At My Son’s Wedding, My Daughter-in-law Abused Me
Chapter 4
The bridesmaids were all excited by Gloria's words, rubbing their hands together and eager to start.
I frowned, warning them, "It's broad daylight. You can't act recklessly. Aren't you afraid of legal punishment?"
Gloria raised her chin. "What a joke! The law will never protect a shameless mistress like you. Besides, my mother-in-law hates mistresses the most. If I teach you a lesson, she will only applaud me. With her backing me up, do I need to care about the law?
"Strip her naked!"
At her command, the bridesmaids no longer held back and rushed up to me.
I desperately covered my clothes, dodging and resisting.
However, due to my weak body and their numerical advantage, I was unable to resist them.
Soon, my outer jacket was torn off by them.
A delicate silk gift box fell out of the pocket.
The bridesmaids stopped and looked at the gift box.
I took advantage of their distraction and tried to pick it up, but Gloria was one step ahead of me.
She picked it up and smirked at me. "You look so eager. It seems that what's inside is quite valuable, isn't it?"
I was anxious and hurriedly said, "It's not something valuable, but it's very important to me. You are not allowed to touch it!"
I tried to snatch it from her hand.
But Gloria was quicker and opened the box, revealing an old ring inside.
"Hmph, I thought it was something else, but it's just an old ring!" Gloria picked up the ring and fiddled with it.
"Give it back to me!" I demanded.
I tried to snatch it again.
This ring was given to me by my mother-in-law on my wedding day.
It was said to be a heirloom of the Allen family, passed down for hundreds of years.
I was told to keep it safe and pass it down from generation to generation.
Twenty years ago, a group of thieves broke into our home and robbed us of all our valuables.
When they tried to take this ring, my husband protected it with all his might, saying that everything else could be taken, but not this ring.
It was because of his strong resistance that the thieves killed him on the spot.
Even when he was dying, he still tightly gripped this ring.
It was an heirloom, and more importantly, it was something my husband had protected with his life.
Today, I returned to my private residence to retrieve this ring, intending to give it to Gloria, so that she could continue to pass it down.
But now, she was not worthy of this inheritance, and I would never allow such a person to enter the Allen family.
I must get the ring back.
"You want it back? But I will destroy it!" Gloria snorted.
Before I could get close, she threw the ring forcefully to the ground.
With a crisp sound, the ring shattered into pieces.
Fragments scattered all over the floor.
"No!" I cried out.
The heirloom my husband had died protecting shattered.
My heart ached, and I found it hard to breathe.
"You are a beast!" I shouted, raising my hand to slap her.
"How dare you hit me?"
Gloria covered her face and screamed, "Teach this cheap woman a lesson!"
At her words, the group of bridesmaids immediately attacked me.
Their fists and feet landed on my body.
Beverly and her relatives joined in, kicking me several times.
Gloria glared at me as I was being beaten and complained to the live-streaming audience, "Guys, this mistress even dares to hit me, the legitimate wife. Is there any justice in this?"
The comments flew across the screen. [This is outrageous! If only I were there, I would have beaten her up!]
[I think this kind of person is just too arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson.]
[She is disgusting! How can there be such a cheap mistress in this world?]
[Beat her hard!]
The comments were filled with all kinds of insults.
The bridesmaids' beating became more and more intense.
Even the waiter seemed to be infected and secretly kicked me.
My already weak body was soon beaten to the ground.
The surgical incision that had just healed was torn open, and blood oozed out.
Intense pain swept over me, and I couldn't even speak.
Seeing that I had no more strength to resist, the bridesmaids stopped.
But Gloria was still not satisfied.
She took out a knife from her bag and slowly walked towards me.
"You cheap woman, seducing my man and even daring to hit me.
"Today, I will scar your face and see how you seduce men again!" she said.
Then she pressed my face and used the knife to slice it.
Each slice was like a burning flame on my face, causing my body to tremble with pain.
Blood dripped from my face onto the ground.
It was a shocking sight.
Gloria went on to slice the other side of my face.
In just a few minutes, I felt like I had aged a year and suffered unbearable torment.
"Done!" Gloria smiled in satisfaction.
She took out her makeup mirror and showed it to me.
The word 'mistress' was carved on both sides of my cheeks.
"This is the fate of those who steal my man.
"From now on, you should live at the bottom of society with your tail between your legs!" she said with a triumphant smile.
The guests at the scene all laughed, looking at me as if I were a clown.
The audience in the live-streaming room also cheered.
I was in a state of near death. My eyes were unfocused. My mouth was slightly open, but I couldn't utter a sound.
Just as my eyelids were about to close in exhaustion, someone suddenly reported at the door, "The Allen family's car fleet has arrived!"
Gloria quickly fixed her makeup and shouted to the guests, "My fiancé has finally arrived. Everyone, hurry up and welcome him!"
Beverly, along with her relatives and friends, lined up to welcome Robert.
Beverly trembled with excitement. "This is great! We will soon be able to meet our in-law."
Amidst the deep anticipation of the crowd, Robert and the Allen family members regally walked into the banquet hall.
