I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 62

apter 62 Unwelcome Calls

Finished

The weekend she had been looking forward to was disrupted by an unexpected call. “You ungrateful child, have you blocked me? I wasted my time raising you!”

Ellis hadn’t blocked unknown numbers due to her job’s need to interface with various people, and she hadn’t anticipated any trouble before taking this call

As soon as she answered, Carly’s scolding hit her, and she fell silent. “Don’t you play dead with me!”

Carly had spent two days waiting at Hudson Group without catching Easton and was continually hassled for money, leaving her frazzled. When she tried to reach out to her foster daughter. Ellis’s number was unreachable.

Something was clearly off, so she tried a different number and got through immediately, only to realize that Ellis had blocked her. Thus, Carly couldn’t help but unleash her frustration on her foster daughter.

“Ms. Carly. I haven’t done anything wrong. You keep scolding me, and I don’t want to be yelled at, so I temporarily blocked

you

Ellis was living her life the way she wanted, not wanting to be berated or forced into things by Carly, nor treated like a tool. Cutting off contact with Carly was a last resort.

“After all I’ve done raising you, is this how you show no manners or gratitude to me?” Carly felt like pointing directly at Ellis and scolding her.

Whether Carly was trying to guilt her or not. Ellis didn’t care to judge. She steeled her mind against Carly’s words, which might make her doubt herself as an ingrate.

“If you’re just going to ask me to make up with Easton again, then this call doesn’t need to continue,” Ellis said calmly.

Trying to prevent Ellis from hanging up, Carly’s tone softened slightly. “The Hudson family fund has stopped the monthly payments to me and is asking for the past two years‘ money back. I don’t have the funds to return it. Either you find a way to get Easton to resume the payments, or you send me the money”

Theoretically, as Mrs. Hudson, Ellis should have some control over the Hudson family assets, but Easton was always wary of her. She didn’t know exactly how much he had, nor did he give her money directly, she used his supplementary card for expenses and had no clue how the Hudson family fund operated.

Carly’s demands were beyond her reach, and Ellis stated plainly. “Auntie, I can’t handle Easton, and I don’t have the money to give you

“I don’t need much, just 28 million,” Carly wasn’t shooting blindly; she had estimated the funds Ellis might have and what she needed herself.

“Easton never gave me a penny of his own money, I used to spend using his supplementary card, but last month he took it back. I don’t even have 28,000 dollars in my account, let alone 28 million, I have to work outside to support myself.”

Carly was utterly shocked by her nephew’s tactics, “When he gave you the card, didn’t you cash out?”

It wasn’t that she was following Carly’s lead; rather, after marrying Easton, her mind was filled with thoughts of forever and always, focusing only on when Easton would fall in love with her or worrying about other women stealing him. She paid little attention to anything else and certainly didn’t think to secure Easton’s money in her own account.

“You fool!” Carly scolded, feeling like she was dealing with a hopeless case, “Can’t you take a few valuable items from home and sell them to help me get through this crisis?”
