The Dead Wife He Came to Sacrifice Chapter 10
That year, a heavy snowfall blanketed Haddon. Snowflakes drifted through the shipyard's crumbling roof, settling over Timothy's already emaciated body.His lips were purple from the cold, but he stubbornly gripped the amulet between his stiff fingers. Hundreds of notebooks filled with the words, "I'm sorry, Quinn," were scattered around him. His breathing became weaker and weaker. An overdose of sleeping pills, coupled with his failing heart, finally claimed his already fading life."Quinn…" Timothy struggled to open his eyes, which were blurred by the wind and snow, and looked at the corner of the tent.At that moment, his soul finally broke free from his broken body. And finally, he saw me amidst the swirling snow.I was wearing my favorite white dress when I was alive, untouched by a single trace of blood. In my arms, I held a baby whose face I couldn't see, yet who seemed to radiate a warm glow."Quinn! You've finally agreed to see me!" Timothy felt an indescribable joy. He

Timothy coughed up blood, looking as though his soul had left him. Shelly was taken away by the police, who arrived overnight. She was lying on the stretcher, with her right hand mangled. She would never be able to write again.Timothy didn't bother running. He even confessed to every crime he had committed, including violating regulations to make me take the blame for Shelly and later providing false testimony to benefit the merger.However, he used his extraordinary legal skills to shift the majority of the blame onto Shelly and the gang that had already been brought down.Ultimately, he had his law license revoked. He was also ordered to pay a hefty fine and serve a short period of probation.Meanwhile, the Leston family fell apart overnight under Timothy's retaliation and the prosecution's overwhelming evidence. They were left on the brink of bankruptcy and liquidation.Amid a lot of online abuse, Shelly was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of multiple of

Timothy laughed coldly. Then, he turned around and slowly picked up an ornament from the shelf."Tim, no! Let me explain! That call was too noisy… I-I thought she was faking it!" Shelly screamed and scrambled back. "You can't kill me! I'm the Leston family's daughter! I'm the lawyer you believe in the most! And killing someone is a crime.""The lawyer I believe in the most, you say?" Timothy retorted.He slowly approached her, his usually calm gaze filled with raging fury. "You don't deserve that. You climbed the ranks by destroying evidence and squandered Quinn's compensation money. Y-You even ignored her while she was being tortured!"You were the one who drugged me that day, weren't you? You tried to climb the social ladder, but no one liked you."He continued, "Was it fun to mess with me?" He then grabbed Shelly's long hair and dragged her to the mahogany desk."Don't you use those hands to review case files and sign forged confessions?" Like an executioner, Timothy pinned

At the end of the case file was a photocopy of a recovered communications log."Communication Records from the Night of the Incident."9:05 pm: Outgoing call to Timothy. No answer."9:12 pm: Outgoing call to Timothy. No answer.""9:18 pm: Outgoing call to Timothy. Connected. Duration: 7 seconds."9:23 pm: Outgoing call to Timothy. Connected. Duration: 4 seconds."9:30 pm: Outgoing call to Timothy. Connected. Duration: 5 seconds."There had been five outgoing phone calls. The last three calls went through, but were all disconnected immediately.Between those calls, I had spent dozens of minutes enduring blow after blow to my shattered hands and kicks to my stomach. I was fighting for my life and bleeding alone in the cold, muddy water.Timothy's expression twisted as he trembled in rage. Like a madman, he stormed into the living room. He hauled Shelly off the couch and dragged her into the study like a rag doll. "What did you do at the party six months ago? You answered my ph

Timothy was forcibly brought back to his home by his bodyguards.Shelly screamed in horror when she saw him soaking wet and his hands covered in blood.She ran over to hug him, but Timothy kicked her away, sending her crashing onto the couch. "Out! Get out of here!" he yelled.Timothy clutched the file box tightly. After driving everyone out of the study, he locked the door from the inside. He sat at the large mahogany desk, his hands trembling as he unfolded the photocopied autopsy report and the on-site investigation photos.It read, "The bones in the victim's hands were shattered from repeated blows with a blunt object. All ten fingernails had been torn off, indicating that she had been subjected to prolonged torture while she was still alive."When Timothy saw this, his breath caught in his throat. He could almost see it unfold. Inside the dark and damp shipyard, those ruthless men raised their iron hammers and struck my hands over and over again.I had used those hands to

The fallen object was a small, silver amulet, slightly bent and scorched around the edges.The dried blood on the amulet had dark stains resembling a layer of rust.On the back of the amulet, tiny words were engraved in elegant cursive. "To my sole judge, Q.S. + T.L."It bore my initials and Timothy's.Timothy's legs gave up, and he couldn't stop himself from collapsing onto the cold floor. He had commissioned that amulet from a master craftsman in Sylora six years ago, when I passed the bar exam with flying colors.It was one of a kind. The design was a heart shape engraved from the fingerprints of our ring fingers.Back then, he had gotten down on one knee and placed it in my palm. "Quinn, from now on, this will be your lucky charm in the courtroom. In my heart, you're my sole judge."Later on, when my license was revoked, he took away all my case files and legal seals. But this amulet was the only thing I refused to part with. Even when he mocked me, I never once took it of
