Chapter 40 The Confrontation Between the Mother and Daughter, the Mother Wanted to Borrow the
House
Edith and Vi both dressed up and came to the Bay Hall.
The two of them were full of jewels and heavy makeup. They looked like a socialite and her
daughter who had been in the upper ss.
As soon as the two reached the gate of the Bay Hall, they were stopped by security guards.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Edith raised her chin arrogantly, said the address, and continued, "I''ming to my daughter''s
house."
"Madam, please wait a moment. I will confirm with the house owner first." As he said, the security
guard made an internal call.
In a hurry, Vi winked at Edith.
Edith seemed to understand her. She rushed to hang up the phone of the security guard and said
awkwardly.
"It''s my daughter''s birthday today. We are here to give her a surprise. Don''t make the call."
The security guard frowned slightly and said, "Madam, it''s hard for me to not make the call. The
visitor regtions of the Bay Hall state that we must confirm with the house owner, and we can''t let
you in before getting the approval from the house owner."
Edith became more certain that she could not let him make this phone call when she heard that
"only if the house owner agreed to let you in."
"No, no, no! If you called, isn''t there be no surprise? Look, I know the name of the resident. Her
name is Adeline Burton, and she is my daughter."
As she spoke, Edith opened the photo on her phone and pointed, "Look, this is me, and this is the
house owner. We know each other. Her husband''s name is Curtis Riley. You see. All the information
matches! Can you let us in now?"
As Edith was talking, she wanted to forcibly bypass the security guards and walked in.
The security guard strode forward and blocked the two of them, "Madam, I''m sorry. Even if the
information is matched, I can''t let you in."
Edith couldn''t hold back anymore. She was anxious and said, "You are such a bad security guard.
Aren''t you not having any sense? I have told you. I want to surprise my daughter. It''s a surprise. Do
you understand? If you spoil the surprise, can you be responsible?"
"That''s fine. You can surprise your daughter." The security guard replied. Before he finished
speaking, both Edith and Vi looked happy.
Just as the two were about to move forward, they were stopped again by security, "But you have to
contact your son-inw. Let him authorize us to let you in. This way it won''t affect your surprise."
Edith rolled her eyes angrily
Wasn''t she risking her neck if she called Curtis?
At the same time, Vi impatiently took out 70 dors from her purse. She waived them and raised
her voice, "Can we get the deal done now? 70 dors, is it enough?"
The security guard took a few steps back as if he experienced an electric shock, "Miss, please don''t
make us get fired! We have strict rules and we cannot ept any tips!

Vi also rolled her eyes angrily.
The mother and daughter were stopped at the entrance of the Bay Hall, and they were anxious.
How did they know those two damned security guards wouldn''t let them in no matter what?
Suddenly, Vi yelled with an "Ah". She excitedly took out her mobile phone and called her friend.
Soon after, the phone in the security booth rang.
Vi''s friend who lived in the Bay Hall asked the security guard to let her in.
The security guard responded to the call and gestured for them to go in.
Vi snorted coldly and walked in arrogantly while holding onto Edith''s arm.
As soon as the two entered themunity, Vi started to introduce the environment inside Bay
Hall to Edith since she had been there before.
"Mom, there is a heated swimming pool over there. The pool inside is clean, and there is a VIP area
where you can swim alone without being disturbed."
"There is a fitness room over there, and there are personal trainers!"
"That... That''s a movie theater."
The more Vi said, the more excited she became. She shook Edith''s arm and said, "Mom, I want
to live here so badly."
How could Edith doesn''t know about it?
Vi threw tantrums several times before.
Her father and her three elder brothers had used all their connections, but none of them got the
authority to buy a house there.
Now, the property was fully upied, and it was impossible to get a vacant unit.
Edith was unable to bear seeing her little daughter being sad. She went all out and said, "I will talk
to that girlter. I''ll try to persuade her to move out and give you the house."
After Vi heard that, she kissed Edith''s cheek excitedly, "Mom is the best!"
The two walked to the building on foot.
The downstairs of the building was gated.
But Edith and Vi were very lucky. When they arrived, a resident came out of the building. Then,
the two of them walked in hurriedly and came to the floor where Adeline lived.
That was a Sunday, and Adeline happened to be resting at home to prepare for her sses. When
she heard someone ring the doorbell, she was stunned for a moment before getting up to open the
door.
Seeing her well-dressed mother and sister outside the door, she was stunned again.
Edith pushed the door open and walked in, "What''s wrong? Are you surprised to see your mother
and sister? You are such a bad daughter! Do you think that after you get married, you have nothing
to do with your family? You nevere home to see me and your father, and now you want me and
your younger sister toe to see you? Do you think you will look good by doing that? If the words
spread, I can''t imagine how people willment about you."
Adeline''s expression darkened upon hearing that.
No one could bear being used like that just after opening the door.
However, since both of them had already walked into the house, she couldn''t drive them out. So,
she had to politely serve them two cups of tea.
But the two of them were not shy at all. They were looking around, touching the furnishings in the
house and marveling.
After the two finished their tour, Adeline sat on the sofa and looked at the two of them with the
attitude of the host.
"Tell me. What makes you here?"
Seeing her attitude like that, Edith was furious.
"Such an ignorant kid! What are you talking about? I''m your mother. Ie here to see you and you
are asking me why?"
Adeline smiled lightly, "Mom, let''s stop pretending, okay? Ever since I was a child, have you ever
cared about me when I got sick?"
"Have you ever said a word of blessing to me on my birthday?"
"You have never cared about me, and you gave me away to an old man who is almost 50 years old.
Do you really think that I will believe that you are suddenly full of maternal love, and want to make
up for what I have lost in those years?"
Edith''s expression was extremely awkward.
"Bad girl! You are so eloquent after bing a teacher! You even dare to lecture your mother now!"
Seeing that her mother was still pretending, Adeline was tired and didn''t want to be bothered.
Seeing that Adeline didn''t want to talk about it anymore, Edith felt anxious.
Vi winked at her, telling her to be straightforward.
Edith immediately held Adeline down and asked her to sit down, "Okay, let me tell you! I''m here to
borrow your house from you."
"Borrow my house?" Adeline frowned and looked at Edith.
"That''s right." Edith also sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite Adeline.
"Do you mean... That you want toe and stay here? Stay with us?"
Adeline frowned even more.
If that was the case, it''d put her in a very difficult situation!
After all, if the mother-inw wanted toe and stayed with the son-inw, there weren''t any
excuses to drive her away!
"No." Edith brushed her curly hair back from her shoulders, and said without blushing, "I mean, we
will move in for a while, and you will move out."
