A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 108: Not Ending Up Like Me.

"I should have known your intentions were never pure. It felt too good to be true," Angela said, shaking her head. She had foolishly hoped that her mother cared, even just a little. Her heart twisted painfully when Grace revealed the real reason she came.

She tried to hold back the heat burning in her eyes. They stung so badly, and she knew the tears would spill soon if she let them. She had to keep them in, no matter what.

"Are you trying to make me look bad now? Stop it," Grace said, sounding surprised. She could not believe her daughter expected her to forget about the money and never come for it. "What did I tell you the day you left the house? Don’t mess with my balance. You know how much I value my money, Angela. You of all people should know."
