Chapter 132: Chapter 132: 100,000 Netizens Witness Together

When Fortune Blossom saw the injuries on her daughter, her heart nearly broke.

Her eyes reddened, but she fought back the tears, refusing to let them fall.

"See for yourself!" she roared, glaring at Mrs. Wright. "This is what your precious son did! He said he would cherish Lily, is this how he cherishes her?"

"Oh my, what happened to Lily?" Mrs. Wright feigned surprise. "How did you end up like this? You’re so clumsy!"

"Stop pretending!" Fortune Blossom was disgusted by her attitude. "Your son is an abuser. There’s no way you don’t know!"

Mrs. Wright’s face darkened as she retorted, "Nonsense! Terence is so gentle, he wouldn’t even step on an ant. How could he possibly be abusive?!"

"If he’s not abusive, then who gave Lily all these injuries?" Fortune Blossom demanded sharply.

Mrs. Wright’s eyes darted away for a second. "How should I know? Maybe Lily did it to herself!"

Hearing Mrs. Wright’s words, Renee Jennings’s slender eyebrows knitted together.

’Damn it, this mother-in-law is disgusting!’

’It takes a mother-in-law like this to raise an abuser!’

’This is infuriating!’

The slider in the terrarium chimed in, "So shameless! This turtle wants to bite her!"

Blueberry, who usually didn’t get along with him, let out a rare meow of agreement. "Bite her!"

Lily stared at her mother-in-law in disbelief.

"Mom, how can you say that? You know perfectly well that Terence hits me! You even told me it was because Terence was under too much stress from work and needed to blow off steam... You said Dad used to hit you like this too, and that if you just endured it, it would pass!"

"You!" Mrs. Wright’s eyes flickered as she tried to defend him. "Terence is a good boy. He wouldn’t hit someone for no reason. Lily, you must have done something wrong."

"You..." Fortune Blossom was furious. She struggled to suppress her rage. "So you admit that Terence Woods is the one who caused all the injuries on Lily!"

Mrs. Wright wore a nonchalant expression. "Isn’t it normal for a man to come home and hit his wife when he’s stressed?"

’Good lord, I can’t believe I’m hearing this kind of talk in the 21st century. I’m speechless.’

’Is she out of her mind? Saying it’s normal to beat your wife???’

’I could just kill her!’

"Are you insane?" Fortune Blossom looked aghast. "How can you even say something like that? Domestic abuse is a crime!"

"What crime?" Mrs. Wright said, her face grim. "It’s not that serious."

"What a family of freaks!" Fortune Blossom felt the other woman was completely unreasonable. She turned to Lily and said, "Don’t be afraid, sweetie. Mom’s taking you home."

She started to leave with Lily but was blocked by Mrs. Wright. "You can go, but Lily stays. She’s the Wright family’s daughter-in-law now."

"A daughter-in-law she’d be better off not being!" Fortune Blossom sneered. "We’re getting a divorce!"

"No!" Mrs. Wright refused. "Once you marry into the Wright family, you do as we say. If there’s a divorce, it’ll be when our Terence gets tired of Lily and doesn’t want her anymore. Only then can they divorce."

’Holy shit, this is beyond ridiculous!’

’Marrying into a family like this is terrifying.’

’This has to be hell... I hope no girl ever has to go through this!’

Fortune Blossom looked as if she’d heard the world’s biggest joke. "Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are? This is a society of laws. Getting married was Lily’s right, and so is getting divorced!"

She took Lily’s hand to leave, but Mrs. Wright blocked the doorway. "You’re not going anywhere!"

If she let Lily walk out of this house, Terence would definitely be angry when he got back.

"Get out of my way!" Fortune Blossom was furious. "I never imagined you were this kind of people!"

Mrs. Wright retorted indignantly, "I don’t care what you think. Lily is not leaving today, and that’s final!"

"We want to leave. Do you really think you can stop us?" Fortune Blossom sneered.

Mrs. Wright pointed a finger at Lily. "She’s covered in injuries. The slightest touch hurts her. Go ahead, if you don’t care about your daughter’s pain."

’So shameless!’

’Sisters, remember this face. If you see her on the street, everyone gives her a good slap.’

Of course Fortune Blossom cared about Lily’s pain.

She was her daughter. Of course she cared.

Seeing the situation, Lily quickly said, "Mom, it’s okay. I can bear it."

"Feeling the pain now?" Mrs. Wright laughed. "Good. That’s how it should be. Just leave Lily here obediently. She’s the Wright family’s daughter-in-law, and she’s not going anywhere!"

Fortune Blossom led Lily to the vanity and sat her down, soothing her in a soft voice, "Don’t worry. Mom has already made arrangements."

Seeing that they weren’t struggling, Mrs. Wright grew even more smug. "That’s right. Don’t even think about defying us."

She leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed. "My Terence just gets a little short-tempered when he drinks, but the bigger a man’s temper, the greater his ability. Marrying our Terence was the best luck you could have hoped for in this lifetime."

Fortune Blossom couldn’t stand to hear anymore. "Shut up!" she snapped.

She was calculating the time. The people she had arranged for should be arriving soon.

"My dear in-law, you’d better be more polite to me. Your daughter married my son, which means she has to live by the look on my face. Being fierce with me won’t do your daughter any good!" This was a blatant threat from Mrs. Wright.

Just then, a group of people suddenly flooded in from outside. The ones in the lead looked somewhat familiar, followed by several burly men in black suits and two doctors in white coats.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Wright jumped in fright.

"Who are we?" The middle-aged man in the lead said with a grim face, his voice laced with anger. "You’ve been bullying my niece. I suppose we do need to get acquainted."

Lily choked out, "First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle!"

Her first uncle looked at her with a pained expression. "Don’t cry, Lily. Your uncles are here to back you up!"

Seeing so many people, Mrs. Wright was instantly intimidated. She gave a dry laugh. "Oh, so it’s the uncles! This is all a misunderstanding. How could we possibly bully Lily? We can’t even dote on her enough!"

’Look how fast her expression changed. No wonder Terence Woods is such a good actor! He must have inherited it!’

’She’s just a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Ma’am, go get her!’

"That’s not what you were saying a moment ago!" Fortune Blossom’s face was full of disgust. "You’ve really opened my eyes today!"

She held up her phone, its screen on, and stared at Mrs. Wright with loathing. "I’m connected to a major streamer. Everything we’ve been saying has been broadcast live."

Fortune Blossom glanced at the viewer count in the top-right corner and announced, "One hundred thousand viewers have just witnessed the shamelessness of the Wright family!"

"What’s a ’live broadcast’?" Mrs. Wright didn’t understand. "Are you trying to scare me?"

"No more wasting words on her. Let’s go." Fortune Blossom’s goal had been achieved. Mrs. Wright had just admitted on camera, in front of a hundred thousand viewers, that her son was an abuser. All of this could be used as strong evidence in the divorce proceedings!

With Lily’s three uncles and the bodyguards Fortune Blossom had hired as an escort, the cowardly Mrs. Wright—who bullied the weak and feared the strong—didn’t dare to stop them. She could only take out her phone to tell her son what had happened.

Fortune Blossom helped Lily into the car.

After getting her daughter’s consent, she posted Terence Woods’s photo in the live stream chat.
