Chapter 1 of Under Attack: Confronting My Vicious Sister-in-Law

After divorce, I took my daughter back to my parents' home. My sister-in-law blocked me and my daughter outside the door.

……

After I found out that my husband had a mistress, I divorced him without hesitation.

I moved back to my mother's home with my daughter.

My mother's house was very big. It's a villa, big enough to accommodate me and my daughter.

I had thought that my family would comfort me and even help me fight back when they saw me being bullied.

But I was wrong.

When my sister-in-law saw me coming back for the first sight, she was smiling.

"Welcome back. Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could go buy groceries."

The next second, her expression changed when she saw that I had several large boxes.

"Nancy, why are you carrying so many boxes?"

I took my daughter Annie and sat her down on the sofa.

"Karen, Tom Bill and I are divorced, so I'm moving back here to live for a few days."

"Don't worry, I'm just staying here for a few days. I'll find a house and move out soon."

She suddenly raised her voice.

"What? You're divorced? And you want to move back home?"

"Yes, Karen, there are still many spared rooms at home. Annie and I just stay here temporarily. Is that okay?"

She didn't respond, nor did she mention buying groceries and cooking. She immediately went back to her room.

After a while, I put all my luggage into the empty room where I usually stayed and settled Annie down.

Mom came back in a hurry.

I guess Karen called her.

I saw her anxious look and felt a little sorry for her.

She must be very sad to know that I was divorced.

So, I didn't call them at first. I thought it would be better to tell them in person.

"Nancy, are you really divorced from Tom?"

"Yes, Mom, he..."

Before I could finish my words, my mother was spinning around the room emotionally.

"How can you get a divorce? How can you get a divorce?"

"Who is Tom? He is such a capable and rich man. How can you find such another man after you divorce him?"

I felt very upset. After my mother came back, she didn't say a single word to comfort me. Instead, she spoke well of the cheating scumbag.

"Mom, don't you ask me why I'm getting divorced?"

She was stunned, "Why?"

Tears fell from my eyes as I recalled the anger and grievance I felt when I found out that Tom was cheating on me.

"Mom, Tom cheated on me. He used our money to support a mistress."

I thought my mother would comfort me and curse Tom, but I didn't expect that she just said casually.

"I thought it was a big deal, just a mistress. It's too common in society nowadays."

"Even poor men want to have concubines, let alone a man as successful as Tom."

"Nancy, you are just too stubborn. You can just turn a blind eye and let it go."

"Listen to me. Go back, and apologize to Tom, and remarry him. It'll be all okay, and you two can continue to live your life well."

I couldn't believe that this was what my mom could say.

She was my biological mother!

Her daughter suffered such a great injustice, but she didn't even try to comfort me nor help me fight back.

Instead, she asked me to compromise and apologize?

I was so sad that I stopped talking to her.

I fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already night.

My daughter also fell asleep next to me without even a blanket covering her.

I quickly covered her with a blanket and got up to look for something to eat.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard people talking in the living room.

"Did she really divorce Tom?" Karen asked.

"Yes, I asked Tom." My big brother Tim replied.

"Tom said that she was too strong all day long and that he was just playing an act, but she insisted that he was cheating on her and wanted a divorce."

"She has been like this since she was a child. She never bows her head. It's time for her to reflect on herself."

Mother said.

"Mom, Tom said that as long as we convince Nancy to remarry him, he will not care what had happened. He will even give us some money and let me continue to work at the Bill Group and give me a promotion."

"Really?" Karen was very happy.

"Yes, Tom has taken good care of our family. How can Nancy find such a good person again?"

Hehe!

I didn't expect this. They are my family, the people I have always been helping.

For the sake of profit, they didn't care about my feelings at all and may even betray me.

I closed the door gently and walked over to seat myself opposite.

The four people all looked at me.

"So everyone is here, what are you talking about?" I casually picked up a banana.

First, my brother said.

"Nancy, Tom called me and said that as long as you are willing to apologize and admit your mistakes, he will forgive you."

"Tim, he cheated on me but you asked me to apologize and admit my mistakes. Based on what?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You think I don't know. The person you're talking about cheating on you with is Secretary Jenny, right? She's innocent, but you insist on saying she's a mistress."

"You've ruined her reputation by doing this, so you should apologize."

I was so mad that I was really about to laugh.

This was my good brother. For the sake of work and the money that Tom had promised, he could ignore my grievances and even lie.

How could he not know about Tom and the mistress?

They go out together every day and do shameless things in the office without hiding.

Everyone in the company listened to her and forgets about me, the real Mrs. Bill.

I had video evidence.

Now he wanted me to apologize to that mistress.

It was totally unjust.

They simply thought that if I divorce Tom, I would live in very misery.

I may even ask them for help.

But they were wrong again.

What they didn't know was that I was the one who brought such a great success to the Bill Group over these years.

Tom?

Hmph!

Who he thought he was? Just because he was entitled as the chairman of the board, he took himself as the owner of the entire company.

Did they think I had no backup plans?

After all, they were as stupid as Tom.

All of them didn't understand me at all.

Waiting for me to apologize to the mistress? What are you dreaming about?

I didn't agree to apologize to the woman.

The whole family was anxious.

Karen said in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, there are so many people in this family, and the house is too small to hold us all."

"Honey, you have to work hard and earn more money. We still have to support Nancy and her daughter."

