If it were just Vanessa, she would have been willing to tolerate her. But three more people?
Sure, she could afford it—she had plenty stored away—but she didn't want to.
This was the first time Wendy had ever exploded like this. Even Tommy was momentarily stunned.
But once he recovered, embarrassment turned into anger. He shoved her hard.
"A man runs this household. Since when is this your business?!"
Wendy laughed in disbelief, fury blazing in her eyes. "Not my business? The supplies in this house were bought by me!"
She had warned them long ago to stock up. No one had listened. If the house was overflowing with food now, it was entirely because of her.
Tommy shot back loudly, "So what if you bought them? It was still family money—Dad's money!"
That was the final spark.
Yes, she had used George's money.
But she had done it for the family.
If not for her foresight, would they be living so comfortably in this disaster?
And him?
