As soon as Mr. Bates had left, Melissa could no longer hold back her anger, "Look at them! They are holding their noses up high in the air! Years have passed, and they haven't changed a bit. I don't understand how you put up with them."
"I tolerated them for ten years; that was nothing." That was indeed the truth, and if Victoria Greg hadn't insulted her mother, she wouldn't have flipped out on her. She had learned it long ago; the best way to deal with such people is to ignore them.
"You literally have no communication with the Greg's?"
"No, there's still one relationship between them and me."
"What is it?"
Edie smiled, "Creditor-debtor relationship, when I pay off the money they used to raise me, I no longer need to give in to Victoria."
"When are you going to pay them off? You can barely survive on what you earn. By the way, it was Stanley Greg's responsibility to raise you, and you shouldn't have to repay him!"
