Reborn, I Abandoned My Gold-Digging Son

Chapter 8

We had already moved to another city when our son called.

"Mom, are you trying to kill me? You actually called the police to arrest me?"

"I'll pay the money back! Once Lila has the baby, I'll return it to you."

"Drop the charges, or I'll leave you to rot alone without anyone to claim your body."

Thanks, but I've been through this once already.

"You're such a bastard, borrowing a mountain of debt with your father's and my identity. What? Think we’ve lived too long? Want to drive us to death?"

"We sold our only house for you, and you're still ungrateful, doing something so heartless."

"We don't need your help in the future. Pay back the money, and I'll drop the charges."

He shouted angrily, "Who told you to be useless! My classmates' parents all drive luxury cars, and you? You even had to sell the house for bride price money."

"Others can afford full payments for their houses and cars, while I have to borrow for a down payment."

"If you're poor, don't have kids. You owe me this!"

Great, so this is the reason. From the beginning, he thought all our sacrifices were something he was owed.

I had nothing more to say to him, "We've done all we can for you. Pay back the money you borrowed using our ID, or prepare for jail."

"If you end up in jail, you'll lose your child. Choose between money or your child. I'm sure you'll think it through."

He screamed angrily, "You'll die a miserable death! You'll be lonely forever!"

Once we received the money, I dropped the charges.

After all, they need to get married, have kids, and pay off the mortgage.

When relatives asked about James' son's wedding, I was sunbathing on the beach with my husband.

I had already seen their wedding on Instagram.

But I had enough sense not to attend after everything that happened.

Then a relative sent me a video of the wedding.

"Thank you all for coming to my wedding today. Thank you to my wife for giving me a home."

"From now on, my wife's family is my family."

"Today, I want to announce that I no longer have parents."

"They wanted to keep the money for themselves, stopping me from getting married and even asking me to abort the child."

"They always treated me as a tool, a tool for their retirement."

"Such people don't deserve to be parents. I now declare I am severing ties with them!"

"With such parents, I'll consider myself an orphan!"

"Their existence only reminds me not to be as selfish as they are. I will always take care of my wife and child!"

A relative sent a question mark, "What did you do for James to disown you?"
