I said, “Listen up, you old hag. You and your precious son are both a total mess now. You’d better start treating me with some respect, or else…”
Iris puffed herself up and shot back,
“What are you going to do? Let me remind you, mistreating the elderly is a crime!”
I smirked, “A crime? Who’s going to back that up? Laws? Please. When you smothered my daughter, did you care about the law?”
Her eyes widened in shock. “You… you know? So this is revenge? How dare you! It’s just a bit of cash, and now you‘ re whining about how I’m spending it on a caregiver. That money was supposed to line. my pockets! How dare she use it!”
