Chapter 8 Charge

Author: Barbra Goodwin
Yves and my mother's relationship warmed up after that. My mother had forgotten a great deal of things, so he declined some of his non-urgent work to go on a trip with my mother.

They went to the places they used to go in an attempt to jog her memory, but it did little to help.

Queenie suffered the Internet's backlash ever since her true colors were exposed. The Zimmers and the Chandlers both despised her, and no one in the elite circle wanted anything to do with her. She vanished from the pu

  • My Gold-Digger Mom Needs Saving   Chapter 9 She's Back

    When I snapped out of it, I found myself curled on the bench outside the ICU. My fingers clenched around the imperial bracelet that had fallen from my mother's wrist in a white-knuckled grip. It was caked in soil and my mother's blood. It had cracked in two upon impact. My mind chanted over and over again that none of this would have happened if I hadn't opened that door.I was the deadweight dragging my mother down, and now I could be the reason she dies. I hung my head low, my tears splashing against the broken bracelet.Yves came and crouched before me. His white shirt was covered in dust and blood. He pulled me into his embrace. "It's not your fault, Tina. It's not. Your mother will be fine. I had the best doctors on the case."I grabbed his shirt tightly and finally started sobbing. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have opened that door. I'm the reason this happened!"He held me tightly, his throat bobbing. However, even he couldn't come up with any comforting words to soothe

    Yves and my mother's relationship warmed up after that. My mother had forgotten a great deal of things, so he declined some of his non-urgent work to go on a trip with my mother. They went to the places they used to go in an attempt to jog her memory, but it did little to help.Queenie suffered the Internet's backlash ever since her true colors were exposed. The Zimmers and the Chandlers both despised her, and no one in the elite circle wanted anything to do with her. She vanished from the public eye soon after.Time passed, and it was my mother's birthday. Due to recent events, Yves made sure the party was grander than ever. Crystal lamps dotted the venue, and there were 30% more guests than usual.Everyone knew my mother was no longer the overlooked woman in this family. That fact was hammered into their brains when she showed up in an aqua blue gown Yves had someone make just for her. She stood by his side, smiling gently.The rich ladies who used to look down on my mother w

  • My Gold-Digger Mom Needs Saving   Chapter 7 He Promises

    Yves slowly bent over and removed her fingers from his leg one by one. "Yvonne has nothing to do with this. I'm the one who fell for her, and I'm also the one who insisted on marrying her. You should've let the past stay in the past. I would've considered you a friend if you'd let sleeping dogs lie, but after everything you did today… You've disappointed me, Queenie."Queenie crumpled on the ground, her makeup smudged. She could no longer match the image Yves had for his one true love. I grabbed my mother and approached the two elderly women. Then, I bowed. "Thank you for defending my mother."My mother bowed as well, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you so much."Erin patted my mother's head as she smiled lovingly. "You saved my life, darling. I'm not so senile that I've forgotten about that. Come to me if you need anything."Liliana's lips were pursed as she harrumphed proudly. "Hmph. Don't thank me. You're my granddaughter-in-law. You don't need anyone else to defend

    Queenie said softly, "But judging from the photos on the Internet, she started wearing designer goods a few years ago and was seen in upscale restaurants with many men. You're telling me that's fake?"The men snapped out of it and chimed in, "Don't fall for her! She's an actress! That's the face she wore when she swindled my money! Do you really think she dated you because of who you are, Mr. Chandler? She wouldn't have cared about you if you weren't rich!"Yves' face darkened considerably. It had only been a year since he met my mother, fell in love with her, and married her. Before they got married, he swore up and down that my mother wasn't after his money. So, all the rumors about her gold-digging past over the last six months got to him a little.As time passed, a shadow of doubt began to take root in his mind.Just then, an imperious voice came from beyond the crowd, declaring, "I don't know much about her past, but I know that part of it involved saving my life!"Everyone

  • My Gold-Digger Mom Needs Saving   Chapter 5 Their Past

    I grabbed my mother and hopped into a car that drove us to Yves' company. My mind was working a mile a minute, coming up with plan after plan before discarding them just as quickly. I didn't know much about my mother's past, and she was useless now that she was suffering from amnesia. She never told me about her earlier years, and she certainly never mentioned how she got pregnant with me.All I knew was that she had poured every single cent she got on me. I also knew that she only became a gold digger because of the deadweight that was me. We'd gone through some awful dark days in the past. If she hadn't plotted and schemed her way to success, we'd probably still be living in a rundown rental and surviving on scraps.I had always wondered if my mother would be better off without me, but I never dared to voice my questions aloud.…When we arrived at the company, we immediately saw a man on the ground.He howled at the top of his lungs, "You have to help me, Mr. Chandler! Yv

  • My Gold-Digger Mom Needs Saving   Chapter 4 Back and Forth

    Dinner came to a satisfying end as my mother and Liliana grew closer after the ring debacle. Even Yves was looking at my mother with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Meanwhile, Queenie was forgotten and left to rot in a corner. After all, she had been gone for years, and there were just some things she couldn't pitch in about.Liliana then specifically asked Yves to take my mother and me home after dinner, while Queenie was sent home by a chauffeur. Queenie glared at my mother hatefully when we were waiting for our respective rides.Finally, she sneered, "I've truly underestimated you. You act like you're innocent, but I know that you're a scheming fox wearing sheep's skin. There's no way you aren't. That's how you got Yves to be so loyal to you."My mother might be like a naive little princess after having lost her memories, but she wasn't all that slow. So, she caught the malice lacing Queenie's tone. She frowned and was about to say something, but I interjected before she
