Chapter 9

Author: Bamboo Wine
The movers I hired stepped forward. Without touching the elderly woman directly, they lifted the chair she was sitting on and carried her outside along with the chair.

They did the same with the child, carefully moving him out as well.

Janine panicked and tried to grab her child, wailing and calling for help. However, she was swiftly escorted out by the movers.

One by one, every person sitting in chairs, lounging on the sofa, or lying in the bed was carried out—furniture and all—under the watchful eyes of the property manager, who was recording everything.

Fran, seeing this, immediately flung herself onto the ground. "You bunch of thieves! I'm not leaving! If you dare touch me, I'll smash my head right here and die before your very eyes!"

"Ms. White, what should we do?"

Faced with Fran's outburst, they didn't dare touch her in case she falsely accused them of assault. But without moving her, they couldn't get her out.

For a moment, even these strong movers couldn't get her out.

    Philip clung to the pillar and lowered his head in silence."You're close to retirement. The company was even considering promoting you further, which would mean better retirement benefits. But if you keep making a scene like this, forget about promotion—you might not even get a normal retirement," his colleague persuaded sincerely.Philip's expression wavered. He was clearly tempted but still hesitated, unwilling to let go.I chimed in calmly, "This apartment is mine. I have every right to evict you all. The renovation? I paid for that too. Philip, maybe you should go home and check on your house."Something clicked in his mind. He suddenly let out a roar and rushed back home.With everyone finally out, I had the moving company haul all of Janine's belongings out under the supervision of legal witnesses.I flung open the windows. Looking at the bright and spacious apartment, I felt rejuvenated.However, this was only the beginning. I wasn't done yet.…When we arrived at Phil

    I blinked innocently. "I didn't do anything. Since you guys made me Daniel's legal guardian, I have the right to transfer him to another school. I've already coordinated everything with the new school. He can transfer at the end of this semester."My apartment was located in the best school district in the city.Without my knowledge, Janine had registered me as Daniel's legal guardian and used my address to enroll him in a top school.If it weren't for reclaiming my property, I never would've known my school district registration had been hijacked, and that I had somehow become Daniel's legal guardian.Since they were shameless, I would have to be even more shameless to beat them at their own game.Using my legal guardian status, I contacted the school and requested a transfer for Daniel to a rural elementary school in an impoverished region.The Greens were utterly dumbfounded.Daniel was the apple of their eye. The thought of sending him to a poor, rural school was unthinkable

    Philip's eyes darted around as he tried to deflect. "How would I know why that happened?""Oh? You claim you have a way to transfer Daniel back, but do you also have a way to explain how he got registered under my name in the first place?"I had already done my research.Philip had abused his position at work, using backdoor dealings to sneakily register Daniel under my apartment's school district without my knowledge."Laura, stop making baseless accusations!""We'll see soon enough whether they're baseless or not. Philip, I heard your company was planning to promote you before your retirement, giving you a senior position for better benefits. Isn't that right?"Philip stiffened, his face turning red. "I've dedicated my entire life to this company. Don't I deserve a promotion?""Well, you can forget about it now. Just so you know, I've already blocked that path for you."He blocked my promotion once.Now, I was just returning the favor, ensuring he would never move up the ran

    At the dinner table, I informed my husband's family about the personnel changes at my company."I got promoted, but there's a change to my workplace. The new location is an hour's drive from home. Philip, I need to take back the car you're using."I brought with me two cars as part of my dowry. Since my workplace was close by, I rarely needed them. Hence, my husband and father-in-law, Steven Green and Philip Green, had been using them.Philip was momentarily stunned before shaking his head. "That won't do. How am I supposed to get to work without a car?""Philip, your office is only slightly over a mile from home, and there's a bus that reaches there directly. It's really convenient.""Nonsense! I'm a department head. You expect me to take the bus to work? That'd be humiliating!"I couldn't help but scoff. "Didn't you take the bus to work before I married into the family?"It was easy going from a frugal lifestyle to luxury, but the other way around was a different story. Philip

    I was so furious that I laughed. Not wanting to waste my time arguing with them, I went straight to my room to pack my bags.Philips was shaking with rage. "Steven, are you just going to stand there and do nothing? Look at your wife's attitude, turning her back on her elders like this! Does she have no manners?"Dragging my suitcase to the door, I spat, "Pfft! Before you judge others, take a good look in the mirror first. Who's the one lacking manners here?"Steven saw me leaving and grabbed my luggage in a panic. "Where are you going?"I yanked it back and kicked him in the knee. "None of your business. Get lost!"Initially, I planned to tell them that I was going on a business trip for the next few days.This was my final task in my current position. Once the trip was over, I would be officially promoted to regional director at the headquarters.But now, I don't see a reason to share that news with them.I finally understood—they never cared about me at all. The only thing th

