Chapter 342

Aurelia flashed a sardonic smile, thinking, “What kind of rotten luck would a woman have to end up in this household?”

"What about this,” she proposed, “If Emma comes and pleads with me on Ritchie's behalf, I'll hire a lawyer and bail him out.”

Perla’s heart tightened. Now that Emma had moved out with her two daughters, the last thing she wanted was to beg her for anything.

"Why does she have to be the one to come?”

“Because I'm closer to her comparing to you guys,” Aurelia said, nonchalantly.

Perla grunted, “She moved out with her burdens, where am I supposed to find her? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”

Aurelia’s gaze turned icy, “Auntie Perla, you're also a woman. Are you a burden?”

Jelena snickered, “Only the ones who can’t make money are burdens, aren't they? Ritchie's in his thirties now, what can he do other than spend money? If one day you fall sick and are bedridden, can he even shell out a dime to help you?"

Perla was infuriated. In her eyes, her son was the best, incomparable to anyone else.

"Shut up, you brat!” she snapped. “You're an internet celebrity doesn't mean you're all that. Ritchie is the eldest son and grandson of the Hawthorne family. It's not your place to

criticize him.”

Aurelia leisurely sipped her soup, “Anyway, I've already stated my conditions. Whether you agree or not, it's up to you.”

Perla wanted to retort, but Rahul held her back, “Alright, go and persuade Emma, and ask her to move back in with the kids.”

Perla glared at him but said no more.

Belinda went for a stroll around the living room. After returning, she looked at Zack and said with hope, “Zack, your two children are doing quite well for themselves, making a good living. You and your wife are living in a grand mansion with maids to serve you, truly living a luxurious life. Your father and I are alone in Pebblebrook. Your dad's health isn't great. If something happens, you might not even get to see him one last time.”

She then began to sob, “I may have been a bit naive before, but Zack, I still love you. After all, you're my child”

Jolin understood her insinuation, “What are you talking about? If you and Dad want to move to Elysium, just do it. Ritchie's house was bought with your money, they can't possibly refuse to let you live there, can they?”

This statement was a slap in the face to Perla and Rahul.

Perla shot her a look, “Our small three-bedroom house can’t accommodate so many people. Your mansion here can easily fit twenty people, so why don't you let our parents live with you?”

Jolin retorted, "This mansion was bought by Avery. The house you're living in was bought by Mom and Dad. So, can't they live in their own house?”

Perla was stung by her words and seethed with anger.

At this point, the previously silent Leopold chimed in, “Grandma, Avery is a public figure. We need to respect her privacy. How about I buy a separate villa for you two in this neighborhood and hire two maids to look after you? What do you think?”

Belinda was so excited at this suggestion that she almost jumped off the sofa, nodding eagerly, yest

Aurelia was taken aback. She turned to him, about to reject the offer, but Leopold interrupted, “Since Grandma agrees, let's settle on this.”

Aurelia rubbed her forehead, thinking, “Having money sure makes one bold.” She quickly added, “I have two conditions. First, only you two can live in the villa, no one else is allowed. Second, I want Mom to manage your retirement funds. If you want to buy something, just let her know.”

Perla was immediately unhappy, “But we need that retirement money to pay Ritchie's mortgage. How can we give it to you?”

Aurelia replied, “Grandpa and Grandma have already paid for his house for three years. From now on, it's his turn to pay the mortgage.”
