Mrs. Shell stared at Kimberly dazedly for a long time.

Then, she gasped exasperatedly, "You... Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Kimberly simply stood still and stared at her.

Mrs. Shell refuted, "Kimberly, I raised you! Is this how you repay your mother? I'm asking for only a few thousand dollars, can't you give me that? You're so unfilial!"

Mrs. Shell scolded her loudly. Kimberly closed her eyes and tried to ignore her mother, simply letting her tug at her clothes.

All of a sudden, a pair of big hands pulled her away from Mrs. Shell.

"Auntie, please stop." Kimberly heard a warm voice coming from above her. She opened her eyes and looked up blankly at that person.

It was Benedict.

Mrs. Shell flashed a flattering smile and said without waiting for a reply, "The thing is, my family is facing some difficulties, so I wanted to borrow some money from Kimberly.
