Prev Chapter Next Chapter

“Honey, has June come back with you?”

Inez came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound.

I froze when I saw her.

If I met her in the street, I would never recognize her as Inez!

She was much thinner. She was wearing a floral shirt and a thick pink vest. At first glance, it was a

bargain in the market.

She used to scoff at all this.

How could she be like this?

Inez saw me soon. Her eyes brightened. She came and grabbed me and said, “June!” Then she

hugged me directly. “You are really June! Am I right? You’re really my June!”

When she held me, I could clearly smell a smell coming from her hair.

If they were acting, they were too good at camouflage.

I knew them. They would never act like this. They had accepted this state of life.

Inez finished holding me and looked at Ming, “isn’t this the third son of Jessop Family? You and June...”

“I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong person. She’s not June. We just can’t bear to have this uncle freeze

outside and send him back.”

Ming was more awake than me.

He replied coldly to Inez.

Inez froze and looked at me, “it’s impossible. She’s June! It must be her!”

“Hello, my name is Becky. If it’s OK, I’ll leave.”

When I finished, I turned around and wanted to go.

Inez hugged my leg and knelt in front of me. “Don’t go, June. It used to be my fault. Please forgive me.

Please. After all, I’m your mother. We are family! I gave birth to you!”

I was really angry about that.

But now I always remembered that I was Becky.

Marlin stood aside and rubbed his hand awkwardly. “Her mind is not clear these years. Come in and sit

down.”

With that, he pushed the cartons away.

“Sit down.” Ming asked me.

I couldn’t leave or kick Inez, so I could only agree.

Fortunately Ming was here, otherwise I really dare not stay here alone.

After we sat down, Marlin went to the bathroom and changed. Inez brought several dishes, which were

very cold, but she said, “I knew you were coming, so I specially cooked some pieces of meat in the

refrigerator.”

“We had dinner.”

I said lightly.

“Oh, yes, you don’t like our food.” Inez sat there and began to fold the cartons.

Marlin looked at her and said unhappily, “June is here. You can do it later.”

“Oh.”

Inez was very skilled. I was more convinced that they had been living like this and getting used to it.

I asked, “what are your current sources of income?”

“We fold the cartons.” Inez was embarrassed. “I’m stupid and I didn’t work before. I’ve been fired many

times so I can only do this.”

“And you?”

I looked at Marlin.

Marlin was embarrassed. “I just do odd jobs.”

Finally Ming asked my question, “even if Carter Family went bankrupt, you got a lot of money. How can

you have such a hard time?”

“Alas!” Marlin sighed, “our money has been cheated for a long time, and we are in debt. At last our

house and car were gone. It’s a miracle that we can survive.”

“Well.” Ming heard, “although Becky is not June, after all, you have some relations with Jessop Family.

You give me your bank account and I will transfer two million dollars to you. Although the money can’t

make you go back to your old life, it’s enough to make you live a normal life.”

“You are very kind.” Marlin raised his mouth slightly when he heard Ming.

According to his current economic situation, not to mention two million dollars, even if only 200000

dollars could help them.

But Marlin obviously didn’t care about two million dollars.

He seemed to think the money was too little.

I was not happy. I pulled Ming and said, “don’t pretend to be a good man. They don’t care about the

money.”

“No.” Inez quickly waved and took me by the hand and said, “June, where do you live now?”

I took my hand out of Inez’s and said lightly, “Auntie, I’m not from York. The house I live in is arranged

by the company. Now that my work is finished, I’m going to leave.”

“Where are you going?”

Inez was obviously worried when she heard that I was leaving.

“I said I’m not a native. I’m here because I have a job. Where I go has nothing to do with you.”

In my subconscious, I was afraid of being entangled with Inez.

I couldn’t forgive what they did to me before, including Molly. I didn’t forgive.

But she was dead so forget it.

Marlin asked, “where are you now?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

I had gradually felt a strange atmosphere in this room.

Marlin and Inez obviously had a purpose, but they were embarrassed to say that.

Their goal should be money.

And it was more than two million dollars.

Ming saw that I didn’t want to stay here, so he suggested, “it’s too late. We need to go back to rest first.

As for two million dollars, just contact me.”

He took a business card out of his wallet and found a clean place on the table.

He helped me up and was ready to take me away.

Inez wanted to call me. I caught a glimpse of Marlin pulling her and the shrewdness in his eyes.

This confirmed my conjecture. As expected, they had other purposes.

It was not convenient for them to say that in front of Ming.

I didn’t speak.

They sent us out. Inez smiled all the time. She made me feel hypocritical.

As soon as Ming and I got on the car, he said, “I think they might want your house.”

Ming reminded me.

Yes, Grandma left me a house.

Marlin and Inez had a fight with me before. He must be thinking about it now.

In the past five years, York’s house price had been rising, and the price of that house had not been $10

million for a long time. Ming’s $2 million was really nothing.

I lowered my eyes. “I booked the flight the day after tomorrow. I’ll go to see Uncle Jessop tomorrow

afternoon, and then I’ll leave the morning after tomorrow.”

“Well, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

Ming took me to the door of the studio and left.

I went home and lay in bed. I couldn’t calm down for a long time.

If Marlin and Inez were living in a normal house and wearing clean clothes today, I would not have

been so touched.

What happened? How could they have been cheated out of all their money?
