Sofia stepped out from behind Darius, her eyes red and tearful, looking at me.
Her tone was pitiful when she apologized, “I’m so sorry, Ms. Avery. I didn’t want this to happen either, but Darius insisted I sign. I’ll work hard and take on ten jobs so that I’ll definitely pay you back.”
Before I could say anything, Darius felt sorry for her.
He wrapped his arms around Sofia in front of me and said, “Your health has always been poor; there’s no rush about the money.”
The scene before me was extremely painful to watch and I struggled to maintain my composure.
This matter should be resolved that day. I had spent so much money; I did not want to be taken advantage of.
Since my reason wasn’t getting through to them, I had no choice but to call the police.
Seeing that I was really calling the police, Darius’s mother, who had been hiding in the corner, finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
She rushed forward and snatched the phone out of my hand.
“It’s just a house. Why call the police? Shawna, you’re the daughter-in-law Allison Family has chosen. Don’t let such a small matter ruin our relationship.”
