Chapter 9

작가: Budding Hero
As it turned out, my so-called crime was that I had convinced Selina to stop being controlled by Janice.

Memories of the past few years flashed through Selina's mind.

During the first year of our marriage, Janice would often claim that she was feeling unwell and use that as an excuse to call Selina back to the Wendell residence.

Not once had I ever spoken up in protest.

That was, until she deliberately overdosed on sleeping pills on our wedding anniversary, all to call Selina away from the r

  • My Funeral Tape Ruined Her Perfect Wedding   Chapter 15

    "Selina."I moved to stand in front of her.For the first time in three years, I didn't wish for her death. Not because I still loved her, but because Dad had already died because of her, and Mom had already suffered too much. If she were to die here, everyone would say that she had died so that she could be with me, her love.As if that could erase all that she had done. Death was the easy way out. Living in suffering was the true price she had to pay.Suddenly, light flared to life in the distance. Patrick had rushed over with a team to rescue her.By the time Selina was found, she was already suffering from severe hypothermia.After being unconscious in the hospital for two days, the first words out of her mouth upon waking were, "Why did you save me?"Patrick gazed at her. "Because the rescue team Jared had fought so hard to find back then exists for one reason—to save people. We're not here to watch you end your life."A lone tear slowly trickled from the corner of Sel

    Selina liquidated all of her personal assets, and every loss the Solton family had suffered was repaid in full. Those who had lost their jobs or gone bankrupt due to Wendell Corporation's actions also received compensation.Our marital home was put up for sale, but before moving away, she stayed alone in it for three days.Hardly any of my possessions were there. After I had gone missing, she had smashed all of our photos together, threw away my clothes, and completely removed any trace of my existence from the house.However, in the deepest recesses of the closet, she found a box covered in a thick layer of dust.It was the wedding anniversary gift I had prepared before we left for what would turn out to be my final trip. Worried that she would find it before the anniversary, I had hidden it far back in the closet.Inside was a hand-knitted dark gray scarf. Due to my inexperience and lack of skill, the stitches were crooked and uneven.A letter had been tucked beneath it."Seli

    When Janice was brought into the visitation room, she looked like she had aged 20 years. The instant she saw Selina, tears spilled down her cheeks."Lina, I know that I was wrong. Please save me! The lawyer said that, as long as you can prove that I didn't truly mean what was in those emails, then I won't need to go to jail."Selina remained silent.Clutching the phone tighter behind the glass pane, Janice cried out anxiously, "This is all Zachary's fault! He tricked me! He told me that he only wanted to chase Jared away! "I didn't know that he would forge those fake ledgers, much less that he would take that 50 million dollars for himself!"You're my daughter. Can you really bear to see your own mother die in prison?"Selina simply stared at her for a moment before suddenly asking, "What were you thinking when Jared was carrying you out of the valley?"As Janice blinked in surprise, Selina went on, "When he tied the emergency beacon to you, did it ever occur to you that he mig

    In the interrogation room, Zachary had changed out of his wedding suit and into a detention uniform. His hair was a disheveled mess, and he looked nothing at all like the polished groom from before.When he spotted Selina, a glimmer of hope lit his eyes. "Lina! I knew you'd come."Selina sat down across from him, separated by a panel of glass. "You said that you were willing to come clean."The smile on Zachary's face grew stiff. "As long as you agree to hire me the best lawyer around, I can tell you everything."When Selina kept silent, Zachary chewed on his lip."I admit that I was the one who transferred the 50 million dollars. I was also the one who fabricated that divorce agreement, but I only did all that because I love you."Nevertheless, not a hint of emotion stirred in Selina's gaze."Continue."Three years ago, Zachary happened to learn that Janice had always disliked me. He deliberately approached her and began planting ideas into her head, like how I was a jinx wh

    Selina's head snapped up, and she stared at Mom."What did you say?"As Mom stared at Selina's pale face, hatred finally surfaced in her eyes."The second month after Jared went missing, a hospital contacted me. They said that an unidentified male body was found in the snow mountain near where the avalanche happened, and some of the identifying features matched Jared's. "However, at the time, you had frozen all of the Solton family's accounts, so I didn't even have the money to make a trip there to confirm things."Mom turned and headed into the apartment. It was incredibly cramped, with furniture that had seen much better days.Right in the middle of the living room were two photos of me and Dad.A vase of wilted daisies had been placed before Dad's photo.As for my photo, it had been taken on our wedding day. I had my arm wrapped around Selina's waist and was smiling so widely that my eyes had turned to crescents.Selina remained by the entryway, not daring to even take a s

    The lawyer's statement was just the beginning.Following the reopening of the old case, those who had been involved in the investigation back then were brought back in for questioning again.The witness who had been bribed to give a false statement quickly admitted that he hadn't actually seen Dad transfer the company funds. The so-called secret trade he had seen was none other than a lie Zachary had told him to memorise."He told me then that the Solton family was going to fall really soon, so as long as I was willing to be a witness, he would give me three million dollars and send me out of the country. At the time, I had a gambling debt to pay off, so…"He ducked his head, not daring to continue.Meanwhile, the investigators found seven appeal letters in the sealed case files.Every one of them was addressed to Selina, yet not a single one had ever reached her.In the first letter, Dad had listed, in detail, all the errors in the account books.In the second letter, he point
