I won a hundred million. Without a second thought, I quit my job, the one that paid me twenty thousand a month. My husband, who earned barely six thousand, assumed I had been laid off, and in that instant, he showed his true colors. "Let's get a divorce," he said calmly. "You're not good enough for me anymore." Even my mother-in-law, who had always seemed so gentle, turned on me without hesitation. "Get out of this house," she snapped. "And take your sick daughter with you. From now on, you're on your own." That was the moment I gave up on both of them. I did not argue. I did not try to stay. Meanwhile, they were thrilled, convinced they had finally rid themselves of me and my daughter, the burdens they no longer wanted. What they did not know was that inside my bag was not just a lottery ticket worth a hundred million. There was also a diagnosis. My husband, Wade Zeller, had late-stage stomach cancer.

The private investigator I hired was worth every cent. In just half a month, he uncovered everything about Wade and that nanny.Her name was Yvette Scott. She had moved to this city two years ago.She graduated from high school and thought she was pretty attractive. After arriving in Avalon City, she worked as a dishwasher, a nightclub receptionist, and a street promoter. Eventually, she became a maternity nurse at a postpartum care center.Since she had three younger siblings, she was naturally good with kids. Her reviews from clients were actually quite positive.However, there was something strange.In every household she worked for, she never lasted more than three months, and each time, there were complaints. The reason was always the same: she failed to maintain proper boundaries with the male elders in the household.The investigator even managed to get several photos of Yvette being intimate in private with the fathers-in-law of those families.Looking at her background,

So I baked some extra cupcakes and brought along a calming sleep drink from a friend's brand.I went to thank her in person.Ann had struggled with severe insomnia for a long time. After giving birth to her third child, her body never fully recovered, and she had been stuck in a constant state of exhaustion ever since.The friend I mentioned came from a family of doctors, and she had been professionally trained since childhood, so she truly knew her craft. In time, she even went on to found her own

Me: ?"Are you serious? I live here." I rolled my eyes at him.Wade let out a mocking laugh."Did getting dumped by me finally make you lose it? You live here? Do you even know how expensive the houses are in this place?"I did not bother arguing with him. Right then, the makeup artist arrived.
