Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2174: Suddenly Heard an Argument

Earlier he urged her to come back quickly, but in the blink of an eye, it became telling her to take her time returning. As for the reason, it was so blatantly obvious.

She believed that Baron Lawrence was capable of backing up his words with actions in this regard, and she didn’t want to be confined to her room with him for days without being able to get out of bed. So, after hanging up the phone, she quickly told Scott Harris they were heading back.

...

At this point, Enna Clark and her companions had just gotten into the car to head back.

On the other side, the overbearing and arrogant man hung up the phone, and his once cloudy mood had brightened considerably. Even Adam Sinclair seemed much more agreeable now.

He, for the first time, didn’t impatiently complain about the party Adam had arranged, put his phone away, and leisurely headed towards the beach lounge chair at the corner of the beach——

The entire hotel beach was locked down.

Aside from them, no one else would be coming over to disturb.

But he still didn’t like places with too many people, so he found the beach lounge chair in the most remote corner. Just having reclined, his attention was on his phone.

When he heard a fierce argument erupting from behind the coconut tree next to the lounge chair.

”Joanne, you can’t just ignore your brother. It’s only 15 thousand dollars, you’re bound to have it. Just give us the money to help your brother, will you? I’m begging you, money is just material; if it’s gone, it can be earned again. But if anything happens to your brother, what then?”

The other voice was much younger, ”I’m not giving it! Who told him to go gamble again? If he has the guts to gamble, he should have the guts to pay for it himself! Why should I give him anything? I’ve already helped him enough. You can’t expect me to clean up after him every single time, I have my own life too! He’s already over thirty, yet he spends all his days muddling around, refusing to get a job, just lazing at home letting you and Dad support him. He throws tantrums at you and Dad frequently. Look at him, what’s he even like? He’s like some idle rogue; it’s fitting that actual thugs teach him a lesson. Maybe, then, he won’t dare to do it again.”

Her words obviously enraged her mother, who had been pleading with her but now yelled sharply in anger, ”You ungrateful girl! How could you say that? That’s your brother! Instead of wishing him well, you’re hoping thugs teach him a lesson? Ha, how could I have given birth to such a heartless daughter?”

”I’m heartless?” Joanne Harrison suppressed the fury in her chest, looking at her mother’s haggard face, her burning anger turning into deep helplessness, ”How am I heartless? How many of his gambling debts have I paid off over the years, you tell me? Since I graduated from University and started working, more than half of my salary every month has gone to you. I give it to you, and you hand it to him to spend. Spending isn’t enough; you even need to borrow money from me to pay his gambling debts. Can you say that’s not how it is? Every day, I don’t even dare buy meat when grocery shopping, relying mostly on instant noodles and discounted vegetables from the supermarket, and can’t afford a new piece of clothing all year round. Even if I buy clothes, it’s just cheap stuff online. An outfit costs less than 15 dollars. And what about him? He’s always out dining with his reckless friends, spending hundreds at a time. Not to mention he often gambles and loses a couple of thousands every now and then, who do you think covers that? To pay off his debts, I have to find part-time jobs besides my regular work. I do all this for you and Dad, do you think it’s for my brother? Yet in your eyes, I end up being the heartless one.”
