Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 495
Chapter 495: 175: Don’t be afraid, I’ll come to take you home_4
They couldn’t just watch as the daughter-in-law they spent 500,000 yuan to marry was taken away by someone else.
Rachel belonged to their family in life, and she would belong to their family in death!
“Now I’ll tell you, Dolores Frieman is in fact Rachel,” Viola continued. “First, your son and her never got any legal documents, so they aren’t really husband and wife. Second, you are now detaining Rachel against her will, which is illegal confinement. Third, you drugged Rachel and forced her to have a wedding with Zachary Mayhew, which is considered human trafficking.”
Reaching this point, she turns her eyes to Terrence Lentz. “Lentz, how long is the combined prison sentence for these crimes?”
“From ten years to life imprisonment.”
His tone was slightly heavy, but his words were powerful and clear.
Hearing this, Dalton Tavas shrugged it off. “Cut it out! Who are you trying to scare?”
Such things happened all the time in their village!
Which family didn’t get dowries when their daughters married?
Besides, Rachel was already part of their family. It wouldn’t matter if they locked her up or even killed her; it would be considered an internal matter of their household.
Could the law even interfere?
At this moment, Zachary Mayhew heard the noises downstairs and immediately rushed down.
“Mom, what’s going on?”
Dalton explained: “Son, they’re trying to take your wife away!”
Hearing this, Zachary became furious and raised his fist, ready to fight.
But before he could swing his fist, he was subdued by a big and tall bodyguard.
Seeing this, Dalton immediately sat on the ground, utilizing her shrewish nature, and started crying and shouting. “Help! Someone! They’re killing me! They’re killing me!”
“Get people here quickly!”
At this moment, Jimmy Mayhew brought a large group of villagers.
Among these villagers was Sid Winslet.
Upon seeing Dolores, whom he hadn’t seen since last night, Sid immediately approached her and grabbed her hand. “You damn whore! Did you sneak out to cheat on me last night? Come home with me! I’ll beat you to death!”
After losing his phone and Dolores, Sid had searched for her all night, not even closing his eyes to sleep.
At this moment, Sid wished he could kill Dolores on the spot.
He dragged Dolores, ready to leave.
But at this moment…
Two human walls appeared in front of Sid.
Sid looked up.
All he saw were tall, burly men in black standing before him.
Sid swallowed hard, and while he was distracted, Dolores took the opportunity to break free, hiding behind the bodyguard.
Dalton, who had been crying and making a fuss, saw that the villagers had arrived, and immediately straightened her back. “Fellow villagers, you must help us today! These people want to take our newlywed daughter-in-law away in broad daylight! Tell me, is there any justice left in this world?”
Hearing this, the villagers began to discuss in a low tone.
“Too much! They really think that we, people of Olsand Village, are easy to bully!”
“Let’s block their car today. If they don’t give us an explanation, they can only drive over us!”
“Right! Drive over us!”
Seeing everyone standing in front of the car, Dalton breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed at Viola and Terrence and said: “Dolores is now our daughter-in-law. Even if she dies, she’s still a ghost of the Mayhew family! None of you can take her away! Moreover, you have to compensate us for our mental anguish. If you don’t, don’t even think about leaving!”
“Pay a hundred thousand!”
“That’s right, a hundred thousand!”
Reaching this point, Dalton lay on the ground, crying. “Bullying, it’s such bullying! Are city people amazing? Is having a car amazing?”
Jimmy Mayhew dragged his son Zachary, and they sat down on the ground in front of the car.
They were determined not to let them leave without paying.
Just then…
The sound of breaking glass suddenly rang through the air.
Immediately followed by Rachel’s voice.
“Viola!”
Rachel looked at downstairs, crying and shouting. “Viola, save me!”
Although she couldn’t see Viola from this angle, she knew Viola must have come.
Definitely.
“Rachel!”
Viola immediately went outside and looked up.
Seeing Viola for that instant, Rachel’s tears burst forth. “Viola, save me quickly!”
She was filled with regret now.
All she wanted was to hug Viola tightly.
“I’ll come save you right away!”
Viola turned and headed upstairs.
However, Jimmy Mayhew and Zachary, father and son, stood in her way at the door.
