Chapter 1

The guests were stunned when the attendants served them instant noodles.Finding it odd, they exchanged glances and whispered among themselves. Their eyes were filled with disdain. Emerald’s face turned pale.I, on the other hand, pretended as if nothing was wrong. I picked up the microphone and invited everyone to start eating.“What are you waiting for? Dig in. Do none of you like this flavor?”Emerald’s expression kept changing. In the end, she could no longer hold back and questioned me in a high-pitched voice, “Jonathan, you’ve got to be kidding me! You’re serving instant noodles at a wedding banquet?!”I let out a cold laugh and shot back, “What exactly were you expecting if not instant noodles?”The guests instantly turned to us with sharp and piercing eyes.Emerald’s face was flushed due to embarrassment. She looked like she wanted to disappear into the ground.“Most wedding banquets serve a proper feast. How humiliating is it to serve our friends and relatives this k

Hearing that someone actually believed her nonsense, Emerald’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.“Jonathan, hurry up and contact the hotel staff. Ask them to bring out the food we originally ordered. Have them serve all the good food they have.“We won’t hold this against you. After all, Amelia loves you.”The muscle in my cheek twitched, although I forced a smile.“Does she even deserve to enjoy all that good food?” I thought.“Sure. As long as you pay the bill, you can eat whatever you want.”Amelia dug her nails into my arm, and her face was filled with fury.“Jonathan, have you lost your conscience?”I smirked and pried her hand off.“I think you’re one who’s lost yours!”“Your mom only gave me 1,000 dollars for the banquet, yet she told everyone it was 100,000 dollars.“Why should I pay out of pocket just to protect your family’s dignity?”When Emerald saw me blurting out everything, she panicked and shouted at me, “What nonsense are you spouting, you jerk?! I really did

Amelia frowned, while Emerald panicked.“I-I must have transferred the wrong amount of money to his bank account. Yes, that’s it! I sent the wrong amount to him.”Then, she put the blame on me. “I clearly transferred 100,000 dollars to your bank account at that time. How could it be just 1,000 dollars?“I’m old. It’s only normal that I can’t see things clearly at this age. Why didn’t you say anything at that time? Why did you have to wait and bring it up at the wedding? Why do you have to embarrass me at a time like this?”I was about to show another chat record when Amelia shot me a look of disgust.“Jonathan, are you doing this on purpose to embarrass us?“We’ve given you a wedding gift that’s worth 880,000 dollars. Why are you making such a big fuss simply because my mother made a mistake transferring the money?”Looking at Amelia, she felt like a complete stranger to me.I knew her as a gentle and considerate woman. At this moment, she blindly sided with her mother.I star

“No. I’m not offended at all. I beg you. Please go through with the wedding first, okay?”Amelia did not listen to Emerald. Instead, she turned to me.“If you still want to marry me, apologize to my mother. Also, you need to return the wedding gift to us!”Emerald’s relatives gave her an approving thumbs-up.“That’s right. You only have one mother. If your husband doesn’t behave himself, you can always remarry.”“I wonder what makes Jonathan think he’s so special that he’s worth an 880,000-dollar wedding gift.”“Don’t let an outsider break your mother’s heart.”The more Amelia heard statements like this from the guests, the more convinced she became.“Jonathan, apologize and return the wedding gift now!“Otherwise, I’ll call off our wedding!”Emerald tried to say something, but her relatives pulled her back.All she could do was look at me with pleading eyes.I almost found it amusing. If she had the nerve to do all this, why the need to be scared of the truth?I figured s

Of course, they stopped Emerald.The way Amelia glared at me was as if she wanted to devour me alive.Some of their relatives could not help but frown.“A bank statement isn’t something an ordinary person can tamper with. Mrs. Jones, you’re overthinking it.”Emerald broke free and lunged at me. Grabbing my arm tightly, she said in a pleading tone, “Jonathan, I was wrong. I can’t bear to suffer this humiliation anymore.“I won’t lie again. Just help me with this once. Give me back 880,000 dollars, okay?“Once this is over, I’ll return the money to you.”I pulled my hand out of her grasp and took a step back.How could I be so foolish as to return the money to her? 880,000 dollars was a big sum.Moreover, there was no guarantee she would actually return it. If I transferred her the money, I would be admitting to receiving a wedding gift of that worth and being so wicked that I targeted my mother-in-law.If I let that happen, I could never clear my name.“I’m not transferring a

