My Husband Died, the Debt Didn't Chapter 8
Evangeline grabbed Leo's hand tightly, but no sound came out of her throat.All she could do was cling to him and force out the words, "Sean… Run… Quick!"Sean had been pampered his entire life, so he was paralyzed with fear. He staggered to his feet and stumbled toward the edge of the rooftop, trying to escape.But there was no way Leo was going to let them go.With a casual flick of his wrist, he threw his knife. This startled Sean so much that he lost his footing and fell off the roof.Evangeline's pained scream echoed through the abandoned factory.By the time the police arrived, all they saw was Sean lying in a pool of blood, already dead.He had died because of his own mother's scheming, as well as the malice that had seeped into his very bones.If he hadn't insisted on targeting Shawn—cornering him near the apartment complex entrance to beat him and yell at him—Leo never would've mistaken the two boys.If he hadn't been so petty about Shawn borrowing his clothes that he

In my previous life, I had been completely preoccupied with Shawn's kidnapping, so I had no time or energy to deal with Julian's funeral.Thus, Evangeline, under the prompting of her lawyer, managed to run a paternity test.But this time, I had watched Julian being cremated until only a handful of ashes remained. And Sean had been taken by Leo, too, so even if she wanted to run a DNA test, she couldn't.Not to mention, no one knew whether Sean was even still alive at this point.Leo's call came in once again."Maribel Grant! Do you really not give a damn anymore? Where's the money? If you can't produce the cash, you can come and trade your life for your son's!"Like before, I had my phone on speaker. But this time, it was Evangeline who panicked.She snatched the phone and screamed herself hoarse, "Leo, you've grabbed the wrong kid! Sean is my son! Quick, let him go!"On the other end of the line, Leo flew into a rage. "You stupid bitch. Do you think I'm an idiot? Shawn this, a

Evangeline frantically scrubbed at the locket. "This blood has to be fake! It's not real!"She'd personally designed the locket for Sean. Now, as much as she didn't want to believe it, she had no choice anymore.I stood at a distance, watching as she lost her mind. It felt like I was looking at my past-life self.Amid her breakdown, she started frantically making calls, likely trying to reach Leo. But there was no way a kidnapper that meticulous was going to expose himself so easily.Once. Twice. Three times. None of the calls went through.Suddenly, she grabbed me by the collar and demanded, "This is revenge, isn't it? You know that Sean is Julian's son!"I frowned. "What are you talking about? How can Sean be Julian's son? Aren't you my best friend? How could you possibly have a child with my husband?"The crowd exploded with murmurs.I hadn't just invited my relatives and friends to the funeral—I'd also invited several content creators with huge followings.Phrases like "be

I had slapped and kicked Evangeline so hard that her eyes were bloodshot with fury. Before I could even finish speaking, she lunged at me."How dare you hit me, Maribel?" she screamed. "You don't have a husband or a child right now. You don't even have a house! If I hadn't let you stay at my place, you'd be out begging on the streets right now! Who do you think you are, hitting me?"The last few days, I'd been resting up at her house, conserving my strength, waiting for this exact moment. I grabbed her wrist, twisted it, and flung her aside.She crashed heavily onto the floor and couldn't get up for quite a while. She'd lived a pampered life, so she was naturally no match for someone like me, who was used to doing hard housework regularly.I didn't even have a washing machine at home. The strength I used to wring out bedsheets by hand alone was enough to put her down."Who says I don't have a child right now?" I snapped. "Shawn's doing just fine!"A look of confusion crossed he

Just then, Evangeline's son, Sean Frost, came running out of the bedroom dressed in luxury pajamas.He was two years younger than Shawn, but because he was well-nourished, he was already the same height."Why are you stinky beggars in my house?" he shouted. "If you don't have a home, go sleep on the streets!""Sean! Watch your mouth!" Evangeline chided.The irony was painful. My son and hers even had a first name that sounded the same when pronounced. No wonder they looked so alike, and no wonder Julian had never once called them by the wrong name.I didn't say anything, while Shawn was so frightened that he burst into tears.Evangeline clapped a hand over Sean's mouth and apologized to Shawn right in front of me.That night, however, I overheard her secretly provoking my son."You can't blame anyone else for getting bullied. If your mom hadn't refused to give up the inheritance, you wouldn't have needed to come to my house and walk around on eggshells!"She also encouraged Se

Seeing that I was even willing to put the house on the line, Evangeline realized I was serious and immediately flew into a rage."What good does putting the house up do? You're still short over four million dollars! How are you supposed to come up with that?"Forget about three days! You and Shawn won't even have a place to stay. Are you planning to freeze to death on the street in this weather?"As soon as she finished, she shoved a new copy of the agreement right up in my face.But I just slipped my arm through hers and pretended to be all sad and pitiful. "Evangeline, you're my best friend. I know you wouldn't have the heart to see me and Shawn end up on the streets, right?"Her eyes widened a fraction as she instinctively pulled her arm back. "I… I…"The neighbor slapped her thigh. "Maribel, your friend here looks like a really loyal friend. I remember you used to help her look after her kid before, right?"I nodded. "Yeah. Her son is about the same age as mine. They even ha
