At My Son's Wedding: Maimed by the Future Daughter-in-law

My little son Lamont Hayden, being playful and mischievous, caused a fire accidentally while playing at home.

I tied the bedsheet around him and lowered him down from the balcony.

As for me, before the fire could engulf everything, I chose to jump from the third floor.

I survived but broke a leg.

Lamont knelt by my hospital bed in tears, swearing that he would never let me get hurt again.

My husband, drunk, called me a cripple.

Lamont smashed a bottle over his head.

"I won't allow anyone to insult my mom, not even you."

Terrified, my husband left the divorce papers behind and ran away in the middle of the night.

At Lamont's 18th birthday, three drunk men harassed and insulted me at the restaurant.

Lamont, in a rage, grabbed a knife and stabbed them on the spot, leaving one dead and two injured.

Finally, he was sentenced to three years in prison for excessive self-defense.

To prevent Lamont from hurting others because of me again, I left the country under the guise of needing medical treatment and handed the company over to him.

Before Lamont's wedding, he especially took a private jet to bring me back to the country, and that evening, we had dinner together.

However, his fiancee Juliet Shaw mistook me for a mistress. On the wedding day, she and her bridesmaids cornered me in a jewelry store.

"You cripple, how dare you seduce my husband?

"Today, I'll make sure you are disgraced at my wedding. I'll have my husband tear you apart personally, you wretch!"

Juliet shaved my head and broke my other leg.

She even stitched my mouth shut with a needle. Then, they stuffed me into a sack and sent me to the wedding.

"Honey, this bitch bullied me and insulted your mother!"

Enraged, Lamont grabbed a chair and smashed it over my head.

As I lay there barely conscious, Juliet opened the sack, revealing my face.

"Honey, it turns out the bitch you beat up is the mistress who seduced you.

"This is my surprise for you. Do you like it?"

To prevent Lamont from hurting others because of me again, I stayed abroad for five full years.

During those five years, I suppressed my longing and avoided seeing Lamont.

But marriage was a lifelong matter, and I didn't want to miss the most important moment of Lamont's life.

So, I agreed to return to the country.

Reuniting after a long time, Lamont was very happy. At dinner, he even took a picture with me and posted it on social media.

The caption read: [Long time no see, the most important person in my life.]

During the conversation, he talked about how he had grown the company over the years and how he had become the richest man in the area.

He also mentioned that he had found me the perfect daughter-in-law, someone I would surely love when we met.

Seeing that Lamont had matured and become successful, I felt gratified.

At the same time, I was filled with anticipation for the daughter-in-law Lamont had praised so highly.

I planned to choose a gift for her carefully.

On the wedding day, I came to the jewelry store early.

I had just bought a necklace worth thirty million dollars when suddenly a commotion broke out outside.

"This is outrageous! It's my wedding day, and that wretch dares to seduce my husband at a time like this? Is she trying to ruin my wedding?"

"Everyone knows how much Mr. Hayden loves you, and that little mistress dares to interfere on such an important day. She's provoking you!"

"Exactly. I think she's eyeing the position of the richest man's wife. We must set an example this time and show those shameless women that the wife of the richest man is not to be trifled with!"

Soon, a crowd gathered outside. Feeling puzzled, I asked the sales associate what was going on.

She replied, "I heard that the richest man, Mr. Hayden, has a mistress, and that mistress is brazenly challenging his fiancee on his wedding day. Now, his fiancee Juliet is leading her bridesmaids to confront the mistress!"

Hearing this, I frowned slightly.

I had seen photos of Juliet, and she indeed looked sweet and innocent.

Lamont had also spent the entire evening yesterday talking endlessly about her virtues.

Unconsciously, I had grown to like her.

So, I immediately called Lamont, "Lamont, today is your wedding day. How could you be out there with a mistress? Is this fair to Juliet?"

Lamont was utterly shocked. "Mistress? What mistress?"

"Don't play dumb with me! Juliet is on her way to deal with that mistress. Let me tell you, we won't allow any homewreckers into this family. And Juliet is a good girl. If you dare to do anything to betray her, I won't let you off."

After hanging up, I saw Juliet and her group of bridesmaids heading toward me.

I was just about to hand her the necklace and try to calm her down.

But Juliet suddenly slapped me hard across the face.

"Cripple! How dare you seduce my husband?

"You thought you could hide here, but I still found you! Today, I'll make sure you understand the wrath of the richest man's wife!"
