Ever since I married Myra Cowan, I started living like a beggar despite making an annual salary of a million dollars. She kept telling me, "We should hang in there for now, honey. Once we've saved enough money, we'll be able to live however we want without worrying about our financial situation." My closet was stuffed with old suits bought ten years ago. My lunches were always sandwiches, which were nearing their expiry dates, bought from convenience stores. My friends made fun of me for marrying a woman who was addicted to saving money. But my heart went out to Myra for suffering with me in life. But when I was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer and needed money for a life-saving surgery, Myra broke down in tears and told me that all of our savings were kept in a fixed-term deposit. Before I drew my last breath, I heard Myra telling her younger brother, Dwight Cowan, over the phone in a gentle tone, "I've already transferred you the down payment for your house." When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Myra demands that I sell my gaming account in exchange for money. The monitor shows a familiar login screen. Myra can be seen standing next to me. "This account can be sold for 8,000 dollars. We can save three months' worth of expenses with this money!" I just laugh in response. In my previous life, I had done nothing but save money. In the end, all of my money became someone else's assets. Why the hell should I save money in this life? With just one click on the mouse, I reload a million dollars into the game right away. Immediately, a reddish-golden meteor shower covers the skies of the entire server. The system makes an announcement in a bold, enlarged font that gets repeated for a long time. "Player 'Void' spares no expense, inviting fair maidens from across the realms to forge a destined bond! Those who are interested are welcome to attend the Celestial Lake Gathering. A bride price of one million awaits—offered in exchange for a single, sincere heart."

Ms. Becker set down her pen and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry. We'll definitely take on your case and secure the money that rightfully belongs to you."I nodded and signed my name in the client section. Each stroke of the pen felt decisive, as if I weren't just signing a contract, but finally cutting through the life of lies I'd been trapped in.By the time I left the law firm, dusk was approaching. My phone rang again. This time, it was Myra's mother, Deena Kerr.As soon as the call connected, a torrent of tearful curses came through."Glenn, you heartless ingrate! After everything Myra has gone through to keep this family together since marrying you, is this how you repay us? Dwight is just a child—he doesn't know any better. How could you send him to jail?"You go and drop the charges right now, or I'll die right in front of you! Let me tell you, if Myra divorces you, with her looks, she can easily find someone better. But you? You think your seven-figure salary

Dr. Hickman's expression turned serious. "Young man, that's not nourishing your stomach at all. Ingredients like ginger and pepper are spicy and warming, so they can be irritating."An occasional pinch is fine for most people, but long-term, heavy intake can damage the stomach's lining. In your case—" He shook his head and wrote out a test order. "Let's start with a gastroscopy."Lying on the examination table, I felt the anesthetic enter my vein. And in that instant, my awareness faded away.In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the day of diagnosis in my previous life. The cold instruments, the doctor's pitying look, and Myra sobbing with her face buried beside me all came flooding back.Looking back now, how much of those tears were real, and how much were an act?I didn't know how much time passed before someone gently woke me. My stomach was still numb from the anesthesia, but my heart was already clenched tight.Dr. Hickman looked over the freshly printed gastroscopy r

Officer Holt looked at Dwight, whose face was deathly pale. "How old are you?""I-I'm 17 years old," Dwight replied through chattering teeth."Do you know where this money came from?""My brother-in-law earned it.""And did you obtain his permission to use it?"Dwight looked at Myra in terror. Myra's lips moved, but no words came out."It seems not." Officer Holt closed the folder and continued seriously, "Dwight, you are suspected of using another person's identity to make substantial unauthorized purchases. You'll need to come with us to the station for questioning, and a guardian must accompany you.""No! Don't take me! Myra, save me!" Dwight howled, clinging desperately to Myra's leg.Myra completely broke down. She suddenly turned and fell to her knees with a thump."Glenn, I beg you, for the sake of our marriage, please say it was a misunderstanding. Dwight can't have a criminal record! It would ruin his entire life!"Tears and snot streamed down her face as she banged

"You gave him permission to throw away the money I earned working overtime until my stomach bled into a virtual game just to watch it vanish? Myra, does your permission erase the fact that Dwight accessed and used a large sum without my consent?"Does it change the nature of this money being maliciously consumed? Or do you think a judge would agree that a wife can unilaterally take her husband's hard-earned life savings and let her underage brother squander it all in a game, while the husband has no choice but to silently endure it?""I—" Myra was completely speechless, her body beginning to tremble uncontrollably."Myra!" Dwight panicked too. "What do I do, Myra? Are the police really going to arrest me? I don't want to go to jail! Myra, say something!"Sobbing and sniffling, he crawled over and clung to Myra's leg.Myra was also at a loss. She looked at me, her eyes filled with both pleading and resentment."Glenn, you can't do this! You'll ruin him. He's not even an adult yet—
