After a complete victory, I hummed a tune back to my room.

After taking off my earrings, as I opened the drawer to put them away, I found that the gold necklace I placed in the drawer last night was missing.

In my past life, I also lost a gold necklace like this.

But when I asked if anyone had seen it, no one admitted to taking it. Instead, my mother-in-law and husband scolded me, saying I was messy for misplacing such a valuable item.

Not long after, Lu Jiamei flaunted a necklace identical to mine in front of me, claiming her boyfriend gave it to her.

That was a lie, even a dog wouldn't believe it.

But disbelief aside, my mother-in-law protected her daughter, my husband protected his sister, so I had to swallow my anger.

However, this time, she wasn't so lucky.

Whoever took mine, better spit it out.

So I deliberately asked in the living room, "Mom, did you clean our room today? Have you seen my gold necklace?"

After being confronted by me, my mother-in-law, in a bad mood, completely ignored me.

Then I asked Lu Jiamei, "Sister, have you seen my necklace?"

She followed her mother's lead and ignored me.

Good, I took out my phone and muttered, "Looks like we have a thief at home, I should call the police."

Hearing this, my mother-in-law had no reaction, but Lu Jiamei panicked, "Calling the police over such a small matter, aren't you wasting police resources?"

Seeing her daughter's reaction, my mother-in-law also chimed in, immediately supporting her.

"Exactly, if the neighbors see the police at our door, they might think something is wrong in our house. Your necklace must be at home, maybe if you search properly, you'll find it."

"But I want it back now. I put it in the drawer last night, untouched. If it's missing, it means someone sneaked into my room and took it. I'll count to three, if the person who took my necklace doesn't return it, I'll call the police directly, and you'll have to explain to them."

"Sister-in-law, why are you..."

"One."

"It's just a broken necklace..."

Facing Lu Jiamei's tantrum, I remained calm, "Two."

"Three."

As I was about to press the emergency button, Lu Jiaxiang knocked the phone out of my hand.

"Have you had enough? Are you going to turn the house upside down over a necklace?"

When he hit the phone, Lu Jiaxiang accidentally hit my hand.

Now my wrist was red, a sharp pain instantly taking over my senses.

I looked coldly at Lu Jiaxiang, "This is the first time you've laid hands on me. If you dare touch me again, I'll report you for domestic violence and file for divorce."

Then I turned to Lu Jiamei, "Do you think you can get away with it because your mom and brother support you? Return my necklace now, or I'll call the police."

Finally, Lu Jiamei caved in and reluctantly returned the necklace to me.

"It's just a worthless necklace, who cares."

If it's worthless, then why steal it?

Seeing this, my mother-in-law collapsed on the ground, crying, "What sin have I committed, marrying a tigress as a daughter-in-law. She comes in and disrespects her mother-in-law, causing chaos in the house, wuwuwuwu."

Lu Jiaxiang quickly helped his mother up and angrily shouted at me, "Look at how you've upset my mom? Apologize to her now!"

I glanced at them indifferently and said, "If you really think I'm not good enough, then let's get a divorce. If you don't divorce, you'll keep nagging. I'm telling you, starting today, I'm going back to my parents' home. When you're ready to divorce, come find me."

With that, I left, leaving the Lu family in a frenzy.
