A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 221

Tiffany’s voice choked a little at the end. In order to hold back her tears, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one go. Fortunately, she was no stranger to wine and had drank her fair share of alcohol in the past. Being able to hold her liquor at least allowed her to work in this kind of place.

Jackson also felt that he was getting a little emotional tonight. He took a deep breath and softened his voice. “You can treat me as a stranger and just tell me whatever you want.”

Tiffany drank the wine that Jackson paid for as she muttered, “Alright, I’ll tell you if you want to hear it. It’s true that my family no longer needs to pay off any debts now, but I’m still as broke as a church mouse. After my ex-boyfriend broke up with me, he returned all the money I spent on him when we were dating. It was close to $300,000. That’s a lot of money for me. I was hoping to save enough money one day and buy a house in a good location. But my mom spent all that in just the blink of an eye.

“My mother never suffered any hardships in her life and she’s used to living a lavish life. I am so tired from work every day and I still have to cook for her, do the laundry, and clean the house. I’m as tired as a dog everyday while she has no qualms about buying luxury goods and gambling away my money. She was even delusional enough to try to marry me off to a slightly wealthy man. Not only that, she could actually bring herself to set me up on a blind date with a divorced man with a lousy character!

“Every time I get my salary, my mom cries and asks me for money. If I don’t give into her, she starves herself. She could starve herself for three days! How am I going to support her and myself if I don’t do this kind of job? Rent is a few hundred dollars a month. I can’t see light at the end of the tunnel no matter how hard I work… Might as well die with my dad.”

“Don’t say such silly things,” Jackson frowned at her.

Tiffany rolled her eyes at him. “I’m saying that my mom might as well die with my dad! I’m not the one who deserves to die! My mom had been in my dad’s care for all her life. Her bad habits were all my dad’s fault. Why did he burden me with her instead of taking her away with him?”

Jackson was instantly rendered speechless. He could never figure out how Tiffany’s brain worked...
