gone crazy? Why are you acting as if the Clements Family is still supporting us? Do you think we still have the money to support your shopping splurges?"

Sophie was looking at her newly bought bracelet that was strapped to her wrist when she heard Maggie reprimand her.

She turned to her daughter and said, "What's wrong, you want to go against my wishes? I had suffered so much in that mountain, was it so wrong if I want to enjoy myself this time!"

She was originally from a poor countryside and was only brought to the city by Langton.

And from then on she had experience a life of luxury, a vast difference from the life she had previously led.

When she was still living with the Clements Family, she had servants who attended to all her needs.

She had them at her beck and call which made her spend her days comfortably.

But her life before was completely different from her current situation and she couldn't just accept that.

Sophie did not want to return to a life of poverty and live in such a dire strait.

It was the first time that the mother and daughter pair had a heated argument and they had separated that night unhappily.

Maggie thought that Sophie was being a burden.

In the end, she decided to ignore her and live her life as if she don't have a mother anymore.

However, it had only been two days since they last met when Sophie called Maggie to ask for more money.

Maggie immediately refused her request.

"If you do not send me money within the day, then I'll go ask Leonard for help.I'm sure he will help me out for your sake"

Maggie knew it was a threat.

So how could she still refuse Sophie when there is a possibility that she would come near Leonard.

Having a mother with a criminal record was already a stain on her reputation.

If Leonard saw her mother, he would probably lose interest in her.

She would never allow such a thing to happen, so she gritted her teeth and compromised.

However, Sophie only got worse.

When Maggie got mad and told her that she no longer had money to send her, Sophie would only tell her to ask her suitors for it.

"If you can't ask from Leonard, isn't that Issac still attracted to you?"

Maggie could not believe that her mother would say such a thing to her, all because of money.

What exactly had happened to Sophie during the time she was in hiding? Maggie thought her mother's temperament had completely changed.

After some thought, Maggie seemed to have realized something.

She raised her head and stared in shock as she asked her seriously, "Mom, tell me the truth.Have you been gambling?"
