Chapter 718 Do You Acknowledgeas Your Mother The butler didn't take it. "Mrs. Davis, you and Mr. Davis are married, so Mr. Davis's money is your marital property. It's only natural for you to spend it. If you don't, then no one else has the right or reason to." Penelope replied, "We have everything we need at home. I don't need to use it." "Please take it. If you really don't have anything to buy, you can get stoys and clothes for Miss Davis, or buy sfurniture for the King Manor." Under the butler's persuasion, Penelope accepted the bankcard.
She remembered Kelvin mentioning the bank card before, even scolding her for not using it.
She thought he just mentioned it casually and would forget about it later. Unexpectedly, he remembered it.
Someone like Kelvin, who was so busy, still kept her small matters in mind.
When Penelope was having breakfast, even the unsweetened milk tasted sweet.
After breakfast, Penelope went out to the hospital.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the head nurse standing by the bed, holding a POS card machine. "Mrs. Mitchell, this is your hospital bill for last week. Could you please settle it?" The head nurse was very polite. "Please take a look at the bill." "No need, just swipe it." Nicole handed over her bank card.
The head nurse swiped the card and reminded Nicole to enter the password.

People who could stay in a high-end VIP ward are either rich or noble. How could they not afford just a few thousand dollars! "What happened?" Nicole asked. "Can't it go through?" "Maybe there's a problem with the machine, so I thought of trying another card." Nicole, always good-tempered, didn't ask much and handed over another bank card.
The head nurse swiped it, but it still showed insufficient balance.
What was going on? The head nurse sneaked a glance at Nicole.
Nicole also realized something was off. "Still can't go through?" "It shows insufficient balance." The head nurse had to tell the truth. "Mrs. Mitchell, why don't you call your bank manager?" At this moment, Penelope stepped forward. "Use mine." She handed over the bank card.
Soon, the bill was successfully paid.
The head nurse handed back the card with both hands, smiling. "Maybe there's a problem with the bank. Just a few thousand dollars, how could there be insufficient balance. Mrs. Davis, please keep it." Penelope smiled. "Yes, it must be a system glitch. No problem, as long as it's paid. Sorry for taking your time." "Mrs. Davis, you're too polite. I'll leave now and not disturb you and Mrs. Mitchell." As soon as the head nurse left, Nicole sighed. "Good thing you cin time, Penelope, otherwise it would have been embarrassing."

"Brent cut off my card." Nicole had been using Brent's supplementary card.
After getting married, she managed the household and took care of the Mitchell family, without any incof her own.
But her resources, connections, and family background were enough to keep her well-off. She provided all these to Brent, willingly becoming the woman behind him.
Brent never shortchanged her financially, nor dared to, because everything he had was thanks to Nicole.
So, there had never been a problem, but today the card couldn't be swiped.
Nicole felt a bit gloomy.

She just didn't want to go back to her family and ask for money.
And she had never interfered with the Mitchell group's finances, which Brent always managed. She didn't understand it, and given the current situation, it would take stfor the Mitchell group to return to normal operations before she could get any money.
Moreover, the company was jointly owned by her and Brent. When it cto dividing assets in a divorce, there would be a lot of disputes and arguments.
As Nicole was thinking, a card suddenly appeared in her palm.

"Penelope, you acknowledgeas your mother?" "Yes, of course." Penelope nodded. "You gave birth to me, always searched for me, and prayed for me. How could I not acknowledge you?" Saying this, she firmly pressed the card into Nicole's palm. "This is my token of appreciation. As a daughter, it's my honor to support my mother." Nicole was moved to tears. "Penelope." "You must accept it." Penelope deliberately put on a stern face. "If you don't take this card, it means you don't acknowledgeas your daughter." Nicole's biggest wish had always been to find Penelope! How could she not acknowledge her? Penelope's words were both a threat and a bribe, making sure she had to accept it!
"Alright," Nicole said with tears in her eyes but a happy smile. "Without a husband, I still have a daughter. My daughter will supportand givemoney to spend!" "Yes, a daughter is more reliable than a husband. Mom, this card will never have an insufficient balance!" Nicole tightly held the card in her palm.
