Lisa saw the change of situation and cursed Ruhan.
Then she frantically tried to look for an excuse.
'What do I do now!!!'
She shot daggers at Ruhan as if she wanted to kill him. He looked at her provocatively. His attitude made Lisa so angry that she had almost lost her temper.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" Mr. Ahmed frowned.
'Crying?' Lisa touched her cheeks and realized that they were really wet. She wasn't crying of course. When she is angered, tears automatically begin to pour from her eyes.
Lisa often felt annoyed at this phenomenon. She felt that crying would make her seem weak. But unexpectedly this unwanted habit would save her today.
"Why aren't you saying anything? It's already midnight. Do you think we have whole night to spend? " Mrs. Ahmed was annoyed. Of course she would not be as lenient towards her daughter-in-law as her son.
"What he said is true." Lisa looked directly into her eyes and said in a calm voice.
"Why?" Mrs. Ahmed was angry.
She always hoped that after marriage, her daughter-in-law would be able to cure the lecherous behaviour of her son. That's why she was glad that a fierce girl like Lisa became Ruhan's wife.
But if they didn't consummate their relationship and lived like a stranger.....she knew for sure that her son would involve himself in illegal affairs eventually.
Was this girl really stupid? Didn't she know how the society actually worked? Why was she not taking advantage of their honeymoon period to wrap her husband around her fingers?
Naturally Lisa couldn't see through her thoughts. If she did, she would have vomited blood.
This old ginger was really spicy ah!!!
Lisa took her acting to the next level. She blinked her eyes to force out some tears and started sobbing,
"I....I just couldn't... fffforget"
"What could you not forget?" Mrs. Ahmed became confused.
"I...I couldn't forget the way....he humiliated me...before marriage." Lisa choked.
"The hell you can't forget. Stop lying again." Ruhan was speechless to see her flawless acting...again.
"Mom...do you really believe she is that weak? She is lying."
"Shut up" Mr. Ahmed scolded Ruhan ruthlessly.
He then glanced at Lisa and spoke in a cold voice, "I think that we have already compensated you for that. We gave you a grand wedding and proper recognition and respect as our daughter-in-law. Why are you still dissatisfied? What else do you want? "
Lisa's heart trembled. It was clear that Mr. Ahmed was angry with her.
She said timidly, "Please don't misunderstand me uncle... I am really grateful for what you did for me....but.....but...."
"Speak clearly" Mr. Ahmed was impatient.
"I...all I wanted...was an apology... from Ruhan."
This time Lisa cried loudly. She looked really pitiful. Any person's heart would soften after seeing her.
And it really worked. Mr. Ahmed's expression somewhat relaxed and he wasn't that angry anymore.
Ruhan was enjoying Lisa's misfortune from the side. But when he saw the turn of events, he couldn't remain calm anymore.
"Stop bullshitting. I already gave you my properties as a form of apology. Why didn't you accept my approach then? You clearly disdain my touch. Don't try to pin this on me."
"Although the Akters are not as rich as before, we still did not fall into such a state that we have to sell ourselves for some mere properties," Lisa told Ruhan with a sharp voice.
She then turned to Mr. Ahmed, "Uncle...did you see how he usually behaves with me? All I wanted was sincere apology and respect from him as his wife. But he threw some properties at me and started to force himself on me. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel?"
Lisa started to cry again.
"Would you stop twisting my words? Ruhan became irritated.
"And so what if I forced you? I am your husband ok? I have the right to touch you."
Mr. Ahmed's expression became ugly again.
"Will you guys stop quarreling?"
Both of them became silent.
Mrs. Ahmed didn't like where the situation was going. She tried to convince Lisa.
"I understand that Ruhan has made lots of mistakes. But this time he might be really sorry. Otherwise he wouldn't have transferred the properties to you. You guys please try to sort out your problems."
"Ruhan didn't transferred any property under my name aunty...instead he opened a joint account. Apparently it seemed that he had given up his money. But it's clear that if we open joint account the money would still be under his control and I wouldn't be able to use money without his approval.
We might have lost our company... But we didn't forget our financial knowledge. Neither am I that stupid that I wouldn't see through his plan. " at this time, Lisa replied Mrs. Ahmed calmly.
Ruhan's complexion turned pale. Mr. Ahmed looked at him questioningly..but Ruhan avoided looking at him.
Mr. Ahmed glanced at the file again as his face darkened.
"Really good Ruhan...you are really good. Seems like you are becoming better at hiding yourself and scheming. Looks like you have grown a pair of wings to try to trick us like this. Tell me..how should I deal with you right now?"
