A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0168

Arianne snorted softly. “It’s a stray cat that I picked up. Mark didn’t allow me to keep it, but I insisted otherwise. After we fought several times, he agreed to allow me to keep it in the yard. I only let it come into the house when he isn’t home.”

Tiffany gave her a thumbs up. “You are freaking awesome for having the guts to fight with Mark I didn’t expect you to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Not wanting to talk about Mark anymore, Arianne changed the subject. “So, what is this about you having a lot to grumble about and your blood boiling at the mention of your mom?”

The expression on Tiffany’s face turned bitter and hateful. “I’m so vexed right now. I feel like the rest of my life is bleak if I’m going to live with my mom. It’s too exhausting... I’m working at Jackson’s company right now and also working part time at night. Even with two incomes, I can’t support my mom. She just can’t get rid of her obsession with luxury goods and her habit of spending frivolously. Not only that, she’s into playing mahjong and gambling away quite a huge sum of money. Everytime we talk about it, it just ends in fights. I’m so done with talking about it with her now.”

Arianne, having already known a little bit about this before, could only comfort Tiffany. “She must not be used to the life of an ordinary person. It’ll get better in time. Don’t worry too much about it. But you have to make her understand that the situation is different now. There’s no mountain of wealth at home for her to squander. You have to also let her know how exhausted you are. She has to feel sorry for her daughter, right?”
