Chapter 865 A Leech of A Mother

Bianca walked up to Nina and gently patted her back. "Hey, it's tto go home, you workaholic. Let me treat you to supper."

Nina put her pen down, tidied up the scattered pieces of paper on her desk, and smiled gently. "No, thanks. I'll have to rush hlater. My mom calledearlier and said that she's fallen sick. I'd better go hsoon.

Otherwise, she'll be yelling atagain."

Bianca was worried when she saw that Nina's complexion was pale." Should I go with you?"

She knew that Anna, Nina's mother, had always abused Nina.

Anna's abuse was not so flagrant. Even since Jean was sent to prison, Anna's character seemed to have changed totally. She had beca leech that sucked Nina's blood.

Nina declined. "It's fine. I can manage it. My mom is still very prejudiced against you. I don't think it's a good idea that you show up."

Jean was sentenced to six years in prison because he had plotted to harm Bianca. He was still in prison.

Bianca was silent. She remembered how Jean used to love and care for her, but he suddenly became as terrifying as a demon. He had drugged her and let his friends violate her as though she were nothing but an object.

It was a painful incident that she did not wish to remember.

Even so, they were once in a relationship, and Bianca could not help but ask Nina about Jean. "How is... how is your brother now?"

Nina tried to sound relaxed. "He's alright. I visited him a few months ago. He's thinner and more haggard, but his personality seems to have changed. It looks like he's beca more positive person. Looks like he has learned his lesson in prison." "How... long more will he be in there?"

Jean was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted rape. Usually, someone who committed that crwould have received a three-year sentence, but Luke had fought for the maximum sentence of six years.

"I've heard from the wardens that my brother's sentence is reduced by two and a half years because of good behavior. He's already been inside for three years, so it'll be another year before he's free."

Bianca was silent for a while before sighing. "Do you hate me, Nina? Your brother is in prison because of me, and your life has turned upside-down."

Nina playfully punched Bianca's shoulder and glared at her. "What are you talking about? Jean deserves to be sent to prison. If I were the victim, I'd also do what you did. Also, I've told you many times that you're not the one at fault. I just happened to meet a bad guy. Alright, let's not mention the past anymore. I'll be heading off!"

Bianca was worried as she watched Nina leave.

She did not say anything and shook her head helplessly.

Nina drove for almost three hours back to her parents' house at Caerhill Town. It was almost midnight when she arrived.

Her high heels clicked on the old steps of a residential building.

She could hear her mother before she entered the house.

"You worthless, good-for-nothing bum! You don't make any money, and you sit at hand mope every day! I've never known a day of bliss ever since I married you. What kind of father are you to be so indifferent to your son in prison?"

Naturally, the voice belonged to Anna, who was relentlessly dressing down on the down-to-earth Mr. Langdon.

Mr. Langdon's hair was graying, and his back was hunched. He was only fifty years old, but he looked as though he was in his sixties or seventies.

He took another drag of his cigarette, allowing himself to be battered with insults from his wife. His clouded eyes were filled with misery.

The floor was littered with cigarette butts.

Nina knocked hard on the door to break the tension in the house. "I'm home, Dad."

Mr. Langdon opened the door and smiled caringly when he saw his daughter. "You're back, Nina. Why are you late? Have you had dinner? I'll heat up something for you in the kitchen." "It's fine, Dad. I'm not hungry. I ate something on my way back home." Nina stopped her father from going to the kitchen.

She glanced around the living room. It was a mess. Her mother had broken many things.

Anna grimaced when she saw her daughter return. "Heh, you've finally remembered that we're waiting for you at home! Looks like you don't need us anymore. What have you been doing outside?"

Nina put her handbag down and controlled her temper. "You said that you're sick, Mom, and so I'm here to check on you. You seem to be quite healthy to me. If there's nothing else, I'll be going off. I still

have to work tomorrow; I'm very busy."

Anna hurriedly stood in Nina's way and grabbed her handbag. "It's rare that you chome. How about you stay for the night?"

She snatched her daughter's LV handbag and opened it.

Nina did not say a word as she watched her mother rummage through her handbag like a bandit.

Anna emptied out the contents of her handbag and only found swork- related documents, a simple makeup kit, and sbills of small denominations.

She glared at Nina as though threatening to devour her daughter with her gaze. "Why didn't you bring any money to your parents at home? You know that times are hard, so why can't you give us some money? Do I have any use for an ingrate like you?"

Nina chuckled. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself for saying that? Every month, I transfer to you almost all my salary and allowance. Don't you withdraw the money from your account every 15th of the month? I don't have any personal savings, and that's all the living expenses that I have. What else do you want?"

Anna took all the cash from the handbag without leaving a single cent for Nina and stashed it into her pocket.

Then, she took a tattered cloth bag from a drawer, placed Nina’s belongings inside, and claimed the LV handbag as her own.

"This handbag looks like it can fetch a pretty penny at the pawnshop. I'll have to help your brother. He's suffering in prison, and you should help him too. You have many handbags, so you shouldn't mind givingthis one..."
