"You wasted three hundred thousand dollars." Lilan was angered to the point where it seemed like there were new wrinkles on her already aging face. "Jennie, Lisa's money has already been returned. Do you know how large of a sum three hundred thousand dollars is to the Kim family right now?"

Jennie's mocking smile deepened. "My father is on the hospital bed right now, but both of you are uninterested in his well being. Instead, you are clinging onto the matter of the three hundred thousand dollar clothes, refusing to let go. All I did was buy some clothes for Krystal, didn't I? Since our second uncle said he would pay, and agreed to buy them for Krystal, what right do you have to criticise me?"

"You..." Lilan was stifled with anger. "You damn child! You wasted so much money, yet you're speaking as though you're in the right."

"It's second sister's clothes that wasted your money. If you are looking for someone to reprimand, go ahead and reprimand her." Jennie harrumphed coldly. "Mom, you buy the same make-up items that she buys. A few bottles of those alone add up to hundreds of dollars. Even the cheapest clothes you have are in the range of multiple thousand dollars. My dad's treatment fees and hospital care fee are less than a few thousand dollars a month."

Of course, that was only so in the previous hospital that he was in. It was cheap because it was a normal hospital.

Now that he was transferred to Jia Ya Hospital, and to the best room at that, the monthly fees would go up to several tens of thousand dollars. However, she, Jennie, had money now. It was a small matter for her to manage her father's treatment fees on her own.

"Shouldn't women buy some good skincare for themselves?" Lilan glared at her. "Your mom isn't young anymore. If I don't take good care of my skin and put some effort into dressing well, I'll age very quickly."

Are you my mom? Jennie sneered internally. As she took in Lilan's face, she felt she had nowhere to vent her anger. "My dad made so much money for us previously, but it was used up by the two of you! If you hadn't done that, we would still be a wealthy family after returning the owed money to Lisa. I didn't tell you not to spend. But you should have put my dad's treatment on priority!"

"..."

 Lilan was unbearably angered. She refused to take this lying down. "Isn't it just money? Lisa has more than enough of it. In fact, to Lisa, what we had isn't even worth a fart. You..."

Her tone became stern. "You must look for Lisa and ask him to continue supporting the Kim family financially!"

"Continue supporting the Kim family? To let you and Krystal get away with free benefits?" Jennie was angered to the point of wanting to laugh. "And let that old gigolo, Lee Shuhai, join in?"

"Jennie!"

Lilan and Krystal both shouted at the same time.

If this had been in the past, this would have been sufficient to make her freeze.

However, the current Jennie was not affected by this in the slightest.

Since hard tactics wouldn't work, Lilan decided to use a soft one. She watched Jennie with loving eyes and spoke caringly. "Jennie ah, your second uncle is your elder. Even if he is living in the Kim family, how could you describe him that way?"

Lilan saw that she was silent and sighed. "Even if your second sister and I spent your father's money, I'm your father's wife. Krystal is his daughter. There's nothing wrong about us using his money. You are also part of the Kim family. You have responsibility to shoulder the Kim family's honor and disgrace, prosperity and decline. The current Kim family really cannot suffer the withdrawal of Lisa's financial support. Do you mean to say that you can bear to watch the Kim family go into a decline?"

Her second uncle, her second sister... and the 'birth' mother standing in front of her. Whether or not these people were her relatives was still an unanswered question. Jennie decided that she needed to conduct a DNA test for every member in this family!

Jennie waved her hand uncaringly. "Mom, no matter how much glory the Kim family has enjoyed, or how much money Lisa has given to the Kim family, for the past seven years, you have never given me a single cent."
