"Mother! I'm not leaving. I want to stay here and hear the answer with my own ears."

Maria's stubbornness gave Mrs. Wilson a headache. She did not understand why the cute and obedient girl would grow up like this.

Without Maria knowing it, Mrs. Wilson's love for her was already diminishing.

Although Mrs. Wilson felt a headache because she couldn't get Maria to leave, the most important thing now was to figure out what was going on. Did Mr. Wilson have a mistress outside? If not, why did he stop giving her living expenses?

Mrs. Wilson shifted her gaze from Maria to Bard. "I want to ask the exact question Maria asked."

Being asked by Mrs. Wilson and Maria, Bard had no choice but to answer, "Maybe it's because the company is temporarily facing some problems and is short of funds, so Mr. Wilson didn't give you your living expenses in time. When Mr. Wilson gets the revenue, he'll give you the living expense on time."
