The next day I went to the auction venue and was just about to see if there was anything similar to my mother's Renaissance painted pottery vase, when I turned around and saw an identical item on display at the auction venue.
"This is a blue and white porcelain from the Tang and Song dynasties, the starting bid is 100 million!"
Auction staff gave demonstrations and explanations.
But I was stunned.
That Renaissance pottery vase was missing a corner, where I accidentally broke it when I was a child.
It's exactly the same as the one my mom gave me.
My eyes immediately turned red, and I grabbed a staff member passing by and asked, "Who provided this item?"
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then pointed in a direction.
I looked over and it was Sophia.
When Sophia, who was sitting in the front row, heard the starting bid was 100 million, her eyes lit up.
"I never thought that a vase I just picked up would be so valuable. I have to go back and look for it."
Only then did I realize that during the few days she stayed at my house, she had looted a lot of things from my house and put them up for auction.
I sneered and called the police.
Half an hour later, the auction was forced to end.
The police suddenly appeared and arrested the smug Sophia.
"Someone reported you for burglary. Come with us."
Sophia turned pale and struggled madly:
"Let me go. Who is the thief? I didn't steal anything. Stop spitting insults at me!"
Seeing me walk out from behind the police, Sophia's expression became distorted, and she pointed at me and cursed:
"Sylvia, how could you call the police to arrest me? I'm not a thief at all, tell them to let me go!"
I stared at her coldly, "Sophia, I gave you a chance."
"It's you who's pushing it too far and refusing to leave."
As I watched Sophia being taken away by the police in tears, I felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Sylvia, how could you be so vicious? How could you let the police take Sophia away?"
When Lucas heard the news, he came over with red eyes and started scolding me.
In order to get Sophia out on bail as soon as possible, he actually ran to the police station with his marriage certificate and confessed it voluntarily.
"I gave all these things to Sophia. She is my sister. These are my joint property. It is not considered stealing at all."
The police called me and asked, "Sylvia, a man claiming to be your husband has come to bail out a thief. Should we release him?"
"Wait till I come over."
Two minutes later, I arrived at the police station and threw out a divorce agreement.
"Sign it and get out of here."
Lucas stared at the document in amazement, his hands were shaking, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"Wife, you want to divorce me just because of an antique vase?"
"Let them laugh at us in front of outsiders."
"No, I won't leave!"
Lucas tore the divorce agreement into pieces.
"Comrade police officer, we haven't divorced yet, so these are indeed our joint property."
In principle, this is indeed the case, and the police had no choice but to release the person.
Sophia was taught a lesson at the police station and then taken back by Lucas.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to the villa, I saw Lucas' parents.
He even brought his parents-in-law back from the countryside.
As soon as they saw me, the two elders looked at me coldly and started to criticize me.
"Sylvia, you are married into our family, so you are a member of our family. Although Sophia is an adopted daughter, she is the apple of our eye. She has everything she wants. It is said that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. How can you be so stingy?"
