Chapter 1199
Mathew jumped out of his skin.
“We’re just asking for what we’re owed, how the heck did it become blackmail?” he said, fuming.
Abby was clearly scared.
“Honey, I heard those rich folks have a bunch of killer lawyers, we don’t have any chance against them…“.
The man’s brows furrowed.
“I’m gonna figure out who’s pulling strings behind the scenes! They have the nerve to set me up?!”
All his life, he’s had it his way.
Never had he been knocked so low!

“She’s probably just blowing hot air, she wouldn’t really call the cops!”
But.
Much to his surprise, when they trudged back to the hotel, the cops were indeed there waiting for them.
Seeing the cops, Mathew bolted.
Only to be tackled down by the police right on the sidewalk.
The couple and their two bawling kids were all taken to the nearby police station.
“We’re innocent, that woman and my nephew set us up, we’re decent folks, we would never extort anyone! We’re
being framed!”

Mathew, usually a tough guy, seemed to lose his nerve, his face covered in dust, he echoed: “Exactly, you officials

Their kids were handed over to the welfare department.
Three days later.
They were finally taken out.
In a conference room, they met Rosalynn, whom they had met before.

“Ms. Tesdal! Ms. Tesdal, I’ve screwed up, we don’t want the money or the house anymore, please let us off! I’ve got
three kids to take care of! They can’t live without me!” Abby collapsed to her knees the moment she saw Rosalynn.
Mathew, however, was in a daze, standing aside.
How did it come to this?
From a podunk town, he made it to a bustling metropolis, with a house and a fat bank account.
How did he suddenly become a prisoner, penniless?
The folks in jail were not friendly, he’s always been a tough guy, plus he was in a bad mood when he got in, so he
had a run–in with some of them.
