Part 1The Two-Faced Sister-in-Law Who Almost Destroyed My Family

My two-faced sister-in-law manipulated my brother to steal my property.

She even used her unborn child as a threat, saying if she didn't get the house, she'd have an abortion.

My brother kept telling me to give in for the sake of the child.

Why should I? You're just an adopted son!

My brother got a girl pregnant out of wedlock. She's already three months along, and the girl is crying and making a fuss, so they have no choice but to prepare for the wedding.

My brother, Jasper Blackwood, is a not-so-bright playboy, at least that's what I've always thought.

To maintain good relations, I brought some local specialties and fruits for my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Jade, when I returned from a business trip.

I had originally planned to buy her a handbag, but my mom said she would take us both to get custom-made bags when she returned. If I really wanted to give a gift, I could just order one from the store later.

I thought about it and agreed, so I just brought some simple welcome gifts.

As soon as I walked in the door, I saw Jade sitting on the couch watching TV shows, wearing my pajamas.

I really don't like other people touching my clothes, but I thought maybe my brother had given them to her to wear, so I couldn't say anything.

I smiled and put the things in my hand in front of her, "Sister-in-law, just a small token. I hope you like it."

Jade glanced at the gift boxes on the table and enthusiastically held my hand, saying there was no need to spend money.

"It's okay, as long as you like it," I said.

After I finished speaking, Jade started rummaging through the gift boxes on the table. In the end, it seemed she didn't find anything she liked, but she still managed to keep a smile on her face. "Thank you, Aria. I really like them."

Then Jade pulled me close and asked where I worked, how much my monthly salary was, how much I gave to the family, and if I had a boyfriend.

A bunch of questions that made me feel awkward and gave me a headache.

If it were my old self, I would have slapped her for being so shameless.

Out of politeness, I only answered the last question, "I don't have a boyfriend."

A moment later, my brother came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit. He told me to take the fruit to Jade.

Jade started picking through the fruit again, and after reluctantly eating a couple of pieces, she told my brother she didn't like fruit.

Suddenly, I remembered I had two boxes of cherries in my car. When Jade saw the cherries, her eyes lit up, and she immediately devoured a whole box.

Seeing them chatting happily in the living room, I didn't want to be a third wheel, so I took my luggage back to my room.

As soon as I entered my room, I was stunned.
