My Wife Erases Me in the Name of "Love"

Juliet snatched the certificate from my hand, as if afraid I would see her photo on it. Her voice softened as she said, "Matthew, I'm your sister. You're sick, and you've lost some memories. I'll hold on to these important documents for you."I lifted my eyes and met her evasive gaze. I didn't expose her lie."Fine. If she wants to act, I'll act with her," I thought.Just then, a low voice cut in, "Juliet, so this is where you are."I turned toward the sound and saw Wilson jogging over. He tripped on a loose stone and lurched forward.Juliet instinctively let go of me and grabbed him.Her sudden shove sent me stumbling into the wall. My head was already prickling with pain, and the impact made it spike sharply.Wilson held onto her hand and slid an arm around her waist, smiling triumphantly. "Thanks for catching me."Realizing what she had done, Juliet immediately pulled her hand back and looked at me anxiously."Matthew, are you hurt? Wilson's sick. If he bleeds from a fall,

Juliet's hands froze for a moment. When she turned around and saw me standing in the doorway in my sleepwear, she frowned and looped a scarf around my neck."It's freezing in the middle of the night. Why are you dressed so lightly?"I ignored the question and asked again, "Were you looking for something?""Yeah. I wanted to borrow your suit. Wilson wants to wear it for the wedding."She added, "You might've forgotten. It's the one you wore at your own wedding."I stared at her in silence.Of course, I hadn't forgotten. She designed that suit for me herself.From sketch to final stitching, it took two full months. If I had to put a price on it, it was worth at least 500 thousand dollars.And she did all of it simply because I once casually said, "I wish I had a one-of-a-kind suit."Now, she wanted to take that same suit and use it to perfect another man's wedding.It was almost laughable. So, I asked deliberately, "Is that suit really that important? Why does it have to be tha

Juliet's face was drained of all color. Panic flashed in her eyes as she strode up to Ethan, forcing herself to sound steady. "Is what you just said true?"Ethan let out a cold laugh. "Why would I show up here to spin lies for fun? You're so full of yourself. It's no wonder Matthew walked away."You know what he told me? He hates his own weakness. He hates that he loved you so much that he couldn't let go. So thank you for forcing that pill down his throat. It finally gave him a way out."His words shattered the last bit of composure she had left. Her voice trembled. "W-Where is he now?"Ethan looked at her with open contempt, lifting his chin in a taunting challenge. "Weren't you the one going on and on about how much you loved him? If you love him that much, go find him yourself then."Juliet's fist tightened. She threw her bouquet aside and bolted toward the exit."Juliet! Juliet! Don't go! Our wedding isn't over!"Wilson hurried after her. His dress shoes pounded against the

Ethan finally lifted his head from the mountain of files, looking like he was on the verge of tears. "Matthew, go wait for me in the cafeteria. I'll be there in a bit."I sighed helplessly. "Fine. Just hurry."But the moment I stepped out of Tosperus Institute's doors, a hand clamped around my arm.I turned around, and a strikingly beautiful face was suddenly right in front of me. The woman looked like she hadn't slept all night. Dark circles were under her eyes, her lips were drained of color, and her whole body was exhausted.Her bloodshot eyes locked onto mine without blinking. The intensity startled me, and I instinctively tried to pull away, but she refused to let go.Annoyed, I clicked my tongue, pulled out some bills from my bag, and shoved them into her hand."I only have this much on me. Is it enough?"Her lips tightened, only then realizing I had mistaken her for a homeless woman."I don't want your money."My patience, which had already been thin, started fraying. "

Juliet turned away and walked off, looking completely defeated.Once she was gone, Ethan finally let out a long breath. "Matthew, I'm honestly relieved to see you this clear-headed. Juliet has been out of her mind lately. I never realized she could be this unhinged."He leaned in and rambled on for a bit.Through him, I learned that Wilson had been squeezing money out of her under the excuse of medical bills. After discovering the truth, she took him to court in one decisive blow.Because of his massive debts, he had no choice but to take odd jobs to survive. And with Juliet quietly blacklisting him, no company dared to hire him anymore.Ethan snorted. "She straight-up pushed him off a cliff. She used to act like he was the center of her universe, and now she tosses him like trash. A woman this volatile? Good riddance. She never deserved you."His bluntness made me laugh. That was when Carleigh finally arrived, grasping my hands with excitement. "We tested the samples. The result
