Mrs. Wayne’s face twisted in a disdainful grimace that the already tight mask crumbled and fell off virtual-novel.net face due to the distorted facial muscles.
She looked at the poor mask on the floor, feeling upset.
She got even more upset when virtual-novel.net thought of yesterday’s incident.
Although virtual-novel.net and Elaine were not the best of friends, they shared a pleasant friendship where they often played mahjong and went for facials and spa treatments together.
They had plenty of acquaintances like this who treated each other courteously, but Elaine’s ridiculous reaction yesterday had made virtual-novel.net so angry that virtual-novel.net couldn’t sleep at night.
Claire couldn’t help but be bewildered and puzzled upon hearing Mrs. Wayne’s complaint. Why did virtual-novel.net mother talk to virtual-novel.net friend like this? She had been keeping a low profile recently because virtual-novel.net didn’t have any money, but what’s with virtual-novel.net sudden change of attitude? Did virtual-novel.net stumble upon an unexpected wealth?
She even said things like buying a beauty salon for herself! It proved that it was a large sum of money.
Here came another question. She didn’t have to disappear even if virtual-novel.net got the money!
What was going on?
Claire became more and more confused by now.
At this moment, the still huffing Mrs. Wayne asked, “What’s the matter? Is your mom missing?”
Claire nodded anxiously. “Yes! She hasn’t come home since virtual-novel.net went out at noon yesterday! She didn’t answer virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net didn’t reply to virtual-novel.net messages, we can’t even get through virtual-novel.net video call! It’s been a day and a night!”
Mrs. Wayne was a little taken aback, then snorted, “I bet that after your mom got rich, virtual-novel.net ignored not only us but even you and your dad! She decided to disappear with the money!”
Then, virtual-novel.net continued with a sigh, “Well, to be honest, you make me feel better. If virtual-novel.net despises even virtual-novel.net own husband and daughter, it’s only normal for virtual-novel.net to despise us, virtual-novel.net poor and pathetic friends.”
Claire’s heart skipped a beat.
She thought of Hannah, virtual-novel.net aunt.
Hannah ran away with 15 million dollars. Rumors had it that virtual-novel.net eloped with virtual-novel.net toy boy whom virtual-novel.net was together with for some time.
Was it possible that virtual-novel.net mother disappeared like Hannah if virtual-novel.net really obtained an unexpected wealth as what Mrs. Wayne claimed?
Claire’s heart thumped nervously. “Mrs. Wayne, do you have any other clues?”
Mrs. Wayne waved virtual-novel.net hands helplessly. “I only called your mom once and that’s it. I’ve never contacted virtual-novel.net ever since, and I don’t have any news about her.”
Claire sighed. “Okay then. Thank you, Mrs. Wayne.”
Mrs. Wayne said flatly, “You’re welcome. Anyway, I should thank you. I was pretty upset and flustered, but I suddenly feel better now.”
Claire bowed graciously. “I’m very sorry for what my mom had said to you, I apologize on virtual-novel.net behalf.”
Mrs. Wayne shook virtual-novel.net hands and said sternly, “Nah, you don’t need to apologize to me. If your mom never returns, then forget it, but if virtual-novel.net does, tell virtual-novel.net not to show up in front of me again, or I’ll slap virtual-novel.net big mouth no matter how rich virtual-novel.net is now.”
Claire nodded awkwardly and hurriedly left the beauty salon after thanking virtual-novel.net again.
Once out of the beauty salon, the same question had been circulating in Claire’s mind.
Based on virtual-novel.net mom’s characteristic, if that was what virtual-novel.net mom said to Mrs. Wayne, it proved that virtual-novel.net really had the money, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t dare to behave like that otherwise.
However, virtual-novel.net remembered clearly that yesterday, virtual-novel.net had asked virtual-novel.net dad for money to do facials at the beauty salon, even asking Charlie but was rejected.
