Ignoring Frank, I immediately picked up our child and headed downstairs, but Lily suddenly appeared at the front door.
She had changed into a French maid outfit that accentuated her curves.
She was proudly wielding a broom in front of me.
The floor was indeed spotlessly clean.
My mother–in–law was very satisfied with this sight and immediately clapped her hands in praise:
“Lily is indeed beautiful and hardworking, unlike some women who don’t even know how
to use a mop.”
Lily gave Frank a flirtatious look and smiled shyly:
“I just have a bit of OCD and always want to keep the house spotless, so the person I love
can live comfortably.”
Seeing her blocking the way, I pushed past her without changing my expression.
“Excuse me, good dogs don’t block the road.”
After all, some people who have been on their knees for too long find it hard to stand up straight.
Seeing my harsh tone, my mother–in–law immediately showed her displeasure on her face.
“Amber, look at how Lily has been cleaning since early morning, sweating profusely. You don’t even thank her for sharing the housework and you keep humiliating her. You’re really a disgrace to us women!”
Hearing this, I sneered:
“She hasn’t paid me any rent or food expenses, and you expect me to be grateful just

“She hasn’t paid me any rent or food expenses, and you expect me to be grateful just because she swept the floor? Is it your brain that’s not working properly, or have I gone crazy?”
As soon as I finished speaking, Lily’s tears dropped to the ground with a plop.
“I’m sorry… It’s just my bad luck that my husband… Frank, I should leave. I don’t want to cause misunderstandings with your wife.”
Seeing Lily crying inconsolably, Frank immediately became furious:
“That’s enough! Amber!”
I rolled my eyes and shouted back:
“Enough of what? This is just the beginning! I’m not the one who asked her to come to my house to sweep and do housework!”
As soon as I finished speaking, my father–in–law suddenly rushed over and snatched the broom, throwing it to the ground:
“What are you all arguing about!”
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
At this point, those three stood in a row, eyeing me – the outsider – like tigers watching
their prey.
From the moment Lily entered the house until now, they didn’t intervene when my mother–in–law was sarcastic towards me, nor when Frank yelled at me. But as soon as I
raised my voice a little, they stepped in to stop me.
When we got married, I gave Frank a car and a house as a dowry.
My in–laws had repeatedly assured me that if Frank ever mistreated me, they would definitely teach him a lesson.
They even told me to treat their home as my own and do whatever I wanted.

Iney even told me to treat their nome as my own and do wnatever I wanted.
But now, if you didn’t know better, you’d think they were a family of four!
I snorted coldly, planning to send my daughter away first before dealing with this.
Unexpectedly, Lily suddenly fell to her knees in front of me and said:

*Amber, please don’t blame Mrs. Foster and Frank. If you must blame someone, blame
- me. It’s all my fault. If I wasn’t at my wit’s end, I would never have come to Frank’s house.”
*I’ll take my child and leave now. We can sleep under a bridge if we have to. I don’t want
to cause any more fights in your family.”
Lily staggered to her feet, saying she would leave, but her body honestly leaned towards
Frank.
Frank made no effort to hide it, directly hugging her tightly from behind.
*Amber, I really misjudged you. I’ve already said that Lily is just temporarily staying here
with her child. You still want to drive them out to live on the streets? You’re a mother
yourself, how can you not have any sympathy for them?”
“If you want to vent your anger, vent it on me. What’s the point of bullying a widow and orphan?”
Lily nestled in Frank’s arms with her back to him, her eyes full of undisguised triumph.
Heh, Frank still hadn’t figured out who really couldn’t tolerate whom.
My father–in–law chimed in:
“Argue, argue, argue. You’ve been arguing non–stop since moving into the new house. You’ll scare away the God of Wealth at this rate!”
Looking at the strangely united family in front of me, I couldn’t help but wonder if they would still be standing together so calmly without the $5 million I had won.
