Chapter 1057


    Simone snorted coldly. “She’s not good in nature, what will she look like when she grows up?”


    Bet cleared his throat, ‘Don’t forget, she’s our kid.”


    ‘She may be our kid, but we didn’t raise her! Simone mocked, “Even a good seed won’t grow right in


    crappy soil. If she doesn’t love herself, why should we let her drag us down with her?”


    Bet wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Carmeing down the stairs, so he stopped


    talking. Carme, in her cute pajamas and cuddling her stuffed kitten, looked extremely cheerful, “Hey


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    mom and dad, what are you guys talking about?”


    Not wanting to mention Estelle, Simone didn’t say much and, holding Carme’s hand, asked with a


    smile, “How’s the studio going?”


    ‘That’s exactly what I wanted to talk to you guys about!” Carme sald, gripping Simone’s hand, “My


    team and I want to participate in this really famous overseas fashion show. But the admission


    requirements for this exhibition are very high, so some money needs to be invested.”


    Simone was taken aback, ‘Do you need funds again?”


    “Mom, if our designs make it to the show, we’ll definitely get a lot of attention. All the money we put in


    wille back, Carme said excitedly.


    In reality, Simone and Bet had already agreed not to invest any more in Carme’s studio. They


    had poured nearly a million dors into it over the years with no return.


    The recent economic situation has deteriorated, and the Macin family’s business can only barely


    maintain. Simone wanted to keep some funds on hand for asional needs. But Estelle’s sudden


    ident made Simone start to reconsider. They couldn’t count on Estelle anymore, only Carme. So,


    they decided to go all in and support Carme’s venture.


    Simone and Bet exchanged a look, then, gripping Carme’s hands, Simone sald with a smile,


    “Alright, just tell me how much you need, I’ll wire it over.”


    Carme hugged Simone, clearly touched. “Mom, you guys are so good to me. I’ll make a lot of money


    in the future and treat you guys well


    Bet said with a warm smile, “As long as you’re happy, we’re happy.”


    Simone added softly, ‘He’s right. You’re all we have. Who else would we support if not you?”


    “Mom!” Carme leaned into Simone’s shoulder. “I’m so lucky to be your daughter.”


    Simone gently caressed her shoulder, smiling softly.


    After chatting for a bit, Carme went upstairs to rest.


    As she ascended the stairs, her smile faded. She knew Simone and Bet had wanted to stop


    funding her studio.


    That’s why she used Estelle’s incident as a chance to ask for money. Just as she expected, Simone


    agreed without hesitation.


    Estelle was cast aside by everyone now. Whether she could stay in J City the future was a question.


    They could only count on Carme.


    The Macin family’s assets were rightfully Carme’s. Who else would they give it to?


    Two years had passed, what’s the point of Estelle’s return? She’ll just leave again.


    By the time Estelle reappears, the entirety of the Macin family’s wealth might already belong to her!


    A sarcasticugh escaped Carme’s lips as she headed to her room.
