Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 119

Chapter 119

Heather had never witnessed such a scene before. "What are you doing? This is trespassing. It's illegal."

Heather rushed forward and reached out to tear down the seals, but Scott quickly stopped her. "Mom, tearing them down won't help. They're from the court, Dad and Harry used the house as collateral for a loan, and today's the deadline" "Please don't interfere with our work, one of the officers said, showing his badge. This is the court ruling and the enforcement notice. We hope you can cooperate."

Heather was dumbfounded. She stared at the two notices handed to her, unable to make sense of them. For years, Owen had handled everything outside the house. She had always lived a pampered life, never facing anything like this. Harry was still in the police station, and Nathan's phone couldn't be reached.

"Scott, what do we do now? Your father's still in the hospital." Heather's voice trembled with desperation.

Scott, a high school student, barely knew what to do himself. The only thing he could think of was to try and reason with the officers. "Can we at least go inside and grab a few things?"

The officer replied, "Sorry, you're not allowed to take anything except some clothes and important documents. Anything worth over 600 dollars cannot be removed.

"Is there no justice anymore? We bought those things. Why can't we take them?" Overwhelmed with emotion, Heather tore down more of the seals in anger.

"If you continue to obstruct our work, we have the right to take you to the police station," the officer wamed firmly.

"Mom, please stop. Let's just pack a few clothes, and we'll find a way to solve the problems later. Scott entered the house, which once was warm, but now seemed cold and empty. Seals were even pasted on the sofas and tables.

Upstairs, officers were sealing each room. Scott kept his head down, trying to manage his emotions while keeping his frantic mother under control.

Heather gazed at her jewelry and handbags, realizing she couldn't even take a single bag, and as for her clothes, she could only bring the cheapest ones.

After they packed up and headed downstairs, the maid, the nanny, and the driver were all waiting with their bags packed. "Mrs. Hastings, Mr. Scott, you still haven't paid us our wages, one of them reminded.

Heather snapped, glaring at them. She thought, 'I have always treated them well, and now they have the nerve to ask for money at a time like this?" "That's not fair. We've worked the whole year, and it's almost the holidays. You can't expect