While eating, my mother shed tears that couldn't be more fake.

She put all the meat into the bowl of her eldest grandson, Max, Karen's son.

Finally, I picked up some vegetables for Annie.

"Annie, I'm so sorry. Grandma is not capable to make money. So I can't afford good food. You deal with it."

After dinner, mother gave all the peeled apple flesh to Max.

Hand Annie a few slices of apple skin.

Annie looked at me pitifully.

"Mom, I want to eat apples, too."

I picked up my phone and transferred 20,000 dollars to my mother.

"Mom, we're only staying here for a few days. I'll move out once I find a house. During this time, please help me look after Annie. Please accept the money. If it's not enough, I'll transfer more to you later."

She looked at the money transferred into her account and then reluctantly gave Annie a small apple.

I was not poor. I was super rich instead.

But during this period of time, I had to deal with issues with the Bill Group and find a house, so I couldn't be distracted to take good care of Annie.

That's why I thought about going back to my mother's house. In here, at least Annie was safe, and I could devote myself to my own work.

I had originally planned to give my mother and the others a large sum of money, but when I came back, no one welcomed me, and no one said a word of comfort to me.

So, I regretted.

I won't give my money to these ungrateful people.

Twenty thousand dollars for a few days, I thought it was enough.

During the day, I went out to get my work done and connect with my other relationships.

I registered a new company.

I wanted to seize all business of the Bill Group to my new company little by little.

I was confident and have already achieved more than a half.

At noon, when I had a little free time, I turned on the surveillance camera at home.

I had installed that before, just to check on my old parents occasionally, fearing that something might happen to them.

But what I saw today made me furious.

In the surveillance video, Max was hitting Annie on the head with a toy.

He kept talking while smashing.

"Get lost, this is my home, not yours. Why do you live here?"

Three-year-old Annie couldn't speak much. She just covered her head and cried as going to look for her grandmother.

Unexpectedly, instead of comforting her, my mother pushed her to the ground.

"Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying? You are a money-loser from another family. You are here in my house, but you dare to cry after snatching my grandson's toys."

Max became even more arrogant after seeing my mother's attitude.

He picked up other toys and kept hitting Annie on the head.

I was furious.

I spoke loudly to the monitor.

"Max, if you dare to hurt Annie again, I will throw you out immediately."

When Max heard me talking on the surveillance camera, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt justified.

"Humph, my mom said this is my house, and she's going to throw you out."

"You are just a piece of trash that no one wants."

After he said that, he kicked Annie hard in the stomach.

Annie cried loudly in grievance.

My heart ached. I could bear the injustice because they were my family after all.

But not Annie, she was my daughter and she had no obligations to bear that family.

I got home quickly.

I saw Annie being left at the door alone and crying loudly.

It was so dangerous. She was only 3 years old, what if she got kidnapped by bad people?

They were so stone-heart that they even did such thing to a kid.

I was so angry that my whole body was shaking.

But at this time, Karen opened the door.

She's being hypocritical.

"Nancy, I'm not blaming you. But you're a divorced woman with a kid. How can you find another man?"

"Now Tom has said that he can forgive you, as long as you apologize. You should give in."

"I have already notified Tom, and he will come to pick you and your daughter up soon."

She slammed the door, and two minutes later, opened it again and threw all three of our suitcases out.

She also said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

For my own good?

Hehe!

Before I could react, Tom's car stopped in front of me.

He sat in the driver's seat, stuck his head out, and looked at me in disgrace with pride.

"How is it? Nancy Harper, can you still live without me?"

"Forget it. Since we have been married for so many years, I can let that pass. Just go and apologize to Jenny, and I'm still willing to take you back."

I glared at him, this piece of trash, who I caught with his mistress in our bed.

He even shamelessly protected the mistress.

"It's because you're not gentle and virtuous, so Jenny came to help me release."

"She is an innocent girl who is kind enough to help me. Don't hold on to her."

"If I go after whores, aren't you afraid that I'll be infected by STD?"

Now that we had been divorced, he still insisted on asking me to apologize.

"Fuck off."

I picked up a brick from the roadside and threw it at his luxury car.

Waiting for my apology? He could be lucky enough if I didn't beat him to death.

Seeing his beloved car being smashed, he got out in a hurry, pointing at me and cursing at me angrily.

"Nancy, this is what you are, not gentle at all. That's why I'm looking for other girl."

"I'm giving you one last chance now. I'm doing this for Annie's sake. I don't want Annie to suffer with you. Don't be so stupid."

I want the chance?

Give me a month at most and I will bankrupt him.

He thought that because I still held expectations on him, so when we divorced, I didn't request all his property and didn't fall out with him in front of everyone in the company.

Just wait and see.

I picked up a brick, but this time I didn't smash the car, because I smashed him directly.

I hit his neatly combed head with a brick.

Immediately, he covered his bleeding head and started screaming.

"Nancy, you, you deserve it. You deserve that even your own family dislikes you."

"You are a shrew."

Yes, he is right, I am a shrew.

I hit him in the head and he ran faster than anything else.

I looked at the gate of the villa in front of me, thinking about all the subsidies and contributions I had made to the family over the years.

Sadness slowly filled my entire heart.

It was such a cold day, but they just kicked me and my daughter out of the house without showing any mercy.

Since they didn't consider me as a family member, there was no need to leave them this house.

I silently took out my cell phone and made a call.

A few minutes later.......
