223: Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Thus, armed with her new weapon, Mary called her son, who was probably busy selling stuff in his old apartment.  1

It didn't take long for Matt to pick up the call. 

—

"Yes, Mom…" 

From Matt's tone, Mary already knew that the call probably pissed her son. 

He must've thought she was asking for money, and Mary wouldn't lie that it had been like that for the past three years or so.

She always asked for money from Matt every month, whose job was as a director, and thus earned a lot of money. 

But now that the reality had been flipped towards Kate's favor, she began to wonder if a child of a rapist could actually work.

After all, she must've had some of her father's blood, so she probably used her body to get a lot of money.

She worked as a chief editor in a big publishing company, but that was very weird.

What kind of woman could have such a high position unless she used her body to seduce those high-ranking men?

"How are you, Son?" Mary asked gently, knowing that Matt was stressed out.

Matt went silent for a moment and then replied, "I'm struggling to live. I don't have money for food, and I've been selling literally almost everything in this apartment. I even sold all of Kate's dresses in her wardrobe until it's empty."

"How about her jewelry? Surely she has a lot, right?" Mary asked.

"Heh, I found none of them. I think Erin took it when I wasn't looking, and I don't know where she is right now. She's uncontactable," Matt said. "I'm so fucking broke, Mom. Don't ask for money for now."

"Tsk, those two women are the same. Erin and Kate are just bitches. That's why they make our life miserable," Mary complained. "You've been doing great as a loyal husband, but Kate still left you. If she's truly for that emancipation woke bullshit, she should've just let you sit back and relax while she does everything!"

"I know. But reality hits differently. She left me because I'm not good enough," Matt said. 

Kate already told Mary before that Matt cheated on her with Erin. But Matt said that Kate was exaggerating and slandering. He has always been a faithful husband to her, and of course, Mary took her son's side instead of an infertile skank who happened to be an ungrateful bitch. 

"Don't worry, Son. I know you're innocent, and we're currently in peril because of Kate. That's why I've found a way to extort some more money from her, ensuring that she will provide us with a monthly allowance again. I'm desperate for more because Harry threatened to leave me if I didn't give him money."

Matt rolled his eyes. 

His mom kept on talking about that useless bastard Harry. 

He didn't know what made his mom so infatuated with Harry.

He couldn't find a job, fend for himself, and leeched on Mary all day. 

The only redeeming quality of him was his slightly above-average face which would deteriorate in ten years at most. 

'What's the point of keeping a useless man like that?' Matt asked himself. 'He only preys on desperate and naive women. Damn it, my mom is so stupid!'

Matt cursed Harry and Mary in his heart but said nothing as he waited for his mom to tell him her plan to get more money from Kate. 

"So what do you have in mind, Mom?" Matt asked. 

"Do you remember the case about Kate and Erin's father?"

"Oh, David Ross?" Matt tried to remember as that case was long ago. "You mean, the one when he got arrested for pedophilia and child molestation?"

"Yes! Oh, that news was big back then. People were alienating her and her family because they didn't want to be involved with a family of pedophiles," Mary recalled. "Don't you remember how much Hilda and her family hate that man? I bet they are ashamed of him."

"Uh-huh…" Matt still didn't get what his mother intended to do with this old information. 

Yes, Kate and Erin's father were arrested back then because of child molestation. But that was long ago. There was no use in bringing up the past.

Mary facepalmed as she realized Matt didn't understand her intention, "Matt, I have the newspaper clipping of David Ross' arrest. I found it in Hilda's bedroom. I will take a picture of the newspaper clipping, and you can use this to blackmail Kate. Of course, a high-ranking working lady wouldn't want her family's secret to be out in public, right?" 

"Oh, you're right, Mom. We can use that to blackmail her!" Matt agreed. "I know that Kate is very respected in her office. Of course, she wouldn't want her family's filthy secret to get out!"

"You tell me, son!" Mary grinned as she imagined the panic in Kate's eyes.

All this time, she always hated Kate's guts.

She always thought that Kate had always looked down on her and Matt. She thought that the infertile skank was just naturally a snob, or maybe she tried to cover her infertile insecurity by acting arrogantly.

Nevertheless, Mary disliked that woman!

How could she act like she owned the apartment and fed them daily? 

'Even if it becomes true in the end, she should still be an obedient wife to my son!' Mary thought. 

"I know that Kate is not that good. She must've been using her body to get such a high position in her office," Mary said. "I mean, she is a woman. Do you really think a woman can earn a high position with hard work? Hah, my foot!"

"Hehe, rather than hard work, it's more like… hand work, hahaha!" Matt laughed with his mother as they mocked Kate. 

They still didn't believe that Kate was that good to the point that she could earn six to seven figures a year in her office. She must've used her body because she was born into a filthy family!
