Chapter 4

Silvia Wilson didn’t think anything was wrong: “I am her mother, I gave birth to her and raised her, what’s wrong with me taking a painting of hers? If it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t even have the qualification to be born.
She dares to be rude to me, she’s out of line! But I never thought that Tina Wilson’s crappy paintings could sell for over a million. If I had known, I would have brought back a few more, then your dowry would have been worth several million more.”

Vera Wilson’s face darkened and she said, “Mom, listen to me analyze it. If you think it makes sense, next time don’t act impulsively, okay?”

“Go ahead.”

“I’m getting married to Owen Harris next month. Although Tina Wilson isn’t of much use, she’s our long-term meal ticket and much more reliable than my dad. My dad worked his whole life and still doesn’t have the ability to buy another house, but Tina Wilson is different.

She’s been paying off a house near the city center for a few years now, and we can’t predict how much money she’ll make in the future. Even if you don’t like her, don’t provoke her for now, otherwise where will we get the money from in the future?”

“Do you think Tina Wilson is doing some shady business to earn so much money? If she’s doing something that will affect your marriage, your husband’s family will look down on you.”

“With Tina Wilson’s frigid personality, no one wants to cooperate with her even if she wants to do something. Owen Harris said that just looking at her makes him nauseous, she has no sexual appeal, men like women like me.”

Silvia Wilson lovingly stroked her daughter’s hair and said, “My daughter is so good, who wouldn’t like her. As for Tina Wilson, the jinx who almost took my life when she was born, she deserves to be alone for the rest of her life.”

Vera Wilson affectionately hugged Silvia Wilson’s neck and coquettishly said, “Mom, how much money do we have in our family now? I saw a villa today that only requires a down payment of two million and comes with a yard and two hundred square meters. If I have a villa, I will definitely have face when I marry into the Harris Family. Can you buy it for me?”

Silvia Wilson looked hesitant and said, “Vera, we only have three hundred thousand in savings for these years. Your father is sick again, so we need to keep at least one hundred thousand for emergencies. We only have two hundred thousand left, plus the one million five hundred thousand we got from selling Tina Wilson’s design today.
It’s not enough at all. If you really want to wait for the dowry from the Harris Family, can’t you buy the villa then? You can’t marry into the family and still owe millions.”

“But the people from the Harris Family will look down on me.”

“But there is really no way.”

Disappointment flashed in Silvia Wilson’s eyes.

She let go of Vera Wilson’s hand and said coldly, “Mom, do you think I bought the villa for myself? Isn’t it for you and your father? You are getting older and I, as a daughter, also want you to live better. With a villa, you can occasionally go and stay there to change your mood. It’s so good. It’s also very face-saving to say it out loud.”

Vera Wilson said “occasionally go and stay there,” but Silvia Wilson didn’t hear it and frowned, “But we still need thirty thousand more. Where can we get it from?”

“That’s up to you to figure out. Mom, think about where else we have money. It’s getting late, I have to go out on a date with Owen Harris.” Vera Wilson ran back to her room with her limited edition LV bag.

Silvia Wilson sat in the living room, thinking hard about where to get the thirty thousand from.

As she thought, she couldn’t help but curse, “That bitch Tina Wilson. If I had known her design was so valuable, I would have taken more of them. I could have made money by selling them and could have raised the money for Vera’s villa.”
