Chapter 8

Penulis: Perfect Timing
When Cindy saw me approach, she subconsciously took a step back and shielded her stomach.

That one move was enough to convince me that she was pregnant with Harley's child. As she'd been forced to marry me, we'd never engaged in sexual activity, so I was absolutely certain that the child could not be mine.

It also explained why she was so willing to cooperate with the police—the law had special protections for pregnant women who commit crimes.

When Cindy heard my comment, her temper flared

  • Father‑in‑Law Died in My Wife's Game   Chapter 9

    The next time I saw Cindy, it was in an asylum three days later.The police already had sufficient evidence to prove that she had murdered Eason and maliciously instigated Harley to ram my car. However, under the law, she could be released on bail pending trial due to her miscarriage. When I learned of this, I submitted evidence to the court proving that Cindy was suffering from severe mental illness.The evidence included surveillance recordings of Cindy yelling at me and smashing things at home, as well as footage of her acting like a madwoman on the day of the funeral. Of course, the most compelling piece of evidence was from her high school years, when she raced through the city without a license, injured a pedestrian, and left him disabled for life. Back then, Cindy had avoided punishment because Eason had submitted a medical report stating she was mentally ill. With that report as evidence, the judge sentenced Cindy to life imprisonment in an asylum.I wasn't happy to

    When Cindy saw me approach, she subconsciously took a step back and shielded her stomach.That one move was enough to convince me that she was pregnant with Harley's child. As she'd been forced to marry me, we'd never engaged in sexual activity, so I was absolutely certain that the child could not be mine. It also explained why she was so willing to cooperate with the police—the law had special protections for pregnant women who commit crimes. When Cindy heard my comment, her temper flared again. She raised her hand, planning to slap me once more. Naturally, I wasn't going to let her get away with it this time. Just as she was about to strike, I quickly stepped to the side. Due to her momentum, she was unable to steady herself and staggered forward, falling to the floor face and belly first. Her screams rang out through the hall, sounding like a pig sent to slaughter. Blood began to seep from her lower body. "My stomach! My stomach!" Cindy screamed.She squirmed on the floo

    Cindy finally believed that the deceased person in the casket was her own father. She collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably as she looked at the head near her feet."Impossible! It's impossible!" she repeated over and over.I stepped forward and said, "I already told you that the person in the back seat was your father."Cindy jerked her head up to stare directly at me, looking as if she wanted to eat me alive. "You did it on purpose! You did this all on purpose, didn't you?""I was just one minute too late. If you hadn't rammed into my car with ill intent, Eason wouldn't have died! You were the one who killed him! You killed your own father! You're a murderer!" I yelled back.When Cindy heard me accusing her of killing her own father, she covered her ears in despair and continuously mumbled, "Impossible."I continued harshly, "Drop the act already. You have nothing to be sad about… After all, you secretly swapped out Eason's medicine, causing him to suffer an acute

    I thought that Cindy would arrive at the funeral parlor, guilty and grieving, after seeing the news online.While she did rush over, the moment she entered the hall and saw Eason's memorial portrait, her first reaction was to slap me across the face. Without a second thought, I took the blow without moving an inch.There were many people present, all of whom witnessed her assault me. With these witness testimonies at hand, it would be much easier to have her arrested. After slapping me, Cindy glanced around the hall and recognized several senior employees and members of the company's board of directors. She pointed accusingly at them and shouted, "Are you all out of your minds? Have you teamed up with Ian to deceive me? How fucking dare you photoshop Dad's face onto a memorial portrait? You country bumpkins are so despicable!"She then jogged up to the portrait, lifted it above her head, and prepared to smash it against the floor. An attendee named David York, who had watched Ci

    Mr. Leigh and I handled Eason's funeral arrangements together. Cindy did not show up for the funeral—not because we didn't inform her, but because she refused to answer my calls.Some of the people present were senior employees at the company, while others were our business partners. They expressed great dissatisfaction at Cindy's failure to attend the funeral.One of the more outspoken guests commented outright, "The Chapman Group will be ruined if an ingrate like Cindy were to take the reins. You have to protect the company, Mr. Jowett. We're all relying on you!"As soon as the words left his mouth, someone raised their phone and shouted furiously, "She'd rather be yachting with her lover than attend her father's funeral! She's the lowest of the low!"It turned out that Cindy had posted an intimate photo of herself and Harley kissing passionately on a yacht to social media. The photo was accompanied by the caption, "I'm willing to go against the world for you!"Both the photo

    Mr. Leigh followed me to the precinct. Fortunately, there were surveillance cameras along the route, and my car was equipped with a dashcam. Between that and the testimonies from the hospital staff, I had clear evidence that I was driving under emergency circumstances, rushing to get a critical patient to the hospital. When Mr. Leigh saw the surveillance footage, his lips trembled uncontrollably. "I-It was Ms. Chapman… Ms. Chapman deliberately got in your way… She…"We also learned from the police right then and there that it was Cindy who had reported me."Yes… If Cindy and Harley hadn't gotten in my way, Eason wouldn't have died!" I cried out.So what if I learned that Cindy was the perpetrator? It wasn't as if I could simply demand the police arrest her on a whim. Eason's soul would never find peace that way.It seemed there was nothing left for me but to let the matter rest. With a heavy sigh, I asked Mr. Leigh to inform Cindy so she could take charge of Eason's funeral a
