Chapter 10

Author: Bucket
“I don’t recognize you. All I see are two people trying to break into my apartment.”

I had both witnesses and material evidence complete.

My mom, Hugh, and that unlucky locksmith were all brought to the police station.

As they were suspected of illegally trespassing private property, they were detained for eight whole hours at the station. They were eventually released after receiving a reprimand and a fine, as their attempt did not result in severe consequences.

    I switched my phone off and exhaled out loud.They had lost all ability to fight back and cause further trouble. Peace had officially come to my life.I walked along a boulevard in Northland with the written judgment in hand.Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket.I received an email.“Ms. Sandra Chester, due to your outstanding results and professionalism, the Academician’s Research Group in the Department of Aerospace Engineering has decided to make an exception and recruit you into our research and development team…”Sunlight filtered through the leaves on the trees and shone on my phone screen.My life had only just begun.-Time flew by.Without pressure from my biological family, I was like a sponge, absorbing all the knowledge and information I could learn in Northland.In all four years of my university education, I stayed as the top scorer of my faculty and was granted the national scholarship award for three consecutive years.I worked endless days and nights in

    “Let’s go, Ms. Lewis. I’ll take you to the hospital to check on your injury.”Armed with an injury assessment report and all the evidence Ms. Lewis handed me, I brought her to a famous pro bono law firm in Northland. The lawyer looked through all the documents and slammed his palm on the table.“There is more than sufficient evidence for this case.“Not only can we sue her for the 80,000 dollars you earned from tuition and the 30,000 dollars scholarship award she seized from you, but we can also make her compensate Ms. Lewis for her hospital fees and reputational damage.”That afternoon, we officially filed a complaint with the court.Everything went very quickly after that.Three days later, a court summons was delivered to my mom’s home.The comments box shared with me real-time updates of what happened.[It was hilarious! You should have seen how your mom’s face turned green when she received the court summons!][She tore the summons into pieces right in front of the mai

All I see are two people trying to break into my apartment.”I had both witnesses and material evidence complete.My mom, Hugh, and that unlucky locksmith were all brought to the police station.As they were suspected of illegally trespassing private property, they were detained for eight whole hours at the station. They were eventually released after receiving a reprimand and a fine, as their attempt did not result in severe consequences.I thought they would finally stop after this.However, I had underestimated their bottom line.Two days later, Ms. Lewis, my high school homeroom teacher, texted me out of the blue. She had sent me a video clip.In it, my mom was seated at the Student Affairs Office in my high school, throwing yet another fit.“She’s the one! Ms. Lewis accepted my daughter’s bribe and helped her change her college application! If it weren’t for her, my daughter would have returned home with me long ago!“If she doesn’t go to Northland

    “She did not contribute a single cent to my university tuition fees.“This is a screenshot of her chat with my homeroom teacher that shows how she tried to bribe her and force me to apply for an education college, which offers free tuition fees.”I put all of my evidence on display, my tone filled with confidence.“She came causing trouble today not because I stole money, but because I finally left her clutches and she is no longer able to suck me dry of my money while giving it all to my brother!”Dead silence ensued.Moments later, there was a huge shift in opinion. All the reporters suddenly aimed their cameras and microphones at my mom.“Madam, why did you take your daughter’s hard-earned money and give it to your son to buy a house for him?”“Don’t you think it’s almost illegal to force your daughter in such an extreme way?”“Is what you’re doing today considered malicious slander?”My mom stood rooted to the ground, her face flushed with embarrassment. She opened her mou

    I opened the door and sat before my computer without even switching the lights on.Over the years, I’ve learned how to keep something back in reserve. I accessed my encrypted cloud storage. It contained all the evidence I had gathered over three years.That included scanned copies of my mom’s conduct record book, filled with her scribbles, the 80,000 dollars I earned from teaching tuition which I was eventually forced to transfer to her account, and a recording of her forcing me to give up my direct admission to a competition and transfer it to Hugh instead.I organized all the files and put them in a folder.Finally, I looked at the comments box.“Thank you, all of you. Tomorrow, she’ll get the evidence she asked for.”The next morning, I woke up with the sunlight in my eyes.I walked to the school gate at Northland with my bag and immediately spotted my mom, sitting on the floor and throwing a tantrum.There was a glaring red banner right behind her that read: [Northland

    I sneered.Pulling out my apron, I emptied my bag on the countertop. All the clothes and toiletries came spilling out.“Ms. Walsh, I didn’t take the money.”I looked coldly at Hugh. “Since my brother claimed to see me take the money with his own eyes, I’ll empty my bag to prove my innocence.”The look on Hugh’s face changed when he saw that there was no money in my bag.I quickly added, “Since the money isn’t with me, shouldn’t we search my brother instead?”I pointed at the surveillance camera above our heads.“We should also retrieve the footage and see who’s the thief.”Hugh’s voice turned pale the moment he heard the words “surveillance camera.” He turned around and fled.“Stop him!” Ms. Walsh reacted quickly and yelled out loud.The security guard in the shop rushed over and seized Hugh, effectively subduing him and pressing him against the door frame.“Let me go! What are you doing?!” Hugh struggled with all his might, making a last-ditch effort to break free.My mo
