Our Paths Never Crossed Again

Mona Leed met Hank Gould when he was a poor student and believed he was in love with her. He had hidden who he really was and had gotten close to her only to provoke his ex, Ivy Leed, the fake heiress who is also her sister. Mona stops chasing him. She marries Jim Judd of the Judd family instead. Jim has been in a coma, brain dead, since before the wedding. Around the same time a mother flies home to her village. Before the trip her daughter slips three thousand into her bag. She has barely landed when her son-in-law calls and calls her a leech, saying she has been draining them. She had spent her savings on the couple and given up everything for them. She takes her daughter to court and demands that the daughter and her family move out of the property. "If you don't divorce him, we're done," she tells her.
