The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 59

After Lance issued the order, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, I heard a noise and turned back to look.

I was being restrained by the police officers, but there wasn’t a trace of fear on my face.

I turned my head slightly and looked at Lance coldly. “Are you really going to do this?”

“Isn’t that a silly question?” Aunt Violet, with her fat and black–polished body, walked over and answered for Lance, “You two injured me, my son, and my grandson. Not only do you have to go to

jail, but you also have to compensate us!”

She raised three fingers and said, “Three hundred thousand, not a penny less.”

“Hmph!” Sophia sneered.

Three hundred thousand – they really dared to demand that much.

Dad was honest and not one to hold grudges, but Aunt Violet’s brazenness made him angry again.

His vein

bulged, and he was about to rush towards her.

Aunt Violet was frightened and quickly dodged backward.

“Such audacity, you dare to attack in the police station.” Despite dodging, she kept shouting, “Add charges, add charges!”

She clearly had a plan in mind.

I was penniless after leaving home.

Dad could only get around ten to twenty thousand dollars at most by selling his skills.

We wouldn’t be able to pay, so they would propose using our house as collateral.

The Olsen family had no power or influence, so they couldn’t do anything to her, and the house

would be hers!

I saw through Aunt Violet’s scheme and quietly called out to Dad, shaking my head.

I was asking him not to lose his temper.

Dad received my gaze, feeling guilty, but he had to calm down.

“I’m asking Chief Lance.” I ignored Jared and continued to look at Chief Lance.

My gaze was fierce and filled with provocation.

Chief Lance was used to being dominant in this area, but for the first time, he felt offended.

A surge of anger rose within me, and he slammed his big, rough hand heavily on the table, shouting in a coarse voice, “Yes, that’s what I mean!”

He glared fiercely at me with a menacing expression, displaying undisguised arrogance. Then he stuck one hand in his pocket, swaggering about.

One of the men beside him tsked and said, “Do you know who Chief Lance is? He’s not someone you can offend. I advise you to bow your head, admit your mistakes, apologize, and try to speak nicely to Chief Lance to get out of here as soon as possible.”

“Hmph,” I responded with a cold sneer, completely disregarding Chief Lance, which only darkened

his face further.

The man looked at me and said indignantly, “You young people, you’ve been outside for so long that you’ve forgotten the rules of the countryside. Things here are not like in the city. We don’t always go by the book; we follow our emotions and the authority of officials. Don’t think you can use the city’s ways in our village; it won’t work!”

“Here, Chief Lance is like a god; his words are like imperial edicts!”

He finished speaking and cast a glance at me before approaching Dad, patting his shoulder repeatedly, and saying, “Your daughter is young and reckless; don’t you understand that?”

“We do understand,” I answered before Dad could respond.

Dad was visibly surprised by my words and looked at me.

So, was I scared and willing to yield?

Others probably had the same thought upon hearing my words.

Aunt Violet gleefully twisted her fat waist and spoke to Chief Lance, “After things are settled, come to our house for a meal. My son Jared has specially reserved wild boar meat for you. It’s a precious delicacy.”

“Wild boar meat?” Despite the ban on eating wild animals everywhere, Jared’s family paid no attention to it and often went hunting for wild game in the mountains.

Chief Lance also enjoyed such food and immediately broke into a grin.

I had no intention of wasting time with them and continued, “I didn’t know that the entire town had to obey the orders of Chief Lance. If that’s the case, may I ask what the mayor and the bureau chief

are for?”

“Hmph! Your family doesn’t even have any connections with Chief Lance, yet you want to challenge the mayor and the bureau chief?” Aunt Violet sneered, her cold laughter grating on the ears. “You

must be dreaming!”

“Just because my family has no connections doesn’t mean we can’t challenge them,” I retorted with a half–smile, shooting a cold glance at the police officers. “Let go!”

For some reason, my glare carried a particularly formidable aura, and the police officers instinctively stiffened, loosening their grip.

In front of everyone, I took out my phone and dialed a number: “Fredrica, our town’s Chief Lance not only abuses his power for personal gain but also breaks the law by consuming wild animals. Ask your uncle if he’s managing such matters.”

“What’s going on? Did someone bully you?” On the other end of the line, Fredrica immediately guessed when she heard my question.

Without wasting any time, I continued, “Come over right away!”

Chief Lance and Aunt Violet, along with Jared, were initially surprised to see me openly reporting the incident on the phone. Their faces turned pale, but when they saw me end the conversation after a few words, they regained their composure.

“Don’t worry, she won’t be causing any trouble!” Jared shook his leg and leaned to the side, speaking with a delinquent demeanor. His eyes scanned me from top to bottom, clearly lusting after my beauty. He was already plotting how to take advantage of me after this whole situation was resolved.

Hearing her son’s words, Aunt Violet nodded in agreement: “That’s right, I married a wealthy man before, but unfortunately, he kicked me out with nothing.”

If I was kicked out with nothing, it meant that he must have been extremely disgusted with me, and naturally, he wouldn’t send anyone to help me.

Chief Lance pretended to be aloof and gave a disdainful hum. He brushed the dust off his hands with his rough palms and said, “Get the matter done quickly! I still need to go play cards. That bastard, I lost badly to him yesterday.”

The police officers sympathized with Dad and me, but they were only earning a meager living and had to consider Chief Lance’s feelings in every matter. They didn’t dare say anything more.

They approached me again, ready to take me away.
