Chapter 79 - Leave My Son Or...
Days went by so fast. It was almost two weeks after the unpleasant incident that happened at Oscar's house. All of the items that Lisa destroyed had been cleaned. Shards and fragments of porcelains were very difficult to clean, especially if they were stuck in between furniture. It took almost a week for Mrs. Rusminah to completely clean it up!
Lisa was still not allowed to work and left without permission, but she had got her cell phone back. At least she could still communicate with Andien or her mother via that cellphone, so she didn't feel bored spending her days staying at home.
That night, Lisa was chatting with Andien via instant message. She was relaxing in the living room with the TV on. Not long after, the doorbell rang. Lisa screamed for Mrs. Rusminah who was busy at the laundry but the middle-aged woman didn't hear her!
Lisa was forced to open the door. When the door was opened, the figure of a tall, blonde-haired middle-aged woman stood in front of her carrying a large parcel.
Lisa was surprised to see that the figure of a mother-in-law who hated her came suddenly with a gift. What had gotten into the old woman's mind that she came back here?
"Greta, why are you here?" Lisa asked curiously.
The woman came into the living room, sat on the sofa, then placed the large parcel on the table. "This is for your child when they're born,"
Lisa went over to the parcel that was placed on the table. She opened the parcel and saw several bottles of milk, diapers, small blankets, baby clothes, and other baby supplies. Lisa was stunned to see the parcel, especially if it was brought by Greta. Lisa wondered for a moment about what made this old woman give her all this?
"Thank you, I guess? You don't have to bother giving this to me actually," Lisa said a little hesitantly.
Greta crossed her legs and chuckled. "No need to thank you!"
The atmosphere in the living room felt very awkward. Mrs. Rusminah saw Greta who was sitting on the sofa and greeted her. She returned to the kitchen again and approached Greta in the living room with a glass of cold water.
Greta grabbed the glass filled with water that Mrs. Rusminah had poured and sipped it slowly. She put the glass back down, grabbed her bag and took out a brown envelope then handed it to Lisa. "This is for you. There's ten million in cash and a check for one hundred million. I think it's enough for you and your child to live later."
Lisa frowned when the European-faced woman handed her a brown envelope. It seemed that this old woman had bad intentions for her.
"What do you mean by giving me this much money?" Lisa asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes as she stared into Greta's blue eyes.
Greta leaned her back against the back of the sofa. Her expression was calm, she exchanged glances with Lisa, staring at her with contempt.
"Oh so you can't see what I mean? This is a provision for you from the Petersson family. After the child is born, I hope you can go away from our family and don't disturb my son's life!"
Lisa's guess was right. She was suspicious since when her mother-in-law had become so kind that she was willing to give a gift and not a small amount of money. Lisa just realized that her mother-in-law intended to get rid of her. From the beginning, Greta never accepted Lisa as her daughter-in-law.
'You idiot, the Petersson family would never accept a girl like you as a family member! You are not from a rich or highly educated family, right?' She thought, as if talking to herself.
Lisa looked down for a moment staring at her stomach which started to swell. She looked up, looked at Greta's dirty face and snapped, "My child doesn't need this money and gifts! Don't you dare to bribe me with these luxurious things!"
Greta smiled slyly, she belittled Lisa's words and laughed at her. "Why kid? Is that too little? How much do you want to ask so that you want to divorce and leave my son after the child is born?"
"My child and I cannot be bought with money! No one, not even the President, can pay me to divorce Oscar! Your money might buy wealth for my child in the future, but separating my child from their father is a very cruel act, Greta! I will never accept a penny from you!"
"Oh don't pretend anymore. Wouldn't a woman like you want to marry Oscar for money? Now your goal of marrying my son has been achieved, right? We give you money that you have never had before. We only want a cheap woman like you to get away from our family!"
In Greta's eyes, a local woman from a lower class family like Lisa wouldn't hesitate to dig and harvest wealth from males. She believed that women like Lisa only wanted wealth and thrones from their families. Knowing this, Greta insisted on kicking Lisa out of the Petersson family.
Lisa growled at Greta's statement. She didn't marry Oscar for money!
"I didn't marry Oscar for money! Your pure son asked me to marry because I had his child! I even try not to ask my own husband for money!"
"You think I'll believe the words coming out of the lips of a low-life like you? Admit it, local women like you only want the property and throne of the Petersson family. Why? Obviously because we are respected and our name is well-known around the world! Even a woman like you doesn't qualify to sit at the door of our house!" Greta got up from the sofa and walked over to Lisa with disgust. The woman puffed out her chest and showed pride in front of Lisa.
"I don't want to accept this money and gifts! Your purpose in giving all this is just to separate me and ruin my marriage with Oscar right!?"
"Well if you don't want to accept money and gifts from us, you better hurry up and divorce my son!" Greta threatened in a rising voice.
Lisa was no longer able to hold back her emotions. She got up from the sofa, clenched her fists tightly and knocked the old woman down. Lisa's eyes look very sharp and piercing.
"How dare you beat me!" Greta snapped, clutching her cheek which turned red from Lisa's hard blow.
"That's what you deserve if you try to bribe me to separate Oscar from me, you old bitch!"
Greta was annoyed by Lisa's harsh words and stared at the woman with a glint of fiery eyes. "You cheap whore! How dare you fight me!"
"Just watch, if you dare to show your nose in front of me again, I will let you feel my fist for the second time!"
Greta lost badly to Lisa. She could not shake Lisa's confidence with the wealth she lured her with. Annoyed at not being able to persuade her daughter-in-law, the golden-haired woman grabbed her bag and ran to the exit.
She slammed the door so hard it caught Mrs. Rusminah's attention while the maid was busy in the kitchen.
Lisa was still silent in the living room, couldn't believe what she had just experienced.
'I didn't expect it, my mother-in-law hated me so much…'
