Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Looking at the screen, more than twenty videos were playing at the same time, each one with Yolanda’s face plastered all over it!
Zachary spotted the mole on Yolanda’s buttock in the midst of all the videos. If the girl in the video wasn’t her, how could the person who made the video possibly know where her mole was?
Also, there was a scar on her thigh from a burn she got when she was a kid near the root of her thigh. If the girl in the video wasn’t her, why was even the position of this scar spot on?
“Still dare to say it’s not you?” Zachary was livid, raising his hand, wishing he could slap her again!
This time, Yolanda lost her composure and stepped back in disbelief.
Who could possibly dredge up everything that happened a year ago?
At that moment, a figure flashed through her mind. Could it be Mirabella?
Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Panter suddenly gained confidence, “So it was you! You swore on your whole family just to mislead everyone. You’re a cold–blooded, wicked person!”
Before Yolanda could react, she was slapped by Mrs. Panter!
“How dare you hit my daughter?” Olga was immediately anxious and wanted to step in.
“You disgusting creature, if your parents didn’t teach you manners, then I will!” Mrs. Panter landed another slap on Yolanda.
Olga tried to stop her, but Mr. Panter blocked her way. Demetrius was about to step in, but Mr. Panter punched him hard.
The whole scene turned into chaos. Even the host was stunned, not knowing what to do.
“Take a look at the wonderful daughter you raised!” Mr. Panter punched Demetrius once more, not caring they were on stage.
Seeing her husband’s lip bleeding, Olga screamed and tried to stop it. But then she saw Mrs. Panter slap Yolanda again while Yolanda was still clutching Zachary’s hand, trying to explain!
“You two–faced snake, I’m going to expose you for who you really are!” Mrs. Panter didn’t hesitate and lunged forward, her freshly manicured nails harshly scratching across Yolanda Melton’s face.
Yolanda screamed in pain, her hair being pulled by Mrs. Panter, and even her wedding dress got ripped off.
“Since you’ve thrown all dignity to the wind, why not just let everyone see the real you? After all, they’ve all seen your antics!”
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Yolanda tried to protect her wedding dress with one hand and wildly hit Mrs. Panter with the other, accidentally hitting Mrs. Panter’s face.
“You dare to hit me, you wretch!”
Mrs. Panter quickly pinned Yolanda to the ground, sitting on her and hitting her repeatedly while tearing at her wedding dress.
Yolanda was screaming for help from Zachary, but Zachary just stood aside, coldly watching her.
The guests from the Melton family tried to intervene but ended up arguing with the guests from the Panter family.
Some Panter family guests even helped Mrs. Panter by holding down Yolanda, spitting in her face, and helping to rip her clothes.
Unable to help her husband, Olga turned to save her daughter, but was blocked by relatives of the Panter family, who pointed their fingers and cursed at her, even throwing things at her.
As all hell was breaking loose, the screen suddenly switched to Grace Melton’s hospital room.
Last night at eleven, during the shift change, the Melton family of three sneaked into the old lady’s room, begging her for help.
The guests were all stunned by this scene, never expecting that the usually arrogant Demetrius would secretly bring his wife and daughter to beg for help.
Hadn’t they just spent a fortune to buy the land? How did they become so desperate?
The people fighting on the stage also stopped, stunned by this revelation about the Melton family.
Olga was even more shocked. When was their every move in the room recorded?
Was there a camera in the old lady’s room?!
The thought made her feel weak and almost unable to stand!
“Mom, when we asked for your help, you refused, and we didn’t want to upset you any further.”
Demetrius knelt on the ground, sincerely saying, “Later, we heard about a piece of land that could make us a fortune if we bought it. So, Olga and I sold everything we had, including our house, shares, and cash! We also took out huge loans from many local banks, borrowed money from many people, and finally raised 1.2 billion dollars!”
The guests were shocked to hear this, and they couldn’t believe the Meltons had bought their land this way, and they were wondering where they got their money from!
It turned out they hustled and borrowed from all over to gather the money!
Feeling the disdain and contempt from all sides, Olga shouted, “Who’s monitoring this? Stop the playback immediately!”
The host hurriedly asked someone to check backstage and instructed the staff to pause the video.
However, although the staff had pressed many times, the machine still did not respond, “We can’t stop it! We don’t know what happened, and this machine seemed to be malfunctioning!”
“Cut the power off!”
“Can’t do it!”
This was the first time the workers had encountered something like this, which was totally mind–boggling.
In the CCTV footage, Demetrius was seen kneeling by an old woman’s bedside, sobbing, “We finally managed to buy this piece of land, but we’ve been told that we must start construction within a month and can’t sell it for five years.”
It was true. The Panter family had been interested in the property before, but they backed off when they heard about the five–year hold period.
They were puzzled about how the Melton family could afford to sit on the land for five years. As it turned out, the Melton family was clueless about the whole thing.
“We’ve borrowed money from many local banks and acquaintances. Just the interest alone costs us over $300,000 a month. But our company’s funds are tight, and our monthly profit can’t cover this debt!”
The room was full of stunned faces at this revelation. Over $300,000 in interest!
That was a terrifying figure!
It might be manageable for a few months, but who could bear it for five years straight?
The big question was, were the rumors about the Melton family’s financial troubles true?
Their monthly profit was less than $50,000 after all expenses.
And they were still the wealthiest family in Tranquil City!
“So, what do you want me to do?” Grace asked coldly from her bed.
The camera angle only caught Demetrius and his family kneeling on the floor, not Grace’s face. But her voice was clearly filled with annoyance and frustration. She was frustrated with her ungrateful son, who kept bothering her while she was ill. She had made it clear that she wouldn’t help, but Demetrius kept coming back with his wife and daughter, which was quite irritating.
“Mom, don’t you own 30% of the shares? Worth $30 million. I have a suggestion. Hear me out. Sell your shares, keep $10 million for yourself, and give us the remaining $20 million for emergencies. This $20 million could cover our debt for about five years.”
Grace hadn’t expected him to have planned it all out already and gave a cold laugh.
“In five years, I will sell the property and get more money than now. Then I’ll repay you the $20 million. You can keep it or give it to Mirabella. What do you think?”
Grace’s smile turned even colder, “I might be old, but I’m not a fool! If I sell my shares now, will you repay me?”
