Love Unspoken

Chapter 136

Tears streamed down Juliet's cheeks as she spoke, her voice trembling with emotion. "After carrying you for nine months, I should give birth to a monster like you. It's my karma!" she cried.

Her words echoed through the room, "Look at the house you live in, the clothes you wear, the car you drive, all leeched off of me! Yet you're still unsatisfied. How dare you want five million, you damned ingrate? You'll get what's coming to you, sooner or later!"

In recent days, Ariel had subjected her to a life of indignity. She was relegated to sleeping on the couch, huddled under a tattered blanket. Her meals were served on a dish set aside solely for her, and she was not permitted to join the family at the table until they had finished eating. Juliet could bear all that, but what truly chilled her heart was the sight of her own son treating her with such disdain. Her grandson, too, was equally cold and indifferent, taking his father's cruel behavior as the norm. She found herself questioning what kind of thankless brood she had raised.

Ariel interrupted her with a bark, "Shut up! Go back to cooking and stop your nagging." Juliet, hunched over and weary, locked eyes with Ariel and then glanced at Quinn. Her gaze held a trace of resolve. "Ariel, you won't see a dime when I'm gone," she declared.

Ariel's face paled at her words, and Quinn abruptly stood up. "What the hell are you talking about?" Ariel demanded. "I've lived enough already," Juliet replied, her voice steady. "If you dare to ask Quinn for money again, I swear I'll end my life right at your doorstep. That's going to ruin your son's wedding. If I die, you're nothing but a murderer! I wish they'd lock you up!"

A surge of anger washed over Ariel, but he restrained himself from lashing out. It was then that Nicholas stood up. "Ariel, there's something I must inform you," he said, his voice calm and steady.
