The Second Chance Exposé

I slowly started to piece together the timeline upon recalling what William said over the phone earlier.In my past life, Karen always used me as an excuse every time she met up with Wilbur, saying that I needed her to do something.Sometimes she would claim that I wanted to eat eclairs from Nord Bakery and that she needed to go get them for me. Other times she would claim that I refused to eat the food she made, so she had to go out to buy food for me.Karen would be gone for hours every time she went out. She would be out of breath, sweaty, and disheveled whenever she came back. On top of that, the things she said she would buy for me were never bought.Her excuse would always be the same, telling me that the things I allegedly wanted were sold out in the store. She would claim she was late because she ran to several stores knowing that I was craving them, but they were all sold out.On this very day in my past life, Karen went out under the pretense of buying bread for me. In r

As expected, Karen pointed at me the next moment and shouted, "It's her! She's the mistress!"She even took out the wrinkly prenatal check-up form in order to convince Annie. "I have proof—the name on the prenatal check-up form is hers! She's here for a prenatal check-up because she's pregnant with your husband's child."After that, Karen gave William a sorrowful look. She then said regretfully, "I'm so sorry, Will. I found out that Lucy was cheating. I know how hard things have been for the both of you, so I decided not to bring it up if she just ended the relationship."The reason I've been going out so often was to handle all this for her. I'm sorry for the entire misunderstanding—it's all my fault!"With the performance Karen put on, it was such a pity she wasn't in the entertainment industry. She completely twisted the truth with just a few words.William stared at me in shock before turning to look at the prenatal check-up form. Disappointment and anger swirled in his eyes a

My expression fell, and I tried my best to stay calm. "Aren't you being too quick to label me as the mistress? You have no evidence, yet you're doing so just based on the words of others. What's next then? Are you planning to beat me to death in public? Do you really have that much power?"Once again, the bystanders erupted in a flutter of chatter.Someone said, "She's right; there's no evidence at all. What if there's more to the story? We shouldn't jump to conclusions yet."Another replied, "That's right! I've seen similar news before—some human traffickers sold someone off to Northern Monna under the excuse of beating a mistress up. Are they doing the same now?"I pushed away Annie's subordinates and stood back up.Annie's face flushed in embarrassment upon being called out by me. Gone was her arrogant attitude as she stuttered, "S-Someone told me the mistress was here for a prenatal check-up. I'm just not sure who the sly woman is."I said nothing, smiling slightly. "I know

My expression turned cold as I pointed out a flaw in Karen's words. "Did I ever say that you're the mistress? I didn't, so why are you taking the blame on yourself? Or are you actually guilty? Is that why you're desperately trying to prove yourself?"Karen was about to retort but realized that she couldn't come up with a reply. She then fell silent.I shot a sharp glance around the room. Embarrassed, the bystanders lowered their heads when they realized what I said. Even William was at a loss for words.I pushed past everyone while they quietened down, walking briskly over to the frost desk of the repair shop.I found the staff and said, "I want to check the surveillance footage. Did you not notice someone tampering with a car in your shop without any legitimate reason?"It's just the dashboard camera this time, but what if someone tampers with the brakes and causes an accident while I'm on the road?"The staff looked horrified, trembling as he called for the manager. The manag

Annie also noticed how Wilbur wetted himself. She sneered, "What a coward!"She went on, "Have I ever done anything to you, Wilbur? I supported you wholeheartedly when you said you wanted to start a business. I was even the one who paid off your debts when you lost them all and never once blamed you."You told me you liked my short hair, so I stopped growing my hair for you. You told me you loved my cooking, and I've never ordered takeouts to brush you off."But look at how you've been treating me—you've been cheating with an old hag who's even got a married son! You guys are even having so much fun."Annie said, "I'll just consider all these years my mistake. I'm telling you, we're done for good!"Wilbur's knees went weak when he heard her. He cried uncontrollably, slapping himself repeatedly while begging her for forgiveness.Annie only gave him an exhausted glance.She eventually instructed her subordinates to strip both Karen and Wilbur naked and bind them together with a ro
