Chapter 853

“Isn’t there already enough gossip about us? What do you think people will say if we split the family now?” Rebecca snapped, fuming.

“It’s your sins that brought this upon us! Why should I suffer alongside you? We’re separating the family! When the men come home tonight, we’ll sit down together and discuss how to divide things up.”

“You’re being utterly unreasonable! How can we separate now? The money’s gone, the properties are gone. -what do we have left to divide?”
