Wallace froze completely, and his hand hung midair.

“Y-You’re awake?” he stammered and instantly sobered up.

The blade against his neck was ice-cold.

“How could I negotiate if I were passed out?” I sneered and pressed the blade a little harder against his throat.

A thin line of blood trickled down his neck.

Wallace trembled uncontrollably.

“D-Don’t be reckless! Murder is a crime!

“Your mother agreed to the marriage in exchange for cash.”

“I know,” I said as I stared at his greasy face.

  • My Mom Sold Me To A Cripple   Chapter 7

    The movers were startled.“Ms. Ward, should we call 911?”I took out my phone. Instead of dialing 911, I turned on the camera and recorded a video.Then, I sent it to Jasper, who was still being detained.This was my first big gift for him.“No need to hurry,” I said calmly to the movers as I put my phone away.“She won’t die. Only the good die young.”Several minutes later, I leisurely dialed the emergency number.“Hello, 911? An old lady passed out here.“Yes, no rush. Take your time.”Rosemary was paralyzed.She suffered from hemiplegia, a twisted mouth, and incontinence.With no money to hire a caregiver, she had to be taken back home.Jasper remained locked up while he awaited sentencing for large-scale fraud and gambling charges.Lily, however, was released after pinning all the blame on Jasper and Rosemary.She went back to that house not to care for her mother-in-law, but to gather valuables and run.She ransacked the place searching for anything of worth, but i

    The police shoved the banquet hall doors open, and several officers in uniform strode in.The hall fell silent for a few seconds. Only Rosemary’s wailing continued, “Summer! You wicked girl! I’m your mother!”“Officer, I’m the one who called.”I calmly walked down the stage and approached the lead officer.I handed over the USB drive, my injury report, and backup copies of the recordings. I had prepared all of them in advance.“These people are suspected of illegal confinement, human trafficking, fraud, extortion, and assault. All the evidence is right here.”The officer took the evidence. He glanced at the large screen, and his face turned grim.“Take them away.”The officers moved toward them swiftly.Jasper was so frightened that his legs gave out, and he hid under a table.“I’m not going! I didn’t do anything!“Summer! My dear sister, please help me! I’m your little brother!”An officer grabbed his ankle and dragged him out.With a click, a pair of silver handcuffs was

Murder is a crime!“Your mother agreed to the marriage in exchange for cash.”“I know,” I said as I stared at his greasy face.“Forty-two thousand dollars to buy my life. That’s a pretty good deal.“But Wallace, do you think I’m worth forty-two thousand dollars?”Wallace swallowed hard.“Y-Yes... you’re worth it.”“Good,” I said as I withdrew the blade. However, I was still keeping it at the ready.“Since I’m worth that much, I can’t just get married to you like some dirty secret.“I want a proper wedding.”Wallace was stunned.“W-What do you mean?”“I’m saying that we’re going to have an engagement party.”I

    I closed my eyes and shoved the hatred down.Soon, dinner was ready. Everyone gathered around the dining table in an unnervingly harmonious atmosphere.Rosemary pushed a bowl of chicken soup toward me. It was filled to the brim.“Sunny, drink this soup. It’s good for you. I’ve let it cool, so it’s just right.”She smiled at me, but I could still see the scheming in her eyes.I remained motionless.“Summer, drink it,” Jasper urged. “Mom’s being thoughtful. Don’t be ungrateful.”Everyone at the table was watching me and silently pressing me to comply.I decided to test them one last time.What if, ultimately, they could not bring themselves to be so cruel and ruin my life?After all, we had been family for decades.If they hesitated, I could make arrangements for them one last time and simply cut ties forever.However, if they remained unrepentant, they could not blame me for what came next.So, I pushed the bowl toward Lilly and said, “Lily, you’re pregnant. You should dr

    I turned to leave after I was done talking. However, I could hear Rosemary yelling at me from behind, “You wretched girl!“I don’t give a damn if you have to sell your body or a kidney. Get the money by today. No excuses!”When I walked out of the hospital, the wind was bitterly cold.I did not go to work or a friend’s house. Instead, I returned to that house.While they were all at the hospital, no one was home.I stepped over the mess in the living room and went straight to my bedroom.The moment I pushed the door open, I froze.My bed was gone. In its place stood a massive gaming chair and a set of expensive computer equipment.The walls were plastered with gaming posters, while the floor was piled with Jasper’s dirty clothes and smelly socks.Several empty beer bottles sat on a pile of my books in the corner. My treasured figurines were also being used as Jasper’s ashtrays.My room had been converted into Jasper’s gaming room!I rushed to the wardrobe and yanked it ope

    The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was overwhelming.I sat on the bench outside the emergency room with a piece of gauze taped to my forehead.The doctor said the wound was not deep, but it might leave a scar.I did not care.I stood up and shuffled toward the payment counter.As I passed the doctor’s office, I heard familiar voices through the slightly open door.“Thanks, Luc. I owe you a meal.”It was Lily’s voice, and it was tinged with satisfaction.“The fake ultrasound looked so real. That idiot sister-in-law of mine must’ve been scared stiff.”Then, a man replied, “It was nothing. But this is really risky, Lily. If anyone finds out—”“Who’s going to find out? She’s my own sister and a total doormat.” Jasper snorted.“All Mom has to do is turn on the waterworks and make a scene, and she’ll fold. It works every time.”Next came Rosemary’s voice.“This miscarriage story is the perfect chance to get that apartment from her.“Once we sell it, we’ll split the profi
