Chapter 0009

After leaving the cafe, Sean headed to Waterside Villas in his

Maybach. His gaze remained devoid of emotion as he looked at the familiar villa. He walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

“Why are you home so early today, Tina? And did Mr. Jones agree to come over for a meal?” A voice rang out from inside the villa. It belonged to Tina’s mother, Patricia White. She opened the door gleefully.

But when she saw Sean standing outside, her expression darkened. What are you doing here?”

“Mom.” Sean didn’t expect Patricia to be around. He still addressed her as “Mom” out of politeness.

“Bah! I’m not your mother! I’m warning you-you’d better not think of pestering my Tina!” Patricia spat. She thought Sean was trying to suck up to her.

Now that Tina had finally divorced him and latched onto Wayne, there was no way Patricia would allow Sean to disturb her. She relied on Wayne and the Jones family to provide her with a cushy life! It was why she was at the villa. She wanted to ask Tina about Wayne.

Sean took in Patricia’s hard, harsh face. He wasn’t too bothered by her, seemingly having already expected her to react like this. He said calmly, “I’m not here for Tina. I forgot to take something, so I came back for it. I’ll leave immediately after.”

“You forgot something? You’ve been leeching off my daughter for the past five years. Nothing in this house belongs to you, including the clothes you have on right now!” Patricia stood in the way.

She gave him a contemptuous look. “I do have a question for you,

though. How are you going to compensate Tina after wasting five years of her life?”

“Me, compensate her?” Sean felt like he’d seen it all now. For the past five years, he hadn’t spent a single penny of Tina’s money. All the money he’d spent was his own. In fact, he’d provided a million dollars.

for Tina to start her business!

Now, Tina had cheated on him and demanded a divorce. Not only had he not asked her to compensate him, but he hadn’t even demanded she repay the start-up capital he’d provided. Why was she and her family making it seem like he owed them?

“What, isn’t that something you’re supposed to do?” Patricia looked at him tartly.

“I should’ve known. Like mother, like daughter.” Sean couldn’t help sneering. Patricia and Tina were just like each other!

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Patricia was infuriated by Sean’s contempt. “It’s a sign of my respect for you that I’m demanding you compensate Tina for the time she wasted on you. Don’t cross the line, bastard!”

“Why, thanks for your respect.” Sean gritted his teeth. “I didn’t say a word about your daughter having an affair, yet you come here an demand that I compensate her. Doesn’t that weigh on your

conscience?”

“What do you mean Tina had an affair? It’s all because you’re such a loser! None of this would’ve happened if you were as outstanding as Mr. Jones!” Patricia said matter-of-factly.

“Yes, it’s all my fault for being so worthless. When I provided a million. dollars for Tina to start her company, none of you said anything about me being worthless.” Sean’s mockery grew.

“It’s just a million dollars. It’s only right for you to do that since you

married Tina. Also, I’ll have you know that Tina’s success is due to her hard work. Don’t you even dream of taking a single thing out of this villa. It’s only because of Tina that these things are here!” Patricia screeched. She didn’t look the slightest bit ashamed.

Sean sneered. He didn’t want to waste his breath arguing with her anymore. He sidestepped her to walk into the villa.

“This is my daughter’s home. I didn’t give you the permission to come. in!” Patricia blocked him. As she stretched her arms, she revealed an emerald bangle on her wrist.

Sean’s eyes flashed when he saw it. It was the only thing his mother had left for him before her death. At the time, his mother had hoped he could give the bangle to the woman he loved when he got married. Now that he and Tina were divorced, it was time for him to get the bangle back.
