Chapter 4
“Huhl What do you have to say now?”
Seeing that the situation was favorable to her side, the mother–in–law immediately threw at tantrum and put on a show of the small–minded person’s success to the fullest.
She exaggeratedly waved this flowing record, wishing to project it onto the big screen for every
quest to see.
“My son really gave her a dowry of 288,800 dollars. That little bitch denied it just now, but now she’s been proven wrong
“Everyone saw it, she was acting in collusion with her mother, just to deceive my husband’s life–saving money. And she had the audacity to call the police, it’s truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black!”
“I have searched online and found that the law supports the man in reclaiming the dowry. There have been previous cases where the woman was sentenced for refusing to return the money. Lina, it would be best for you to return the money now, or else we will send you to jail!”
As soon as she heard that I was going to jail, my mom was so scared that she kept shaking her
hands.
“No, I can’t go to jail, Lina. What on earth is going on?”
“What’s going on? Isn’t it your good daughter? She stole the dowry money from my house and now she’s pretending to be innocent here!”
My mother’s face turned even paler from my mother–in–law’s sharp and sarcastic words. She breathed heavily, trembling uncontrollably from anger.
I was afraid that the nightmare from my past life would happen again, so I quickly pleaded with the
police.
“My mother wasn’t feeling well, can we take her to the hospital first?”
The investigating police officer nodded, just about to agree, but the mother–in–law grabbed my mother’s arm and rudely said, “What do you mean? You two still want to run away? Let me tell you! Today, if you don’t return the money, no one is allowed to leave!”
I couldn’t bear it anymore and pushed her.
“What nonsense are you talking about! I said I didn’t take any money from your house! I haven’t touched that card since you gave it to me!”
“Ouch! Someone is hitting! Everyone, come and see! Is there no justice left in this world?”
I gave just a gentle push, but my mother–in–law screamed like a slaughtered pig. She weakly took
Chapter
two steps back and fell into Noah’s arms.
As soon as Noah saw that I dared to lay hands on my mother–in–law, his face immediately changed.
He slapped me hard and looked at me with a disappointed expression.
Lina, you were really out of line this time,
I know you grew up in a single–parent family and have a relatively weak sense of family affection, but you should not disrespect my mother!
“You must apologize to my mother immediately, otherwise I will really hold you accountable!”
The guests in the audience were mostly relatives of the Andrade family. When Noah said those words, everyone immediately became angry and started shouting loudly, demanding that I apologize to Noah and his mother–in–law. Some even threw the leftover drink bottles at me. In a moment, I went from being a radiant bride to a disheveled mess.
“Pay back! Apologize!”
It’s like being a prostitute and still wanting to set up a memorial arch! You have the guts to take someone else’s 288,800 dollars, but why don’t you have the guts to admit it?
“He even claimed that he wasn’t a gold digger, but you had emptied the lifelong savings of that elderly couple.”
“The dowry was received and gone in just two days. It’s obvious that this person is a professional. Who knows how extravagant they are outside? Now, I just want to find an honest person to take over!”
“Oh my God, how disgusting! How could there be such a woman?”
“Could it be that her mother raised her in this way? This is passing on the family legacy!”
The guests‘ words became increasingly offensive, and someone even took out their phone to live
stream the scene.
Does my rebirth have no meaning at all, and can I only endure such humiliation and injury over and over again?
In the blink of an eye, I suddenly realized something and exclaimed loudly, “Comrade police! I want to file a report!”
