However, from June’s anxious tone on the phone, she knew that something must have happened. She was a little speechless. June wanted to take money from her but she still wanted to hide the truth from her.

“Mom, I can only help you if you tell me the truth.” Sharon held back her unhappiness and tried to communicate with June.

can only help you if you tell me the truth.” Sharon held back her unhappiness and tried to communicate with June.

“Oh my, I’m making an online investment. There’s a problem with the account. I have to invest another three and a half million before I can withdraw the money I invested previously.”

June didn’t want to tell Sharon at first. Once she found out that she was investing online, wouldn’t she have to tell her about her online date? Although it was a spiritual affair and she had never met that man, it was still embarrassing.

Although she felt that James was a good-for-nothing, they had been together for so many years and he had always been obedient to her. She did not want her to be unable to raise her head in front of him.

“What online investment?” Sharon felt that it was unreliable.

“It’s just an investment and financial management recommended by a friend.” June originally wanted to hide her relationship with that man from Sharon.

“What friend?”

“Oh dear, it’s just a friend. You don’t know him.”

Sharon recalled that among the people who often hung out with June, she had never heard of anyone who knew how to invest and manage money. “I don’t remember you having any friends who know how to invest.”

“Just a friend I met online. Are you going to help or not?”

“Mom, if you want me to help you, you have to tell me everything in detail.” When Sharon heard that it was a friend she had known from the Internet, she knew that she must have been deceived. “Then I’m telling you, you have to transfer the money to me.”

“Tell me first. Don’t hide anything.”

June told Sharon the entire story from beginning to end. She didn’t mention the ambiguous relationship between her and that man, but Sharon had already guessed everything.

“Mom, listen to me. You’ve encountered online fraud. This is a

‘pig-slaughtering plate’ in online fraud. The news has reported it before. You’ve been deceived.”

“What bet? Who are you calling a pig?”

Sharon was so angry that she laughed. She explained, “Mom, I’m not calling you a pig. This is an emerging online telecommunications scam. There are criminal gangs committing crimes. First, they will gain your trust by chatting with you. Then, they will trick you into investing on the grounds that they will bring you to invest in finance. When the amount of money you invest reaches a

certain amount, they will run away with the money and can’t be contacted anymore.”

‘What? Telecommunications fraud? A gang crime?’

June felt that it was too ridiculous. Sharon was just exaggerating. She said this because she didnt want to give her money. “Alright, stop talking nonsense. It’s fine if you don’t want to give me money. I don’t have a useless daughter-in-law like you.”

June hung up angrily and saw a message on her cell phone. “June, you have to hurry up and raise the money. I’m already stalling for time with the customer service. The customer service said that they won’t close your account for the time being, but if you can’t raise the money before eight tonight, you won’t be able to withdraw the money you invested previously.”

June was even more anxious after reading this message. She hurriedly replied, “Help me talk to customer service again. Give me some time. I’m already raising the money.”

Sharon was hung up on by June and wanted to call her back to persuade her, but June had already blacklisted her in her phone.

Sharon sighed helplessly. She knew that June had been brainwashed by that man. No matter what she said now, she wouldn’t believe her. She didn’t expect that at her age, June would still believe in love fairy tales and the dream of becoming rich overnight.

Sharon quickly called Wallace, but the call didn’t go through.

Sharon sent June a message. “Mom, don’t invest anymore. That person is really a liar. Come with me to the police.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

June didn’t believe that the man who cared about her every day was a liar as Sharon had said. It was because of her mistake that the account became abnormal. When she gathered the money and invested it, she would definitely be able to withdraw the money with interest as the man had said..
