It was only when Nana was sentenced that Tim finally broke.

He sat outside the courtroom for a long time, the legal document with a very big number on it in his hands.

He looked at it repeatedly.

Now, he had lost his wife and his savings. Even the house he cared so much about was sold off to cover his debts.

  • A Fair Mother   Chapter 10

    It was only when Nana was sentenced that Tim finally broke.He sat outside the courtroom for a long time, the legal document with a very big number on it in his hands.He looked at it repeatedly.Now, he had lost his wife and his savings. Even the house he cared so much about was sold off to cover his debts.He took to the internet, publicly apologizing that he was guilty of credit card fraud, malicious slander, and scandal fabrication.The ones who used to flame my family were no longer on his side, while the rest of the internet and his former colleagues said he reaped what he sowed.As even distant relatives refused to stay in touch, he now had a taste of what we went through in our past lives.But unlike us, he was alive. He could admit his mistakes and start fresh.As long as he was willing to bear the consequences, I wouldn't stop him from living his life.A year later, he found a modest job and rented a tiny apartment outside the city, and had to commute to work on the

    When he was told about it, Joe asked me in disbelief, "Why would Tim still give her money?"I shrugged. "He believes she'll suddenly be kind again once she gets the money. He has no idea she never changed, and refuses to admit that even if he's seen her true colors by now."To no surprise, Nana went missing in just two weeks, taking away Tim's car, debit cards and whatever savings he had left.Even her rental was cancelled ahead of time.When Tim finally went to the cops with her IOU, they told him she was spotted taking a train to another city, and that she applied for more loans with his identity.Hence, in just two weeks, Tim suddenly owed over $800,000.He finally caved. Instead of posting another complaint, he called me.His voice was hoarse from crying as he said, "Mom… I made a mistake. I understand that now. I shouldn't have listened to Nana, or taken your money, or slandered Joe… Can you please clear my debts?"I didn't respond, which left him sobbing. "Mom… Are yo

    The next day, Tim posted the chat logs of me rejecting his demands and elaborated how I humiliated him at his wedding, forcing him to sign that adoption annulment.This time, however, sentiment wasn't one-sided. Netizens weren't quick to flame me, as guests at the wedding had posted videos showing the entire course of events.In fact, with the clear proof of adoption, ledgers and Nana's $600,000 wire transfer, sentiment had changed drastically.[Unfair? More like the Listons adopted an ingrate!][Tim Liston knew that his brother was the real deal, but still manufactured lies to hurt him!][And that broad is obviously after his money!][Is he still saying he's in the right? After his parents showed all the receipts? Outrageous!]It took some time for Tim to notice, but it was already too late when he started to delete his posts. Even his company noticed and watched the full video.In fact, while Joe got his job back after being previously suspended due to online backlash, Tim wa

    Nana frowned. "What debts?"I projected a ledger on all her expenses.A gold chain worth $28,000.A limited edition Birkin bag worth $19,000.Designer brand cosmetics worth $16,000.Presidential suites, the cocktail party and the banquet hall rental, all totaling up to $90,000.A wire transfer amounting up to $600,000.All of it, going to Nana.Even as the guests clamored, Nana's face dropped.Still, she said, "Tim gave me the money willingly…""I never argued against that," I replied. "I just wanted to ask. If you can give him happiness as you said, why are his parents paying for everything?"Nana could only gulp as she was unable to muster a response.Still, Tim wheeled on me and growled, "Do you have to embarrass me at my wedding?""That will be your wife," I replied, shaking my head. "Not me."Nana dragged him off right then. "Don't listen to them. It's our big day. Let's just go." Tim actually stumbled from her touch.I watched them go, calling out after them, "Yo

    Tim opened his mouth, ready to argue, but no words were coming out.Still, Nana hissed, "Those ledgers prove nothing. All parents are obligated to pay their children's bills…""True," I replied, turning to her. "That was why I never asked him to pay me back, but he tries to paint me as a villain anyway."Tim turned at me sharply right then, with only rage in his eyes and no hint of guilt. "I only told the truth! If you were willing to sponsor my wedding and give me that house, none of that would have happened!" As I looked into his eyes, whatever little hope I had left faded. "So you still think you didn't do anything wrong?""I'm never wrong!" he hollered.I shrugged as I turned to the crowd, presenting his medical reports. "You claimed I'm not being fair when I stopped you from eating seafood, but you neglected to mention that you're allergic."When I bought clothes for you and Joe, your size was different and they didn't have it. That's unfair too, even though I bought a mor

    Nana's expression stiffened. "What money?""The bridal gown," I replied. "The wedding presents, the rental for the banquet hall, the wedding photoshoot, your gold bracelet, your handbags… Tim bought those, didn't he? And he was using my debit card."Taking out my phone, I showed them the long lists of expenditures they made. "That's $276,480 since you started dating Nana."Even as Nana glowered, Tim stepped in front of her. "What do you want?""Just reminding you that you're an adult, and that you should face the consequences of your own choices.""So you came to ask for money?""No," I said simply, "I'm just asking you to clear your debts."Tim's jaw clenched in fury. "You're actually keeping the receipts from your own son?!" "You claimed I only ever spent money on Joe," I replied. "I need proof to clear things up, don't you think?"I then turned towards the screen at the center of the banquet hall, having contacted the banquet team beforehand.Soon, three documents were sh
