When Mrs. Shell heard Kimberly's words, she gave her a strange look without responding.

Kimberly took out her mobile phone, mentioning, "I'll call the police now."

"Don't call the police!" Mrs. Shell grabbed her hand, crying out in panic, "It's useless to call the police. They may have already gone by then!"

"Well, if someone runs away with a lump sum of money, it is considered theft. It's perfectly alright to call the police. Let them deal with this matter. "When Kimberly was ready to make the call, Mrs. Shell quickly grabbed her mobile phone, feeling extremely terrified.

"Don't contact the police!"

At last, Mr. Shell couldn't bear it and he came out of the room at once. "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. That money was entirely lost by her through gambling!"

"Stop it!" Mrs. Shell was terribly furious, trying to stop him from spilling the beans. Mr. Shell shoved her away, saying, "What's wrong with me telling the truth? Don't you think that you have heavily cheated Kimberly? Previously how did you get that three hundred thousand dollars? Now that you have lost all your money, do you still want to con her into it? It'd be better if you just take her life!"

Kimberly was lost for words. She was dumbstruck witnessing this scene.

The situation in the family became worse over the years. She stood before Mrs. Shell numbly, querying indifferently, "Mom, since when did you get addicted to gambling?

Mrs. Shell lowered her eyes to avoid her gaze, hesitating to answer.

"Recently I thought that we are going to be wealthy, as you have married into the Yardley family. Hence, I went around bragging and at last got cheated by others."

Kimberly was tongue- tied. "So the reason you borrowed three hundred thousand dollars from me earlier on was due to losses in gambling as well?"

Mrs. Shell remained silent, feeling remorseful for her actions.
