Chapter 3

Autor: Anonymous
Anna’s case was somewhat urgent. Lucas was trying his best to help her.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find me at all.

The secretary timidly updated him in his office.

“The victim’s family suddenly hired a new lawyer, and he’s really hard to deal with.

“They seemed to have some key evidence, so it’s not looking good for Ms. Miller…”

“Lawyer?” Lucas sneered. “What lawyer? I don’t believe we can’t buy him with money. Ask him to meet me. I’ll talk to him personally.”

He confidently walked into the cafe.

But when he saw the person sitting opposite him, his expression changed.

“Sawyer? It’s you?”

I was also a little surprised.

Sawyer White was my classmate from university. He had pursued me for a really long time.

However, I was in love with Lucas at that time, so I had rejected his multiple confessions.

Lucas also knew about these advances. Since then, he had been hostile toward Sawyer.

But it seemed like Sawyer was expecting to see him.

He slowly stirred his coffee. He slowly looked up with a sneer.

“Why are you surprised?”

Lucas’ expression turned cold immediately. “When did you return to the country?”

“Yesterday. I heard that you had something to do with this case, so I immediately booked an air ticket.”

Sawyer put down his teaspoon. His gaze turned sharp.

Lucas met his gaze without any fear. “What do you mean?”

Sawyer smiled. “Nothing, I just feel like I must win this case.”

“Sawyer! You’re still targeting me after so many years?”

“Targeting you?”

Sawyer calmly leaned his back against the chair and shook his head.

“You’re overthinking this. I just want justice for them.”

Lucas was too agitated to notice Sawyer had used the word ‘them’ at all.

He sneered and gestured in rage.

“Stop pretending to be just. You’re just taking revenge on me!”

After he said that, he seemed to have an epiphany as he suddenly stared at Sawyer.

“You’re after me like a hound. Are you the father of that rascal?

“Are you planning to take me down, and then live your best life with Joan, right?”

Sawyer was stunned.

He stared at Lucas. His gaze turned from shock to sympathy. In the end, he looked baffled.

“Lucas… do you actually not know who’s the father of the child?”

Lucas frowned. “What are you talking about?”

Sawyer did not answer him. He stood up promptly and said before he left, “Joan must have been blinded by love to have married such a man like you.”

After he said that, he left without looking back.

Lucas stood in his place with a dark expression. He was still muttering angrily, “Get off your high horse! You’re just a bitter bachelor that no one wants…

“You’ve remained single for so many years because you’re lusting after someone else’s wife!”

I was floating beside him. I stared at Sawyer as he left, then looked at Lucas’ furious expression. I was truly once blinded by love.

There was once a time when I thought that he was the gentlest person on earth.

However, it turned out that he was a man who would abandon his morals for a dishonest woman.

  • My Cheating Husband Took Revenge For Me   Chapter 11

    It was drizzling in the cemetery. Sawyer was holding a black umbrella as he stood before mine and Gracie’s graves. He laid a bouquet of white roses down. “It’s finally over. Lucas’s dead.” The rain passed through my transparent soul and fell onto the newly engraved tombstone. [Here lies a good mother and her forever adorable little princess.]When Sawyer turned around and left, I suddenly saw a familiar figure nearby. Lucas’ soul stood underneath a tree. He was staring timidly in my direction. Gracie, who had finally found me, leapt down from my embrace and ran toward him. I did not move. When Lucas crouched down and extended his trembling hands to hug her, I walked over. “Mommy!” Gracie tugged on my shirt. “Daddy’s crying…” Lucas looked up as tears streamed down his face. He wanted to say something, but he could not make a sound. I looked at him and recalled the rainy day from a long time ago. He was sharing my umbrella, and his eyelashes were wet from the rai

