Chapter 662

The moment he heard that, Tyler dropped the act, stopped

pretending to cry, and stepped directly into Tiffany's path.

"Exactly. Dad's right." His tone carried complete conviction. "Sis,

you can't be this selfish."

Father and son wore the same expression, so alike that Tiffany

almost laughed, but she could not. After all, those two

shameless men were her father and her brother.

For a brief moment, even breathing felt difficult. She could not

understand what kind of sin she must have committed in a past

life to end up with relatives like them.

She drew a long, steady breath. Then she gave up on leaving,

turned back, and fixed her gaze on Stanley. "You really don't

know whether | have money after all these years of working? Or

whether I've been stingy with this family?”

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to Mabel. "If he doesn't

know, you should."

Ever since she started working, she had transferred 1,000

dollars to Mabel every month, without fail. Add in holidays,

illnesses, and other expenses over the years, and for an ordinary

person, the total was already substantial.

As for how the money was spent, she had never asked.

Mabel clearly hadn't expected her to bring this up. Guilt flickered

across her face as she avoided Tiffany's eyes. "Tiff, I... | definitely

She hadn't finished speaking when Stanley nearly leaped off the

bed.

“What do you mean by that?" he demanded, turning on Mabel

through clenched teeth. "That damned girl's been giving you

money behind my back?"

He truly hadn't known. That part genuinely surprised Tiffany. She

hadn't expected Mabel to stay silent all this time and never

mention a word.

This time, Tiffany really did laugh. "Not only did she take it, but

she also took a lot. Before | gave her anything, | made it clear

with Ms. Clark here that every payment counted as advance

support. As of this month, it's all paid off.”

Before Stanley could explode again, she cut him off coldly, We

signed an agreement. Even if you regret it now, it's too late.”

Stanley nearly choked on his rage. He lunged off the bed and

roared at her, jabbing a finger in her face.

“Do you have any conscience at all? We raised you, paid for your

university, paid for you to study law, and this is how you use it?

Against your own family?”

“Paid for me?" Tiffany let out a mocking laugh, as if she had just

heard the darkest joke. “Did you forget? The family never agreed

to let me go to university. | applied for student loans myself, and

| paid them back myself.”

A flicker of discomfort crossed Stanley's face. Then he turned

on Mabel. "Is what she said true?"

"When the time came, the family had to support Tyler, so she

really did pay for herself—"

Mabel hadn't finished when Stanley snapped, "I'm not asking

about that. I'm asking whether she gave you money. Is that true?”

Mabel stiffened. She wanted to deny it, but Tiffany kept

watching her, steady and unblinking, and the words would not

come.

Stanley got his answer immediately. In two strides, he grabbed

her by the collar. "Where is the money? How much has that

damned girl given you behind my back all these years?"

Mabel flinched, startled, but couldn't get a word out.

“You didn't give it to some other man, did you?" Stanley roared. "

If you dared cheat on me..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Mabel finally snapped

She shoved him away and blurted everything out in desperation. "

| gave it all to Tyler. | used it to pay off his debts. If | hadn't

already paid that much, what he owed would be far more than

400,000 dollars by now."

Most people, faced with their parents shoving and hitting each

other like this, would have rushed in to break it up. But Tiffany

remained where she stood. She watched calmly, like a stranger

observing someone else's life.
