Chapter 272

"Mom…" Brian looked at Belle in disbelief, thinking his mother had gone completely insane. My mothermust be out of her mind, or she wouldn't treat me like that. After all, he couldn't believe that his mother,who used to love and feel proud of him, would say something so mean to put him down.

"Enough with your nonsense! I don't want to hear a single word from you anymore!" Belle waved herhand and added, "There is one thing you're right about; I'm getting tired of all this. If you don't want togive me a heart attack, get your wife here and do as I say. That way, things between us can still end ona good note."

While Brian puckered his lips and struggled to speak, Mack snarled at him, feeling annoyed with whathe heard from Belle. "What are you waiting for?! Get Rachael here right now!"

In the meantime, Belle was seen with a bitter look on her wrinkled face, barely getting a hold of herselffrom the overwhelming anger that was taking a toll on her health. On the other hand, Mack couldn'thelp but feel worried for his subordinate. If anything ever happens to his own mother here, Brian isgoing to be condemned and criticized for a long time.

After all, while Mack was Brian's superior and mentor, his words carried so much weight that theysounded compelling to the latter. Therefore, Brian had no choice but to listen to Mack's words,whereupon he reached for his phone and gave Rachael a call, telling the latter to come and meet him.

An hour later, Rachael arrived and knocked on the door before she came in. When Brian saw her, hefelt his anger surging through him so overwhelmingly that he wanted to slap the woman. However, heclosed his eyes and did his best to suppress his anger, calming himself down. With a decent-lookingoutfit and makeup on her face, the lady smiled and politely greeted Mack, "Mr. Graham."

Meanwhile, Mack nodded in response with a darkened look on his face. At that moment, he wasdisgusted with Rachael for what she had done, thinking Brian must have entrusted her with the moneyto be transferred to Belle even though his subordinate didn't say so himself.

After all, a lot of them who worked in the research institute had hometowns far away, so they had nochoice but to entrust their families with their soulmates. Brian's surprised expression didn't seem to befake when he saw the bank book. In other words, it wasn't his idea to transfer only two thousand to hismother and son. Instead, it was Rachael's idea.

Although Mack wasn't into fashion brands, he could tell that Rachael's fancy outfit was probably wortha lot.

While Rachael's fancy outfit became an obvious contrast with Belle's ordinary-looking attire, shewalked in and only greeted Mack, making it seem as though her mother-in-law, Belle, wasn't around. Isshe really Mrs. Carter's daughter-in-law? Her attitude makes her seem more like the mother-in-lawinstead.

As a father himself, Mack knew raising a child was no easy task. In fact, he was aware that Brian'sfather had passed away when he was a child. Therefore, he could relate to Belle's difficulty in raisingtwo sons all by herself.

At the same time, he also felt sorry for her because of her disappointing son. After all, Brian only hadeyes for his wife ever since they got married. Furthermore, Belle had only ever seen her daughter-in-law once, but she never had the chance to meet her grandchildren.

Is this what any normal human would do? I guess I should be grateful that my son is not like her, or I

would probably react like Mrs. Carter and drive him away from home harshly.

Since he disapproved of Rachael's actions, Mack wasn't naturally happy with her. Both Mack andRachael's fathers were once senior and junior, he used to treat her as if she was his little sister.Therefore, when Rachael noticed the sudden change in Mack's attitude, she looked at Brian inconfusion.

On the other hand, Brian reacted with a disgusted expression on his face, feeling a strong sense ofloathsomeness within him about the lady's good looks that he used to replace attractive. Deep down, hecouldn't deny the love he once deeply had for her, or he wouldn't have married her.

Now that he had his eyes fixed upon her face, he couldn't help but feel disgusted about it. After all, hecouldn't believe that her good looks were just a front for her wicked heart. I trusted her promises thatshe would take good care of everything in our family, but what did she do in the end?

At the thought of that, Brian tossed the bank book into his wife's hands angrily.

Stunned by her husband's outrageous reaction, Rachael asked while flipping open the bank book,"What's wrong with you? Why are you so worked up?"

After skimming through those few pages, she stammered anxiously while saying, "W-What's themeaning of this, Brian?"

"What's the meaning of this?" Brian was exasperated. "After all the money I gave you and told you totransfer to my mom, you only gave her two thousand a month?! Does that amount of money seemenough to make ends meet for you?"

"Two thousand is more than enough, isn't it?" Rachael knitted her eyebrows and added, "Well, I askedaround not long ago and was told that people from a rural place like your hometown only made abouttwo to three thousand per month. Thus, I've been transferring Mom an average person's salary everymonth, so how is that not enough?"

"What kind of nonsense is that?" Brian snapped at his wife. "My mom is unemployed, and she is inpoor health, not to mention the fact that she still has to raise Alex. Tell me, how is two thousand goingto be enough for my mother to sustain her livelihood?"

"It's not like I have a choice here," answered Rachael bitterly. She continued to say, "Look, Brian. Larryand Lucy aren't exactly in good health either. I'm jobless as well, and it'd be burdensome for you tofeed all of us here. So, I just didn't think we had enough to give Mom."

The lady then turned her attention to Belle and said remorsefully, "Mom, we had to go in and out of thehospital back when Larry and Lucy were in much poorer health. With so many bills to pay, I have toadmit we didn't give you as much money as we should have. However, now that Larry and Lucy areolder, their health has improved, so I promise we'll transfer more money to you. Is that alright, Mom?"

"Don't call me that. I'm not your mom." Belle glared at Rachael and said coldly, "You're a rich family'sdaughter who belongs in Dusktown, but I'm just a peasant from the rural village. Who am I to be yourMom, eh?! Anyway, stop beating around the bush and show me how much fortune Brian and you have.After that, you can decide how much you want to give me and Alex, provided you still have aconscience. However, if you don't have one and intend to keep all the money, I suppose we'll bring thismatter to the court's attention and let the judge decide what to do!"

"What's wrong with you, Mom? Why are you talking to me like that?" Rachael looked at Belle insurprise and asked bitterly, "What have I done to be treated so harshly by you? Tell me; I'll be sure to

change and do better. In fact, I deserve some credit for bearing a son and a daughter for Brian, not tomention the money I transfer to you every month without fail. So, how does your accusation sound fairto me?"

"You want to talk about fairness now, eh?" Belle chuckled coldly and rose from her seat, seizingRachael's wrist before she opened the door and dragged her outside. In the meantime, a few otherworkers were gossiping and standing at the end of the corridor when they saw what happened.

As they noticed the old lady grasping Rachael's wrist and stomping off out of the director's office, theyimmediately came closer to investigate the commotion out of curiosity. On the other hand, Belle heldRachael's wrist tightly and dragged her to the bystanders around her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Brian Carter's mother, as well as Rachael Vasquez's mother-in-law. Rightnow, I'd like to tell everyone about my situation and implore you all to be the judge of it. My son had awife named Yuri Vickers before he married Rachael. We were poor people who lived in the mountains.Back then, Brian was entering his senior high school years, but I couldn't afford the fees at all.Fortunately, Yuri paid all of Brian's tuition fees with her prize money, which was the reason he managedto continue his study into his senior high school years…"
