Lily never believed that Meredith could lead a better life than her. Subconsciously, she thought that Meredith must have used some dirty means to get this card. That was why she spoke against Meredith.
When Clara heard this, she quickly added, "Don't talk nonsense. There's no old man and Mer doesn't cheat to get this card. Mer is in a free relationship, and her boyfriend is just a little older."
Hearing this, Meredith turned around abruptly, "What did you just say? Say it again."
Meredith's eyes were so sharp and full of undisguised anger. Seeing this, Lily suddenly felt a kind of fear. Nonetheless, Lily didn't want to show her fear to Meredith, "I'm wrong."
Meredith squinted at her, and Lily said in a tone dripping with sarcasm, "You don't cheat to get the card. You steal it. How can the old man like you? After all, you've been in prison, so it's normal for you to learn how to steal."
As Lily spoke, she felt that her words made sense. She snatched the card from the shop assistant and looked carefully at it, "Auntie, she definitely cannot have such a valuable card. She must have stolen it!"
Clara also came over to take a look. She rolled her eyes, and immediately said in a tone dripping with sarcasm, "Mer, I don't care if you do other things, but if you steal someone else's things, I can't just sit back and watch. We are a family, but I have to place righteousness above family loyalty."
Meredith frowned as the two of them were lying through her teeth, "You said I stole it. Where's the evidence? Aren't you afraid of being arrested for making false accusations when you talk nonsense without evidence?"
"What evidence do you want? This card is the best physical evidence! I'll call the police now and see how you explain it to the police!"
Lily's loud voice attracted a lot of people to watch. She then called the police.
Lily gave Meredith a triumphant look. "Now, you're done!"
Meredith did not defend herself. What was there to be afraid of when she didn't do anything wrong?
After a while, the police arrived and they brought several people to the for interrogation because of the huge amount of money involved.
"Meredith, right? Where do you get this card?"
"Someone else gives it to me."
"Who gives it to you?"
