I had told Bryce many times to keep away from them, yet he’d been pretending to listen while doing the opposite behind my back.

Those guys gave me cruel smirks.

“I heard your mom had a stroke and’s lying in the hospital, huh? Costs thousands a day to keep her there. If you’ve got no money, why don’t you just take her home and wait for her to die?”

“Check out that expression, she’s probably here to beg Bryce for pity, hoping he’ll feel sorry for her and hand over some cash to save that old woman.”

“Bryce, don’t soften up. Garbage like her family deserves to vanish completely.”

Edith hooked her arms around his. “Bryce, let’s go redeem the prize.”

“When the money’s in hand, we can take our time getting back at this useless woman.”

At hearing about claiming the prize, Bryce’s eyes brightened with excitement, and he gave a cold smile. “Margaret, without me, you’re nothing!”

“Today, I’ll show you what a hundred million really looks like!”

“Just wait until you choke on envy.” Tabitha strutted beside him, proud and delighted.

While they were talking, a van stopped in front of us, and several big men stepped out.
