I just happened to come across a scene that made me feel satisfied.
That wooden door of her house wasn't closed.
I hid at the porch and watched.
Brian was punching and kicking my aunt with his bare hands,making her scurry around covering her head with her hands .
And Lily was standing aside,shivering like hell.
Brian was hitting while shouting at the same time,"You old hag!You don't want to give your daughter to me,do you?You just had to talk too much!"
My aunt was crying out in pain from the beating.
"No,no!Stop hitting me!"
Brian slapped her hard on both her cheeks."Don't think I won't hit women.Have you paid off the favor my family did for you?How dare you ruin my pleasure!You vicious old bitch."
Lily was simply terrified."What do you mean?What favor?Could it be...Mom,you already knew about this?"
In all her life, my aunt had never been beaten like this before.
She could only plead for mercy humbly,"I didn't.I don't dare.I really don't dare..."
Only then did Brian let her go.
Then he walked over and threatened Lily,"If you dare call the police,you'll really regret it."
I waited until Brian left before knocking on the door.
My aunt opened the door for me.
It was as if I had just run into her bad mood.As soon as I entered the door,she started scolding me furiously,"It's all your fault!Why didn't you go on that blind date that day?"
I looked innocent.
"What are you talking about,auntie?Isn't Brian a nice guy?And I really had something to do that day."
She stared at me menacingly."If it weren't for you...If it weren't for you,our family wouldn't have gotten involved with this man who's been to prison!"
I widened my eyes:"What!Brian has been to prison?So you're saying...auntie,that's why you introduced him to me in the first place?"
"Auntie,I respected you so much,but you did this to me!"
My parents were both in our hometown.She was taking advantage of the fact that I had no one to back me up.
That's why she dared to force that lousy man onto me.
My aunt,who had been exposed of her true intentions,came to her senses and changed her fierce attitude.
She said evasively,"How could that be,Sophia?How could I be that kind of person?I just found out about this myself."
It seemed that this old witch was still sober enough,
And she didn't plan to have a complete falling-out with me for the time being.
I immediately let out a sigh of relief."That's good.I mean,you and I are family,auntie.How could you ever think to harm me?"
My aunt smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement."Yes,yes.We're family."
I then took out my phone and opened the page of an influencer's account.
"Look,you guys.I accidentally found this.It turns out to be Brian's account."
This was something I discovered during my investigation.
What could Brian,who had just been released from prison,do to make money?
With his criminal record,he would surely encounter difficulties everywhere when looking for a job.
It turned out that,
He was making money with his good looks!
Brian,with his somewhat handsome face,
Had attracted 500,000 followers in a short period of time.
Turned out He wasn’t completely nothing after all
Lily leaned in with interest."Wow!500,000 followers!"
"No wonder he has all that money to spend even though he just got out of prison."
My aunt clearly didn't understand much about these things that young people were into.
"Does this influencer...make a lot of money?"
Lily's eyes were sparkling with joy.
"Definitely,mom!His advertising fees alone must be over 100,000 dollars a month,much higher than our salaries from working!"
My aunt didn't understand much about the Internet,
But the word “money” captured her attention real quick.
"So much!Then wouldn't he be able to buy a house outright after saving for a few years?"
The mother and daughter started chatting and imagining a bright future.
"Mom,Brian is still very generous to me.When I have money,I'll buy you a gold necklace and a jade bracelet!"
My aunt looked up,and her thoughts seemed to have drifted away.
"Yes,yes.When we've made enough money,we'll just move to another city so that Brian won't be able to find us!"
The more they talked,the happier they got.
Finally,they noticed that I was still there and quickly shooed me away.
Auntie had an old house and the walls were thin.
I could hear my aunt and Lily talking excitedly even outside the door.
"Lily,you go and get back together with Brian immediately.You have to get something out of him for me!"
"Okay,mom.I'll put on my new dress and go find him tomorrow!"
They really had the courage to imagine or agree to such a thing.
But what they didn't know was that,
Brian had another account—one that was specially used for upskirt photos of women that were taken secretly.
