I went to knock. Somehow, they were so wrapped up in their fun that they hadn't locked the door, and it swung open as I pushed.
Inside, I found Sophie in Connor's lap, kissing him passionately.
I lost it and stormed over, yanking them apart.
"Where's the 100,000 dollars I saved for Mom? Give it to me now!" I demanded.
Sophie, who had been cozying up to Connor, turned cold as she saw me.
She snapped, "Bradley, I've told you. Wait till Connor wins, and I'll get the money. Man, stop being jealous.
Enough with your calls, and now you show up here? Really?"
Her eyes flashed with disdain and disgust.
The looked at me like I was a jerk who ruined their happy time.
But right then, I couldn't care less about their feelings. Julia was dying.
Anxiously, I said, "Look, Sophie, I don't care what you're up to with Connor. Mom's had another heart attack and is in the emergency room waiting for the money. Just give me the 100,000 dollars I set aside for her, and I'll leave.
Even if you two were in bed together, I wouldn't care right now."
Before I could finish, Sophie slapped me across the face.
