“Haha, don’t worry mom. I mean what I said! Take this money for Selena’s groceries and register Kylie for school!” Fane said while laughing.
Fiona scoffed. “Hmph, as long as you’re aware of it!”
Before the cash was picked up, a young man unexpectedly walked in with a young girl who had a tattoo on her arm.
They both seemed like they were about 18 or 19 years old.
The young man had blonde hair with an ear-piercing. It was an ear stud.
“Wow, that’s a lot of cash!”
The young man ran over upon seeing the cash. He picked it up and said excitedly, “God, this is a lot! There’s some in the bag as well. There must be a million bucks here, right? I haven’t seen this much money in a long time!”
“Who are you? Put it down!”
Seeing the young man’s face angered Fane. He stared straight at the man and spoke coldly.
“You, who are you?”
The young man looked back at Fane and was so shocked by Fane’s sharp gaze that he dropped the cash he was holding onto.
“Fane, what are you getting angry about? Don’t you recognize Ben anymore?”
Fiona glared at Fane.
“Xena, who are you to say that? I was drunk that night but I knew for a fact that I made the first move. I was angry at Grandpa for treating our marriage like a deal!”
“It was my fault. I was too naive, and I caused mom, dad, and my brother to live frugally with me for the past five years. I’ll try my best to make it up to them from now on but it has already happened and I’ve taken responsibility for it. You can’t blame Fane for this!”
Selena could not take it anymore after hearing what Xena said. She looked at her in the eye and said, “No matter what, this is my family’s business, You’re nobody to butt in, are you?”
“Ben, look, look at your sister. She’s saying that I’m a nobody. I’ve yet to marry you and she’s already this mean to me. When I marry you in the future, who knows how she’ll treat me then?”
Xena was pissed. She tugged on Ben’s arm with her hands and threw a tantrum.
“Sister, what are you talking about? Xena is my girlfriend. Although she hasn’t married me yet, it will happen sooner or later. We’ll be family in the future. How could you say that to her?”
