Chapter 300 What a Vile Old Hag
“I remember that case, too. It was brutal”
“My God, someone like that has been living with us for over a decade, and nobody knew?
“No wonder she never dared to use her real name and kept having us call her Mrs. Boones, turns out she’s Mildred, that vicious old woman.”
“That’s just awful. She kept telling us her daughter–in–law ran off with another man, but the truth is her son killed her. How could someone be that cruel? She’s not even afraid of karma.”
“Good thing Scarlett can read faces. I can’t believe she could figure something like this out, that’s incredible
The way everyone looked at Scarlett shifted, shock mixing with unease.
Just by looking at someone, she could tell what had happened in their life.
That alone was enough to make people uneasy.
Scarlett had not figured everything out from nothing.
From Jessica’s face, she could only read what was going on within her family.
She could see that her son had killed the daughter–in–law and that he would end up in prison.
She could see Jessica’s cruelty, that after being 58 years old, she would be plagued by illness, that her descendants would not care for her, and that she would not have a good ending.
The reason she knew the rest was because she had seen a report about the case in an old newspaper a few
years ago.
That report included photos of Mildred, her son, and the daughter–in–law.
She remembered what she saw, and even now the details were still clear.
She had simply recognized that Jessica was the same Mildred from that report.
As for the woman who immediately pointed out that Mildred was the mother–in–law from that murder case in Tanburn years ago,
She was around 40 and from the town.
The moment she heard the name, she remembered, which showed how deeply that case had stayed with
her.
Her own past had not been that different from the murdered woman’s.
Back then, her husband had also abused her, and her mother–in–law had treated her badly.
When she saw that report, she felt a chill run through her.

Trust as region was frowning and trying to figure out how to get her to leave.
Someone suddenly came running from a distance, shouting as they headed toward the Sanchez Residence
Everyone turned to look.
From afar, they could make out three people, two men and one woman, and the woman was holding something as they ran closer
When they got near, people finally recognized who they were.
Everyone recognized them.
Speak of the devil–there he was.
They had just been talking about going to ask the head of the town committee about Jessica’s real name.
Now there was no need.
He had come himself.
It was the head of the town committee, Tad.
His son and daughter–in–law were with him.
The daughter–in–law was holding a baby who looked about three or four months old.

Chapter 300 What a Vile Old Hag
*5 Pearls
She realized that if she didn’t stand up for herself, she might end up the same way.
So she fought back, and she brought her own family to confront her in–laws.
Her family wrecked the place and beat her husband up.
In the end, she got a divorce successfully.
Once she actually resisted, she realized it was not as hard as she had thought.
That case was what made her decide to leave.
She went back to her parents‘ home and later remarried someone from the same town.
Her current husband treated her well and cared for her, and her life finally became steady and peaceful.
That was why she remembered that case so clearly; even the name stayed with her.
Because that incident changed her thinking and her life.
Now that everything was out in the open, everyone in the town knew exactly what kind of person Jessica
was.
Even Josie, who used to chat with her all the time, went pale and instinctively stepped away.
She might like gossip, but she had never abused her daughter–in–law.
Jessica had pushed her own son into killing his wife.
That was beyond cruel!
Jessica, or rather, Mildred stared at Scarlett, her eyes filled with hatred, anger burning in her chest.
That girl actually knew about her past.
She dropped to the ground again and started wailing.
“No, I’m not Mildred, I’m just Jessica, don’t listen to her nonsense, neighbors, you have to believe me,” she cried out.
The noise gave everyone a headache, but no one believed her anymore.
There was video proof that her grandson pushed a child into the river, and she still refused to admit it. She even tried to extort the Sanchezes into paying her 1000 dollars every month.
That proved that she lied without hesitation, and she was cruel and shameless.
But even now that everyone knew she was Mildred, there was not much they could do.
At most, people would keep their distance and tell others what she had done.
The neighbors looked at Mildred lying on the ground, feeling both annoyed and uneasy.
