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.

"You're asking for 100,000 dollars. Isn't that the same as asking for my life?" Kimberly asked.

Mrs. Shell was speechless for a moment before she tried to bargain, "Fine! How about 50,000 dollars? Even 30,000 dollars is fine!"

Kimberly scoffed, "Mother, you think too highly of

me.

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!"

Kimberly didn't say anything, but she unconsciously clenched her fists tightly. She bit her lip and ignored everyone on the street who was giving her strange and judgemental looks.

She didn't care about what other people thought of her anymore.

She really didn't have the money to give Mrs. Shell.

"Say something!" Mrs. Shell stepped forward and tugged at her clothes, saying, "Look at what you own now! Because of me, you get to enjoy all these nice things! You are such an ungrateful person. How can you ignore your parents when you are living a good life now?"

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.
