"You think your family is so harmonious? Your wife and daughter, which of them doesn't see your son as a thorn in their side? How well can they treat Tommy with their attitudes?" Mrs. Smith also got angry, especially annoyed at Paul Edwards' seemingly self-righteous tone!
They might be poor, but that doesn't mean they lack backbone!
Thinking that they could easily be bought and have their spine bent with just a dismissive wave of 10 million dollars? What a joke!
"We don't care about your filthy money! Who do you think you are? Take your check and get lost!"
Paul Edwards didn't speak, he just looked at Emma Smith: "Miss Smith, what's your opinion?"
Emma only smiled: "Mr. Edwards, at first, I thought you at least genuinely cared for Tommy, that you really liked him and wanted to keep him. But now, I just feel - you're pitiful!"
She said, tearing the check in half, causing a crisp "tearing" sound, like a fluttering butterfly, instantly turning it into a pile of waste paper!
