"Call the police? Sure, but I don't know if Jean’s case has been closed. But with just 10,000 or 20,000 dollars involved, the police definitely won't take it seriously. That's why they haven't come looking for you since you left. After all, these are minor cases.

"But if you walk right into the station yourself, then who knows what might happen?" Nina said. "If you decide to call the police, go ahead and do it. I'm curious to see if the police will accuse me of."

After that, Nina sized Marie up from head to toe. Despite the scorching weather, Marie was wearing long sleeves. There might be something wrong with her arms.

Nina heard that the illness could cause growths on the skin.

If someone had some medical knowledge, they could easily figure out what was going on.

Marie's expression darkened. Naturally, she dared not to report to the police.

What would she report? Nina's defamation? Yet, a simple check in the hospital's system would reveal that it was not defamation.

Plus, she did not know if Jean had gone to the police to close the case. She was well aware that no police officer had come knocking at her door yet. It was indeed a small case. The police were too busy to keep an eye on Jean all the time.

Reporting now might just be walking into a trap.

Marie stamped her foot and cursed at Nina, "Nina, do you think it's impressive to have snared Percy? Let me tell you, the Mallory family will never acknowledge you. Even if you have married Percy, what then?

"An unrecognized daughter-in-law is as good as nothing. What right do you have to be arrogant? If the family doesn't acknowledge you, no one will support you when Percy gets tired of you.

"When you're abandoned, you'll be nothing more than trash in a ditch. You’ll be worse off than me!"

Then, she sneered again and added, "You're nothing without a man! You'll be abandoned just like I was. You'll be equally wretched and miserable! Heck, you'll get an even worse ending!”

After finishing her words, Marie rolled up her sleeve. "Look. This is me now, and this will be you in the future!"

Nina looked at the bumps on Marie's hands with disgust. Those bumps only appeared when the disease had reached its most severe stage.

To deal with them, one would need medication, ointments, and injections. Otherwise, they could easily break and become infected.
