Chapter 24 My Wife Cornered by My In-Laws

My Wife Cornered by My In-Laws

Cheating photos were carelessly scattered on the desk.

In the photo, Rina was smiling at her beloved senior with flushed cheeks.

That smile was something she used to show only to me.

But now it was directed at someone else.

Strangely, however, I didn’t feel angry.

On the contrary, it was Rina who showed her anger.

“This is the photo Hana took?! Why is a photo she took here?! This is an invasion of privacy! I’ll sue her instead…!”

Is she trying to cover up her own guilt by making Hana-chan, her sister, the villain?

Besides, I think she should look at herself.

Just as I was about to snap back at Rina, the living room door suddenly opened.

“I gave it to my brother-in-law… Is there a problem?”

“Hana…?!”

There was Hana-chan, giving her sister a cold look.

I made several preparations to divorce Rina.

One of them was to contact Hana-chan and ask her to come over.

Of course, there’s a good reason for that. It’s because—

“We’re here too, you stupid daughter.”

“Nice to meet you, Makoto-kun.”

“D, Dad…? Mom too…? Wh, why are you here!?”

That’s right, I had Hana-chan bring my in-laws.

Knowing the stubborn Rina, she would never admit her mistake.

So I consulted Tokudou-san and asked Hana-chan in advance to get help from my in-laws.

My in-laws readily agreed and came to convince Rina to give up.

Rina’s face became even more pale during their visit.

Just like Hana-chan, my in-laws gave her a cold look.

“I heard everything. My daughter is so disappointed.”

“I-it’s not like that! Dad, please listen to me!?”

“Enough excuses. We have evidence here, so admit what you’ve done.”

“Gah…!”

Rina’s eyes welled with tears as she made a pained expression at the two who had cut her off so bluntly to prevent her from making excuses.

Hana-chan approached her and then swung her arm, slapping Rina hard across the cheek.

“…!?”

Rina, who hadn’t expected to be hit, widened her eyes and stared blankly, her hand touching her slapped cheek.

However, she quickly recovered and glared at Hana-chan.

“Wh, what are you doing…!?”

“What do you mean, it’s a slap?”

“That’s not what I mean! Why did you slap me? Just because you’re my sister, you think you can hit me!?”

“I didn’t do it for any particular reason. Well, there is a little bit of personal feeling involved… But this is also for my brother-in-law and our parents. Do you understand? We’re angry.”

“Ugh….”

Rina was too intimidated by the cold tone of Hana-chan’s voice and the dark atmosphere that forbade any retort.

But Hana-chan continued mercilessly.

“And you said something about whether I, as your sister, can hit you, Nee-san? Do you still consider me family? We are becoming strangers, you know?”

“Ha…?”

Looking completely confused, Rina asked again, her body shaking.

“Wh, what do you mean…?”

“Oh, don’t you understand? I… no, we are saying that we are cutting ties with you.”

“Ha, haa…?!”

Rina’s parents nodded in agreement with Hana-chan’s statement.

Never expecting to be disowned by her family, Rina widened her eyes in panic.

“Wh, why…?!”

“…Why, you say? Are you serious? You have not only betrayed my brother-in-law but us as well.”

“I didn’t mean to betray you….”

“This is a clear betrayal. We approved of your marriage to my brother-in-law. But in just three years, you took a liking to another man and cheated. This means that you have also betrayed our trust.”

“I, it’s not….”

“There is no difference. Not satisfied with that, you took advantage of my kind brother-in-law and insulted him. You know we can’t forgive that.”

“I, I didn’t mean to insult him….”

Unable to effectively counter Hana-chan’s logical argument, Rina lost her voice and was unable to make excuses.

Frustrated that her sister had told her off so bluntly, she turned her attention to her parents.

If she couldn’t reason with her sister, she planned to appease her parents.

But that was a bad move. Rina herself had said that her parents were strict. The possibility was almost zero.

It seemed that she was so backed into a corner that she had forgotten even that.

“D, Dad! Mom! I didn’t mean it like that…! I was just a little bored, that’s all…! I wanted a little excitement…! You two will understand, right?”

Rina babbled stupid excuses like a child.

Ryohei-san, with a blue vein popping out on his forehead, slapped Rina. And it was on the opposite side from where Hana-chan had slapped her.

“Gah…?!”

“Enough of your nonsense. What do you mean, you were bored? That’s not it, is it? Makoto-kun did everything he could to prevent that. You’re the one who lost interest in him after everything he did for you.”

“That’s right. You didn’t show affection for the person who loved you, and you insulted him and even cheated on him. I don’t understand. Even if we get bored, we will probably never forget our love. That’s what a married couple is.”

“…!”

With Mana-san’s words of support for Ryohei-san, Rina finally seemed to realize something.

But it was already too late. She had to experience more despair.
