My Scheming Sister-in-law Tricked My Whole Family

1

On the day I came home, I heard my sister-in-law, Amanda Wilson, discussing my marriage with my mom.

According to what Amanda said, the person she introduced to me was tall, handsome, rich, and honest.

My mom was overjoyed by what she said and arranged for me to meet him that day.

The moment I saw him, I was dumbfounded.

I was still wondering why Amanda suddenly became so passionate. It turned out to be a lie.

The person I met for the blind date was estimated to be less than 165 cm tall and weigh about 100 kg. What's worse, he was wearing dirty clothes.

I did not despise his dirty clothes. But it was a blind date. Shouldn't he wear clean clothes?

I was shocked. At lunchtime, he treated me to a Taco Bell, and I had to pay for it myself.

My God. This was not even the most speechless part!

The most speechless thing was that, as soon as I sat down, he judged me from head to toe.

"I heard from Amanda that you are 24 years old. Did you go to college? I don't like going to school. The things written in the books were all nonsense. They even teach women to work outside. In my opinion, a good woman should stay at home, give birth to a healthy son for me, and draw my bath."

"To be honest, my mom was not satisfied with you at first. It was only after I persuaded her for a long time that she reluctantly agreed to our marriage. When you marry me, you better be kind and cook something delicious for my mom. Can you cook? My mom doesn't like spicy food, so don't put any peppers. And I don't like food that is too bland, so please pay attention."

Not that I gave two shits about a toad like him.

"Oh, by the way, I now earn more than 3,000 dollars a month. After we get married, you don't need to find a job anymore. I don't like women going out and showing their faces. It's embarrassing. I will give you 300 dollars every month. You can do whatever you want at home. You don't need to do anything. Just keep the house clean, cook, and do the laundry for me and my mom."

"And you shouldn't wear this dress anymore. Does it make sense to show off your breasts? If my mom sees it, she will definitely beat you. Fortunately, she's here."

"Um, how about eating first?"

"Oh, right! I don't like it when you interrupt me while I'm talking. I think it is very impolite. Haven't your parents taught you that?"

…

Come on, don't be so ridiculous.

Where was the Mr. Perfect?

With good manners, I politely spent this terrible blind date with him and expressed my disinterest at the end.

"Um...I feel like we're not very compatible, you know?"

He glanced at me with a look of incomprehension. "I am quite satisfied with you, but you aren't satisfied with me? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me…"

I quickly interrupted his long speech and said, "I just don't like you. You talk too much, and it gives me a headache. I prefer the person who is mute."

"Psycho!" The man rolled his eyes and left.

Ah yes. I was a psycho.

I thought the matter had ended. A few days later, my mom congratulated me on getting married.

I was shocked and confused.

Getting married?

With whom?

I was stunned. "Mom, what are you talking about? I haven't even talked to him! How could I possibly marry him? There's no such thing."

My mom looked surprised. "What? Didn't you say you were satisfied with him? It was Amanda who told me that you were satisfied and asked me to prepare for your wedding."

"Holy shit! I never agreed to marry him, and I don't have any feelings for him. It's not true."

I watched my mom make a phone call to Amanda and explain the situation clearly before I felt relieved.

Oh my God, it was really outrageous.

That night, I received a call from Amanda.

She first apologized to me, saying that she misunderstood what I meant. She then mentioned that she wanted to buy some warm clothes for my brother, David Wilson, tomorrow, so that he could wear them when winter came. She asked me to accompany her.

Since I didn't have anything to do the next day, I agreed. Incidentally, I wanted to tell her about the requirements for my future husband so that she wouldn't find any more unsuitable candidates for me.

At least, she could find someone normal.

Early the next morning, Amanda came with many things. As soon as she entered the door, she took the initiative. "I'm so sorry, Grace. I made a big mistake. I got the wrong man."

"Never mind. It's not a big deal. Everything is okay."

My mom dismissed it for the sake of my brother's happiness. She has always been patient and tolerant, as much as she can.

As a result, ever since Amanda came to our house, our living standard has plummeted. Anything good had to be prioritized for Amanda. And that's not all. She often made excuses to borrow money. My mom and I had to be thrifty.

As for now, she said she came to buy clothes for her husband. Could my mom not understand what she meant?

My mother took money out of her pocket and said, "Here you are. It's getting cold. You buy Grace and you some clothes."

"Nope, I have money." Then she took the money from my mom's hand.

Being observant and sensitive, I immediately noticed the dissatisfaction in Amanda's eyes. She probably thought the money was too little.

After buying clothes, Amanda said she recently discovered a new clothing store with many beautiful clothes and asked if I wanted to go.

Without much thought, I followed her.

The pedestrians became fewer along the way, and we walked into a dilapidated and dim alley. Amanda told me to wait here for a moment while she went to the restroom.

Seeing how urgent she was, I nodded. She repeatedly assured me that she would come back quickly, comforting my uneasiness.

Now it was a society ruled by law.

But something happened.

Several masked strong men who looked like construction workers slowly approached me from the alley. I instinctively stepped back until there was no way to retreat.

And then it dawned on me that I was their target. Damn it!

I pushed away a man in front of me and ran as fast as I could, hoping that Amanda would come back soon.

