His First Love Came Back, I Disappeared

"Scarlett, what do you mean? Why would a lawyer come knocking on my door? Did you sue me? Do you believe I will call the police? I am your mother!"

Hearing the noisy voice on the other end of the phone, I held the phone further away.

"Mom, you know you're my mom? There are three rooms at home, but no one is for me.

"I bought the house with my money. If it weren't for me, you and Ethan would have still been in the countryside. Why do you treat me like this?"

This was the first time I had ever contradicted Mary, and it instantly made her furious.

"Scarlett, have you gone crazy because you were fired? Do you think Ethan and I can't live without you?"

She was furious and gasped heavily on the other end of the phone.

"Olivia is much better than you. You worked for so long but didn't even dare to tell us what you did.

"Olivia has found a good job and will start working soon. By then, I won't care about your house!"

I sneered and said with no emotion in my voice, "Okay, then give me the two houses, so I don't have to sue you."

Mary's voice trembled with anger. "Okay, you've indeed learned a lot in the city. Now I can't control you anymore, and I'm not worthy of being your mother. Don't come back again!"

She hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking, and I felt bitter in my heart.

I had heard this sentence many times, and it always worked when used to threaten me.

But now, I was no longer afraid of being kicked out by anyone.

I thought I would have no contact with them before the court hearing, but I didn't expect to see my tenant Olivia again at the ceremony of the branch.

She was my future sister-in-law.

I was standing there in a daze with the wine in my hand. Sherry walked past me and waved her hand in front of my eyes.

She was surprised. "Why are you here?"

I smiled and said nothing.

Olivia saw me. I didn't know what Ethan and Mary said to her, and her eyes were full of resentment.

She walked quickly to us in high heels and pulled Sherry to her side.

They were classmates in college.

"Stay away from her. Do you remember the sister-in-law I mentioned who hasn't shown up for a year and whose work is mysterious? That's her."

Olivia glared at me, her tone full of disgust.

"Mrs. Wilson said that she never dared to tell her family about her job, but she bought a house for her family not long after she started working. She didn't even go to high school, but she bought two houses and a car within several years. I don't believe she has a decent job."

As soon as Olivia finished speaking, I heard a voice outside the door.

"Mr. Watson, why do you come to the branch company's ceremony in person? It's our great honor."
