Chapter 5
Now, a longevity peach symbolizing happiness and longevity, gleaming in gold, appearing at his father-in-law’s funeral hall, was such an irony.
Julia Sanford also came over to chime in: “Come to think of it, Brother Nate, our uncle was in good health, about to celebrate his seventieth birthday, I even bought such a big longevity peach for him, he liked it a lot, how could he suddenly be gone? I think there must be something fishy, I think we should call the police!”
“You beast! How can you say such things!”
“I won’t let you bully sister-in-law!”
Luke Grant still insisted on blocking in front of me.
At the moment he saw the funeral hall, Nate Grant finally began to believe that his father had passed away.
Is this how he repays his deceased father-in-law?
The mother-in-law, already not in good health, angrily walked over with a cane, seeing Nate Grant, she directly struck his head with the cane. Nate casually blocked it, instead pushing the mother-in-law backwards, almost making her fall.
I didn’t want to argue with him, relatives and friends were also there, all watching the spectacle. If things got out of hand, it would bring disgrace to his parents too.
At this moment, he even wiped his eyes, pretending to shed tears.
Nate Grant became even angrier seeing Luke Grant standing in front of me as a protector, adopting the elder brother’s demeanor: “Move aside; it’s none of your business! I’m asking your sister-in-law! Why are you interrupting?”
“Was it you? Was it you who caused dad’s death, didn’t take good care of him?”
Upon hearing this, Nate Grant thought it made sense: “Right, call the police, this wicked woman killed my father, the murderer must be severely punished, we must not let my father’s death be unclear!”
I forcefully pushed his hand away.
How dare you say that: 10u sum have the fact
al way.

dad was fine a few days ago, are you saying you didn’t harm my dad?”
“Don’t go crazy here! Let dad rest in peace!”

“Ridiculous, I’m bullying her? Judging by your intentions, why do I feel like you’re interested in your sister-in-law? Have you two already had something going on!”
“You beast! You’re the one who caused your father’s death! You only cared about having fun and didn’t even care about your father! We called you so many times! Searched for you countless times! Your father was calling your name before he died! You beast! And today you even brought this harlot into our home! I’ll kill you!”
My tears hadn’t even dried yet, and the first thing Nate did after returning home was
to smear me.
I saw Julia Sanford holding a gift box, inside the transparent square box was a golden longevity peach.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
“Brother! What are you doing! You’re scaring sister-in-law! You know sister-in-law has been so busy these past days, she hasn’t even had a bite to eat! She manages
everything at home, can’t even reach you by phone, and then you come back to blame her! What’s wrong with you!”
Nate Grant seemed unwilling to face reality, continuously slandering me, deliberately turning things upside down to divert the focus onto me.
“Hahaha, disgraceful I am, but I think you’re the shameless slut, seducing my brother. No wonder you were so ready to divorce me, you already had a new flame, huh? My brother is younger and more handsome, it’s normal for you to like him, but you can’t harm my dad!”
But there was no sorrow, no shame in Nate Grant’s eyes, instead, he was filled with anger as he ran towards me, grabbing my collar.
I was instantly filled with shame and anger: “What are you saying! Nate, don’t speak nonsense! This is your father’s funeral hall! His body isn’t even cold yet, and as the eldest son, instead of paying respects, you’re saying such disgraceful, shameful things!”
Luke Grant and I hurriedly supported the mother-in-law, while Nate still questioned:
“Mom, what are you doing! Why are you hitting me!”
