Evil Husband's Family
Chapter 2
The White family was completely stunned.
Sandy was the first to lose her temper, pointing at my nose and yelling, "Are you crazy? Why did you call the police?"
I took out a mirror from my bag and fixed my makeup, replying disdainfully, "Isn't your point that I stole your gold bracelet? So I called the police to have them arrest me."
"After all, it's a bracelet worth hundreds of dollars. Although it's just my one month's salary, it's very valuable to you, so of course, it should be taken seriously."
Jimmy came to his senses and grabbed my wrist, pleading, "Ronnie, what are you doing? Aren't we almost family? Calling the police hurts our relationship."
"Besides, I believe in you. How could you possibly steal anything?"
I closed the mirror and angrily shook off his hand, "You believe in me? Stop pretending, it's disgusting!"
"Your parents are clearly treating me like a thief. It's my first time at your house, and you're already making things difficult for me. And you still shamelessly want to be a family with me?"
"Keep dreaming!"
Jimmy had never seen me so angry before and was at a loss for words.
I calmly sat by the door, waiting for the police to arrive.
In contrast, the White family was already restless.
I was right; it was indeed a setup by Jimmy and his parents.
In my previous life, after the wedding, Sandy shamelessly asked for my gold jewelry, claiming she would keep it safe for me.
When I hesitated, she brought up this incident, crying and lamenting.
Jimmy, as usual, sided with his mother, trying to smooth things over.
Helpless, I had to give it to her.
A few days later, I saw Sandy happily playing poker game.
My gold bracelet was prominently displayed on her wrist.
The police arrived quickly. As the doorbell rang, I rushed to open it.
"Officer, look, the one who lost the bracelet is this old lady!"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sandy trying to slip into the bedroom. I quickly stepped forward and grabbed her clothes.
Sandy was caught in an awkward position, neither advancing nor retreating, and had to stammer through the police's questions.
As for Peter and Jimmy, they didn't even dare to breathe.
"So you're saying that this lady's bracelet went missing after she arrived?"
The officer turned a puzzled look at me.
Clearly, they could tell that Sandy was hiding something, but they didn't immediately expose her.
I pretended to be surprised, covering my mouth as I started to act.
"How could that be? It's my first time meeting the parents today; how could I steal anything from you?"
Before the White family could respond, I picked up my bag and said with a wronged tone, "Other than the gifts I bought for the elders, I only brought this bag."
"If there's any doubt, officers, feel free to search it!"
A female officer took my bag and carefully searched it. After finding nothing, she shook her head at the other officer.
A bead of sweat dripped down Sandy's forehead. She nervously wiped it away and mumbled, "Oh, maybe I remembered wrong..."
I waved my hand, "Auntie, how could you remember wrong? You were so certain that I stole it just now."
"Uncle also said it's something worth tens of thousands. If you lose it just like that, what would you do?"
The police didn't want to go in circles anymore and asked directly, "Tell the truth, what really happened?"
Sandy kept her head down, trembling all over.
The officer then turned to the two silent men sitting on the side, "What about you two? What really happened?"
Peter swallowed hard and avoided the officer's eyes, "She...she didn't have any gold bracelet at all."
"We just made up a story to scare my son's girlfriend. We didn't expect her to take it seriously."
The officer became serious, "This is not a matter to joke about. Tens of thousands of dollars could lead to a criminal case. You are framing and incriminating her!"
The White family was scared stiff and started begging for mercy.
I couldn't stand to watch any longer. I stood up, thanked the police, and then went to pick up the gift box I had bought for the White family.
"Jimmy, from today, we are done. We have no relationship anymore. Your family disgusts me. Don't ever contact me again."
With that, I left his house without looking back.
Stepping out of the elevator, I got into my car and let out a long sigh of relief.
Jimmy and I were college classmates. He pursued me first, and I couldn't resist his sweet advances, so I agreed to be with him.
During our years of dating, he was always obedient and played the role of a perfect boyfriend.
But little did I know, it was all just an act.
I come from a well-off family; my parents run a successful business and had already prepared an apartment for me.
Jimmy's family is ordinary, but he was considerate and tall and handsome, so my parents approved.
We didn't have a wedding house, and my apartment wasn't ready yet, so we had to live with his parents.
In the second year of our marriage, I got pregnant, and that's when Jimmy revealed his true colors.
