Chapter 185

"Huh, Matt's mother? What does she want from me?" Kate wondered.1

She picked up the call without thinking much. She knew that Matt and Mary relied on Erin's threat to kill her mother if she didn't comply with every one of her stupid requests.

Now that Erin was out of the picture and had already sent her mother to a professional nursing home, she had nothing to fear. 

—

"Hello?" Kate opened the conversation. "Do you need anything, Mary?"

"You—You're such a useless woman!" Mary snapped.

Kate was caught off guard because she didn't expect Mary to yell out of the blue. 

"Huh? What are you on about, Mary? Why are you cursing me out of the blue?"

"Do you think I don't know that you fucked over my son's saving?" Mary began to lash out, thinking it was all Kate's fault for not being a good wife to her son. "He has been working hard as a director, and he must've given you a lot of money, yet you saved NONE of it?!"

"Oh my god! How can you be so fucking careless! Look at what you've done now! Matt lost all of his savings from a failed investment and he said that you don't save even a dime!" Mary continued yelling since Kate didn't try to fight back. She thought all those accusations must be true because Kate stayed silent. 

"Look at how useless you are, you didn't even work, you can't cook for him, and you can't even save money!" Mary accused. "On top of that, you are not a complete woman! How can you be so selfish!"

…

…

"Speak! Why are you keeping your mouth shut? Are you still trying to dodge your accountability?!"

It took a while for Kate to process the whole thing. She knew that Matt lied about a lot of things to his mother. He didn't want his mother to know that he was a useless stump who couldn't find a job and had been leeching on Kate pretty much during their entire marriage.

In fact, if Kate would stretch it even further, he had been using her money since they were still in university and after graduation.

Kate had been working part-time since she was in university and then got a permanent job as an admin in a small company for a few years before Matt forced her to resign as they were about to marry.

He had this grandeur vision that Kate would be a stay-at-home mom, taking care of their children while he was venturing to become a successful actor. 

'I should've known back then that it was all bullshit. He has been using my money even before we got married. Things wouldn't change just because we exchanged our vows.'

Now, she could always let herself be a punching bag, which she did when she was still married to Matt.

She would let herself be a punching bag, accepting all the insults hurled towards her by her mother-in-law.

She just thought it was an effort to persevere her husband's dignity in front of his Mother.

But not anymore.

They were about to get a divorce, and Kate had no obligation to hide things. 

"That's true, I didn't save a single dime for that useless bastard," Kate said rudely, much to Mary's shock. 

Mary always thought that Kate was useless, but at least she wasn't defiant. 

So this only ruined her image in front of her mother-in-law even more!

"How could you say that?! He has been working so hard just to give you a good life! You ungrateful wench!" 

"Haha, working so hard? Do you know what kind of job he has?"

"He's a director! He has made a lot of movies and also a lot of money! Don't you realize that he is too good for you?!"

"He is too good for me, huh?" Kate scoffed, full of ridicule. "Then tell me, which movies or TV series he has directed? Surely he will tell you if it's a big movie, right?"

"T—That—" 

The question soon cornered Mary because she didn't know what kind of movie or TV series Matt had directed. She asked a few times, but he said it wasn't all that important.

He had a lot of money because he worked hard, that was the only important thing to know.

"T—That's not important. What's the point of knowing his works? The point is, he brought money to the family, and you spent it all because you're so selfish!"

"You have no idea, right?" Kate taunted. "He never told you any of his directed works. Why? Because it's all bullshit."

"Y—You! How could you—"

"Shut up, Mary, let me tell you the truth before you hurl me some baseless insult," Kate interrupted. She was tired of this old woman cursing at her every time. "Matt has never worked in his entire life. He has been leeching off from me ever since we got married."

"He can't get a job as an actor. He refused to find another job, that's why I'm forced to work my ass off while he's staying at home, doing nothing other than playing video games," Kate said. "He's a total useless stump."

"But of course, Mummy's little boy wouldn't dare to tell the truth to her. Since you don't see him on the big screen, he can't lie that he's an actor. That's why he said he's a successful director," Kate sneered. "Oh, jolly, how good of a son he is, sending money to his mother every month, claiming that it's his money and saying that I've done nothing to contribute to your little rotten family."

"H—How could you know—" Matt told her many times that Kate didn't know he was sending money to her because she was an absolute bitch who would yell at him if he sent so much money to his mother.

That's why Mary thought Kate was an ungrateful, selfish, greedy, barren woman. 

"Are you surprised because I know about it?" Kate chuckled. "Because he's using my card to send you money every damn time, you dumb bitch. Of course I know everything."
