Chapter 2
consequently, Jared was incensed when he saw his girlfriend being taken advantage of.
picking up a brick from the ground, he smashed it into Leyton's head.
one didn't need to be a genius to guess the outcome.
considering how powerful Leyton was, he called the police, who arrested Jared.
because of that, Jared was sentenced to 3 years in prison for assault.
after hesitating for a long time, Jared knocked gently on the door.
when the door opened, a hunched-back old lady with a headful of white hair popped her head out. reaching out one hand as if to feel something, she asked,
. . . .
who is it? who's knocking on the door?
the old lady's eyes were closed shut. it could not be more obvious that she was blind.
Jared was stunned the moment he saw her. his eyes widened in shock while his entire body trembled slightly.
he could not believe that the old, wrinkled lady was his mother, Hannah Thompson.
Jared Chance
(how did mom end up in such a state in just 3 year's time?)
Jared Chance
mom, it's me Jared!
called out emotionally as he stepped forward to support her.
Hannah Thompson
Jared? is it really you?
as hannah used her hands to feel Jared's face, tears could not help but roll down her cheeks.
Jared Chance
Mom, it's me. It's really me.
tears were also wailing up in Jared's eyes.
Jared Chance
Mom, what happened to you ?
Jared was baffled as to how his previously healthy mother turned out this way after just 3 short years.
Hannah Thompson
Um, it's a long story. Come in first before we talk.
Hannah pulled Jared into the house.
seeing how their decrepit house was, Jared was shocked beyond belief.
although they were not rich, his father had a steady job. therefore, they previously led a simple yet comfortable life.
Jared Chance
Mom, what happened to our house?
Jared questioned in horror.
Hannah Thompson
After you left. . .
His mother then related everything to him. after Jared was sent to prison, the Scott family didn't look past the matter. instead, they demanded a million in compensation.
Left without a choice, Jared's parents sold the house they bought for his marriage and borrowed a lot of money. even then, it was not enough. finally, they had to pay the last three hundred thousand in installments.
Thus, Jared's father lost his job and could only find work as a street cleaner. as for his mother, she cried all day long until she went blind.
That was also the reason why his parents never visited him.
while listening to his mother, Jared gradually clenched his fist as his eyes glowed with murderous intent.
He had not expected the Scott family to show his family no mercy.
Jared Chance
Mom, did sandy not help you at all?
Jared asked in a puzzle tone.
Jared Chance
(Sandy and I were to be married. furthermore, I was jailed defending her honor. hence, there's no way she can sit idly by and watch my parents end up in this state m, can she?)
Letting it a sigh, Hannah replied,
Hannah Thompson
Let's not bring that up. Not only did the Gibson family ignore us, but they also didn't even return the betrothal gift when I asked for it back. they claimed it wasn't their fault that the wedding fell through because you went to prison. that's why they refused to return it.
Hannah Thompson
when your dad argued with them, he was even beaten for it.
