I thought we would not have anything to do with each other ever again.

I didn't expect such a matter to come up.

I immediately got out of bed, washed up, put on my backpack, and ran out of the door.

In building 6 of Lily Gardens, I stood in front of the elevator doors.

It was truly a mess.

The whole corridor and the lift were filled with all kinds of garbage. It looked disgusting.

No wonder all the other property owners were complaining. If I were one of the neighbors, I would have exploded a long time ago.

There were a lot of flowers outside No. 801.

I walked over to check the door and realized that the old lock had been picked. A new lock had also been installed.

That was why they were able to get in without a key.

I reached out to knock on the door, but there was no response.

I took out a small hammer from my bag and rammed it on the door. The noise was deafening.

I had to hammer the door a dozen times before someone answered.

"What the hell? I thought there was an earthquake!" An elder lady in her 50s poked her head out of the door and glared at me. "Why are you banging on my door during this hour? Are you out of your mind?"

"How dare you? Who said this is your house?" I stepped forward, forced the door open, and walked inside.

The setting of the house didn't change at all. But there were pictures of Derek and his wife on the walls. Flowers were scattered everywhere, which signaled that they had just gotten married.

"Who the hell are you? Who said you could come into my house?" the elder lady shouted as she walked inside behind me.

"Shouldn't you be in a mental hospital?"

I ignored her and began checking each room.

There were poker tables on the balcony and in the guest room. There were cigarette butts everywhere as well.

A karaoke machine was installed in the living room and the screen was still switched on. It was obvious that they had been singing all night long.

My body began shaking due to the anger.

I had spent a huge amount of money to renovate the house. I hadn't even lived in it, but someone else used it to treat his relatives.

I charged into the master bedroom and lifted the quilt. What I didn't expect was that there was only a half-naked woman lying there.

The woman screamed and quickly used the quilt to cover herself.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you in my house?"

It seemed that the woman was still kept in the dark about who was the real owner of the house.

I took out my phone and recorded everything in the house. From the bedroom to the living and both women were included as well. I focused on the damaged parts of the house as well.

The elder lady chased me and wanted to snatch my phone. "What are you filming? This is my house. You have no right to..."

I couldn't stand her anymore and shouted, “Stop talking nonsense! This is my house, you fool!”

The elder lady looked at me as if she was looking at an idiot. Her voice was full of disdain. "Which mental hospital did you come out of? My son-in-law bought this house for me! Are you imagining things?"

The other woman had gotten dressed and charged out of the room as well. She pointed at me and cursed, "You were filming in my room. You've invaded my privacy! Don't you know that's against the law?"

'Two complete idiots!'

I suddenly realized that one would actually laugh when rendered speechless.

"You are the ones who have broken the law!"

"Mom, you should have been more careful. Why did you let just anyone in?" The younger woman held up her phone and began filming me with her brows furrowed. "There are a lot of mental people nowadays. If she breaks anything in our house or causes any trouble, there's nothing we can do."

After listening to those words, the elder lady pointed at me with a broom and threatened, "Get the hell out of here or I'll beat you up!"

With that said, she swung the broom in her hand.

I knew they wouldn't believe anything I said at that moment.

I had all the evidence I needed anyway. I planned on leaving, calling the police, and accusing them of trespassing on my property.

However, just when I reached the door, something hit the back of my head.

The elder lady's voice could be heard. "She's indeed mental. Since you want to have it the hard way, this is what you get for disturbing us. If you don't leave now, then I..."

I became infuriated, turned around, took the broom, and swung it at the elder lady's head. "You must have a death wish! How dare you hit me after forcibly occupying my house?"

'No wonder you're Derek's in-laws! You're one of a kind!' I exclaimed inwardly.

I wasn't planning on arguing with them since they didn't know anything, but I wasn't going to let them off after hitting me.

The elder lady immediately fell to the ground. She covered her head, rolled around, and shouted, "She's trying to kill me! Quick, Shannon, call the police! Someone is trespassing and has attacked me!"

Shannon was filming and when she saw me fight back, she quickly dragged her mom into the bedroom and locked the door.

'Want to rip me off? Fine! Saves me calling the police!' I thought.

Soon, two police officers pushed open the door.

"Who called the police?"

"It was me, officer!"

After hearing the voice of the police, Shannon quickly opened the door and pointed at me. "I was the one who called the police! This woman charged into my house for no reason and began filming me! She even hit my mom!"

The elder lady walked out with her head covered as she moaned in pain. "That's right, officer. Seize this woman immediately! She has to pay for my medical fees and compensate my daughter!"

The police officers gave me a suspicious look.

Shannon handed her phone to the police. "I filmed it when she hit my mom. Here's the evidence."

I was rendered speechless.

"Officers, I wanted to call the police as well. They trespassed into my house, caused financial damage, and wanted to rip me off."

The elder lady rushed over and spat on my face angrily. "Nonsense! This is the wedding house that my son-in-law bought!"

I immediately retorted, "This is my house, you fool! Your son-in-law picked the lock and lied to you saying that this is his house!"

Seeing that the two of us were telling two different stories, the police took us both back to the police station.

Inside the police station, I showed them photos of my deed, purchase certificate, and the renovation plan.

Even though the evidence was in front of her, Shannon and the elder lady still didn't believe me. They still pointed at me and said that I was lying and that the photos were Photoshopped. They still claimed that the house was theirs.

An officer wanted to calm the elder lady down but was pushed aside. She pointed at the officer and cursed, "Do you think I'm stupid? You're on the same team! You're a bunch of swindlers working together and want to take the house from us! I won't sign anything before my son-in-law arrives. Just you want!"

The elder lady's stupidity caused the officer recording the statement to roll his eyes.
