Besides, their home was as messy as a doghouse. Anna was not a fool. She knew that the hospital


    had a better environment than her home.


    Plus, she did not have to worry about food or clothing in the hospital. No matter how unhappy Nina


    was, she still had to pay.


    Jean could not help but fret. Not only did he not get any money, but he even got nagged at by Anna.


    Then, he said, “I don''t know how she saw me—"


    “So, you do have money?" Anna interrupted him. She always thought that Jean did not have much


    money, so he could not take care of her.


    However, he had the money right now. Not only did he not spend a single penny on her, he still asked


    her for money, which made Anna extremely unhappy.


    "I had moneyst night, but the money is all gone now. Mom, I don''t have money!" Jean said as he


    switched his phone to a different hand. When he saw his empty wrist, his rage started burning again.


    "How did you lose all the money in one night? Did you gamble it away? Or did you spend it on a


    woman?" Anna asked as there were only two possible reasons for spending the money so quickly.


    She did not expect Jean to say that he spent it on her anyway.


    "No, it was stolen..." Jean said embarrassedly.


    "What? Did a burr enter the house? Did they take anything other than the money?" Anna said


    nervously as she had hidden some gold jewelry in a secretpartment that even Jean did not know


    about.


    "Only my money was stolen, everything else is fine. Mom, why don''t youe back home? If this goes


    on, I''ll starve to death." Jean frowned. As he had made a name for himself in this area, none of the


    shops would put him on a tab.


    Nina had told them before that whoever put Jean on a tab should look for him to receive payment, not


    her.


    Hence, they were unwilling to put him on a tab, making it impossible for him to even go out and buy


    some instant noodles.


    "Why was only your money stolen? This won''t do. You have to go to the police station at the end of the


    street to make a report. There are surveince cameras on the street, so you can find out who stole


    your money." Anna tensed up. Although it was Jean''s money that got stolen, it was still money.


    "Forget it.." Jean frowned. He just wanted to solve the problem of food right now.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    As for Marie, he would definitely get back at her for this, so he had no intention of making a police


    report.


    If Marie was caught by the police, she would be under their control. They would get in his way if he


    wanted to deal with her, which would be very inconvenient for him.


    Moreover, they were a couple before, so perhaps the police would not even file the case.


    He did not even have proof that the money belonged to him.


    “Forget it? The girl even said that you have quite a lot of money. How could you say that after getting


    your money stolen? Is it because you have a lot of money now? Or is it because your family is rich?"


    Anna said relentlessly.


    "I just want some food right now!" Jean roared.


    Anna realized that something was not right, so she asked with a frown, "Jean, be honest with me. The


    person who took your money isn''t a thief, right?"


    "What are you thinking? If you don''t have money, I''ll figure it out myself." Jean grew impatient and


    wanted to hang up.


    Anna''s thoughts were like a mirror that had been polished by Jean''s demeanor.


    "The one who stole your money was a woman, right? Is that woman someone I know?" Anna asked as


    there could only be one exnation for Jean''s evasiveness. He was hiding something from her.


    If he was hiding it from her, then it must be someone she knew.


    Jean remained silent.


    "Jean, who else is living with you?" Anna asked. She did not object to Jean living with another woman


    as she wanted to hold her grandchildren as soon as possible too.


    However, she could not ept him living with some dubious woman. If such a woman got pregnant,


    she would not even be able to confirm whether the child belonged to Jean.


    At the thought of this, Marie came to mind.


    It seemed about time that b*tch came out of jail.


    "If you don''t say it, I''ll go ask Nina then," threatened Anna.


    Nina would tell her everything if Anna asked her, so Jean had no choice but to say, "Fine, I''ll tell you.


    It''s Marie. She stole my money and watch!"


    Anna was stupefied. Marie!


    The criminal who turned their family into what they were today!


    "Are you stupid? Why did you get yourself involved with Marie? Have you forgotten how much trouble


    she caused our family?" Anna gritted her teeth and scolded Jean.


    "When I first approached her, it was to get back the money for the house!" Jean exined.


    "Get back the money for the house? We would''ve gotten it back long ago if we could. Why wait until


    she got out of jail? Now that your money has been stolen by Marie, you''re still not making a police


    report? Jean, I don''t care if you don''t do it. I''ll do it for you!" Anna hated Marie''s guts as she was the


    person who took away her life savings.


    If not for her, she would still be living a good life, unlike now. She would not have to think about how


    she could earn the money back for her coffin after her death either.


    “Fine, fine. I''ll go make a police report. I''m hanging up." Jean still did not intend to call the police. He


    just wanted to cate Anna. After hanging up the phone, he sat on the sofa.


    He picked up hisst cigarette. If he still could not get his hands on any money after this, he would


    have nothing left to smoke, nor would he have any food to eat.


    After lighting the cigarette, Jean took a puff and blew a cloud of smoke. In the end, he decided to call


    Nina.


    Nina was on the way to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.


    "What is it?" She answered the call even though she knew that Jean was calling to ask her for money


    because she knew that if she did not pick up his call, Jean would keep on harassing her by calling


    nonstop.


    She did not want to put herself through that trouble.


    "All my money was stolen by that b*tch, Marie. Can you give me some money for food? I''ll pay you


    back once I get my money back." This time, Jean was a man of ''integrity'' as he did not directly ask her


    for money.


    "Marie stole all the money you took from Pierre?" Nina was a little surprised. As expected from Marie,


    she just stayed by Jean''s side for the money.


    She had long known that what they had was not true love.


    Jean froze and said embarrassedly, "Yes..."


    "Then, you go ask her for it." Nina did show any sympathy for him as she had already warned him


    beforehand.


    "I can''t find her right now. Can''t you just give me a little bit? Do you want me to starve to death?" Jean


    said in frustration.


    "Mom won''t let you starve to death. Go ask her for money. Will you really pay me back if I lend you


    money? If you can''t look for Marie now, do you think you''ll be able to get your money back when you


    find herter? Marie''s as good as spending money as you are." Nina rejected him as the money she


    gave Jean and Anna was like a one-way ticket trip. Once the money was gone, there was no way of


    getting it back.


    "If you refuse to transfer money to Mom, how is she going to give me money?" Jean had no intention of


    asking Anna for money because as soon as he opened his mouth, she would definitely bring up Marie.