    Henry tried to explain, but Philip wouldn't listen at all.His voice boomed across the entire office. "There's no need to explain! I know exactly what's going on. You're deliberately bullying my daughter-in-law! You're sending her off to the middle of nowhere! What kind of garbage company is this? I'm going to sue you!"Fran was rolling on the floor, flailing about like a child. "Oh, my poor Laura! How could they treat you like this? A fragile young woman forced to commute 25 miles every day! This is a tragedy!"Surrounded by onlookers, Philip and Fran showed no shame whatsoever. Instead, they got even more carried away."I don't care what excuses you have! Cancel the transfer or I'll report you to the labor office!"In the video, Philip and Fran looked like a pair of clowns, throwing a tantrum in the middle of the office without a care for anyone watching.I was so mortified that my face burned red. A wave of shame surged through me.My colleague cautiously observed my reacti

    In the parking lot, I spotted my car parked securely in its space.Grabbing a fire extinguisher, I marched over and smashed it against the window.A guard rushed over to stop me. "Stop! What are you doing smashing Mr. Green's car?"I smiled at him. "Sir, this isn't Mr. Green's car. It's mine."Reaching through the shattered window, I unlocked the door and pulled out the vehicle registration. "Here's my registration and ID. Feel free to verify them."The guard took a good look at the ID and compared it to my face. "Well, I'll be damned. It really is your car.""Yes. Mr. Green has been hogging my car and refusing to return it. I had no choice but to take it back this way."The guard lit up with the thrill of unexpected gossip. "Let me give him a call."I waved my hand dismissively. "No need. I'm taking my car now. Just do me a favor and tell him to have some shame. This time, I'm just reclaiming what's mine. If he keeps pushing it, next time, I'll bring this to the police."With

    I stared at Steven coldly, not believing his so-called apology for even a second."Tonight, we're celebrating Dad's birthday with the whole family. I came to pick you up.""You still have the nerve to show up in front of me?""You're his daughter-in-law. If you don't attend, people will gossip. I'm begging you, alright?"I reluctantly agreed and nodded.I wasn't going to the birthday dinner to celebrate. Instead, I planned to use the dinner to make an announcement.Steven looked thrilled and quickly hopped into the passenger seat.The whole drive there, he couldn't stop looking around, touching everything in the car. His eyes were filled with admiration… and regret.When we arrived at the hotel, we ran into Steven's older sister, Janine Green, and her family."Well, well, a brand-new car, eh? Must be nice buying yourself a luxury ride with Dad's and Steven's money. How does it drive?"I didn't even spare my stingy and sharp-tongued sister-in-law a glance.Seeing my silence,

    Steven's eyes flickered with guilt. "Dad said the stock market is doing well right now, so I invested the money. This way, we can make even more."A wave of exhaustion washed over me. "Dad said this, Mom said that! Steven, are you even an adult? Do you have a single independent thought in your head?"Janine jabbed a finger at my nose. "So what if Steven listens to us? Laura, I'm warning you. Don't try to sow discord in our family!""I'm giving you until tomorrow to sell the stocks and transfer every cent back into my account. If you don't, I'll call the police."Steven kept his head down and said nothing.Philip, on the other hand, smirked and started his shameless stunt. "Your money is Steven's money, and Steven's money belongs to the Green family! Even if the police come, they can't do anything. You want a divorce? Fine! But if you think you're walking away with a dime from this family, you can dream on!"I clenched my fists tightly as I glared at their smug faces, an entire fa

    Philip slammed the table so hard it shook. "You can get divorced, but you're not taking a single cent with you!"I had no interest in arguing with these shameless people. "I've already consulted a lawyer. My dowry is considered pre-marital assets. Whether you agree or not, I will be taking it with me."Pausing, I turned to Janine. "Janine, I need you to move out of my apartment immediately."Janine shrieked, "Why should I? That's a Green family property. It was given to me. I'm not moving!""Because the apartment is under my name. And let's not forget, it was 'temporarily' lent to you. You graduated college, right? You should understand what 'temporarily' means."Before the wedding, Fran had personally come to my house to discuss the marriage. Throughout the conversation with my parents, she repeatedly emphasized how poor they were to afford a proper wedding and a house.But she swore they would treat me as their own daughter and promised I would never be mistreated.My parents

    "It's your fault, to begin with! If you had reminded me, would I have forgotten?"I couldn't help but laugh. "And why exactly should I remind you? Am I your assistant or personal calendar?"Seeing Philip's darkening expression, Steven lowered his voice and tried to calm me down. "Laura, Dad is already upset. Just stop it.""Fine, I won't say anything. But let me remind him of something." I turned to Philip and continued, "Steven and Janine are your children, not me. I have no obligation to celebrate your birthday.""You can't say that, Laura. You're married into the family, which makes us one family. I've always treated you like my own daughter," Fran said sweetly with a smile.Hearing this made my stomach churn.Fran was the definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing—always quiet and seemingly kind, but in reality, she was full of schemes.When I first got married, I fell for her act and listened to her every word. Later, I realized she had just been using me the whole time.Mim
