Chapter 4197

Holden was speechless. Money had never been his strong suit. When Clarissa was alive, he rarely had more than $500 to his name. After their children grew up, he would discreetly ask them for cash. For a time, he lived comfortably and carefree, but that money eventually ran out. He never saved a penny.

The truth was, Holden had a tendency to spend irresponsibly. Saving simply wasn’t in his nature. He didn’t own any businesses or properties—Clarissa had kept him on a tight budget. The house in his hometown was built with her money, but it wasn’t in his name; it belonged to his three sons.

After Clarissa passed away, his sons supported him in his old age. Each of them provided over $100,000 a month for living expenses. Altogether, this amounted to hundreds of thousands monthly, allowing Holden to enjoy a relaxed life back home. He managed to save just over a million, but that was all.

Now, he wanted to hire the best lawyers for his sons, and that million might not be enough.

Holden turned to his daughters-in-law. “Don’t tell me you’re broke. When your mother-in-law was alive, she provided you with a monthly allowance. Your families have money too. What happened to the dowries and betrothal gifts from your weddings? Are they all gone? If each of you contributes two million, we’ll have four million. Isn’t that sufficient? If it’s not, ask your kids to help out. They inherited plenty from Clarissa. It’s only fair they assist in saving their own father.”

Amora didn’t hesitate. “Dad, that’s not feasible. We don’t have that kind of money. We can spare a hundred thousand, but two million? No way. Sure, our families have some assets, but we have brothers to consider. The dowry money was spent years ago. We’ve been married for so long—how could we still have that? The property…”

Mom left the kids something that belongs to them. It’s meant for their education and future businesses. We can’t interfere with that; we’re merely managing it on their behalf.” Holden was furious. “So, you’re saying you won’t lift a finger to save your husbands? How heartless can you be? Is this Kathryn’s influence? Is she preventing you from helping Marco and the others?”

Anya retorted, “Dad, you can say what you want, but our husbands haven’t been saints. They’ve cheated on us and had mistresses—did they ever consider our feelings? And when they crossed Kathryn, did they think about the consequences? Did they consider us or the kids?

If they had, they wouldn’t have resorted to kidnapping or attempted murder. The law doesn’t favor anyone. We can’t save them, and frankly, they deserve to face the consequences.”

Holden pointed at Anya, seething. “Noel married a viper like you? Are you trying to emulate Erika? You’re his wife!”

Amora scoffed. “Wife? Dad, haven’t you heard? Birds of a feather flock together, but when disaster strikes, they scatter. My sister-in-law is right. If they’d truly thought about us and the kids, they wouldn’t have acted as they did. Kathryn is their own sister, and look at how they treated her. If we don’t allow the law to take its course, who’s to say they won’t turn against us next? If they can do that to their sister, what’s stopping them from doing worse to us? We’re just their wives, and they’ve betrayed us more times than we can count.”
