Back then,Emily used him as a threat to get a large sum of money from Mark Johnson.Then she brought him to her hometown and casually threw him on the side of the road.
Coincidentally,a couple who couldn't have children picked him up and took him home to raise him.
Unexpectedly,two years later,when Emily came back,she found that her child was being raised by someone else.
She immediately claimed that this was her lost child.Emily threatened Jack's adoptive parents.
If they wanted Jack to continue being their son,they had to give her five hundred thousand dollars.Otherwise,she would accuse them of child trafficking.
Jack's adoptive parents didn't have that much money,so they had to let Emily take him back.
Truly,like mother,like daughter.Emily's family completely ignored Jack.Only his adoptive parents secretly brought him food.Later,his adoptive parents had a child through IVF and gradually paid less attention to Jack.
In the following years,Jack moved out and started working to support himself,but he often had nothing to eat.
When Emily learned that Jack was earning money on his own,she came and forcefully stuffed him with a"mentally-challenged"wife who was pregnant,just for the five hundred thousand-dollar dowry from the woman's family.His life became even more difficult.
After he finished speaking,Mark Johnson was already furious.I believe that if Emily appeared at this moment,Mark Johnson would definitely tear her apart.
I looked at Jack and said,"She treated you like this.Do you want to take revenge on her with us?"
Jack thought for a while and finally agreed to our request."Emily still has videos to threaten other men.Can you help us steal them?"
Before Jack could answer,Mark Johnson,probably not wanting his son to be in danger again,pointed outside and said,"I'll go steal them!You just wait for me."
I hesitated for a moment and said,"But what if Emily's parents send the files to her again at this time?Won't all our efforts be in vain?"
Jack saw me and Mark Johnson arguing and immediately lowered his head."Actually,I know there's a hole that can lead to her house.When I was a kid,I used to crawl through the tunnel in that room to go to my adoptive parents'house to ask for food."
I looked at the time.It was only a little after eight o'clock in the evening,and it was still early.We planned to go in late at night.Now we should have a good rest and prepare for the night's action.
At two o'clock in the morning,Jack led us to an open space behind Emily's house.There was a manhole cover that looked thick but was actually very thin.
I guessed that this secret passage was dug by Emily because she had done too many bad things and was afraid that someone would block her way.
We slowly climbed in.When we reached the top,we found a steel plate blocking the way.The steel plate fell down with a gentle push.Presumably,the cement around the steel plate had aged and cracked.
We jumped down one after another.According to Jack,this room was the basement of her house.We saw a computer and a solid-state hard drive.To avoid missing anything,we decided to take everything away.
The three of us took the computer and the hard drive and left.Before Emily found out,we had to go back immediately.
We took turns driving and finally returned to New York eight hours later.We immediately went to the police station and handed over all the materials to the police.
To speed up the court session,I called my uncle."She doesn't have anyone's handle now.Have you found a lawyer team?"
My uncle said in surprise,"Good job,kid!You young people really know how to handle things.She's been in New York for so many years without getting caught,but today she's going to fall into your hands."
"Don't worry.We've sorted out all the evidence.But your bride price plus the money for the bag is only four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.At most,she'll be sentenced to ten years."
I then told my uncle everything about how Emily treated Mark Johnson's son,Jack.
"Ethan,I'm sure her sentence this time will be extremely severe!Everyone has been oppressed by her for so long.This time,it won't be just ten years.The minimum will be life imprisonment."
