I scoffed,"Your family's unbelievable—the house I bought before marriage is yours?You think you own the world?"
You think you can dodge debts with your delusions?That's not how the law works!
Lily,silent till now,erupted.

"Mom's kind enough,offering you 2000 dollars.If you were my wife,I'd beat you dead.I'll be a proper lady soon—don't come begging me then!"
Oh,she really thought she’d become rich!
While they were out,I hired movers to clear their rooms,shipping their stuff to their home in the countryside.
I changed the locks and showed the property deed to the guards,banning them from entering my neighborhood.
I filed a lawsuit against Margaret for the $25,000 compensation.
Court papers spooked them.They tried to confront me but were blocked by security.

Margaret called,livid."How shameless,kicking out your mother-in-law and stealing an old woman's pension!Weren't we good to you,giving an orphan a home?"
Family?The ones who let me die or killed me?Funny.
Done with her fake tears,I said,"Margaret,stop preaching family—you know fully well who's the real family.Don't you?"
I hung up.

I donated it to an orphanage.
Her wealth shrank.
With me cutting her off and having to pay me,she hesitated on Lily's plan.The remaining$25,000 wasn't much,but it could make her her life cozy enough in the village.Business was risky.

"Dear Ma’am last night God told me a fortune is coming to you—you're due for riches!"
The kid,with a fake beard,looked serious.
Margaret,chanting prayers,heard Lily's$10,000 loan had already profited$5,000.
Her faith cemented,she saw it as a sure bet.
Used to city life,she dreaded village gossip if they moved back.
She invested everything she had into that so-called “business”.
At first,profits rolled in.
It was a classic Ponzi scheme—small gains to hook you,then poof,money and scammer gone.
Lily,seeing money coming into her account non-stop,credited her mole,posting in her"Mole Diary":
"Some remove lucky moles for vanity—it ruins your fortune.Don't ditch your blessings!"
The photo showed her dripping in designer brands.
