My Mother-in-law Stole 3 Million and Forced My Whole Family to Die

Thinking about the tragic fate of our family of three made my heart ache terribly.

Especially when I thought of Luna on the operating table, my heart twisted painfully.

Not waiting to finish dinner, I pulled Luna into the bedroom.

I kept reminding her not to go out recently and that if she had to, she must have me with her.

Then I whispered to her that she had made it into the top fifty in the state and to keep it a secret from everyone.

Her dull eyes instantly brightened, and she nodded obediently in agreement.

The next day, I went to the school and had a private talk with the principal.

I told him Luna was the top scorer, and if there was any prize money, he should keep it quiet and contact me privately. I promised to promote the school in front of the media.

The principal beamed with happiness and directly transferred the 500,000 dollars prize to me, ensuring that the information would remain confidential.

When I got home, I announced that the school had rewarded us with 50 thousand dollars.

Both Daniel and Martha were surprised.

Daniel was so emotional he was in tears. "Money isn't what matters. The main thing is that Luna has studied so hard for so many years, and she finally made it! We need to reward her well!"

I transferred the money to a card and glanced at Martha, whose eyes were darting around. I said, "I've decided how to use this 50 thousand dollars. We'll take 25 thousand dollars for Luna's college expenses, and the rest will be saved for her future house down payment."

Daniel nodded repeatedly and fully agreed.

But Martha slammed her hands on the table and stood up. "I don't agree!"

"Mom, I think Rachel's plan is great. We don't have any savings, and Luna is going to school soon. Saving this money for her is a good idea."

"What does a girl need that much money for? She'll get married in the future and have a man to support her. Arthur is about to graduate from college and needs money right now—this money should go towards buying him a car!"

Arthur Hall was my nephew and Martha's favorite.

"This is money Luna earned with her own efforts. Why should it go to buy a car for Arthur?"

I directly retorted.

"You, as a daughter-in-law, have no say in this! Without me, you wouldn't have your husband! I raised him, and it's only natural for me to spend money on my family. Who are you to interfere?"

In my previous life, Martha used the guise of filial piety to manipulate Daniel.

He was always soft-hearted and compromised every time.

He would often beg me to forgive her, saying Martha was getting old and we should tolerate her a bit more.

But this time, I would not back down!

"This is my daughter's money, and no one is touching a single cent of it to give to Helen's family! Not a chance!"

"You think I don't know how much you've taken from us? When Daniel was sick, you wouldn't buy him medicine, but you bought Helen a whole new wardrobe! You've spent so little on Daniel, and you have the nerve to talk about it!"

"Don't bring filial piety into this. Even if we went to court, we would be in the right. We owe you nothing!"

Seeing me lose my temper, Martha realized she was being unreasonable and couldn't say a word.

She collapsed on the floor, pounding her chest and claiming we were trying to kill her.

In my previous life, she had acted just like this, throwing tantrums in front of us to manipulate our emotions and get all the money.

She had counted on us to feel sorry for her.

Daniel, in a panic, rushed to support Martha and turned to scold me.

I knew his scolding was just a pretense to calm her down, so I wasn't angry. I firmly stated.

"The card is with me, and the password is with me. I'm keeping this money for Luna, and no one is touching a single penny!"

After saying that, I grabbed Luna and slammed the door.

Only the scolding of Martha kept ringing behind us.
