[Sarah, it looks like we have to step in and kick Derrick’s family out) Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

This morning, I received a text from Carrie while I was getting ready to head to the office, so I had to pause for a moment,

Me: Yea, I really want to kick them out myself. When are those debt collectors heading there again?

Carrie: Today,

Me: Alright. Let’s meet up there then. Bring all the important documents.

Carrie: Got it, boss,

While waiting for Joshua in the lobby, I messaged Bradley that I’d only be coming into the office in the afternoon.

“We’re not going to the office. We’re heading to Gillian’s grandma’s house.”

“Got it, Ma’am,” Joshua replied,

The car headed towards Derrick’s house. It did not take long for us to arrive.

“We’ll park here for now,” I said to Joshua as the car stopped a few meters away from Derrick’s house.

Carrie’s car was parked up front. She and some debt collectors must be there now. I had better wait for a while before following her inside.

It was only 7 a.m.. So Derrick was likely at home this time since he would usually go to the office in the afternoon.

“Let’s go in!” I said to Joshua. They looked surprised when my car entered the driveway, I saw their tense faces as I stepped out of the car.

“Good morning, Sarah,” Carrie greeted along with the burly debt collectors, nodding slightly.

“Morning.”

The four of them at the house looked puzzled. Lorraine was already dressed for work, while Derrick and Kendall were still in their pajamas with bed hair.

I wondered what was going through their minds right now. The family was in trouble, yet this cheating couple still had the luxury of enjoying their sleep and waking up late.

“How’s it going, Derrick? Did you get the ten thousand yet?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.

“What’s this about, Sarah? Why are you here? Wasn’t it supposed to be the boss of these debt collectors coming?” Derrick asked, puzzled.

Kendall who was next to Derrick, folded her arms and looked at me cynically.

“Yeah. Just as I promised yesterday, I’m the one kicking you guys out!” I replied.

They looked shocked.

“What’s your relationship with them?” Lorraine asked, pointing at Carrie and the debt collectors.

“Hey Lorraine, how are you doing today? How does it feel to be cheated on by your husband, huh? It must hurt, right?” I taunted her.

“Mind your own business!” she snapped back.

“Oh really? Then hurry up and repay the ten thousand dollars!” I retorted, hands on my hips, facing Lorraine.

They looked worried. Perhaps they had a lot of questions they were dying to ask.

“Why? You can’t afford to pay? Hahaha!” I laughed seeing their panicked faces. “What’s your problem, Sarah? Just because you’re rich now, you think you can insult us however you want?” Lorraine chided me.

I mocked, “People say the rich can do whatever they want, but you guys are just poor people pretending to be rich. That’s why you’re getting poorer. Hahaha!”

“That’s enough! What are you really here for? Did you change your mind about Hending us the money?” Derrick asked softly.

“Don’t even dream about it, Derrick. You’re really shameless! Carrie, explain it to

them now.” I ordered.

Carrie took out the original house deed. She then showed them the name of the rightful owner listed on it.

The four heartless and shameless people were stunned to see my name listed on the certificate as the legitimate owner of the land and the house they currently occupied.

*Sarah… would you really do this to us?” Lorraine’s voice trembled. Her tone was very different from when she was scolding me earlier.

I ignored her and turned to Ruth, “I’m sorry, Mom. This is nothing compared to how my only child’s happiness was destroyed. I’ve had to endure eight years of ill–treatment during the time I lived here. I was even chased out of the house several times just because I was a mere daughter–in–law, and regarded as a freeloader.”

They all stayed silent for some time.

Did they regret their past actions? Ah, probably not. Perhaps they did not believe me? Or… maybe they were thinking about where they would live after this.

Well, I didn’t really care.

“So you’re going to kick us out? What about us then? Where will we live?” Ruth pleaded. The middle–aged woman slowly stood up and approached her children.

“Why didn’t you ask for help from your beloved future daughter–in–law? She’s supposed to be good at everything,” I glanced at Kendall who had been silent the whole time.

“Kendall and Derrick! Where are we going to live? All of this because of your husband, Lorraine!” Ruth pointed accusingly at Lorraine. She started getting emotional and panicky.

Lorraine just stayed silent, bowing her head without answering.

“Please, give us more time,” Derrick begged me.

“Unfortunately, you don’t deserve a second chance. Pack up and leave!” I

ordered

“Carrie, make sure they leave today?”

“Got it, boss.”

I then stepped back into the car,

“Sarah! Please give us some time, I beg you…”

Derrick tried to follow me into the car. But one of the debt collectors Crue her hired managed to stop him.

“Let’s go to the office now.”

Joshua nodded. As the car drove out, I saw many neighbors standing near the gate. It seemed like they were very curious about the commotion surrounding the house,

They looked stunned as I smiled and waved at them.

Deep down, I never wanted to treat others unfairly like this. But I wanted them to regret their past actions,

I especially wanted to punish Derrick. The wound he had inflicted was so deep. It made me traumatized to trust men again,

Derrick hadn’t just betrayed me once or twice. Back then, I was so easily fooled. All because I trusted him completely. At the same time, I was too preoccupied with my property business with Carrie,

I had once planned to surprise Derrick by buying us a luxurious house, Thankfully, that didn’t happen. It must have been God’s grace for me to find out about the affair through Derrick’s profile picture,

The truth would finally come to light no matter how smart he was at hiding it, Even without me investigating, his heinous deeds were exposed,

Oh Derrick, now you’d feel the suffering because of your own actions, I did not snatch the house but obtained it legally, as you could not pay the mortgage,

Hopefully they would become better people. Would they, really? Or would they just hold a grudge against me? Only time would tell after Gillian and I return to
