Chapter 672
Judie was momentarily speechless. After a moment, she snapped, “Whose side are you on? You assured me you’d buy me a villa before the baby was born.”
“If you want it so badly, ask Eileen for it yourself,” Denise replied. Despite her fear of Judie, she was intimidated by Eileen.
Denise knew that if Eileen decided to confirm the paternity and it was revealed she wasn’t her biological daughter, she might have to return all the money Eileen had given her over the years.
Having exhausted all her money and with Judie unwilling to assist, she faced the possibility of being imprisoned.
Thinking of this, Denise turned and headed toward the road.
Judie, frustrated, ignored Denise and called an Uber, leaving.
Denise, lacking both funds and familiarity with the Uber app, wandered around for some time before realizing that Judie had already left.
She chased after the car for a while but couldn’t catch up. Frustrated and angry, she had no choice but to call Roderick.
After receiving the call, Roderick learned that Denise and Judie had gone to confront Eileen.
Without delay, Roderick closed the restaurant and drove a van to pick up Denise. When they returned home,
Judie was lying on the bed, holding the card Eileen had given her.
“Did you actually get the card back?” Roderick asked, immediately recognizing it.

Judie placed the card under the pillow, sat up, and responded, “Yes, I got it back. This is our shared asset. You didn’t even consult me before giving it to Eileen.”
Roderick patiently explained, “I’ve mentioned before how much Eileen has helped us. If we don’t repay her at her wedding, when do you think we’ll ever have the chance to repay her? I can still earn money in the future for our family!”
Judie dismissed his explanation. “When has she ever helped you? Did she buy you a house, a car, or provide money for your wedding? You also owe me for risking my life to give you a child!”
She thrust her belly out, causing Roderick to retreat and bump into the quiet Denise behind him.
Roderick and Denise nearly fell over.
Judie, noticing Denise hiding behind, became even angrier. “If Denise, didn’t you promise to get Eileen to buy a villa? It’s no surprise that Eileen refused you, considering you just stood there silently, doing nothing!”
“Enough!” Roderick darkened as he heard Judie’s words. “You asked Eileen for a villa? How many times have I told you not to bother her?”
Judie retorted, “What do you mean by ‘bother’? Your mother is Eileen’s biological mother. Why is it so wrong for her to help us?”
