I don't know where that $300,000 went, but since mom admits taking it, 80% chance it went to support Ethan.
I left without eating, didn't even bother saying goodbye.
I have a friend who's a lawyer, I think I should ask a professional about this.
As I walked downstairs, I reached for my phone - forgot it, probably left it in the bathroom.
Gritting my teeth, I went back upstairs to get it, planning to just ring the doorbell and leave.
But the door wasn't fully closed. So I quietly went in to grab my phone and go, not wanting to face mom again.
That's when I heard mom's voice in Ethan's room, talking to him.
"If I'd known your sister would turn out like this, I should have just left her in the countryside to marry some old bachelor. Letting her study, look how she turned out. Ethan, I'm telling you, you better make sure that money is treated as bride price, not a penny less!"
