The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 891-895
Chapter 891
Elaine Ma never imagined that over twenty years later, she'd be brutally beaten because of Matilda's incident. She'd planned to persuade Gena, but Mrs. Wilson's intervention completely undermined her efforts, plunging her into an endless abyss. The women who attacked her, each with a history of being wronged, unleashed their rage and showed no mercy. Elaine was severely beaten, nearly falling into shock several times before being roused by the others.
After the beating, Lady Wilson said, "Let's get this woman to the toilet before she upsets us further."
"Yes," a woman coldly replied. "Throw her in the toilet!"
Two women dragged Elaine to the toilet. Wendy followed, pouring a basin of water over Elaine and sneering, "Elaine Ma, you never dreamed of this day? You, of all people, dared to fight with me?"
The cold water jolted Elaine awake, filling her with regret. She shouldn't have tried to gain Gena's sympathy, nor accused Mrs. Wilson. Most importantly, she shouldn't have stolen her son-in-law Charlie Wade's bank card, especially since he turned out to be involved in a transnational fraud! Had she not stolen the card, Charlie would have faced the consequences eventually, but her actions brought her this inhumane torture. She spent the night in the toilet, curled in a ball, until dawn.
By evening, she had a high fever and hadn't eaten in nearly 48 hours. The next morning, too weak to lift her eyelids, she remained in the toilet as others washed. When Gena and the others noticed her absence, they sent someone to check on her, dragging her out when they found her shivering in the corner.
Gena, already eating her breakfast, playfully asked, "You haven't eaten for two days. Must be hungry, huh?"

Elaine Ma nodded weakly, pleading, "Sister Gena, please…let me have a bite. I might die…"
Gena sneered, pouring the porridge onto the floor. "Want to eat? Lick it up."
Yesterday, Elaine would have refused, but now, desperate for food, she knelt and licked the porridge from the concrete floor. Lady Wilson watched with glee, imagining Elaine's long prison sentence. Elaine even swallowed sand, unconcerned.
Suddenly, a prison guard announced, "Elaine Ma, come out. The police station is here for questioning."
Elaine, understanding this was part of a plan involving her son-in-law, eagerly complied. The guard noticed her injuries, including missing teeth, and was surprised but followed protocol, given prior instructions. The police officers who collected her were shocked by her condition.
Chapter 893
At the police station, Elaine was immediately taken to an interrogation room. The officers pressed her to confess, threatening her with a possible death sentence. Panicked, Elaine insisted the bank card wasn't hers, claiming it was her son-in-law's and urging them to arrest him.
An officer produced the black card. Elaine recognized it instantly, connecting it to her ordeal. She vehemently declared that her son-in-law was the culprit. The officer then revealed a portfolio containing hundreds of identical black cards.
Elaine learned that the cards were part of a massive transnational fraud scheme. The cards contained $21.9 billion each, and victims who tried to withdraw the money became accomplices. Elaine was spared because she hadn't withdrawn any money. The cards had been sent to her son-in-law, who reported them to the police.
Chapter 894
The officer explained that Charlie Wade, being honest, reported the card immediately. Elaine's theft had made her an unwitting accomplice. The criminals intended to lure Charlie into withdrawing the money, then kill him and pin the crime on him. Elaine was overcome with relief and gratitude for surviving.
Elaine pleaded with the officers to release her, promising never to speak of the incident. The officers, however, were wary of releasing her, fearing she might reveal information to the criminals.
Chapter 895
Elaine desperately begged for her release, but the police remained hesitant, worried that releasing her would endanger her life. They proposed a compromise: she had to write a guarantee promising silence, even from her family, as a condition for release. Elaine, terrified for her safety, readily agreed, promising to take the secret to her grave.
