I Disowned My Ungrateful Mother Chapter 9
I quickly settled into the new environment after moving to the new city. I no longer sent Mom money, and she did not reach out to me either. I did not feel sad. On the contrary, I felt light and relieved. It was like I had finally put down some heavy baggage. Jessie’s so-called coffee shop never opened. Mom did not seem to care. She would believe whatever Jessie said.One day, I was doomscrolling TikTok when I suddenly came across a familiar account. They wore full-faced helmets, but I recognized them instantly from their figures. It was Jessie and Ken. The account was filled with videos of the two of them riding the bike at high speed along winding roads. The footage was terrifying to watch. Yet those videos brought them a great deal of attention. The more dangerous the ride looked, the more likes they received. I watched only a few before closing the app and blocking the account. I did not dare to watch any more of them.If Jessie insisted on gambling with her life, tha

Jessie needed to be warded for a few days. Mom had to go home to cook and could not remain there constantly, so I filled in when she was gone. It was not busy at work that day, so I left early and went to the hospital. Before I reached the ward, I heard a man’s voice from inside. “Baby, when is your sister going to transfer the money? My friends are already waiting to see my new bike.” I peeked through the door crack. A man with tattoos was sitting beside Jessie’s bed. He was Ken Miller, Jessie’s boyfriend.“It should be in the next few days. I’ll pester her again later.” Ken broke into a grin and kissed her cheek. “I knew you could do it. I’ll take you for a ride once you’re discharged. I’ll even get you a pink helmet.” Everything became clear to me at that moment. There was no startup. She was scamming me to buy him a motorcycle.I knew Ken. He and Jessie had been together for a long time. I had strongly opposed it when I first found out. I even joined forces with Mom

“I don’t have much cash flow either. What exactly is your startup plan? Tell me,” I asked. “We’re going to open a boutique coffee shop. We would also sell desserts, hire a few influencers to promote it, and it would definitely take off. “Don’t worry, Mary. Just treat it as a loan. Once I start making money, I’ll pay you back.” I had years of working experience. I could tell at a glance that her plan was doomed. “I don’t think this will work. The coffee market is still oversaturated. Boutique coffee has no competitive edge anymore. I support you starting a business, but you need a different plan.”“You never tried. How do you know it won’t work? Just give me thirty thousand dollars as startup capital. Whether I lose or make money, I’ll pay you back. Alright?” Mom slammed the table. “It’s only thirty thousand. Why are you so stingy? You’re her sister. Who will help her if you don’t?” The familiar emotional blackmail made my head ache. I lost my appetite and set my cutlery do

“Jessie, don’t get down on your knees for her. Get up. This is all my fault. I raised such a wonderful daughter.” Mom tried to pull Jessie up. She glared at me and continued, “Have you forgotten how you broke your leg at school? Your worthless father wouldn’t even pay a single cent. It was me who took you to the hospital. I even sold my gold necklace to pay for your surgery. Have you forgotten all of that?” The memory stirred something inside me. My father was scum. He drank, he gambled, he cheated. He even beat Mom and me. A few months after Mom became pregnant with Jessie, he suddenly died.I had not grieved for him back then. I was relieved. At least Jessie would not grow up being beaten like us. Before Jessie was born, Mom had treated me well. She cooked my favorite dishes, secretly gave me pocket money for snacks, and stayed awake all night by my hospital bed. I sighed when I thought of that. “Forget it. I’ll cover the remaining costs of the birthday party. You don’t

“This is my daughter’s home. What law am I breaking by entering my own daughter’s place? On what grounds are you arresting me?” I heard Mom’s voice before I even stepped into the police station. “If that’s the case, why did you pry open your daughter’s door lock to get inside?” asked the police officer. That shut Mom up instantly. I walked in just then. Her eyes lit up when she saw me. “Mary! Tell the police it was all a misunderstanding!” I went over and saw Mom sitting beside Jessie. Both of them looked disheveled, their hair a mess, faces dusty and miserable.An officer stepped forward and asked me, “Are they your family? Were you aware that they forced open your door lock?” “Of course, she knew. It’s just a door lock. What’s there to make a fuss about? Mary, hurry up and tell them to let us go.” Mom snapped before I could answer. She wanted me to speak up for her, but even begging had its own etiquette. I shook my head and said calmly to the officer, “They are my m

Laughter quickly returned to the private dining hall after I left. When it was time to begin the meal, Mom stepped out to receive wishes from the guests. Just as the atmosphere of the party reached its peak, Liam entered the hall with several staff members. “Mrs. Radley, happy birthday on behalf of the hotel. This bottle of champagne is a gift from our hotel.” Mom’s aged face bloomed with a smile. “Thank you. This looks wonderful!”Before she could enjoy it, the bill was placed in front of her. “The total for this party comes to eighty thousand dollars. Would you like to pay by card or cash?” The dining hall was noisy, yet his words cut cleanly through the chatter, landing in everyone’s ears. Mom’s smile froze. “How much did you say?”“Eighty thousand dollars. Since this was a familiar booking, no deposit was collected beforehand. The full amount is due now.” Mom did not even have eight thousand dollars, let alone eighty thousand. It was impossible. She rummaged through
