Chapter 19 Inciting Conflict

• The look on my mother-in-law’s face was an absolutely brilliant sight to behold, while Carson was obviously dumbfounded by that amount as he said in disbelief, “Mom told me nothing about her salary last night...”
• “She must’ve forgotten about it, but she did tell me that it would cost twelve thousand. Isn’t that right, Mom?” I was targeting my mother-in-law, as I knew she wanted to make some profit through it, which was precisely why I told everyone the amount of Victoria’s salary, all the while trying to force my mother-in-law to admit it.
• If she admitted to it, she wouldn’t be able to gain anything out of it, but if she denied, it would be equivalent to her admitting that she wanted to take my money. I sure would like to see her make the choice. As expected, she was visibly feeling uneasy about it, but eventually, she still decided to admit that Victoria’s salary would be twelve thousand after some internal strife.
