I married Lucas Wood for five years.In the eyes of everyone else, it was clear that I loved him deeply.Investing, supporting, cooperating, and unwaveringly standing by his side.Making him a rising star in the business world.He also thought I loved him.When he looked at me, there was affection in his eyes, but behind his back, he had the audacity to keep a lover and find a mistress.He told his mistress, "I find her disgusting."I turned a blind eye to it.Only looking at that familiar face basking in the spotlight.I think if that person were still alive.He would shine just as brightly.

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I went to visit Lucas' mother.The middle-aged woman, who had taken good care of herself over the years grew a large patch of white hair.She saw me and shook the handcuffs, making a clattering nose.I looked at her for a while and took out Lucas's death certificate from my bag."Mom... I mean, Auntie."Your son is dead."Her gaze became vacant.She stared intensely at the death certificate as if trying to bore a hole through it."It's impossible."Impossible! This can't be true!!""There's nothing that's impossible; perhaps this is just karma."She pushed herself away from the table, leaning forward, and desperately asked me, "Rachel! Rachel White!

Lucas's final visit to me was probably because he had no other options left.He looked at me with red eyes and asked, "It was you, right?"You promised..."I interrupted him. "Lucas, these are two separate matters."I've said it before, both murder and embezzling company funds are illegal.”"But you promised! She's my mom, your mother-in-law, and I'm the one you married! Not Arthur!"He grabbed my shoulders and shouted with anguish, "We're not divorced yet, and Billy is still my child."Rachel, can you bear to let Billy lose his father?"If you stop now, I'll make Wendy leave, and I'll listen to whatever you say in the future. I'll also take good care of Billy, I..."I impatiently cut him off.Tears of remorse welled up on his face, gradually blending with Arthur's visage and then drifting apart again.I realized that despite Lucas having a face so similar to his, he was nothing like him at all.I positioned myself on the stairs, leaned forward, and gripped his chin firmly."Lucas, to

Unfortunately, his mother had committed more than just this one offense. Due to this incident, the mother and son's relationship had deepened. When the police came knocking, Lucas, his mother, and Wendy were in the middle of making cakes. All the ingredients were ready. A mixture of flour and butter was blended, and the creamy colors were enticing with their vivid hues.Lucas's face turned pale, and he immediately pulled out his phone to question me. However, the next words from the police left him stunned."Mrs Walsh, the police suspect you are connected to a murder case. Please come with us."These words came through the phone call.
