Chapter 10
She gave me a fierce glare and pushed me away, “You little brat, finally showing your true colors. I always wondered how someone like you could be so shamelessly nice to someone who invaded your family. And you even had the audacity to call me ‘mom‘, coaxing Konnor to give you money like crazy. I bet you’ve managed to swindle a lot of money from your dad over the years, haven’t you?”
Seeing her angry, I couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. I casually smiled at her and said, “I am my father’s daughter, and it’s only natural for him to take care of me. Otherwise, should I leave it to you and the illegitimate child?” I glanced at her stomach and pretended to be shocked, covering my mouth. “Oh dear, I forgot that the illegitimate child is no longer here, and there won’t be any in the future!”
Upon hearing my words, Savanna’s eyes were about to shoot fire. She tightly grabbed onto my collar and through gritted teeth, she asked, “I knew it was you, it was you who caused me to lose my child. Otherwise, how could I have been perfectly fine and suddenly had a miscarriage after falling down?”
I saw more and more people gathering around the hotel entrance. I raised my voice and pleaded with her, “Savanna, I beg you, please return my father’s money! He divorced my mother for you, and after you took his money, his business plummeted, and the factory is on the verge of bankruptcy!”
The people around were pointing and whispering at Savanna, and the hotel staff looked at her disdainfully. “I always wondered why this woman comes to book a room with different men every day, turns out she’s a repeat offender!”
Savanna was furious, “What madness are you up to again? Give me back my son!!”
I still looked pitiful, “It was my fault for not taking good care of you back then. I only remembered to do my homework and forgot to help you take a bath. But I didn’t want you to fall either.”
Several onlooker women spat at her indignantly, “Pah! How dare you, a mistress, be so arrogant and even boss around the daughter of the original wife. Release that girl immediately!”
Savanna angrily defended herself to those around, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, it was her who killed my son! I have ended up like this because of her!” Saying that she lost control and grabbed my neck.
But this was also what I had expected, deliberately provoking her in order to escalate the situation.
The hotel staff had already called the police when we were arguing, and just when I was about to suffocate, the police arrived. They rushed forward without hesitation and rescued me.
Savanna was suppressed by them on the ground, and I wiped away my tears and spoke in a trembling voice with the comfort of the crowd, “Officer, thank you for saving me. She is my stepmother. After driving away my mom, she married my dad. Later, she had a miscarriage and blamed it on me. Then she took a large sum of money from my dad and ran away. I came here on a business trip today and happened to run into her, so I confronted her. Who would have known that she actually wanted to kill me.”
The onlookers were all testifying for me, and even the hotel staff came forward to tell the police that Savanna was a repeat offender. They often saw her arguing with different men at the hotel entrance over money.
Savanna was restrained but still struggled unwillingly, constantly cursing in her mouth, “You little bitch, you’ve made me suffer so much!”
I kept wiping my tears and didn’t say a word. Instead, the police couldn’t bear it anymore and tightened their grip on her, saying, “Watch your mouth! You’re so arrogant even after attempted murder, and you’re also involved in prostitution and fraud. Come with us to the police station!”
I felt an immense satisfaction when I saw them forcefully putting Savanna into the car. As she glared at me with hatred through the car window, I took the opportunity to wave at her with a bright smile, unnoticed by anyone.
Goodbye, you woman who tore my family apart. In the future, I will get along better with my mother, while you, will end up with nothing.
