Chapter 118 The Wicked Stepmother
Lin Banxia glared at her with fury in her eyes, speaking angrily: "No money for you, but I’m definitely taking what’s my mom’s."
"Oh, such big talk. If you don’t give me money, I won’t return the stuff to you. I’ll burn it all." Cheng Rouyin sneered in reply.
"You wouldn’t dare..." Lin Banxia immediately grew agitated, glaring angrily at her.
"Try me and see!" Cheng Rouyin was no pushover either.
Lin Banxia had no other options, so she reached into her wallet and took out a card: "There’s 100,000 yuan on this card—all yours. Just give me back my mom’s belongings."
"100,000 yuan? Are you trying to throw scraps at me? And anyway, that money came right out of this household." Cheng Rouyin scoffed at the sum—barely enough to buy her a luxury handbag.
Anger overcame Lin Banxia. She shoved the card back and pulled out her phone, ready to make a call.
"Who are you calling? Let me tell you—no one’s going to help. If you won’t pay, I won’t hand over the stuff." Cheng Rouyin said bitterly.
"I’m calling the police!" Lin Banxia shot back with three firm words.
Cheng Rouyin froze, clearly not expecting this brat to be bold enough to involve the police.
"I’ll tell them my belongings are missing, that I suspect theft, and have them settle this." Lin Banxia had grown shrewd; knowing her father wouldn’t help her, she decided she had to find her own way forward.
Cheng Rouyin snorted: "That junk of yours isn’t worth anything. The police won’t bother with it."
