My Mother in Law and I Went on a Rampage
chapter 1
I accompanied my husband Aaron Moore's mom, Adeline Moore, to an auction. Adeline fancied a diamond necklace, and we finally bought it for 30 million dollars.
The auctioneer signaled us to make the payment. For convenience, Adeline said to charge it directly to her husband Charles Moore's account.
But, I didn't expect that just as she finished speaking, two women dressed in expensive clothes and covered in jewelry suddenly appeared. The young woman, Bella Smith, grabbed Adeline's arm, while the middle-aged woman, Amelia Walker, directly slapped Adeline.
Amelia gritted her teeth and said, "I knew something was off long ago. You shameless old woman, ruining my family and seducing my husband. You won't end well."
I quickly shielded Adeline and asked her, "Adeline, are you okay?"
Hearing my words, Amelia's sharp gaze immediately shifted to me. "Adeline is so shameless, desperately flattering rich people. Don't you feel embarrassed for her at all?"
I quickly stood in front of Adeline, stating that I am Aaron's wife, and questioned who the other person was.
But Amelia said coldly and arrogantly, "Who am I? I am the legal wife of the richest man, Charles, the wife he officially married."
She gave me a contemptuous glance and continued, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to question my identity?"
Before I could speak, Amelia directly took out her phone and made a call. "Aaron, my dear son, hurry to the auction and help me catch the woman your father is seeing outside."
I wondered, "Isn't Aaron my husband? When did he get another mother outside?"
After hanging up, Amelia gave us a provocative smile and directly pushed Adeline onto the auction stage.
I wanted to chase after her, but Bella stopped me.
She gritted her teeth and asked me, "Who did you just say you are?"
Sensing her malice, I instinctively stepped back, but that only gave her a chance to make a move.
Bella grabbed my arm and said, "Let me tell you, I'm already engaged to Aaron. He's my man."
At the same time, Amelia on stage grabbed the auctioneer's microphone. Her sharp voice instantly echoed throughout the auction hall.
She told everyone, "Remember this homewrecker's face."
As Amelia spoke, her right hand kept slapping Adeline's cheek. She asked Adeline, "Does seducing someone else's husband feel good?"
"In public, with me, his lawful wife, present, how dare you casually mention my husband's name?"
"Did you think you wouldn't be found out?"
Seeing Adeline's pale face, I felt extremely anxious. I broke free from Bella and ran onto the stage to shield Adeline behind me.
I asked Adeline, "Adeline, are you okay?"
Adeline gently shook her head and said, "Victoria, how could this happen?" Victoria Hernandez is my name.
She continued, "How could I be the other woman?"
Seeing her emotions grow more intense and her breathing become rapid, I didn't dare delay and immediately took out a quick-acting heart reliever from my bag and gave it to her.
I said to her, "Adeline, there must be some misunderstanding."
Charles and Adeline grew up together, and after getting married, their relationship has always been great. They respect each other and have never argued.
Amelia heard what I said, and her face twisted with anger.
She said, "Misunderstanding? I caught you both red-handed, and you still dare to call it a misunderstanding?"
While comforting Adeline, I forced myself to stay calm. I said to Amelia, "You claim to be Charles's wife. Do you have any proof?"
As I spoke, I lifted Adeline's right hand. A massive pink diamond ring sparkled brilliantly under the light.
I continued, "I believe everyone here recognizes this diamond ring, right?"
"This was personally made by Charles for his wife. There's only one in the entire world."
"This is enough to prove our identity."
Adeline was a premature baby and the youngest in the family, so she grew up being spoiled by everyone.
Because she had a heart condition and couldn't handle the stress of a grand wedding, plus she didn't like meeting strangers, they only invited a few close friends when they got married.
The outside world only knew that Charles had someone he loved, but no one had ever seen Adeline herself.
I thought things would end there, but Amelia suddenly went crazy and yanked the ring off Adeline's hand.
She said fiercely, "This is a token of love between Charles and me. Where did you get it?"
After a few seconds of thought, Amelia pretended to suddenly understand and said, "Well, you're not just a mistress, you're also a thief."
As she spoke, she directly put the ring on her ring finger and proudly showed it off to everyone. "I lost this ring a while ago. I thought I'd never get it back."
"But I never expected..."
She deliberately left the rest unsaid, causing everyone present to point at us and talk with disgust.
Someone said, "His real wife has already come forward, yet this woman still won't admit it."
Another person said, "Yeah, look at how this woman is trembling. She must know her identity is fake."
I frowned tightly, took out my phone to call the police, but Bella snatched it away. She raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Looking for backup?"
Amelia took the opportunity to push me to the ground, causing Adeline to fall as well.
She looked down at us and asked, "Do you have any other evidence to prove your identity?"
Seeing us remain silent, she revealed a triumphant smile. "You don't, but I do."
Then, under everyone's puzzled gazes, Amelia calmly took out a black and gold bank card.
She said, "This is Charles's exclusive bank card. I think this is enough to prove my identity."
I immediately retorted, "Impossible. This card must be fake."
