Chapter 5

Wendy carried her second son’s dead body in her arms and cried the whole night.

The next day, Liam and her drove to my place with Charlie and made a scene.

Reporters were surrounding the Reid family mansion. Wendy was not satisfied with that, so she hired a funeral party to put up funeral decorations all around the mansion.

It was extremely annoying.

“Everyone, are you seeing this?! My son was killed by his heartless aunt!

“My own sister has been looking down on me ever since she married a rich man. I’ve been begging her to lend me some money to treat my newly born child.

“My pleas fell on deaf ears. Now, my child is dead. We’ll all die before her house and let her regret it!”

She was carrying the dead baby with a scarf wrapped around her head as she sobbed.

The crowd was intrigued by the story.

“I heard that Ruby couldn’t give birth to a son, so she’s been jealous of her younger sister. That’s why she was unwilling to save her nephew.”

“The Reid family has such a huge business. They must have a son as an heir. If they can’t have one, Ruby must have some issues.”

“Her daughter doesn’t look like her either. Maybe they got a surrogate.”

Liam was walking around with a miniature coffin as funeral music played.

Olivia was initially playing on the swing in the garden. The commotion frightened her, and she hid and cried.

“Ruby, let’s just lend your younger sister some money and get them off our property.”

Peter and Mariam were business people, so they cared about their image. Hence, they tried persuading me.

“That’s right, Ruby. If you don’t have that money, I can give it to you. It’s not good for them to keep making a scene before our house.”

Ben also called me and suggested that I use money to resolve this issue.

Statements of how I had killed my nephew had gone viral online. Netizens argued with each other.

They were calling me all sorts of names. They even asked Olivia to die to make up for Wendy’s son’s death.

The Reid Corporation’s stocks were affected by the online discourse and kept falling.

I did not listen to anyone. I had made a decision to not lend them any money.

I opened the door and walked out and faced the reporters.

“Hello everyone, thanks for your concern. My brother-in-law has gambled away my younger sister’s two houses, which includes my wedding fund of a million dollars.

“I lent them five hundred thousand dollars a few years ago, and they did not even repay a single cent to me. No matter how much money I have, it’ll never be enough for this black hole.

“Besides, I was switched at birth with my younger sister. We are not related. Everyone, please be my witness today. From today onwards, I will cut ties with her officially.”

Wendy saw that her lies had been exposed, so she grabbed me and whispered, “Ruby, if you refuse to give me anything today, we’ll stay here and haunt you forever.

“After that, you’ll have to take care of us.

“I’d like to see who folds first.”

“Is that so?”

I was not angered. Instead, I laughed.

I turned around and called home.

“Hello, is this Liam’s wife? Your husband is having an affair and a child out here in the city.”

Liam’s first wife had lost her mind because she could not bear children.

She had loved to torture Liam’s illegitimate sons.

It was high time that Wendy experienced the torture I had experienced in the past.
