?Chapter 1427:


    “How is it going? Are the Harpers treating you well?” Keira’s voice was eager,ced with the tter of a card game in the background. “How much pocket money did they give you?”


    Sandra was fully aware that once Keira had money, she would gamble it away and thene to her asking for more.


    “Money, money, money! That’s all you think about! Mom, can’t you quit gambling? Eleven million is enough for you to livefortably forever. But if you keep gambling, you will lose it all,” Sandra snapped, exasperated.


    Keira brushed her words off. “Don’t curse my luck. I’m on a hot streak—won several rounds already. Now tell me, how much did they give you?”


    “I didn’t get any money at all. They said Harper children don’t get pocket money after they’ve grown up.” Sandra felt the Harper family’s cold attitude toward her. They were fully aware that she didn’t have any money but still offered her nothing.


    “What? Not a single penny?” Keira’s tone sharpened. “You’re not lying to keep the money from me, are you?”<fn3c3d> This update is avable on f?ndnovel</fn3c3d>


    Sandra’s voice crackled with frustration as she snapped, “You took eleven million already. Isn’t that enough?” With that, she abruptly ended the call.


    Keira stared at the dead line, her irritation spilling over as she turned to the ones who were ying cards with her. “Can you believe her? Barely a day with the Harper family, and she’s already bold enough to hang up on me, acting like I’m some nuisance despite everything I’ve done for her. Without me, would she be living this cushy life?”


    One of the women at the table shrugged. “Why let it get to you? Money’s what counts. When ites to family, don’t stress too much. As you get older, cash is more dependable than kin.”


    Another woman nodded in agreement. “Exactly. When you have money, your kids wille running. Without it, they won’t even nce your way.”


    Keira let out a heavy sigh. “You’re right. Back when I had ways to pull in money, my daughter was on the phone with me constantly, doing whatever I asked. Now that she’s a Harper, she has tossed me aside.”

    “You’re being too hard on her. She’s barely settled into that family, and you’re already hitting her up for cash. No wonder she’s upset.”


    Keira scoffed, her tone sharp. “So now I’m supposed to tiptoe around her moods?”


    “Of course,” one replied. “What did you expect?”


    Sandra, brushing Keira from her thoughts, slipped into the shoes Brenna had gifted her, trying them on with various outfits and studying her reflection in the mirror. She looked stunning in everything. The only problem was that she didn’t have any money.


    A soft sigh escaped her lips. Squeezing money out of the Harper family was no easy feat. Her needs for food, drink, and essentials were met, but the absence of money in her hands gnawed at her.


    After mulling it over, Sandra resolved to ask Shepard tomorrow about securing a job at the Harper Group. But then she recalled his earlier stance—he didn’t want her working there. As a neer to the family, she decided not to stir up trouble so soon.


    The next morning, after sharing breakfast with the family, Sandra grabbed her bag and stepped out.
