MainNovelChapter 1349:
Mack couldn't help but think fifty thousand dollars would disappear in no time—hardly enough to satisfy him. He
shot a threatening glare at Ruby. “Hand over all the money you've got.”
Ruby had never seen her son look so intimidating. Fear crept in and she took a few steps back, clutching her
pocket tightly. “There's nothing left; I'm broke. Every tyou show up, it’s just to ask for money. Do you ever
think about your father? I'm the one caring for him day in and day out. Do you ever think about—"
Alec’s voice suddenly cut through the tension from another room, desperate and loud. “Who's out there?
Somebody help! I'm starving in here!”
A heavy thump echoed, as if something had hit the floor. But Ruby’s mind wasn’t on Alec. At this point, all she
cared about was holding on to her money. She wasn’t about to hand it over to either of her children. Mack saw
right through her act. He pulled Ruby’s hand away and snatched her phone. His eyes burned with anger as he

A knife appeared in his fist, the blade flashing dangerously as he aimed it at Ruby. “Do it. Now.”
Ruby's voice broke, equal parts hurt and shock. “I'm your mother! How could you threatenlike this?” Her
heart twisted with pain. She had never imagined her own son would go this far.
“Drop the act. Aren't you my mother? You can’t even givesmoney? When you die, won't all your money
be mine? So stop stalling!” Mack exclaimed. His rage boiled over, and he sent the dining table crashing to the
floor. Ruby shook with terror. “Mack, | can’t give you my money. Without it, how am | supposed to survive? | am
old and can’t work anymore.”
Mack's anger exploded. “Of course. It's always about you, isn’t it? You never once cared about me. Selfish to the
end.”
He pulled up the bankingon her phone. With a few taps, he drained her account, transferring every penny
into his own.

“Please, don’t do this to me. How am | supposed to live with nothing left? | can’t believe you'd do this to me! |
am your mother!” Ruby, desperate and heartbroken, lunged to snatch her phone away from him.
“Stay out of my way!” Mack snapped, kicking her.
Ruby fell to the floor, stunned, unable to get up right away. Once every cent had landed in his account, Mack
tossed her phone onto the floor. Ruby grabbed it with trembling hands and checked her balance, her heart
dropping at the sight of just a few dollars left.
“You monster...”
Alec dragged himself out of the bedroom, catching only a glimpse of Mack's back as he left. The sight of Alec
sent Ruby into a frenzy. She snatched a clothes hanger and swung it at him in rage.
“This is your fault! We're broke because of you! We'll be lucky if we have crumbs to eat now. | still have to look
after you. Why did | have to get stuck with a useless man like you? You've ruined everything!”
She lashed out harder and harder, unleashing all her pent-up bitterness on Alec. Meanwhile, Brenna sat at the
dining table, looking at the photos Isabella had sent. Her expression grew cold.
“You deserve every bit of this. Your real punishment hasn't even begun,” she muttered.
Just then, the front door opened, and Giselle stepped in, arms full of shopping bags. She immediately noticed the
tension on Brenna'’s face. “What happened? Are you in a bad mood?”
