?Chapter 1527:
She threw a nce at the luxury sedan parked at the curb, noticing the driver waiting nearby. Clearly, the Harpers were treating her daughter well.
Her curiosity red. “You changed your car. Is this one yours?”
The maid stepped up and took the grocery bags with a polite smile. “You two catch up. I’ll get started on dinner.”
Sandra fell in step with her mom, replying, “I’ve been buried in design work. The car isn’t really mine, but the Harper family lets me use all of their cars now. Dad has even started treating me like I belong.”
Keira hardly seemed to care about the details, just delighted for her daughter. “That’s what I’m talking about! Enjoy the perks, honey.”
As they passed the car, Keira shot the driver a little wave. “That guy’s the personal driver the Harpers arranged for you?”
Sandra decided not to mention her recent incident, not wanting to make her mom worry. “Yeah, he’s both my driver and bodyguard,” she answered.
But it didn’t take long for Keira to fall back into old patterns.
“Has Shepard handed you any money yet?”
One look at her mother’s expectant expression and Sandra knew what wasing. If she told the truth about her new allowance, Keira would be asking her for money in no time. So she lied, “Not really. But Brenna’s taking me shopping tomorrow. She’ll probably spoil me with a few new outfits.”
Keira’s expression sank, the disappointment in on her face. “What a stingy jerk, can’t even bother giving…”
you a little spending money. Oh well. When you and Brenna go out tomorrow, pick up something for me too, alright?”
Sandra gave a warm nod, assuring Keira she would buy her some new outfits.
“Alright, tell me about the nanny,” Sandra said, her voice tinged with concern.
“She is fantastic. She cooks delicious meals, chats easily with me, and works tirelessly. Honestly, I would give anything to live in a grand mansion like the Harpers,” Keira replied, her eyes sparkling with envy.

She looked at Sandra, a swell of pride in her heart, thinking that bringing Sandra into the world was her greatest achievement.
After a pause, she continued, “By the way, I ran into Corinna’s son yesterday. He mentioned Corinna still hasn’t returned. Do you think something terrible happened to her? I mean, Corinna isn’t all bad…”
Sandra cut Keira off, her voice sharp with anger. “Hasn’t she caused you enough trouble? If she hadn’t egged you on to gamble abroad, would you have lost your hand? She is reaping what she sowed.”
Keira nced at the empty space where her left hand had once been, nodding slowly. Corinna’s intentions had always been questionable.
“You’re right,” she admitted. “If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have gone overseas to gamble and lost my hand. Sandra, I swear I’m done with gambling. If only I hadn’t lost that eleven million…”
