“It’s a fraud,” Penny replied calmly. “It was done to avoid dividing assets during the divorce.”
The next day, Penny visited her lawyer. Mikhail reviewed the documents carefully.
—It’s a sham transaction. The court will void it. Besides, that could have legal consequences.
“What kind of consequences?”
“Given the amount involved, serious penalties,” the lawyer replied. “And you can seek compensation for moral damages. I advise you to file the lawsuit immediately.”
That same day, Penny filed the lawsuit, without notifying Adam or his mother-in-law.
A week later, Adam received the summons. He stormed into the apartment.
“What are you doing? Do you think you’re clever?”
“I’m just restoring justice.”
“I have the right to the car!”
“A car you didn’t pay for?”
“It was community property!”
“Until you tried to cheat on the deed.”
“You’re not going to prove anything!”
“I already did. It’s all with the lawyer.”
Adam ran off. Less than an hour later, Nina arrived.
“What are you trying to do? Leave Adam without a car?”
“A car he didn’t win?”
“We’re not canceling anything! I have contacts!”
“Are you threatening me?” Penny turned on the voice recorder.
The mother-in-law froze.
“I… I was just warning you.”
“Perfect. Because I’m recording the threats too.”
That night, Adam called:
“Can we come to an agreement? I’ll give you back some of the money…”
“No. This time it’ll all be done through legal means.”
“You’re complicating things!” There was a sound of breaking glass. “Do you think you’ll get away with it?”
“What are you going to do? Sign another deed?”
“You’ll regret it!”
“Is that a threat?” Penny asked calmly.
The next day the trial began. Penny stood next to her lawyer. Adam kept nervously touching his tie. Nina sat in the front row, looking dignified.
“Please review these documents,” the lawyer said. “All the car payments came from my client’s account. The deed was signed two days after she filed for divorce: an obvious attempt to hide marital assets.”
The judge examined the papers carefully.
“Furthermore,” the lawyer added, “the defendant has accumulated fines totaling over one hundred thousand rubles. All captured by traffic cameras.”
Adam was startled.
“What fines?”
“For speeding, improper driving, and illegal parking,” the judge read. “Total: 127,000 rubles.”
“This is a mistake!” Nina shouted. “But the car is in my name!”
My father barred me from entering my own medical school graduation ceremony because my stepmother wanted her daughter to use my ticket. “You’re just a nurse’s assistant anyway, let your sister have her moment,” my father sneered, pushing me toward the exit.
I married a 60-year-old woman, despite her entire family’s objections… but when I touched her body, a sh0cking secret came to light…
Hip pain: what does it mean?
I THOUGHT MY ADOPTED DAUGHTER WAS TAKING ME TO A NURSING HOME… BUT WHEN I READ THE SIGN ON THE BUILDING, THE WHOLE WORLD STOOD STILL.
The housekeeper locked the maid and her twins inside… The millionaire’s reaction left her frozen.
