S2 55. I’m Not a Criminal

Emily shook her head. Her brows furrowed slightly. “Because of that, I hope the letter is not true. I hope Grandma is a good person who

never breaks the law.”

“But if Grandma did commit a crime, we still have to report her, Emily.

We must not hide crimes.”

Louis’ whisper made Melanie’s blood boil even more. Dropping her fists on the table one more time, she stood up.

“If you don’t want me to get two apartments, fine! There’s no need to accuse me carelessly, let alone threaten me with going to prison. That’s not funny at all, let alone polite!”

A second later, Melanie walked towards the stairs. Her chest was tight, her body was hot. Her footsteps looked unsteady.

“Mom….” Barbara stood up, about to follow her mother. However, before she could take a step, Frank grabbed her arm.

“Let me.”

After nodding his head to Morris, Frank went after Melanie. The others looked at him anxiously.

“Mr. Morris, what is the meaning of this will? How could it corner mother-in-law?” Kara whispered, carefully.

Morris exhaled heavily. His head shook. “Sorry, Mrs. Harper. I wasn’t allowed to check this letter previously. The late Rowan Harper only explained his will up to the fourth letter.”

Louis puffed out his cheeks. “Then what now? Should we call the police?”

“Louis,” Emily elbowed her brother, “the accusation could be wrong. Let’s just wait until Daddy comes back.”

Meanwhile, Frank has just arrived upstairs. He had tried several times to grab Melanie’s arm, but his mother kept pushing him away.

“Stop following me! I know you’ll be happy if I go to jail. All this time, you’ve always thought of me as a burden, right?”

Frank gritted his teeth. He didn’t have much patience anymore. With a firm expression, he turned his mother’s shoulder.

“Aren’t you tired of acting like a victim? That’s enough, Mom. Stop thinking we are enemies.”

Melanie tried to remove Frank’s hand from her shoulder, but failed. The only thing she could do to maintain her prestige was to raise her

chin.

“Are you still not aware? You are the ones who keep cornering me. I just defended myself, but you said I was acting like a victim?”

Frank sighed tiredly. “That is not what I mean. All problems can be resolved if we talk nicely, Mom.”
