Once the money was deposited, Theodore Hughes didn't hesitate. He quickly packed his things, transferred some money to his mother, made up an excuse, and went into hiding.
Before leaving, Theodore Hughes had solemnly promised his mother that after a while, once he struck it rich, he would bring her over to live a life of luxury.
Although Mrs. Hughes didn't know what her son had done, she knew it couldn't be anything good.
Otherwise, why would the son who was always asking her for money suddenly transfer some to her? It was strange, no matter how she thought about it.
All the local businesses knew about Theodore Hughes's rotten character, so none of them would ever hire him.
But Mrs. Hughes never considered calling the police. She was getting old and couldn't bear another shock.
So now, she felt that as long as her son had his own path forward, all she needed to do was live her own life.
