Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Marilyn was super excited and told her neighbors, "Have a seat. Steph, go get some fruits and entertain everyone." "Okay, mom. Here's your bag, and here's mine. There's a lot of cash in it. Mom, remember to pay them back double!"

"I got it."

"Hahahaha, Marilyn, you really scored a good one with your daughter! No need for double. It's chump change; we didn't even expect it back when we loaned it."

Marilyn shook her head and said, "This is what we should do. We'll pay you back double as Steph said. We're not flaunting our wealth, that money was literally a lifesaver back then, otherwise how could I have waited for Steph to start working and pay for my medical bills!" The neighbors didn't say much after hearing this.

Each of them happily took the double repayment of the original loan.

Seeing that everyone accepted the money, Stephanie prepared to go out and buy things.

She took Sebastian with her because there were too many people at home and she was afraid Silver Fox might feel uncomfortable.

As soon as they stepped out, Sebastian jokingly said, "Richie rich Steph?"

"Humph...Silver Fox, are you making fun of me!"

"Not at all."

Stephanie said, "Silver Fox, you have no idea how desperate I was back then. My mom's life savings were almost gone shortly after entering the hospital. We didn't even have money for her treatment. I cried and begged my relatives for money, even knelt down, but they still refused for various reasons...

I'll never forget in my life how those so-called relatives trampled on my dignity. They even said that I was a girl, good-looking, and I could make enough money to save my mom...

My mother's relatives finally gave me fifty bucks, threw it in my face, and told me to get lost. I didn't take that money in the end."

Sebastian frowned and asked, "Are you sure they're blood-related to you?"

"Not anymore, they've nothing to do with me since then! Even if my mother wants to forgive them, I'd never agree!"

Steph had a rough past, indeed.

Her mom was seriously ill, and her relatives only lent her fifty bucks, and even threw it in her face...

No wonder they were so generous to their neighbors now.

"Silver Fox, it's not over yet, just wait and see. They will definitely come knocking at the latest by tomorrow."

"Do we kick them out?"

"They are my mother's relatives, she's not that heartless."

"So what's your plan?"

"If my mom insists on being

merciful, won't say anything more. I want to avoid conflict with her and make her angry, but they shouldn't expect any benefits from us won't give them any money!"

Sebastian laughed and said, "Okay, no money for them."

"Silver Fox, I made a fool of myself..."

"Not at all, both you and Mrs. Bishop are good people."

"Silver Fox, you're the best! Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

That evening, many neighbors brought their families to Stephanie's house for dinner.

But they all knew how to cook, so there were many willing helpers.

Marilyn barely had to lift a finger, and all the dishes were prepared and served.

The neighbors became even warmer towards the mother and daughter.
