The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 What Happened 14 Years Ago

Some people also noticed the second half of Scarlett’s statement.

‘Did Scarlett just say Jessica and her son drove her daughter–in–law to death?”

‘What does that mean exactly? What really happened with her son and the daughterinlaw?”

Everyone was dying of curiosity.

A woman who looked to be about 40 heard Scarlett’s words and the name Mildred, and shock appeared on her face.

She murmured, “Mildred? That name sounds exactly like the mother–in–law from that brutal murder case more than a decade ago.

“That vicious mother–in–law and her son abused the daughter–in–law constantly, yelling at her and beating her all the time. Even when the daughter–in–law was pregnant, she still had to do housework and take care of the mother–in–law, and after the baby was born, she couldn’t take it anymore and wanted a divorce.

“The mother–in–law insisted that the daughter–in–law must have another man outside. She pushed her son to beat his wife, and he lost control, grabbed a kitchen knife, and stabbed his own wife to death. I heard her neck was almost cut in half and her head was nearly severed…”

When the crowd heard the woman’s words, their eyes widened in shock.

They remembered the case she was talking about.

And they finally remembered who Mildred was.

In fact, they had already forgotten the names involved in that case.

But they had never forgotten the incident itself.

Because that case had been so horrifying that it left a deep impression seared into their memory.

It was a brutal wife–murder case in Tanburn, 14 or 15 years ago.

The killer was man with the last name Boone, who killed his wife in an extremely cruel way.

The police later discovered that the couple had a good relationship before they got married. However, after they got married, the husband brought his widowed mother to live with them, and conflicts began happening constantly.

The wife had a gentle personality and kept enduring it.

The motherinlaw cursed her constantly, made her do all the housework, and nitpicked everything.

Sometimes the wife tried to argue back, but when her husband heard her, he beat her.

From then on, he abused her regularly.

Whenever the husband beat his wife, his mother would cheer him on. “That’s right, hit her, women need to be beaten, or they won’t behave. Talk back again and see what happens. I’ll ask my son to beat you to death

At that time, the wife was already pregnant, and after she gave birth, she was still bullied by her mother–in- law during the postpartum period. She finally gathered the courage to ask for a divorce after she finished her confinement.

But the mother–in–law spread rumors everywhere, saying the woman had a lover outside and that was why

she wanted a divorce.

That day, the wife once again brought up divorce in front of her mother–in–law. Her husband and her son. who was only one month old, were all present.

The mother–in–law flew into a rage and screamed insults.

The husband walked into the kitchen with a dark expression and came back holding a kitchen knife, demanding to know whether the woman really wanted a divorce.

The wife clenched her teeth and said yes, and the husband went crazy and started hacking at her with the knife. In the end, he even chopped at her neck several times until her head was almost severed.

The vicious mother–in–law in that murder case was named Mildred.

After the incident, the man who committed the murder was arrested.

He was originally sentenced to death, but the sentence was later changed to life in prison.

Even though Mildred was not sentenced, her neighbors already knew that she constantly abused her daughter–in–law.

They all knew that even though Mildred was not arrested or sentenced, she was still largely responsible for the woman’s tragic death.

Everyone hated Mildred.

Whenever she went outside, people mocked her, and some even threw things at her.

People even dumped buckets of manure in front of her house.

Mildred couldn’t continue living in her old house.

She could only leave with her grandson.

She moved more than 600 miles away to Southyra, changed her name, and settled there.

Back then, the internet was not as widespread, so online info didn’t travel as fast, but the case still became known across the country.

It appeared on television news and in newspapers.

It was such a horrifying murder case that the story spread everywhere.
