Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That man was a doctor and had more than a hundred million. How could he lie to her about such a small sum of money?

June found her old friends who had shopped, eaten, and played cards with her before and finally gathered 3-5 million dollars. She quickly transferred it to her investment account immediately. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was filled with hope that she could take out the 7 million dollars together, she could not. She kept refreshing her cell phone page and thought that it was because her cell phone had hanged.

She quickly wanted to call the man to ask what was going on, but she realized that she had already been blocked and deleted by him. June immediately collapsed to the ground, trembling.

Sharon couldn’t get through to Wallace, and she couldn’t find June when she got home. She could only call her again and again. This time, the call finally connected.

“Mom, where are you?” Sharon asked anxiously.

June burst into tears. She cried the entire time. Sharon didn’t hang up the phone but waited for her to finish crying. She said softly to her, “Mom, I’ll accompany you to the police.”

After arriving at the police station to register, June sat on the police station chair in a daze. In just a short day, the seven million dollars she had accumulated and borrowed from everywhere was gone.

That man even called her in the morning and said to her affectionately, “June, I missed you so much.”

In the end, in just one day, her love was gone, and so was her money.

She felt like the biggest idiot in the world. She actually believed in the love promised by a man she had never met. Now that she thought about it, everything he said was fake.

The police confirmed her thoughts. “There are a lot of such telecommunication scams nowadays. A ‘pig-slaughtering plate’ like this is a scam that specializes in selecting women who yearn for love. They use their disguises to get close to these women and use the skills they’ve learned in their intra-group training to gain their trust. Then, they make use of this trust and the greed of people who want to make quick money.”

“Officer Lee, is there a possibility of getting back the money that was cheated?” Sharon asked.

“It’s almost impossible to chase them back. These scammers are all overseas now. From finding the target to sending people to chat with them using skilled words, as well as the money-laundering later, they are all organized and there is a division of labor.”

Sharon nodded. Although it was a small loss for Sharon, it was still good to use this matter to teach June a lesson.

“If the scammers are all overseas, can’t we catch them?” Sharon asked in confusion.

“Once it involves foreign countries, it’s not that simple. It’s an infringement of another country’s sovereignty for the police to enforce the law in another country. To catch criminals in foreign countries, we can only negotiate through cross-border law enforcement between the two countries. If we don’t get the other party’s permission, we’re no different from ordinary tourists. We can only let the other party’s police catch them. Moreover, there has to be sufficient evidence for cross-border cases. It’s not that simple.”

“These liars are too hateful,” Sharon said through gritted teeth.

“Many of those who work as scammers overseas were also scammed to work overseas. They thought that they could earn big money overseas, but in the end, they might not even be able to keep their lives.”

“Those scammers should save the money they have scammed to buy their own coffins. These damn liars!” June cried bitterly. She felt that she was too stupid. She hated those liars to the core.

The man who had lied to her deserved to die. Those scammers deserved to die.

“I really want to die.” June had mixed feelings. She really wanted to die.

Now, she could not tell her husband and son about all her pain. Only this daughter-in-law she usually despised stayed by her side.

Sharon only patted June’s shoulder gently and didn’t say anything.

It was already night when she left the police station. Sharon drove home.

Sharon glanced at June in the rearview mirror. She was sitting in the backseat of the car and looking at the street outside the window, still crying.

Sharon felt that June was quite pitiful. Not only had she been cheated of money, but she had also been cheated of her feelings. However, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Earning money was not an easy task to begin with. If she hadn’t wanted to earn easy money because of her greed, she wouldn’t have been cheated. Moreover, she didn’t listen to advice and was cheated of another 3-5 million people..
