He didn’t notice Leanne on the couch, and hurriedly asked for money. “How much do you have? Send it to me, | need it urgently.”
“Money, money again! Where do you think | can get any more money?” Violet burst out, “You’ve drained every penny we had. | bust my back all month to earn a few thousand, and you've already snatched it all away. Where am | supposed to get more?”
“Our son's allowance for next month, let me borrow that to tide me over first, I'll get it back to you in a few days.” “| have no money left!”
“Cut the crap!” Carl’s voice was harsh and pressing. “Hurry up, give me your phone.”

“And your high-society mom, what a stingy old bat, won’t even spare a dime...”
