Chapter 2My Son Shattered a 4S Store

As soon as I stepped through the door, Jenna's shrill voice pierced the air.

"My precious grandson is back! I missed you so much!"

Seeing that I was alone, her face immediately turned cold and mean.

"Where's my grandson? Why are you coming back alone?"

I thought, "You claim to love your grandson so much, but in my past life, I never saw you spend a penny to help him."

Jenna wasn't a kind person. In my past life, my bad relationship with Garrett was partly her doing.

I had taken out a huge loan to bail Garrett out of the juvenile detention center, and she quickly rushed over, wiping away tears.

"If it weren't for your mother dawdling the paperwork at the bank, you wouldn't have had to stay in that godforsaken place for so long."

At that moment, Garrett looked at me with burning hatred in his eyes.

From then on, he grew colder toward me, accusing me of not saving my own son. He thought I was heartless and wished me dead.

Meanwhile, his relationship with Jenna became closer.

I thought, "Fine, this time, I won't be there to clean up your mess. Let's see what kind of 'family warmth' you two will have."

I pinched myself hard and pretended to cry bitterly.

"Jenna, Garrett's in trouble! He's been arrested! What should we do?"

Upon listening to my exaggerated account, Jenna reeled, clutched my arm, and hurried me off to the police station.

I stopped her.

"Wait, Jenna. I need to get some money. Let's bail Garrett out first."

In the interrogation room, Garrett sat there, appearing arrogant, impatiently answering the officer's questions.

"I just wanted to teach my mom a lesson for not buying me the car. She thinks she's too good for me!

"According to my grandma, women like her deserve a beating. My grandmother told me that if I give her a lesson, she'll know her place."

Upon hearing the conversation inside, my heart didn't even stir.

I helped Jenna walk in. Garrett kicked his chair aside and charged at me.

"You bitch, how dare you leave me behind? Don't you want to stay in our house anymore?"

The nearby police quickly restrained him, slamming him to the ground.

Jenna cried in distress, constantly slapping the police officers.

"Let go of my grandson! Let him go, you bunch of heartless bastards! I'm going to sue you!"

Jenna's overindulgence of Garrett had blurred his sense of right and wrong.

"It's your fault! You took bad luck to the family. You made my son die, and now you're ruining my grandson! You should've just bought him the car. If you bought that car for him, none of this would have happened!

"Now hurry up and get the money to bail my grandson out?"

She looked at me as if my money grew on trees.

I obediently handed over my card to the store manager and bowed several times in apology.

Jenna wrapped her arms around Garrett with a smug look.

"You want me to let my grandson rot in jail for such a small amount of money? You are a greedy animal."

The store manager looked like he might punch her but held back at the last moment.

"A professional estimate puts the compensation at 1.3 million dollars. Any objections?"

"What? 1.3 million dollars? How could that be? Are your cars made of gold?"

Jenna yanked my collar and demanded loudly, "How do you have so much money?"

"Jenna, of course, I don't. This is your son's compensation money."

Jenna froze right there, and taking this opportunity, I pushed her away from Garrett.

"Garrett, I'm sorry you've suffered. I'm going home to get the money.

"If only your grandma gave me the money, you wouldn't be in this mess."

Tears streaming down my face, I wiped away the fake tears.

Jenna stared at me, shocked.

She didn't expect that I also knew how to sow discord.

"Well, well. You old witch. You take my father's money and refuse to let me spend it. You're pure evil."

Jenna was flustered. She stammered and didn't know how to explain.

Garrett shoved her to the ground and grabbed me to drag me home.

I turned, grabbed the card, and smiled at Jenna on the floor.

In my mind, I said, "This is just the beginning."
