While Amanda was deep in thought, her phone rang.
It was Vivien calling.
âHi, dear.
Whatâs wrong?â
Vivienâs voice on the other end of the line was filled with dissatisfaction.
âWhy is my allowance so small lately? I went shopping with my friends, but my card showed that I didnât have enough balance.
Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was?â
Hearing this, Amanda felt a little guilty.
Now that she had given all her money to Tess, she could only quietly cut down Vivienâs allowance.
âMom! You used to say that your daughter should be raised well.
How could you do this to me?â
Amanda could only comfort Vivien with the words that Tess had used on her before.
âYou see, the company has encountered some financial difficulties lately, so I had no choice.
When things get better, your allowance Will be doubled.
Iâll buy you whatever you want!â
âThen⦠I want a set of limited edition skin care products!â
âOkay, okay.
Iâll buy them all!â
After hanging up, Amandaâs expression darkened.
Tess hadnât come back to the company these past few days, nor did she bother to call.
Amanda was beginning to suspect that her niece was hiding something from her.
Amanda was really worried, so she decided to call Tess.

However, as soon as she reached for her phone, the door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
In strode Amandaâs assistant.
Annoyed, Amanda snapped at her impatiently, âDonât you know to knock?â
But the assistant couldnât care less about this.
She said in a panic, âMaâam, the construction team is making trouble here.
Theyâve blocked the gate to the building!â
Amanda slammed her fists on the desk and stood up in shock.
âWhat?
How dare they! What the hell are the security guards doing?â
âThere are too many of them, maâam! More than a hundred people gathered downstairs.
They said that they havenât been paid yet, and the person in charge was even dismissed by Miss Green! They have no leader, so theyâre using their tools as weapons and theyâre demanding an explanation!â
They werenât paid?
Then what the hell happened to her money?
What the f@ck was Tess doing?!
