However, Ford countered, "That's not a dowry; it's a loan. Before we got married, your mom suddenly borrowed three hundred thousand from me. I couldn't come up with it, and she threatened to hide your household registration. Later, that money was given to me by Sophia..."

"My mom borrowed three hundred thousand from you?"

I was utterly shocked.

Ford insisted, "Yes. All these years, she never mentioned it, and I didn't have the heart to ask. So if you insist on divorcing, you need to help me get that money back first."

I want to divorce Ford right away, not waste another day.

If what he says is true, I should get that money back and return it to him.

So the next morning, I went back to my parents' place.

The house originally belonged to my grandpa. It was demolished and rebuilt last year, a 120 square meter place.

Now only my mom, my brother Ethan, and my 3-year-old nephew live there.

My household registration was originally there too, so I should have a share of the house.

But when it was rebuilt, my mom said they were keeping it as a wedding house for Ethan, and I should give up my share.

I was already married with my own home, so no need to fight with my brother, she said.