  • My Cheating Husband Took Revenge For Me   Chapter 10

    Lucas was sentenced to death due to his multiple crimes, including homicide. Even more tragically, he was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. He could have applied for bail to get it treated, but he rejected it. He said that it was his penance. I floated on the ceiling of the prison hospital room and looked at Lucas as he curled up in bed. His hair had gone gray, and he was extremely thin. However, he was grabbing our wedding photo tightly. He was smiling so charmingly in the photo. In the photo, I was looking at him like a fool in love. “Joan… Gracie…” He was mumbling our names again. I saw him wilt over the course of three months. The cancer had ravaged his body, but something told me that it was not the cancer that killed him. It was his memories. Every time when he was throwing up, he was crying. Every time he was sleeping, he was calling out for Gracie. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he would reach out his hand toward the moon outside t

    Lucas locked Anna in the basement. The air was cold and wet, and it smelt bloody and rotten. Lucas sat on a wooden chair and lightly tapped his fingers against the handle. He stared coldly at the woman who was curling up on the ground. Anna no longer looked human. All of her fingers were broken, and her fingertips were covered in thin needles. Blood had dried on her face, and her lips were cracked. Her voice sounded hoarse. Just like me in the past. “Lucas… I beg you… Please let me go…”Her desperate voice sounded like she had been through hell. Lucas was lost in thought for a while, then suddenly laughed. “Let you go?”He stood up and slowly walked toward Anna. His presence felt imposing. “Did you let Joan go?“Did you let Gracie go?”Anna was shaking, and her bloody tears streamed down her face. “I’m wrong… I know I’m wrong… I’m just too afraid… I don’t want to go to prison…”Lucas crouched down and grabbed her face, forcing her to look at him. “Are you a

    When the court announced the verdict, the whole room was eerily silent. “Due to insufficient evidence, the defendant, Anna Miller, will be dismissed with a fine of fifty thousand dollars.”The judge hit the gravel, and Sawyer stood up abruptly with a dark expression. He stared furiously at Lucas, and it felt as though his anger could burn the whole place down. “You don’t even care about your own daughter?”Lucas remained seated without saying a word. He had won. The plans he had laid out for Anna had been perfect. But the truth was, he had lost completely. Outside the court, Anna rushed out happily and hugged him. “Lucas! We’ve won! I knew you’d help me!”Lucas pushed her away slowly and expressionlessly. Anna was momentarily stunned, then she smiled and said, “Why? Are you too tired? Let’s go, I’ll treat you…”“Anna, have you known that Gracie was my daughter for a long time?” Lucas’ voice was very soft, but it sounded like a sharp dagger. Anna felt as if her t

  • My Cheating Husband Took Revenge For Me   Chapter 7

    Lucas really could not abandon Anna. He had almost exhausted all of his network and resources to make sure Anna would come out unscathed. He hired the best team of lawyers and made sure the alibi and evidence were infallible. He even sent someone to contact the victim’s family as he wanted to pay them to shut up. However, weirdly, he could not seem to contact them. On the day of the court hearing, Lucas sat in the public gallery. He was so anxious that his fingernails dug into his palms. He stared at Anna, who was sitting at the defendant’s table. Her face was pale as she kept looking at him from time to time with expectation and reliance. Just like every other time when she caused problems, he was the one who picked up after her. The judge hit the gavel, and the court officially commenced. When the prosecutor presented the case, Lucas’ mind started to wander. He snapped back to attention when a name was suddenly announced. “The victim, Gracie Anderson.”His hear

    After Lucas learned the truth, he stumbled back to his car. This was the first time I saw him so disheveled. He seemed like a zombie. He sat in the driver’s seat while trembling. He kept mumbling the same sentences. “Is Sawyer telling the truth?“Is… Joan really dead?“Is… Anna lying to me?”His brain was buzzing, as if something was tearing at his nerves. He could not breathe. At the same time, his cell phone suddenly started ringing. It was a call from Anna. He saw the name on his phone screen. His finger paused mid-air, and he did not answer. The call ended, and she called him again. When she called for the third time, he finally took a deep breath and answered the call. Anna sounded obviously anxious and upset over the call. “Lucas! Where have you been?“I was looking for you for half a day. Did you manage to get any updates on Joan’s whereabouts?”Lucas tried to talk, but his throat was dry. “Anna… Joan’s dead.” He was met with a sudden silence. Af
