Welcome To My Life

Just when Isobel sent Amanda away, the news got to Martha.

When she heard that, Martha knitted her brows, "What does she want?"

The person bringing the news shook his head, "I don't know, but it's not the first time that she had taken her mother like this."

Martha squinted her eyes, "Didn't I tell you to make a big scene for her?"

The person felt being in a pickle, "We did plan for Amanda to win a few rounds today, but just in the beginning, Isobel already came and took her, Miss Sutton, this..."

"You are useless!"

Martha took a lamp near her and threw it on the ground, "Keep your eyes on Isobel's mother, as soon as Isobel is distracted, do it!"

"Yes, Miss Sutton, we will get it done as you wish."

If they wanted a gambling addict not to gamble, it would be difficult, but wanting the same addict to enter a casino, was very easy.

When the car stopped downstairs of the apartment building, Amanda already stopped struggling, she looked at the familiar place outside the window, "What do you want to do? I have won a lot of money this time, look, I kept it all for you! I know that you had a hard life before, that's why I want to win a big one this time, so you and me will never have to worry about money again, then you will never feel that you are not good enough for Hamish anymore."

When they left the casino, Amanda came back to her senses again, even though her words were mostly lies, she was thinking for Isobel.

Isobel also knew that Amanda was saying those nice words to lie to her, but she couldn't help to give in, "Mom, take your ID card and registry book, let's leave this place."

"Why? Your father is buried here, where could I go?"

When she was clear in her head, Amanda still loved Thomas, sadly, she wasn't clear so often.

Isobel felt puckery, "Mom, please let's just leave this place, I am begging you!"

Amanda looked at her doubtful, and didn't answer.

After a while, she finally said, "I heard that you broke up with Hamish, are you pregnant and that's why you want to leave this place, and give birth to the baby somewhere else, so he never finds out? I am telling you, Isobel, this will never happen! You have to abort the child, don't do stupid stuff!"

Amanda was barking at the moon, but at the same time, she guessed a lot right.

Isobel remembered the baby she just lost not long ago, and felt even worse, "I am not pregnant, I just want to leave."

She had barely cried in front of her parents, but today, she closed her eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks.

Amanda only then noticed how pale she was in her face, when her tears ran down, even someone who wasn't her mother, would have felt bad for her, and she had held her 10 months in her belly, she was her blood related mother.

"Hey, don't cry."

The other two passengers and the driver knew how to behave in this situation, and got out of the car, so it was only Amanda and Isobel left.

No matter how hard the past ten years were, Isobel had never cried in front of Amanda.

But today, she couldn't hold it back anymore.

The first fifteen years of her life, she was spoiled by her parents, she used to be the little princess who threw tantrums in front of them, but the day of the car accident, everything changed.

Now her relationship ended, her father passed away, all she wanted was a big warm hug that could comfort her and tell her everything will pass.

But there was none.

What she did have were phone calls of her mom asking for money.

Amanda looked at Isobel, and felt pain in her heart.

She never went to the casino and gambled for her own sake, she always wanted to give her family something.

But she almost always lost her

games, she wanted to make her

family better, she wanted to give her

husband a better place to recover she wanted to give her daughter a chance to study at a better

ov

environment, but things mostly went athwart.

Amanda didn't even know how she got into the casino, maybe it was life that was not allowing her to breath, her daughter's tuition fees, her husbands treatment fees gave her no way out, so she took a short cut,

but never knew that there were no short cuts in this life.

When Amanda saw Isobel looking like this, she did feel some guilt, "Isobel, don't cry, I promise, okay?"

Isobel wiped her tears, she closed her eyes and didn't look at her, "I will wait here for you, go and get your ID and registry book, take some important things, everything else we will just leave behind." "Alright."

When Amanda saw that Isobel stopped crying, she left the car.

Watching Amanda leave, Isobel felt some relief, her mother did love her.

When they leave City N, She will help her mother get clean.

About half an hour later, Amanda came back to the car, Isobel looked at her, "Get in the car, mom."

Amanda nodded, and got it.

She held on to the seat, and leaned forward, looking at Isobel she wanted to speak but stopped on second thought, "Isobel, are we really leaving?"

She lived in this city for more than 30 years, and today when they said they were going to leave, Amanda had some doubts.

But Isobel was very determined, "Yes, I will go home and get some things, and tomorrow morning, we will take a flight out." Amanda seemed as if she wanted to say more, but when she remembered how Isobel looked before, she swallowed it. Isobel took Amanda back to her apartment, and started making phone calls to take care of her properties. Hamish had left her a lot of money, after they broke up, he asked his assistant to change the villa under her name.

Before yesterday, she still had some hope, but today, she had nothing on her mind anymore.

The villa was built in a nice area, it had an estimate of 100 thousand per square meter, and the whole house was about 300sqm. It wasn't very big, but in that area, this house costed almost 30 million. Isobel wanted to sell the house as soon as possible, so she rounded the number to an even 30 million.

Then there were two cars under her name, and the apartment she was living in right now, she asked Yasmin to sell everything as soon as possible.

Yasmin knew a lot of people, and they were all the upper class, so after she got the word out, a lot of people started calling her.

That villa was like a end of season sale, and if Yasmin had the spare money on hand, she would have bought it herself.

In the beginning, Yasmin didn't notice anything, but then suddenly one of her friends commented: Hey, Yasmin, you are selling houses and cars, are you trying to leave? What happened, did Freddie annoy you again?

She didn't read the rest anymore, all she was thinking about was the words "trying to leave."

When she realized that, she called Freddie.

Freddie was at a business dinner and already a bit dizzy, "oh my dear, I am at a dinner, what are you up to again?"

Yasmin on the other end of the line

did not want to fight with him, "Something happend Freddie, I am telling you, today, Isobel suddenly asked me to sell all the property under her name, this is big, I feel something is not right!"

"That's nothing, Isobel always did such big things, maybe she..."

While talking, Freddie suddenly realized the problem.

He cursed a few words, "This really is big, don't say anything to Isobel, let me call Hamish!"

When he hung up the phone, Freddie didn't even care to go back to the dinner, he drank three shots as a punishment, and left to see Hamish.
