Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 88

"Lawrence, I love you, so I've tolerated you in many ways, but today your sisters have gone too far. They say that when marrying someone, you not only look at the man's character but also his family. If they don't respect me, I really don't think this marriage is suitable."

I made my stance clear at that moment.

Lawrence only then realized his sisters' behavior. He was terrified and quickly apologized to me, almost swearing, "Melinda, I'm sorry, I didn't know my sisters would do such things. I'll clarify things with them right away. Please don't leave me. I love you too much, I can't live without you."

His eyes were red with anxiety.

Afraid that I would change my mind.

At that time, I also loved Lawrence deeply. Knowing that he was unaware of the situation, I thought that with such bizarre relatives, he must have been under a lot of pressure over the years.

After all, I could avoid them, but he had to bear their affection and couldn't completely ignore them.

And these relatives without moral quality were the most troublesome.

Suddenly, I felt sorry for Lawrence instead and comforted him, saying, "It's not that I don't want you, but with such sisters dragging you down, your life will definitely be difficult in the future. Don't worry, I'll be the bad guy for you in this matter."

Then I found an opportunity to say that if they still wanted me to continue with the marriage, they could, but in the future, without my request, they were not allowed to come and disturb our peaceful life.

Of course, they could rest assured that if there were any benefits in the future, I would remember their contributions for Lawrence.

Probably because Missy saw my firm attitude and was afraid that I would really call off the engagement, she somehow talked to Lawrence's sisters, and since then, they never came over again.

Paula also noticed their greed. Before Lawrence and I got married, she drafted a property agreement and a prenuptial agreement for me.

Now, the apartment we live in was purchased in my name.

Because the house was bought with my premarital assets, as for the loan, if Lawrence and I repaid it together, his part, the future appreciation, would be divided accordingly.

When Missy heard that the house had nothing to do with Lawrence, she immediately objected.

It was Lawrence who persuaded her.

At that time, I thought Lawrence was sensible, after all, he couldn't choose his original family. Now that I think about it, I was too slow to realize that Lawrence was so good at enduring.

He probably had already decided to take everything from me back then.

I had seen how difficult the Phillips family relatives could be, especially now that they came with so much luggage, probably intending to stay for a long time. Now, with just me alone, I was definitely no match for them.

So I immediately prepared to turn and leave.

"Melinda, don't go, you bitch. How dare you put Lawrence and my mom in jail? You bitch, you must give us an explanation today."

Unexpectedly, Lawrence's sister noticed me.

I didn't even have time to escape before I was surrounded by several people.

"Move aside, they went to jail because of their own actions. What does that have to do with me?" I spoke coldly, not letting myself show any fear.

"Bitch, you still dare to argue. Do you think we're uneducated? If it weren't for your live broadcast, how could Lawrence have been arrested? From the first time I met you, I knew you weren't a decent person, and I was right.

You're an unfortunate person. Today, you must give us an explanation. The house, yes, use this house to compensate us, and you must give us a million dollars, no, two million dollars, or you won't leave here."

This was a blatant threat.

I felt disgusted but knew I couldn't provoke them for now. I tried to buy time to find an opportunity to leave, "You want money, right? I can give it to you, but I just took the wrong phone, so I can't transfer the money now. Let me change my phone first."

Lawrence's sisters hesitated, seemingly considering my words.

Taking advantage of their hesitation, I tried to slip away.

Unexpectedly, Lawrence's fourth sister, Lina Phillips, was a sharp person. She realized my intention and directly grabbed me, slapping me hard, "You vile woman, I knew you were restless. How dare you deceive us? You want to leave? No way!"

Lina, with her strength from farm work, slapped me so hard that I fell to the ground.

But I knew I couldn't give up like this.

I quickly got up and bravely faced them.

They were aggressive, about to rush over and hit me.

I grabbed the hair of Lawrence's second sister, Cindy Phillips, who was at the front, and slammed her head against the wall.

"Ah!" Cindy screamed in pain, "Husband, save me, catch that bitch Melinda and beat her hard."

Cindy, despite her pain, didn't forget to ask her husband to hit me.

Seeing Lawrence's third sister, Jaylah Phillips, rushing over, I kicked her away.

But they had the advantage in numbers. Soon, Cindy was rescued, and I couldn't protect myself, being surrounded and beaten to the ground.

Fists rained down on me like a storm, leaving me unable to fight back.

I could only cover my head, protecting my vital parts from being injured.

"Melinda, you bitch, Lawrence liking you is your luck. You unfortunate person who caused your parents' death, how dare you despise Lawrence for cheating.

So what if he cheated? That means he's attractive. If a man plays outside, it's because you didn't serve him well. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you dared to start a live broadcast to scheme against Lawrence.

"Yes, bitch, you even slept with other men, and you still dare to despise Lawrence. Bitch, instead of reflecting on yourself, you dared to put Lawrence in jail."

"Let's beat you to death today, so you know what rules are. Lawrence is the only man in our family, the one to inherit the family business. We'll beat you to death if you don't give us money and withdraw the case to get Lawrence and mom out of jail today!"

They kept talking while punching me. At this point, I could only cover my head, unable to do anything else.

My phone had fallen into a corner during the beating.

I felt like I was really unlucky recently, either getting beaten or on the way to getting beaten.

"Stop, arrest these troublemakers immediately."

Seeing Lawrence's eldest sister, Jillie Phillips, trying to pull my hands away to punch my face, I covered my face and lowered my head, letting the punches fall.

Fortunately, at that moment, Christopher arrived with security. His voice was like a heavenly sound.

And his rushing figure seemed to be glowing with hope.

Christopher punched Jillie, who was hitting me, and quickly helped me up, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

I shook my head. Although I was in pain, it was probably just superficial injuries. Luckily, I protected my head and successfully waited for Christopher.
