Chapter 6 Once I got home , I cut off all contact with my ex - husband's family . ] Blocked every single one of them . [ ] Since I walked away from the divorce with nothing , there was no property to fight over . [ ] Which meant I never had to see those miserable faces again . [ ] By my estimate , their precious grandson was about to hit the tipping point with his illness . ] ] Cancer treatment costs a fortune as it is . Not to mention , they've always spoiled that kid rotten . ] And Cletus's wife ? Selfish as hell , always blowing through cash like it grows on trees . They barely scraped together enough for the hospital bills . ] At this rate , it's only a matter of time before they lose everything . ] ] They already threw my daughter under the bus - but would they really do the same to their precious grandson ? Not that I care anymore . [ ] After everything , I've learned to treasure this second chance life gave me . ] ] Sera , too - she started off heartbroken , but slowly began to smile again . Still , I never let my guard down . [ ] I've seen the true face of my ex's family , and I'd be a fool to forget . ] And just like i feared , it didn't take long for them to show up at my door . Barnabas and Imogene were banging like maniacs , screaming before I even opened the door . " Elspeth Carter , you heartless witch ! " ] " Get your ass out here ! " ] " You knew damn well my grandson had kidney cancer - he's in the hospital right now , and you're gonna take responsibility ! " ] ] " Open the damn door ! " ]] " Don't you hide in there , I know you're home ! " ] ] I looked at my parents . They were furious , eyes locked on me , worried . [ ] " I knew that family was bad news , " my dad muttered . [ ] " But this ? This is insane . " The pounding got louder and more aggressive . ] Barnabas was going off the rails , with Cletus adding fuel to the fire . ] Soon , the noise drew in curious neighbors . And that's when Imogene started turning on the theatrics . " Folks , y'all gotta hear this ! " This girl here - she used to be my daughter - in - law . " ] " She's the reason my grandson got sick " She lied and said her own daughter had cancer , tricked us into giving her all our savings ! " ] " Because of her , we missed the best treatment window . " They Chose Blood Over Love Now They Cry at My GRAVE 2199 Chapter 6 " Then she dumped my son like trash ! " ] " My poor grandson is dying , and this cold - blooded woman won't lift a finger to help ! " She really laid it on thick , all crocodile tears and sob stories . [ ] And sadly , most people bought it . [] They started shouting , turning on me like a mob . " How could the Carter girl do something so heartless ? " " Seriously , who lies about cancer ? " ] " She scammed them while their grandson was dying ? " ] " That's straight - up evil ! " ] Everyone was talking over each other , throwing blame without knowing a damn thing . I sat there expressionless , casually snacking on sunflower seeds . ] But my parents were livid . ] " That's it , I'm going out there to set things straight ! " my mom snapped . I stopped them . ] No point in arguing with people who just want drama . ] They didn't care about the truth - they wanted a show . I grabbed my phone and called the cops . They showed up fast . ] But when the cops arrived , Barnabas and Imogene didn't even flinch . ] They started yelling louder , dragging the cops into their mess . " You gotta arrest this whole family ! " Imogene shrieked . [] " Force ' em into surgery ! " ] ] " My grandson needs a kidney ! " [ ] I couldn't help but laugh . [] it's true what they say - some people are so shameless , nothing fazes them . I opened the door and calmly explained everything- [] From the beginning to the chaos at my front step . ] Some of the neighbors began to look unsure . [ ] Barnabas and Cletus just doubled down , still screaming insults . Luckily , the cops had common sense . They listened to both sides and figured out pretty quickly who was lying . [ ] Imogene kept running her mouth , but the cops just looked at me with this tired , almost sympathetic expression . [ ] " Well , ma'am , " one of them said , " we're gonna need everyone to come in for statements . " [ ] I didn't mind - Sera's healthy and has no kidney problems . [ ] But their golden boy ? Still stuck in a hospital bed . Realizing their tantrum wasn't getting them anywhere , Barnabas and Cletus gave me the death stare . ] Then stormed off , grumbling some lame excuse as they left .
