Chapter 5
Because of my words, the noisy crowd fell silent for a moment.
But soon, the mother–in–law disdainfully scoffed.
“Report a case? What kind of trick are you trying to play again? No matter what tricks you pull, I’m telling you, today you must return the money to us.”
1, however, ignored her and pointed directly at Noah with a determined face, saying, “I am going to report him for suspected extortion!”
“Lina, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Noah furrowed his brow, never expecting that I would bring the war to his doorstep.
“Who did I blackmail? I just wanted you to return the dowry, and we could have peacefully parted ways. Is it necessary for you to smear my reputation like this?”
“That’s right! Stop slandering my son!”
As soon as I mentioned that I was going to report Noah, my mother–in–law immediately stood in
front of Noah like a protective mother hen, angrily scolding me with spittle flying everywhere.
“Why are you so naughty, little girl? Clearly, you made a mistake yourself, and now you want to
turn around and bite my son.”
“Everyone present saw it, it was clearly you who stole money from my house. There was originally 288,800 dollars on this card, but now there is only 28.88 dollars left. This money didn’t just disappear, can it fly away with wings?”
I watched her performance with a smile and calmly spoke.
“I admit that there was indeed 288,800 dollars on this card initially, but why are you so certain that I am the one who moved this money? Bank records can only prove the existence of a money transfer, but they cannot prove that I transferred this money, right?”
“This card was given to me by Noah, and besides me, he also had the ability to withdraw money
from this card.”
“Moreover, I only found out today that you guys would take back the 288,800 dollars. Since this
card was originally meant for me, why should I be in such a hurry to transfer the money? I could have slowly used this card for my expenses.”
“So, in terms of suspicion, Noah seems more like the person who secretly took away this money than me. Therefore, I hope the police comrades can investigate our recent assets and expenditure records to see who is really abnormal.”
“You!”
Chapter
My mother–in–law was so angry with me that she kept muttering words like “My son is not wrong in her mouth, while Noal’s expression seemed somewhat unnatural.
But at that moment, I had no time to consider what was going on in their minds. I just helped my mom up and rushed to the hospital.
My mother–in–law wanted to step forward to stop them and demand the 288,800 dollars from me, but before I could say anything, the police stopped them.
“Auntie, please trust our investigative abilities and wait for the results of the investigation. Now, could you please not trouble this lady?”
With the help of the police, even if my mother–in–law was unwilling, at this moment she could only watch us leave with resentment.
And as I passed by Noah, I casually plucked off the bridal veil that symbolized the bride’s identity, and threw it into his arms like disposing of garbage.
“Lina…”
Noah looked at me in a fluster, as if he wanted to hold me back.
I chose to leave without any nostalgia, such a person is not worthy of my love.
