Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1693

Even if he was Neo's biological son, he was not very willing to take care of the old man, especially to help him answer nature's call. The best way to take care of the old man was to let him have a partner. He did have a partner, and she had only divorced him a month ago. Neo's children were so furious when they thought of the old lady, who had abandoned their father and even stole fifty thousand dollars from the house, that they desperately hoped that they could let her face the most severe punishment.

They had searched for a very long time and had even inquired about the old lady from her neighbors in her hometown. After a month of searching, they finally found the old lady at her niece's house. Actually, their true purpose was to let the old lady take care of the old man. That way, it would be less of a hassle for the entire Dixon family. However, they also knew that the old lady was very resolute when she divorced the old man, so it was not quite possible for her to return. It so happened that the old man was indeed angered because the old lady had stolen his money. Therefore, the few siblings had a discussion and reached a unanimous decision to use the fifty thousand dollars t o blackmail the old lady.

They had come with the intention of having the old lady subdued, taking her away, and letting her take care of the old man like a servant just like before.

However, never would they have expected that the old lady would rather go to prison than to follow them back. The old lady took out her phone without any hesitation and made a call under the watchful eyes of everyone present, and that made Stefan and his siblings panic. Right at that moment, Stefan's phone rang. He picked it up and answered it. Unexpectedly, his father's condition got worse, and they were asked t o return immediately, then only did the siblings leave Hana's house, upset. The old lady was calling the police, but she hung up the call.

After Stefan and his siblings left, Hana started to reprimand the old lady. "Aunt Cecilia, you should not have stolen anything no matter what the situation was like.”

The old lady cried. "I had never stolen anything in my life. I did not even steal when I was very poor. I did it out of desperation after being forced into a corner with no other way. I had already given up after everything I’ve done was not reciprocated. I had already been married to Neo for ten years. We were a married couple for ten years. We have dined together, lived together, and slept in the same bed, but he had been guarding against me as if I was a thief. I had to wash and massage his feet and even sleep with him at night. I also had to do the laundry, prepare three meals a day, and also clean the house during the day. These are all the things that I should be doing as a wife. However, what did he say?" "He said, I am the wife from the second marriage, after all, so he had to guard against me!" she cried. "He said that no matter what, the relationship of a married couple in the second marriage just would not be close enough. They just would not be a family like how they were with their spouse in the first marriage. He said that the salary was his, so I can't get a single penny of i t. He could feed me and let me have a roof over my head, but he would not care about my relatives, including my grandson. I only have this grandson, and he is a stick as he had been going hungry since young."

She looked at Hana tearfully. "Hana, the worst mistake I have made in this life was getting married to him. If I had known this would happen, I would have wandered everywhere and do odd jobs while taking m y grandson along with me. I can raise my grandson even if I am in my forties. The child is already ten years old and is already going to fourth grade, but he did not want to pay for the child’s tuition. I truly was a t my wit’s end, so I went big and took away the fifty thousand dollars that were in the house to pay for my grandson’s tuition and living expenses for the next four years. I had already done the calculations. Your cousin would be coming out of prison in another three years. I had originally thought of turning myself in after I had paid for the child's living expenses and tuition fee, but do you know what the staff at the city hall told me? He said that I have been married to the old man for ten years. Half of his salary in those ten years was mine. I could at least get forty thousand dollars. He also said that taking the money myself is not called stealing. I thought that since I did not break any law, I can't let this go easily, so I will continue to take them to court. They can’t do anything to me anyway!”

"Aunt Cecilia, indeed you did not break the law, but it's not good for your reputation either. What happens if they come again in the future?” Hana was incredibly worried.

There was a pause before Hana said straightforwardly, "Let's move away!"
