Revenge on My Husband's Family: Becoming the Queen of Vengeance

Upon hearing my words, Jimmy got angry. "Gwyneth, my mom definitely used her own money to buy Kristen that car. She didn't ask you for a dime, what are you implying?"

Seeing my dearest husband playing dumb with me, I got angry, too.

"I've supported your mom for five years! Given her hundreds of thousands, I thought her frugal lifestyle was for our future children, turns out it's all for her daughter."

Kristen and Hugh stayed silent on the sidelines as Amanda raised her voice.

"You gave me the money, so it's mine to spend as I please. I'm happy to buy my daughter a car. If you have the guts, get your mom to buy you one too!"

Amanda knew about my parents' divorce years ago and how I hadn't spoken to my mom in years. Her words were meant to embarrass me.

I thought to myself, "I've realized it now. I've poured my heart and soul into this family for five years, taking care of Amanda, only to end up making it convenient for someone else.

I always thought that if I treated Amanda like my real mom, she would treat me like her real daughter, filling the void of not having my own mother.

But in these five years, no matter how much money I gave her, she never contributed a dime to this family.

And now, when Kristen is getting married, she empties her pockets. I was foolish to think her son's wife could ever compare to her own daughter. It's a pity I'm only realizing this now!"

Seeing us at an impasse, Kristen finally stepped out from behind Hugh.

"Gwyneth, what's the point of all this now? Mom's leg is in trouble, the surgery costs 80 thousand, let's go pay it quickly."

Jimmy chimed in, "Yeah, if something happens to my mom's leg, you won't be able to bear it."

Their audacity in treating me like a fool made me want to laugh.

"I didn't hit anyone, so why should I be responsible? Whoever caused the accident should take responsibility!"

I stared directly at Kristen, who started shedding tears.

"Gwyneth, I didn't mean it. Please help our mom."

Seeing Kristen cry, Jimmy shot me a fierce look, and Amanda pushed me to go pay the fees.

After a moment of contemplation, I said, "You didn't mean it, then it must be the car doing it intentionally, right?"

The room fell silent; Kristen stopped crying, just staring at me in disbelief.

Jimmy was incredulous.

Hugh was the first to react.

"Gwyneth, technically, I'm not involved in your family matters since Kristen and I aren't married yet. But today, I've seen enough. Gwyneth, you've handled this poorly. If Kristen's family is like this, I need to reconsider our marriage."

Hugh's words hit like thunder, causing chaos in the room.

Jimmy was furious. "Gwyneth, don't push it. If my sister's marriage is in trouble, I won't spare you!"

Amanda, frantic, said incoherently, "Gwyneth, stop this. What benefit do you have from making things like this?"

I chuckled, thinking, "Hugh is already trying to high road me before marriage. Is he going to blame me if he can't marry Kristen now?"

Looking at Hugh, I said slowly, "What are you talking about? You've already been deemed Kristen's husband, and now that mom's leg is hurt, I won't argue with you. It's a chance for you to show your devotion. You wouldn't be so heartless to your future wife's mother over this small amount of money, would you?"

My flattery left Hugh green-faced, and Kristen pointed at me, cursing, "Gwyneth, I never thought you'd be this shameless. Even if Hugh marries me, he's just my husband. He can't be expected to pay. My mom has served you well for five years, and this is how you repay her? You don't pay for my mom, I'll make my brother kick you out!"

Her words made my eyes light up.

"Hugh is your husband, and I'm just your brother's wife. I'm an outsider when it comes to the Helberg family matters. If you're envious of how your mom serves me, just bring her to your place and let her take care of you for the rest of her life. I wouldn't mind at all!"
