Contracted Bride Is Trapped By Her Husband - Chapter 183

“Mother! I’m not leaving. I want to stay here and hear the answer with my own ears.”

Maria’s stubbornness gave Mrs. Wilson a headache. She did not understand why the cute and obedient girl would grow up like this.

Without Maria knowing it, Mrs. Wilson’s love for her was already diminishing.

Although Mrs. Wilson felt a headache because she couldn’t get Maria to leave, the most important thing now was to figure out what was going on. Did Mr. Wilson have a mistress outside? If not, why did he stop giving her living expenses?

Mrs. Wilson shifted her gaze from Maria to Bard. “I want to ask the exact question Maria asked.”

Being asked by Mrs. Wilson and Maria, Bard had no choice but to answer, “Maybe it’s because the company is temporarily facing some problems and is short of funds, so Mr. Wilson didn’t give you your living expenses in time. When Mr. Wilson gets the revenue, he’ll give you the living expense on time.”

“Of course, I’m just making a guess. Mr. Wilson might have been too busy with work that he forgot about it.”

“Madam and Miss, I think it’s best if you ask Mr. WIIson in person.”

Mrs. Wilson was not satisfied with this answer from Bard, but she knew that this was as much as Bard could tell her.

After all, he was Mr. Wilson’s assistant. If he said something he shouldn’t have, he might lose his job.

Humans were selfish creatures. Mrs. Wilson and Bard did not have any personal relationship, so Bard would not take such a risk for her.

Maria, who was sitting beside Mrs. Wilson, wanted to throw a tantrum, but she was pressed down by Mrs. Wilson. “Thank you for telling us that. I’ll go look for him later.”

“It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you any longer.”

The sun was still high in the sky. Mrs. Wilson said that because she didn’t want Bard around anymore as he was useless now.

Fortunately, Bard did not want to stay here either and waste his time with the mother and daughter. Instead of staying with them, he’d better hurry home and order a fried chicken while watching the football match.

Bard walked out of the Wilson mansion. As soon as he was gone, Maria, who was pressed down by Mrs. Wilson, broke free, looking displeased.

“Mother, how can you let him go so easily? He is obviously keeping something from us. That’s unforgivable!”

“Why are you saying thanks to a guy like that? What is there to thank him for? You should give him a slap and let him know who he is working for!” Maria shouted unhappily.

Seeing how angry Maria was, Mrs. Wilson pinched her eyebrows and said, “You’re already an adult. Can you use your brain to think?”

“Although he didn’t tell us the answer, he gave us some hints.”

“And the person who pays him is your father. He works for your father. If your father knows that we secretly called Bard over and asked him a lot of questions behind his back, not only will he be fired, but we will also be in trouble.”

“You know that your father hates it when people talk about him behind his back.”

Although Maria didn’t believe Mrs. Wilson, the tough attitude Mrs. Wilson showed made her shut up obediently.

However, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Are we just going to let it go like this? Are you really going to ask Father why he didn’t give us our living expenses?”

“If I don’t ask, what are we going to do with our lives?”

Hearing that, Maria was lost for words. After some moments of silence, Maria suddenly patted her thigh and her eyes lit up.

“I’ve got a good idea!”

“What?”

“I can go and find Master Aren and get him to help us,” Maria said excitedly.

Looking at Maria’s excited face, Mrs. Wilson slowly closed her eyes, hopeless about the intelligence of her daughter.

“You want to ask Aren for our living expenses? Are you crazy?” At this moment, Mrs. Wilson only wanted to open up Maria’s mind and see what her brain was like. How could she say such a ridiculous thing!.
