Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1346

"Keep your money. We just want our Minnie. Besides, we aren't hurting for cash. Our daughter is practically made of money."

Sarah scoffed.

"Yeah, what could you possibly offer? My daughter's bank account could buy you out ten times over."

George added dismissively.

Lacey looked as if she might pop a blood vessel. George continued mercilessly, "Listen here, stop bothering Minnie. If you're that lonely, go bother your sons.

You have four of them, right? Spend a month at each of their houses, and that burns up a third of the year right there.

We only have Minnie, so back off."

Rachel chimed in with a savage smile, "You should thank them, ma'am. They've thoughtfully scheduled your entire retirement plan for you."

Humiliated and utterly defeated, Lacey stormed out of the estate.

She wasn't an ancient, bedridden woman; she certainly didn't need to beg her sons for a place to crash!

Back in the living room, Sarah and George settled onto the sofa, happily gossiping.

"Imagine having four sons and still trying to steal our one daughter."

"Doesn't she have another daughter? She used to treat that girl like royalty. Why isn't she bothering her?"

"That daughter disowned her. Plus, she wasn't even biologically hers,"

Rachel supplied helpfully.

"Not hers? Then whose is she?"

Sarah gasped. "Did her husband have an affair?"

Sarah was about to curse Adrian's name but caught Mira's eye and swallowed her colorful insults.

Curled up on the luxurious sofa and snacking on a plate of fruit, Mira let them gossip to their hearts' content. It was harmless entertainment.

Before the holidays, she had handed out massive holiday bonus checks to her adoptive parents, Rachel, and her security detail. She encouraged them to play cards and enjoy the festive season.

This filled the massive house with lively warmth.
