Chapter 387
This great disparity between them drove Emily to the verge of breaking down.
In the past, Lacey was lesser than she. She had to depend on herself to keep her steel factory alive.
But now, Lacey was so much better than her!
Emily was unwilling to accept this cruel reality.
Pushing her bank card into Emily’s hand, Lacey said, “Emily, take this money to support your family.”
However, her words triggered Emily.
“Go away!” Emily howled in a fit of rage, “Are you trying to pity me? Ha! I, Emily Clemons do not need your charity!
Lacey Hinton, you were lesser than I was in the past. Now, you are still lesser than I, and you will still be in the
future. One day, I will climb on top of you. Just you wait and see!”
Like a crazy woman, she snapped the bank card into two and threw it onto the floor before riding off in her electric

Lacey shouted for her, but Emily did not look back, afraid that her tears would expose her cowardice.
Lacey sighed, “Why would she do that?”
Zeke flicked Lacey’s forehead. “Sigh, you’re too kind...” He nagged, “You need to know that the kindest people
always get bullied. Next time, just stick by my side. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.”
Lacey covered her forehead in annoyance. “Hey! Be gentler! My forehead is going to be bust open soon.”
Zeke replied innocently, “You just need to flick me back.”
Lacey’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. Bending her fingers, she flicked Zeke’s forehead harshly.
“Ouch! My fingers...your forehead is not made up of wood, but metal!” Lacey groaned as she retracted her fingers.
The family were having a great time as they went home.
At home, Grandma had fallen asleep on the couch. On the other hand, Sharon had her eyes wide open and was
watching the television intently.
Although she had fallen asleep, Grandma had her hand wrapped around Sharon’s wrist, afraid she would run away.
At the sight of the Hinton family coming home, Sharon’s eyes lit up. After carefully releasing her elbow from
Grandma’s grip, she ran towards Lacey with outstretched arms. “Godmother! Give me a hug.”
Lacey pulled Sharon into an embrace dotingly. Squeezing her cheeks lightly, she asked, “Was Sharon obedient
today?”
“Shh, keep your voice down. Grandma is sleeping.” Sharon reached out her finger and placed it on her lips.
Lacey lowered her voice and praised, “Sharon is so obedient.”
To which the little girl replied, “Sharon will be good. Grandma said if I am obedient, she will make me a red velvet
cake.”
All of a sudden, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Breaking free from Lacey’s embrace, Sharon
ran into the bedroom.
The members of the Hinton family looked at each other in confusion. They were all unsure of what Sharon was up

Some moments later, Sharon ran out of the bedroom with a gift box in her arms.
With much difficulty, she raised the box. “Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy and Mummy, here’s a gift from Sharon to
you.”
Hannah beamed a wide smile. “Sharon is growing more and more obedient. She even has a gift for Grandpa and
Grandma.”
“Quick, open it! What did Sharon give us?” Hannah added excitedly.
Lacey quickly opened the box.
Four slices of red velvet cake sat neatly inside the box.
However, it seemed like the red velvet cake had been in the box for some time. Two slices had already started to
become moldy.
The other two slices seemed to be very fresh.
Hands trembling slightly, Lacey’s eyes reddened, “Sharon, where did you get the red velvet cake?”
Sharon replied proudly, “These are the slices Grandma made for me because I was a good girl.”
