Edith said, "That... I really can't say. After all, none of us have ever seen your sister's marriage certificate!"
Edith pondered. "Initially, Steffen wanted to get her ID from our house. Since Steffen represents Mr. Riley and the Riley family, your father and I had no choice but to comply. Later, when he returned the ID, we had no way of verifying her marital status."
Viola narrowed her eyes slightly. Mom, don't you think it's possible that my sister conspired with Mr. Riley? They pretended to get married so that she could move out of the house. In reality, they might not have married at all. That's why we didn't receive any bride price, and those claims about land were all nonsense. We haven't seen any of it!"
"Right!" Edith thought it made sense, but then became skeptical again. "Then your sister living over there..."
"Didn't that woman just say it? She's borrowing the place! Old Mr. and Mrs. Riley have always liked my sister, probably asking Mr. Riley to protect her. The incident with Mr. Baker was so embarrassing."
Edith nodded. "But what about buying that store?"
"Mom, how can you not understand?! Look, did Mr. Riley give my sister clothes?"
"No! It was all talk! All for show!
"Moreover, businessmen prioritize profits. Investing in a luxury shop is a guaranteed profit!
"It's not really an investment for my sister.
"Even if it truly was for my sister, I guess the most she could be to him is a mistress."
"Yeah, Viola, you're absolutely right."
Viola snorted lightly. "I thought my sister had married into the Riley family. Turns out she's just staying there temporarily!"
Edith agreed. "Yes, how could your sister be so lucky!"
...
On the other hand, after Edith and her daughter left, Olivia also left the luxury shop. She waited impatiently in Bay Hall for Adeline's return.
As she waited, she sent a message to her elder brother Logan: "Logan, I want to ask you, have you ever given Adeline a card?"
Logan was taken aback: "What card?"
"Bank cards, like a secondary credit card!" Olivia said, a bit excited.
"No, Adeline doesn't need these things."
"Then does Adeline know about your dividend card?" Olivia continued to ask.
"Hmm, Mom said we are not married yet, so there's no need to tell Adeline. For a while, mom even took my card. But I barely touched the money on that card.
"Other than buying bags for you and mom last year, I borrowed some money to help Jodie's parents build a house in the countryside. That's all.
"The money is saved, planning to use it after marrying Adeline."
Olivia was speechless: "Logan, if I were your wife, I would have an affair, you know?"
Logan chuckled: "Adeline isn't as materialistic and realistic as you."
"Logan, forget about materialistic or not. Which woman doesn't want her boyfriend to give her a card! It's a sign of trust!
"Moreover, you haven't spent any money on Adeline with that card, but you've lent money to that Jodie?!"
"Olivia! Don't speak ill of Jodie! Her family is having difficulties. I lent her the money, not gave it!" Logan's tone became a bit harsher. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Olivia rolled her eyes: "My dear brother, how has Adeline not dumped you for being like this! You don't even know... I thought the dividend card was with Adeline, today... I..."
Olivia told him about the incident today in a fragmented way.
Logan furrowed his brows: "Why has Adeline's relationship with her family become so bad?"
