His mother then related everything to him. After Jared was sent to prison, the Scott family didn't look past the matter. Instead, they demanded a million in compensation.
Left without a choice, Jared's parents sold the house they bought for his marriage and borrowed a lot of money. Even then, it was not enough. Finally, they had to pay the last three hundred thousand in installments.
Thus, Jared's father lost his job and could only find work as a street cleaner. As for his mother, she cried all day long until she went blind.
That was also the reason why his parents never visited him.
While listening to his mother, Jared gradually clenched his fist as his eyes glowed with murderous intent.
He had not expected the Scott family to show his family no mercy.
“Mom, did Sandy not help you at all?” Jared asked in a puzzled tone.
Sandy and I were about to be married. Furthermore, I was jailed defending her honor. Hence, there's no way she can sit idly by and watch my parents end up in this state, can she?
Letting out a sigh, Hannah replied, “Let's not bring that up. Not only did the Gibson family ignore us, but they also didn't even return the betrothal gift when I asked for it back. They claimed it wasn't their fault that the wedding fell through because you went to prison. That's why they refused to return it.”
“When your dad argued with them, he was even beaten for it.”
The more Hannah talked about it, the more depressed she became. In the end, her tears just would not stop.
