Chapter 5


    "Perhaps you''re forgetting that your stupid daughter is marrying a man who has nothing." So don''t


    bother returning once the money you took from us is over."


    Sandra''s mother couldn''t take it any longer; if it hadn''t been for the guilt she felt towards her husband,


    she would have told them to get lost, so she finally uttered what she had always wanted to say.


    "Well, mum." “I''m not sure if I should still call you mum at this point, because not everyone in this world


    wants money, some want love and freedom, so don''t say my daughter sacrificed her future for these


    few dors of yours, no! She is willing to marry because she wants my husband to get his freedom,


    which you have dined him since he was a child, and I wonder if he''s even your child? or you got him off


    the street because no parent in the doesn''t want their children to be happy."


    "What did your good sons and grandchildren do for you, for the family, or for thepany that you so


    proudly show off?" "It''s always my husband''s sweat and energy towards this family that you see. What


    does he get in exchange for standing? insults and ungratefulness from all of you people whose


    grandparents sent their three-year-old daughter to their parents'' friend because they believed she was


    cursed. So, please, even if we don''t have anything to eat, we will never consider returning to this


    house. Our daughter has given up her future and freedom for our freedom, therefore we must make her


    happy, and I hope it is not you who regrets it."


    She then told her husband, "honey, let''s go and pack our things and get the hell out of this house; I


    don''t care where we stay as long as I''m far away from these people who pretend to be humans."


    Her outburst startled everyone, including her husband and daughter, because it was the first time she


    had spoken back to members of the Smith family. Even when they were transferring her three-year-old


    daughter to a family friend to stay, she just secluded herself in their room and sobbed.


    Even when she was made a maid in her own home for thest twenty years, she neverined or


    expressed any feelings.


    "Now you see she has shown her true colours," the old mother Smith stated to her son Andrew,


    "I told you not to marry that poor woman because she never loved you but loved our Smith family’s


    money!"


    “You never listened, and now look at her or her daughter; they are all useless garbage who only care


    about our family''s money. You will be regret you married her! You should see what your useless wife


    did to me; she insulted me in front of everyone and cursed me and our family."


    Matilda gazed at her, wondering what kind of woman she was. They packed their belongings, came


    downstairs, and looked at the rest of the Smith family who were still in the living room.


    His brothers pretended to feel sorry for their brother for having to live with them, but deep down they


    couldn''t wait to celebrate victory and finally have all of the Smith properties to themselves.


    Stacey and Steh, along with their mothers, were doing a happy dance in their heads because they


    despised the mother-daughterbo the most.


    "Make sure you will never regret stepping out of this house, nevere back into this house even


    when you have nothing to eat and that good for nothing daughter of yours, better keep her promise and


    gets married, otherwise I will make her life a living heal," said the old smith to his son Andrew.


    Andrew looked at his dad for a few second,


    "I was wondering if we were making the right decision because this is the house where I grew up and


    you are my parents who gave me life and whom I have respected my entire life, but what you said


    convinced me that this is the best decision my family and I have made in years."


    “I wish I had left this house twenty-two years ago because my daughter would not have grown up in the


    hands of others, she would have received the best education and would not be marring just to give me


    my freedom; I was a coward back then and couldn''t protect my family, but this time, I make a promise


    to my wife and daughter."


    "I, Andrew Smith, will never return to this house to live or to the smith group to work; I promise to work


    hard and make my family proud; I will never ask anything from the smith family or use the smith family


    name to make a living."


    After that, he told his wife and daughter, "Let''s go, we''re no longer wee here," and as he took a


    step, his daughter said,


    "Dad, please wait! We have not yet received confirmation that you have got your hard-earned money,


    but it is your money! So it''s only right that you get it because you worked for it for twenty-two years, so


    let them pay you to zero bnce."


    "If they can''t, ourwyer is still here, and we will take them to court so that they make a decision for us,"


    when the old man and woman of the smith family realised that this little bastard wants to report them to


    the police because of money, they felt suffocated that if they weren''t sitting on the chair, they would


    have fainted from anger. The olddy looked at his younger son with hatred that if given a chance, she


    would kill him.


    “because of our money, you want to take us to court, Andrew, is this the way we raised you I regret not


    killing you when I had a chance”.


    After she said that she closed her eyes as she remembered that she almost said the words she

    shouldn’t say.


    Andrew couldn''t believe his own mother could wish him dead, let alone kill him for money. The little love


    he had left for the Smith family had vanished, leaving only hatred and a promise to make a name for


    himself and see how his mother would look at him and repeat the same words.


    He crossed his eyes and took a long breath before taking his wife''s hand and daughter and leaving the


    smith family. His daughter gazed back at the smith family and said,


    "If we don''t see a message in ten minutes after we leave here, we''ll meet at court, and we''ll ask your


    belovedwyer Enoch if he can win mywyer, or if there''s awyer in this city who can win him, and


    we all know you can''t afford awyer better than that." So, for the sake of my own peace of mind and


    my own time, let us not waste each other''s time because you will not win."
