Allison cried and made a scene in front of Tracy. She had been spoiled by her parents and elder brother since she was young, so she had never felt so wrongly.
"Allison, you may be unreasonable at home, but how can you treat Richard's parent like this? You have to learn enduring and playing nice. I have told you many times that Richard's family doesn't like you because you are too arrogant." Tracy looked at her daughter, feeling sorry for her.
"Mom, what should I do now? Andy doesn't like me, and even Richard doesn't want me. Am I a loser?" Allison's tears washed away some of the ointment on her face, so she looked hilarious.
"Don't worry. Andy has never liked you. Let's not talk about him. Richard has always been loving you so much. Maybe he purposely got married to enrage you. As long as you do as I say, he'll definitely come back to you." Tracy was confident in her daughter.
Richard even overcame his fear of height and climbed up a tree to pick a flower for Allison. Everyone knew how much Richard loved Allison.
"Mom, I will definitely listen to you. I won't be willful anymore." Allison was now very obedient. She wanted to snatch Richard back from Amy.

"Mom, let me drive Amy and you home," Richard said to Cathy.
"I don't have the honor. Don't bother with us. Amy, let's go shopping. Every time I'm unhappy, I want to go shopping. Let's go and spend money!" Cathy was still angry with Richard.
Cathy thought Richard had no backbone. Back then, Allison abandoned him and went abroad to learn dancing. But no one knew what exactly she was doing over there. Now she returned, and Richard even showed her excessive attention and care. Cathy was mad at him.
Richard looked helpless as his mother pulled Amy away. Amy did not even look back. It seemed that both of them were angry.
But how would he explain it to them? Forget it. Richard looked at his watch. He really had a meeting this afternoon, so he got in the car and went back to the company.
"Amy, don't be angry with Richard. My son is inflexible. If you are angry with him, beat him up. Don't hold back your anger. It's no good for your health! Women can't be angry. Otherwise, she won't be beautiful. By the way, do you see Allison's face just now? So funny!" After suppressing her laughter for a long time, Cathy finally laughed out loud. She was cheered up.
Amy also wanted to laugh, but she felt that it wasn't proper. So, she just smiled.
"Mrs. Newell! What a lucky day to meet you here!" Cathy was talking to Amy when she turned around and saw the graceful Mrs. Newell!
Amy followed the voice and looked over. A beautiful lady was looking at them.
Hearing that Cathy was greeting her, Mrs. Newell smiled and walked towards Amy and Cathy.
"Mrs. Carter, long time no see." Mrs. Newell smiled and greeted Cathy, then nodded to Amy.
"Mrs. Newell, you're getting more and more beautiful. This is my daughter-in-law, Amy Miller. Amy, this is Mrs. Newell." Cathy introduced Mrs. Newell and Amy to each other.
They walked around the mall for a while. Mrs. Newell bought a lot of things, and Cathy bought a lot for Amy. But Amy didn't want them, so Cathy kept telling her.
"Amy, don't save money. The more you spend, the more motivated Richard gets to earn money. So you must learn how to spend money! Look at these scarves. They are priced at 1, 800, 3, 600, and 8, 800. You shouldn't hesitate to buy the one worth 8, 800!" As she spoke, Cathy asked the saleswoman to pack up the one worth 8800.
"Madame, someone is looking for you over there. Please come over." Someone wanted to talk with Mrs. Newell before she bought everything she wanted.
"Go on with your shopping please. Excuse me for a moment." Mrs. Newell handed the things in her hand to the saleswoman. She said goodbye to Amy and Cathy and then left.
"Amy, look at Mrs. Newell. She knows how to use money. She chose limited edition items. That's your good example! By the way, I think you look a little like Mrs. Newell!" Cathy said casually, and Amy did not take it to heart.
They continued shopping. To be exact, Cathy bought many more. Then, they went to get the bill.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Carter and Ms. Miller, your bills have been paid," The cashier said politely to them.
"What?" Cathy was surprised. Looking around, she didn't see anyone she knew.
"Mrs. Newell paid the bills. Mrs. Carter, Ms. Miller, let me help you take out the things." The saleswoman enthusiastically helped them take their things out.
