Chapter 3

Roselyn stepped forward and slapped me across the face, grabbing my phone out of my hand.

"You shameless woman, trying to pretend to be my sister-in-law. Look at yourself! Do you really think someone like you could ever be part of my family?"

"Aunt Sadie, take a good look. What kind of siblings take photos like this?"

Roselyn opened my photo album and deliberately selected pictures of me and my brother looking close.

There was one where we were shopping, and he was holding my bag for me. Another was from a hiking trip where he helped me up a steep slope. The rest were just family photos where I happened to lean my head towards him—a habit I'd had since childhood.

"You've all been deceived by Roselyn. She's just trying to..."

Roselyn slapped me again, cutting me off.

"Aunt Sadie, gag her with a cloth. Let's see if she can keep talking!"

The women pinned me down, and a woman in her fifties took out a cloth. She forced my jaw open.

"This girl's mouth is still defiant. Let's see if I can shut it up today!"

The woman slapped my face back and forth until I tasted blood. My head spun, and I was forced to open my mouth. The moment the cloth was stuffed in, I felt a wave of nausea and gagged, vomiting violently.

Roselyn, with her pregnant belly, couldn't dodge in time and got covered in my vomit from head to toe.

"Sabrina, you did that on purpose!" Roselyn screeched, pointing at me angrily. "Aunt Sadie, teach her a lesson! Hit her hard!"

"Whoever helps the most today will get the necklace around her neck and the gold bracelet on her wrist!"

As soon as Roselyn finished speaking, someone grabbed my neck and yanked hard, ripping off my necklace. Several others gritted their teeth, trying to pull off my bracelet.

This bracelet was a reward I bought for myself in my first year of work. Now, I've gained over ten pounds since then, and it wouldn't come off easily.

But these people didn't care and used brute force to pull at it. I felt like my bones were about to break.

I cried and begged, "You're breaking my bones! Please stop!"

"This bracelet won't come off!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Roselyn is lying to you! This bracelet isn't real gold. I bought it at a cheap jewelry store just for fun!"
