To Melissa, this meal was like a nightmare. She forced herself to smile the whole time and felt like she was a fool who was at Huo Culver’s mercy.
Five minutes later, an unusually difficult dinner was finally over.
After this meal, Brucille knew that his father-in-law’s comrade-in-arms, Li Kangli, was a business boss and a family friend of Huo Culver’s father.
However, Huo Culver and Melissa actually became so-called good friends. Before he left, Huo Culver pushed Melissa who was sitting in a wheelchair and said, “Melissa, when I’m done with my work these few days, I’ll have a meal with you.”
Melissa still forced a smile. “Okay!”
After the family sent away Li Kangli and Huo Culver, Tyrion was in a good mood and said to his son-in-law, “Old Li is a straightforward person, and he is the boss of a big business. Just now he said that if you have any needs in business, you can ask him.”
“Okay, dad, I know. It’s getting late and you’ve drunk too much tonight. You’d better go to bed early.”
“Okay, haha!”
Unlike Tyrion’s joy, Melissa looked at her sister and brother-in-law in despair. She said, “Huo Culver has come to our house. What should we do now?”
Monique did not know what to do. She looked at her man, and from that night, Brucille had completely become her only man.
Looking at the two sisters’ expectant eyes, Brucille said, “It is not as complicated as you think. Huo Culver is only a supporting role today. He wants to get some benefits from us. As for what benefits, I will talk to him. As long as the conditions are suitable, I can agree with him.”
Melissa was downcast. “This guy is simply a pervert. Can’t you feel it? Anyway, I can’t let my parents know what I have done before. Otherwise, it’s no different from letting me die.”
Monique comforted her, “Sister, I think he’s right. Let him talk to Huo Culver tomorrow.”
Brucille carried Melissa back to her room to rest, and then acupunctured her in front of his wife. After many treatment from Brucille, there was no muscle atrophy in her legs. According to Brucille’s observation, he estimated that things were getting better.
After that, he went back to his room and lay in bed, recalling Huo Culver’s performance tonight. Li Kangli and his father-in-law gave him a chance to sneak into the Ching family.
It was hard to guarantee that this would happen a second time. As long as this secret was not revealed, as long as parents-in-law did not know that their daughter had killed someone, he had a reason to appear in this family.
However, Brucille would not give him more chances to enter the Ching family. It was definitely not a good thing to provoke Melissa again and again.
With Monique by her sister’s side, she was greatly agitated tonight.
At this time, Melissa was extremely desperate. More and more people knew the secrets of killing her. She felt like a contemptible scoundrel who was stealing the bell.
She looked helplessly at her sister, tightly grabbed her hand and asked, “Monique, in ancient times, it’s justified and reasonable for a person to die for a life. Our methods are very strict, but can I be considered to have killed on purpose?”
“It’s not as serious as you said. I’ve already asked the relevant lawyer and judged from the situation at that time that you killed her by accident. Besides, that woman had the desire to make mistakes actively. From this point of view, it’s good for you. You won’t be sentenced too heavily…”
Monique said this out of her sisterhood. But when Melissa heard the news, she was very shocked. Her sister had secretly asked a lawyer. Did he want to send her to prison?
She sat up on the bed and looked incredulously at Monique. The expression on her face made Monique feel cold, as if she was about to be eaten.
“Monique, you didn’t tell me that your sister had been killed, did you? Did you hire the best lawyer in the world to be my judge? Are you going to send your sister to prison and send her to the guillotine?”
“Sister, what are you talking about? I just want to say that this matter is not as serious as you think. As long as we hire the best lawyer to make it clear, it will be no more than three years.”
“Three years? How many three years is my life? I have already wasted three years. You intend to send me to prison for three years. Will I still be here? I will be a murderer and will be the shame of following me for the rest of my life.”
The more she said, the more excited she became. At this time, she only felt that her younger sister wanted to send her to prison. She threw the quilt and pillow on the ground and shouted, “Go, go…”
Her voice was not loud, but Monique felt that her sister was extremely angry at this time, so she had to leave.
She went downstairs to see Aunt Xu and hoped that she could go upstairs to handle it.
Aunt Xu, who had already fallen asleep, walked into the room and found that the quilts and pillows on the bed were all thrown to the ground, and even Melissa was sitting on the floor.
“Mengxue, what’s wrong?”
“Get out, get out, get out of here…”
Aunt Xu realized that she was not Melissa’s medicine. She looked down at Monique and her husband in despair.
“Unordinary, Monique, you won’t let me get close to you. Everything was fine during dinner tonight. What’s going on?”
Monique could only say with a dark face, “Go, tell her not to make trouble. Mom and Dad are already asleep.”
Brucille let out a long sigh. Who would come out at this time?
She came to the room in her slippers, slapped the bedding on the floor, and threw it back on the bed. She reached out to hold Melissa, but Melissa grabbed her arm and bit it with her white teeth.
Brucille endured the intense pain and gnashed his teeth as he put her back on the bed.
Only then did Melissa let go of him. After taking a bite, she might release her anger. She said in a low voice, “Are you very capable? Find a way to kill him and let him disappear from the world, okay?”
“Okay, but God knows if anyone else will know. Do you want me to kill them all? It’s just like killing a group of Whac-Mole. Can I kill them all?”
“I don’t care whether you believe it or not. The whole family is already in chaos because of you. It’s natural for you to go back to your parents’ home after you get married. I have no complaints about your sister taking care of you. But if you kill someone now, we need time to deal with this matter. If we kill Huo Culver rashly, it will only cause more trouble.”
Brucille didn’t spoil her like before. If she didn’t restrain her emotions, his father-in-law would see it sooner or later. He didn’t know who would personally send her in at that time.
At this time, Melissa was as stubborn as a child. She put the quilt over her body and fell asleep with her face on the other side, with tears flowing into the snow-white pillow at the corner of her eyes.
