Chapter 882
Jade Barlow’s wife just got back from picking up the kids from tutoring and found Skyler pacing the living room. The table was still littered with leftover snacks and dinner from the night before, untouched.
Feeling irritated, she ushered the kids upstairs and headed straight to Skyler, struggling to contain her anger. “Skyler, didn’t I specifically ask you to clean this up before I left? Why does it still look like this?”
Skyler harbored a deep dislike for her sister–in–law. If the Barlow family weren’t facing financial difficulties, her brother would never have married such a petty woman. Not only was she excessively critical, but she also constantly tried to persuade Jade Barlow to kick Skyler out
Wasn’t it Skyler’s financial support that allowed the family to live comfortably now? However, she couldn’t retaliate in that moment
Skyler extended her hand, stating, “I accidentally hurt myself and can’t come into contact with water Let’s wait for the maid to clean it up”
Her sister–in–law caught sight of the minor wound and couldn’t help but snicker.
Indeed, a wound like that shouldn’t be exposed to water What if it was revealed that the wound had already healed?
“We need the maid to rest too. Without her, do we just stop living?”
Skyler said, “We can hire two maids to work in shifts.”
“Two maids?” She laughed and looked at her, “Who’s gonna pay the second maid’s salary, you?”
Skyler frowned, “Didn’t I give you money a few months ago? Shouldn’t that be enough to hire another maid?”
“Wasn’t it just a few months ago?” Her sister–in–law chuckled. “Why don’t you consider using the money you gave us last year to hire a maid? Let me break it down for you. You previously gave Jade Barlow $200,000. When your daughter was traveling, she contacted Jade Barlow who transferred her $50,000. Then, for your birthday celebration with your wealthy friends, Jade assisted in booking the restaurant, which cost $137,000. You mentioned that you would reimburse us once your accounts were settled, but we haven’t received a single penny yet.
Remember when you insisted on buying an expensive gift for your mother–in–law’s birthday to avoid embarrassment? We ended up spending over $300,000 on a painting, but you never reimbursed us for that either. Since you returned, it feels like you’ve been relying on our money. Your daily consumption of pricey health supplements, costing hundreds each time, is happening twice a day. Your living expenses for these ten days exceed our family’s monthly expenses. Can you please explain where the funds for hiring a maid are supposed to come from?”
The more Skyler heard, the worse her expression became.
“Is it about money? The Reed family is loaded, do I need your money?”
Her sister–in–law gave her a look, “Ha, what does the Reed family’s wealth have to do with you? You’ve been kicked out, don’t you get your predicament yet?”
Skyler was infuriated, unable to keep her cool. She raised her hand and slapped her, “Who the hell are you? What gives you the right to criticize me? Isn’t every penny you spend given by me?”
Her sister–in–law was stunned by the slap from Skyler, she didn’t expect Skyler to slap her. In that moment, she too was seething with anger, and started to fight back
Her family used to run a slaughterhouse, so she was pretty strong. Compared to a pampered lady like Skyler, they weren’t even in the same league. It didn’t take long for Skyler to be pinned on the ground and beaten up by her.