"Where are you running? I suggest you be quiet."

I clenched my phone, and my mind went blank. Fear engulfed my whole body. When my hair was grabbed, I suddenly recovered and called the police!

I quickly pressed the emergency button, anxiously waiting for the police to arrive, while trying to delay time and wait for Amanda to come.

"Don't… Don't… I…" I hated my stammer. I was afraid that they would kill me if I accused them of their illegality, but also afraid that I couldn't scare them away simply.

One of them couldn't wait and urged, "Stop talking and hurry up."

…

At that moment, I really wished there was someone who could come and save me.

But there wasn't. No matter how I asked for help, there was no policemen, no pedestrians, and no light.

Not long after the man left with chuckles, Amanda, who had gone to the bathroom, came back humming a song. When she saw me, she screamed, "Oh my God! Grace, what happened?"

Before I collapsed in despair, I vaguely saw Amanda's satisfied smile.

When I woke up in the hospital, Amanda and my mother were talking at the door. They were speaking softly, but I still heard them.

"Mom, I don't mean to sound harsh. But this had happen to Grace, her reputation will deteriorate. I have asked that guy and he doesn't mind it. He is nice and has a stable job. Look, Grace is not young anymore."

"Let's talk about it after Grace wakes up. I have to ask for her thoughts."

"She has been an old maid. Are you going to live with her and support her for the rest of your life? Come on, David and I are planning to have a child this year. We need a lot of money, you know?" Amanda's voice became sharp. "He said he doesn't mind Grace, and he even offered 200,000 dollars! If we refuse him, do you think anyone else will give 200,000 dollars?"

"Let me think about it." My mother's voice suddenly became much older and weaker.

Amanda stomped her foot furiously. "To be honest, she has been like this. Who would marry her? What else is there to think about?"

During my hospitalization, scenes of that day would occasionally flash through my mind. the dark and cold alley that drove me to madness and despair.

I couldn't make sense of it.

Why... Why me?

"Hey, have you heard?"

"I heard that the youngest daughter of the Wilson family went out to buy clothes a few days ago. She was with a man in a small alley."

"I heard that she seduced that man. Unbelievable!"

"I always thought she was a foxy woman, dressing provocatively every day. Well, I have to hurry back and keep an eye on my husband so that he won't be stolen by someone else."

"I really don't know how she was educated. You can't tell from her usual behavior. It's really unlucky that she lives next door to me."

…

Sounds uncontrollably drilled into my ears from all directions. It was not like this! It's not like this! I didn't do it! It's not me seducing...

"If I had a daughter like her, I would have killed her. It was humiliating."

"Yeah, her family's reputation has been completely ruined."

"Everyone knows that she deliberately took that route. Clearly, she knew there was no one there. Nowadays, young girls really know how to have fun."

It was not like that! I didn't do it on purpose! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!

Please stop talking!

I covered my ears tightly, but those terrifying sounds still filled my brain.

"Baby, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Mommy is here!" The unique scent of my mother entered my nose, accompanied by her worried voice.

"Mommy!" I threw myself into my mother's arms, crying in pain. "I didn't deliberately choose that alley. I didn't know... I really didn't do it on purpose."

"Mommy knows. My Grace is the best."

"Mommy, did you call the police?"

My mother's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said to me with guilt and concern. "Grace, we can't call the police. It wouldn't be good for you. Amanda said that the man you went on a blind date with before didn't mind. Anyway, you... In the future, others will definitely talk about it."

I couldn't hear what was said afterwards. All I knew was that my life was over. They ruined me, and they could continue to enjoy their freedom.

The evidence was gone.

I curled up in bed alone, with the traces of humiliation still on my body. The scenes of the past vividly came to mind.

"I want to call the police."

The next morning, when no one was here, I called the police with my phone.

What if there was a glimmer of hope?

Why could they destroy me and still go unpunished?

I was unwilling to let go.

When the police were taking my statement, Amanda happened to bring me lunch.

After the police left, she asked me curiously what the police were here for.

I told her the truth, and she panicked for a moment. The soup on the spoon spilled all over the floor. "Oh! I just remembered that there's something to do. I'll leave first. Remember to drink the soup."

I nodded and agreed with a smile.

Until she hurriedly left, I put on my clothes to follow her.

She didn't go far and stopped at a corner of an alley.

"What should we do? She called the police!" Amanda's anxious voice came. "I saw the police when I went to deliver food to her. I don't know what she said. The police didn't let me in. Do you think she has any evidence?"

"I washed her. She was absolutely clean. There were no traces left. You should be faster. We can't stay here for long. After it's done, we'll leave."

"What about the 200,000 dollars? You said she was weak and timid. Why is she different from before? What should we do? We can only start with her mother. Hurry up."

Amanda married my brother a year ago. At that time, my brother David, who had been missing for ten years, had just been found. My parents felt sorry for him and wanted to compensate him with the best.

At this time, he coincidentally met Amanda and fell in love at first sight, or maybe not. All of us had no idea.

In order for David to marry Amanda, my parents gave all their savings.

I didn't expect her to be unsatisfied and try to use me to make money.

For the 200,000 dollars, she schemed against me and ruined my innocence just for...

Wait!

What are they doing with my mom?

What are they going to do?
