After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 23

"Well, Grandma, I have to go now. I have something to do this afternoon." Sylvia hugged Kira and left with Mark.

Kira stood where she was and watch them disappear from her view. She stayed for a while longer before turning back.

She bent over and galumphed home. In the sunlight, her shadow got longer.

It took Kira more than ten minutes to get home.

"Mom, do you remember what I tell you before? Why didn't you do as you promised?" Otto glared at Kira.

Kira stood in the doorway, with her head down, not saying a word. She looked like a schoolboy being disciplined.

"Do you want me to go bankrupt?" Otto yelled in annoyance, "Do you know how much I have to pay if this matter is not handled? If I lose all my money and the villa, you will have to live on the street! I'm housing and supporting you, or you can't even make a living."

Kira stood in the doorway and remained silent. She saved every penny to bring Ottos up, but he changed a lot.

Skyla stood behind Otto and rolled her eyes, "Mom, Otto is really in trouble now. The breach of contract should be at least 20 million. Otto sleeps badly and doesn't feel like eating these days. If Sylvia doesn't help us and cure the old Mr. Wilson, we all have to live on the street. I told you what to say yesterday, but why did you say nothing about it just now? As long as you ask Sylvia for help, Sylvia will agree without hesitation."

"Anyway, Otto has told Sibbie about it," Kira said in an unhappy tone. In her mind, it was too demanding for Sylvia to change the whole situation.

They couldn't ask Sylvia to do what even Otto failed to manage.

Therefore, Kira didn't want to get Sylvia involved in it.

"But she didn't say she was going to do it. I need her to take action. I'm not as persuasible as you. You are too innocent. What an ingrate! She even stands by and does nothing when her father is in trouble." The more Otto thought about it, the angrier he became.

"What do you have in your pocket? Why is it so bulging?" Skyla saw Kira's pocket, quickly walked up to her, and reached inside.

"There's nothing in it." Kira tried to protect it, but Skyla, who was much stronger than Kira, directly pulled out the black bag. Skyla opened it and saw the money, screaming, "My goodness! I can't believe you have the 20 thousand I lost a few days ago."

"No, I didn't take yours. Sibbie gave the money to me just now." Kira was dumbfounded. "It's not yours!"

"Honey, you know about the money I lost the other day." Skyla's face was contorted with rage. She took the money and slammed it down on the back of Kira's hands. "We've supported you for so long, but you steal my money. How dare you!"

Skyla got increasingly angry. Ignoring Kira's swollen hands, she continued to hit Kira with the money, "I've been so nice to you. I give you whatever you want. Do you know the loss of the money worried me for many days? You are biting the hand that feeds you!"

"Well, Mom is old and confused, so don't be too hard on her." Otto yanked Skyla in annoyance.

"Otto, Skyla, I did take the money from Sibbie." Kira, with tears in her eyes, was angry and aggrieved. She said with shame and anger, "Whatever happens, I will not steal anything from anyone. I've never even seen your money. I haven't even been to your room."

Kira shared a maid's room downstairs with the maids.

The villa had many guest rooms, but Skyla thought Kira was too old and dirty to live in a guest room.

Kira knew Skyla's disgust against her, so Kira seldom left the maid's room, even not daring to step into the dining room or the living room.

Hence, it was impossible for her to steal the money in Skyla's room.

"You got no right refuting! Do you really want our family to fall apart?" Otto roared and threw his hands at Kira, who was then caught off guard and slammed herself into the security door behind her.

With a bang, the back of her head thumped on it.

Kira felt her head hit by dizziness. She slid slowly down the door, falling to the ground.

"Stop pretending. I didn't use any strength. You are not that fragile, are you? You must apologize to my wife today." Otto kicked Kira again. "We house you and support you, but you steal money from us. You deserve this!"

Kira's eyes were blurred. As an aged woman, she almost fainted from a headache.

She tried to rise to her feet, but couldn't use her strength at all.

What was worse, Otto kicked Kira for the second time, which make her curl up on the floor and moan in pain.

Very soon, her forehead was covered with sweat.

Kira was overwhelmed by a severe headache.

Skyla squatted down in front of Kira, pulled her up, and pinched her arm with a twisted face. Kira cried out in pain and looked at Skyla's creepy face with difficulty. "I ... I did not steal the money. I never steal money."

"Sylvia didn't even take a handbag with her when she came. Her pajamas didn't even have a pocket, so where did she get the money for you? You are bad at lying!" Skyla glared at Kira with eyes wide open.

"Forget it, now that the money has been found, you don't have to be angry anymore." Otto comforted Skyla, who was still in a rage, "After all, she is my mother. I can't drive her out."

"Anyway, I don't want to see her again." Skyla threw Kira away and sat down on the couch, rolling her eyes at Otto. "I'm telling you, if it weren't for me, our family would have fallen apart."

Skyla was a troublemaker, but she was good at attracting investment from other companies. Therefore, she helped Otto many times.

Otto spoiled Skyla, indulging her every whim. Instead, he got increasingly unsatisfied with Kira. He hated it when she denied stealing money.

"From now on you'll live in the utility room."

"Mr. Andrews, the utility room is dirty and messy. It's summer now, so it's too hot for the old Mrs. Andrews to live in it without an air conditioner," The maid named Una whispered.

Looking at Kira's distressed look, Una was a little worried.

However, as a maid hired by Otto, Una couldn't do anything with that.

"Air conditioning is not good for the old. Hurry up and pack up for her. It's none of your business." Skyla rolled her eyes and cried again on the couch.