Everyone could not help but surround me. The bank statement showed only 8,800 dollars in the transaction.The transaction record exposed Emerald and Amelia’s carefully crafted lies, like a sharp weapon cutting through deception.The room fell into silence. The guests’ previous disdainful looks toward me shifted to shock and suspicion as they turned to the mother-daughter pair. Their fervent discussion rose like a tide.“Oh, my god! The wedding gift is only worth 8,800 dollars instead of 880,000 dollars. Mrs. Jones, why did you tell us such a big lie?”“I can’t believe we trusted you so blindly and that you had us completely fooled.”“If Jonathan hadn’t stood his ground, he would’ve silently taken all the blame.”My legs were still numb. The sharp pain in my abdomen made my entire body tremble, and I could barely support myself.I gritted my teeth and looked at Emerald and Amelia coldly.Amelia stared at the record on the screen. Her face turned as white as a ghost. Her lips tre

“Everyone can see for themselves who’s the real victim and who’s the extorter.”I picked up my phone, which had a shattered screen. It was still functional enough to make calls. So, I dialed the emergency line in front of everyone.“Hello, Sir. I’d like to report a crime.“Someone deliberately injured me. They’ve also been spreading lies and slandering me for a long time to ruin my reputation.”Hearing that I was calling the police, Amelia jolted up in a panic. She pointed at me and shouted, “Jonathan, don’t go too far! What my mother did was wrong, but family matters shouldn’t be made public! Hang up now!”“Family matters shouldn’t be made public, huh?”I smirked.“It’s too late to say that now.“Think carefully. Did I give you a chance to resolve this privately?”Amelia recalled it.I had not only given her one chance to do so, but I had given her two.She was the one who made it worse.Seeing that I was serious about involving the police, the guests scrambled to leave.

Perhaps the company’s lawsuit was not entirely airtight, but they had a team of lawyers to wear Amelia down.In the end, she could no longer put up a fight.She had no choice but to resign herself.Their relatives distanced themselves from them. Even Emerald’s close friends never set foot in their home again.When Amelia came to the hospital, she looked extremely haggard.She brought a fruit basket and forced a smile of flattery. “Jonathan, I was wrong. I really know that now. Could you forgive me this time?“My mother’s old. She can’t handle any more stress. Besides, I already lost my job. If this keeps going, my family and I will be done for.“Could you speak up for me and my mother online? Jonathan, I’m begging you.”I was indifferent.“What does this have to do with me? You and your mother caused this trouble.”Amelia was upset with my indifferent treatment toward her. She stepped closer and anxiously said, “Jonathan, how could you say that? We’re supposed to spend our li

When David saw Amelia, his gaze turned deadly.“Amelia, you still have the nerve to show up, huh?”David was my closest friend. He had witnessed everything at the wedding. He had been by my side over the past few days. He had also long held deep anger for Emerald and Amelia.Before Amelia could react, he was already in front of her and delivering a slap across her face.The crisp sound caused Amelia’s head to turn sideways. His handprint was visible on her cheek.“Trash! Jonathan’s a good man. You and your mother ruined him. How dare you come here and try to gain his sympathy?!“Listen here. Jonathan was blind to fall for you. Get out right now! Your presence is a nuisance to us!”Amelia cradled her face in shock and fury.“You hit me!”“What about it? I was partly tempted to tear you apart!”Amelia stared at the furious David before turning to me. I looked at her with apathy. She realized that staying any longer would get her nothing, so she spat out one last threat, “Jonath

“If you hadn’t constantly lied and bragged, none of this would’ve happened to us! I wouldn’t have lost my job and ended up being judged everywhere I go!“You’re lying there not having to do anything while I have to take care of you. This is all your fault!”When Emerald heard Amelia’s rebuke on her sickbed, she trembled with anger. Her voice was muffled as she tried to defend herself.“N-No… I-I d-did it for y-you…”“For me?”Amelia kicked the side of the bed.“You did it for your own pride! My life is in shambles. Are you happy now?”Emerald stared at Amelia’s distorted and savage expression. Her gaze was filled with despair and grief as tears slid down her face.She wanted to refute Amelia, but with her speech impaired, she could not form a complete sentence.All she could do was watch helplessly as her daughter pinned all the blame on her.Before long, the court announced the verdict.Amelia was sentenced to one year and six months in prison for intentional assault.Emer
