Chapter 3

Just as John finished speaking, the security guards rushed forward and tried to stop us.

Gabby even started recording us on her phone.

“Everyone, look! These two shameless lunatics are trying to ruin our New Year.

“She even pretended to be my husband’s wife to scam us! They didn’t expect to bump into me, the actual wife, and their plan has failed!

“Please share this video after you watch it so they won’t be able to scam other people!”

A few passersby saw what happened.

They started pointing fingers at us.

Mary had never felt so insulted in her entire life.

She crawled over to grab John’s pants.

“John, how can you do this?”

John and Gabby were frightened.

When John saw that it was an unfashionable old lady with her face covered in blood, he just kicked her impatiently.

“Who is this old hag? How dare you touch me? I’m going to chop your hand off!”

Mary fell to the floor in fright. She suddenly pressed her hand against her chest in pain.

I looked at her panting and realized that she might be having a seizure.

I quickly went over to hug her and tried my best to comfort her.

John slid his hands into his pockets and walked to me to warn me.

“Helen, it seems like something is wrong with your mother.

“If you don’t send her to the hospital immediately, I don’t think she’ll survive.

“Are you going to make a big fuss, or are you going to save your mother’s life?”

I looked at his vicious gaze and realized what was going on.

He had not realized that this was his own mother. He was trying to threaten me with that.

I sneered.

“John, take a good look at who she is!”

John frowned impatiently and smacked his lips.

“Why would I do that? How would I not recognize this old face?

“If it weren’t for you coming over and making a big fuss to embarrass me, I wouldn’t have done this! I’m not a monster!

“Even though my career isn’t as established as yours, I’m still rather successful. Aren’t you scared that my mother will find out about this and be upset over it?”

His irrationality made me want to slap him.

However, Mary’s safety was more important than our marriage.

I gritted my teeth and almost gave in.

At the same time, a man started speaking.

“Helen, is that you? What’s going on?”

I turned around and saw Richard Lee, a CEO who had a long working relationship with my company.

I quickly yelled at him.

“She’s suffering from a seizure. Quick, help me save her!”

Then, I pointed at John and Gabby.

“This is my husband, but he’s harming his own mother and framing his wife over his mistress and illegitimate child…”

When Richard heard that, he immediately wanted to walk over to assess the situation.

However, John stopped him.

“Who are you? How do you know Helen?”

I was immediately anxious.

“John, can you stop? Can’t you see that she’s suffering from a seizure?”

I rarely interacted with Mary.

However, I still respected her as an elder. Besides, during my few years of marriage, she had never once asked me to go to the countryside to take care of her. Our relationship was civil.

Besides, I heard that Mary had brought up John as a single mother because her husband had betrayed her when she was younger.

I really did not want her to be hurt by her son any further.

“Take a good look, this is your own mother!

“Stop being immature! Are you risking her life just because you are trying to make my life difficult?”

At the same time, someone wearing a doctor’s coat suddenly appeared.

He adjusted his glasses and introduced himself as the doctor of the housing area.

I quickly asked him to assess Mary’s condition.

However, he shook his head after he examined Mary.

“Miss, can the two of you just stop acting?

“This old lady is completely fine. She’s putting on an act!”

Gabby immediately rushed over when she heard that. She wanted to hit me.

“You’re so evil! Just because you couldn’t get my husband, you’re still trying to smear his name by doing this. I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

John gently hugged her.

“Gabby, let’s not stoop to this lunatic’s level. Be careful of our child!”

I was so furious that I could not even say a word. The sight of them conspiring against me drove me up the wall.

John stared at me arrogantly.

“You heard that, this is the highly-paid doctor of this area. His diagnosis is reliable.

“What other tricks are you going to pull?”
