?Chapter 626:


    “A lot has happened recently. She came to my home once and left. I didn’t expect her toe back again,” Eileen replied. She didn’t think the rumors would have spread so widely just because Denise had visited once. Eileen believed Denise must have been stirring up trouble regrly to keep those older women gossiping about Ruby and her.


    In the restaurant, Judie, who had just finished taking orders from the customers, couldn’t help but frown when she saw Roderick running out after Eileen and Bryan.


    “Judie, can I have a word with you?” Denise asked, not daring to confront Roderick directly. She approached Judie to discuss the matter.


    Judie responded with frustration, “What’s the point of discussing this with me? If you have concerns, you should speak directly with your son. After all, he makes the decisions, not me.”


    Denise shot back, “Listen to yourself. You’re clearly unhappy with him too, aren’t you? Roderick is straightforward but naive, and that’s why he’s being taken advantage of by Eileen.”


    Judie, while organizing the money on the counter, remained silent, waiting for Denise to borate further.


    Denise continued, “Even though Eileen is technically meeting her legal obligations, morally, what she’s doing is insufficient. Two thousand a month is a mere pittance for her. She clearly doesn’t consider me important.”


    “What are you getting at?” Judie nced anxiously towards the door, worried that Roderick might return.


    Denise lowered her voice and suggested, “Tell Eileen to buy a vi for the baby you’re carrying. I don’t want the two thousand a month anymore. A vi would be a good way to silence me and sever my ties with her. Doesn’t that sound reasonable?”


    Judie’s eyes widened in interest.


    A vi? Such a purchase would run into the tens of millions. They had recently earned some money, but it was still nowhere near enough. It seemed Eileen was quite irritated with Denise. If parting ways could be achieved with a price tag in the tens of millions… would Eileen agree?

    “I can’t help you with this. You’ll need to negotiate directly with Eileen,” Judie said.


    Denise quickly replied, “You don’t have to get involved. I don’t want to jeopardize your rtionship with Roderick. Just act as if you know nothing and let me leave sometimes. Otherwise, I’ll be stuck in the restaurant every day…”


    Judie realized something and gently took Denise’s arm, smiling. “Mom, you’re getting older. I’ve been concerned about you, especially since you’ve been burning the midnight oil with us. I’ll hire a waiter for the restaurant soon so that you can rest at home for a bit. Besides, once we buy the vi, we’ll need a housekeeper for therge space. I can’t manage that myself since I’m pregnant. You don’t need to worry about work anymore—just stay home and rx.”


    It was Denise who needed to request the vi from Eileen. Therefore, it was essential to make Denise happy first.


    “Okay,” Denise replied.


    Judie had initially nned to buy a three-bedroom house, but with Denise now suggesting a grand vi, her spirits lifted.


    In the past, when Judie and Roderick had wanted to buy a house, Eileen had refused to help them. Back then, the house had only cost two million. Eileen might not have had so many issues with them now if she had just bought it for them back then.


    Now, it seemed Eileen had iting!


    Bryan waste for his hospital appointment. He was supposed to return for an injection at three o’clock but didn’t show up until five.
