Chapter 3
I was completely frozen in place.
The name Jenny that she mentioned happened to be the same name as the daughter of one of the house workers in my family.
If she had ever read local news, she should also know that the richest person in Honolulu was the Evans family.
Just as I was confused and couldn't understand how my future mother-in-law could make such a big mistake.
Karen rudely pulled my hand and exerted all her strength to pull off the engagement ring, which was as big as a pigeon egg, from my ring finger.
"The diamond ring looks real. I guess this shameless mistress must have stolen it from my daughter-in-law!
No wonder my daughter-in-law told me that she just spent 10 million on a diamond ring, and it mysteriously disappeared. It turns out it was stolen by this bitch!"
The onlookers who followed Karen also started to judge me.
"She is so shameless."
"Her own mother is just a house worker, and she dares to steal things from the owner. She is really ill-educated!"
"She is really shameless and canny!"
They were talking more and more excitedly.
I finally turned cold.
"I am shameless? Then what kind of people you are to be so judgmental?"
I retorted one by one, and finally my gaze fell on my future mother-in-law, Karen.
I carefully looked at her appearance, and her face was full of meanness, which was the type that my mother hated the most.
My mother originally disagreed with my engagement to Charles, thinking that I wouldn't stoop to this level.
But because Charles was hardworking and honest, and I had decided that he was the one for me, my mother reluctantly agreed.
But at this moment, I regretted not investigating his family background beforehand. His mother turned out to be so mean and impudent.
Just as I was about to call the police, Karen suddenly pulled out a stack of photos from her pocket.
She displayed them one by one in front of the live camera.
"Look, this is my daughter-in-law!
The clothes she's wearing are all limited edition custom-made by designers, and even a random handbag is worth millions or even billions!
With such extravagant spending, how could she be compared to this bitch in front of us?"
I caught a glimpse of the woman in the photo from the corner of my eye, and she turned out to be Jenny, the daughter of the house worker.
The clothes on her were the limited edition ones that I kept in my wardrobe.
That bag was clearly the 18th birthday gift my mother gave me.
In the photo, it was worn by Jenny with a false air of importance, posing in front of the camera.
Karen turned her head with a face of disgust and mockery, staring at the dress I was wearing, and without hesitation, she rushed over and tore at it.
"Even this dress might have been stolen from my daughter-in-law. Take it off quickly!"

I desperately shook off Karen's rough actions.
She couldn't stop me alone, so she quickly called the neighbors around for help.
"Come and help me hold down this mistress!
Today, I must take off my daughter-in-law's dress from her body!
You immoral bitch, today I will make you lose face and embarrass you in the live broadcast!"
The crisp sound of the dress being torn rang in my ears. They pushed and shoved, and someone even took the opportunity to touch my chest.
I was completely angry.
"What are you two bodyguards looking at? Come over here!"
Because I wanted to personally arrange the engagement hall, I arrived at the scene an hour early, only bringing two bodyguards to assist.
The two bodyguards were stunned, and rushed over when they heard me shout, pulling the crowd apart.
And the dress on me had been torn to pieces.
I gave a cold smile and looked sharply at Karen.
"I respect you as an elder, and have repeatedly made concessions for you, but that doesn't mean you can insult me at will!
This dress is worth millions, and the headpiece that was just smashed ,and the engagement ring you threw into the trash can, with a total value of over 100 million.
And it's money of our Evans family. Tell me, will you compensate or your son?"
Karen showed contempt and mockery on her face. She aimed the live broadcast camera at my face, wanting to deliberately expose my ugly side.
"Look at this mistress, she's still talking big at this time! She even said it was worth over 100 million. What a big joke!"
Her mother has been a house worker her whole life. Even if they sell their house and everything, it's not worth 100 million!"
The onlookers around heard that they had to pay my loss, and they all stepped back a few steps, fearing that they would be implicated.
Karen smiled proudly and said,
"You don't have to be afraid at all. Even if we have to pay back, it's no big deal. My daughter-in-law's family is the richest! The compensation is completely insignificant!
Moreover, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. Even if our family doesn't give a penny of dowry, their money will be ours in the future!"
At this point, I could really see their ugly faces.
I even started to suspect Charles. With such a mother behind him, his intense pursuit of me might really be for my money.
I coldly took out my phone and dialed Charles's number.
"Charles, your mother personally came to cause trouble at the engagement hall. She even said your wife is pregnant. Is it true?"

"Nina, are you okay? Wait for me. I'll come right over!"
Charles's anxious voice came intermittently from the phone.
Before he could finish speaking, someone snatched my phone and threw it on the ground, breaking it in half.
What came into my view was Karen's malicious face.
She slapped me again.
"Now you finally admit that you're the mistress! Knowing that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, you still deliberately came to the engagement ceremony, pretending to be her and provoking her. You deserve to die!"
"Hurry up and give me a thumbs up. We're going to get serious now and give this bitch a good lesson!"
The live stream room was immediately flooded with more viewers, who joined in the hot discussion.
The atmosphere on the scene was completely incited by Karen, who acted as if she was a judge, punching and kicking me.
Seeing this, two bodyguards immediately stepped forward to protect me.
"Who are you? How dare you hit our Miss Evans!"
Karen not only showed no fear, but instead became even more ruthless.
"Are you hired by this mistress to act?
My daughter-in-law is the daughter of the richest family, and she has more than a dozen bodyguards following her wherever she goes. It's not like you two poor losers.
Be sensible and get out of the way. Don't try to stop us from teaching the mistress a lesson!"
Those two bodyguards gritted their teeth and protected me, but they couldn't withstand the crowd that surged like a tide.
The two bodyguards were also trapped by them. Karen held a long and thick stick in her hand, grinning as she smashed it onto my stomach.
"You shameless thing, how dare you use seductive tricks to seduce my son, trying to ruin the relationship between him and my daughter-in-law! Dream on!
You'll definitely pay the price for what you've done before!"
Ten minutes later, I was covered in blood, lying numb on the ground.
Every part of my body was all burning with intense pain.
Someone got scared and asked quietly.
"Karen, did we hit her too hard?"
"Although she is the daughter of a house worker, she will die if we continue hitting her!"
Karen snorted.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I am teaching her a lesson for my daughter-in-law. Anyway, her family is the richest. They have money. Even if she dies, it doesn't matter!"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone outside the hotel entrance cheered.
"Look!"
"The richest man is here! His wife looks so young. The girl next to them has a baby bump. Could she be their daughter?"
Karen was immediately excited.
She nervously straightened her clothes.
"Great, I can finally meet my rich in-laws and daughter-in-law..."
