Uncover the Conspiracy of the Evil Mother-in-law

I was married to a wonderful man. I decided to marry him because he treated her family well.

However, I had a problem with my mother-in-law. She was always biased toward her children. She gave the entire relocation compensation to her eldest son. The fact that her younger son did not argue really pleased her immensely.

She praised him by saying, "You're a good kid. When I'm old, I'll be living with you."

Unfortunately, I was the younger son's wife. So, you could very well imagine how she treated me.

At that time, I thought she was just saying that out of politeness. I didn’t expect her to actually move in.

From the moment she arrived, strange things started happening in our home. Then one night, I caught her sneaking around, holding a piece of fabric that looked suspiciously familiar.

“Mom, why are you holding my underwear?”

——

Ever since my mother-in-law moved in with us, my underwear had mysteriously vanished. The amount was just astonishing, eighteen pairs in just one week.

This matter made me recall the day she arrived here.

My mother-in-law had boasted, "It's so easy making money. I can easily earn one hundred and fifty dollars a day. So, I won't become a burden by staying here." As she said that, she patted her chest with a face full of pride, surrounded by her bags and boxes.

The confident smirk on her face made my own smile freeze.

There she was, a short woman with sharp eyes and a shrewd face, standing in front of me, my mother-in-law, Gloria Keller. She always dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt. Her presence was enough to make me uneasy and after years of marriage to Hugh Warren, I knew her personality perfectly well.

That woman was calculating and petty. She had a habit of stealing things from others and the most favorite persons were her two sons.

When I married Hugh, she was so worried her oldest son would suffer, just because I came from a well-off family. So, she gave all of the relocation money, hundreds and millions of dollars of it, behind me and Hugh's back to her oldest son.

Actually, I did not care, after all, it was her money. However, when she saw me did not say anything or fight for the shares, she became even more brazen. She flashed a wide triumphant grin in front of Hugh and me and said, "You two are kind children. When I grow old, I'll come and live with you."

The moment she said it, Hugh did not react at all, but the smile on my face was almost gone.

At that time, when I snapped back to reality, as I was watching her standing there, I grabbed Hugh's arm and gave it a hard twist. 

He had given me a pleading look and because of that I finally relented and let my mother-in-law to step through the door.

That woman tossed a dirty woven bag onto my freshly cleaned floor then her eyes darting around the room, taking in every detail. Her hands folded behind her back as she inspected around the house. “Tsk, tsk, tsk… This is nothing like your brother’s place. You, rich people, really know how to live.”

She began to ruffle around the house, search every nook and cranny, dig every drawer and peek into every corner as if looking for hidden treasure.

I stepped on Hugh's feed and dug my heel onto it a couple of times while fuming silently in anger. Although my face remained calm, my heart was inexplicably seething with discomfort.

Although I did not care about her family properties, Gloria was really something ....

Before I could finish that disturbing thought, she turned to me, with a big smile on her face. “Yvonne, I know you are an easygoing person. I know you won't mind, that I’m staying here, right?"

Because both of them stared intently at me with expectant eyes, I forced a stiff smile and nodded, then lowered my head in annoyance.

As I looked down, I missed the glance that passed between Hugh and his mother.

From that moment, my nightmare began to unfold.
