Evelyn took a moment to compose herself before entering the room again.
"Mom, did Dad bring back the money?" Yvette asked, eagerly waiting for the answer.
Evelyn responded coldly, "No! You married an unreliable man, and so did I. Looks like we both made the wrong choice when..." She then paused, not wanting to add to her daughter's pain.
Yvette's eyes reflected disappointment. She knew that her family wouldn't be struggling if it weren't for her father. Despite feeling exhausted and on the brink of collapse, she held on, motivated by her love for Abigail.
Outside the house, Lyle felt uneasy. Sensing something was wrong, he dialed a number. "Find out where all the money I've sent is ending up!" he ordered.
Lyle was now certain that Evelyn and Yvette hadn't received the money.
