Chapter 5

작가: Lynn Green
Zachary ripped his arm free from Vivian's grip before practically stumbling toward me. His face was deathly pale, and when he spoke, his voice was shaking.

"Sammy! Are you alright? Don't you scare me like this!"

He reached out to help me to my feet, his fingers trembling violently while panic and fear brimmed in his eyes.

Instead of looking at him, I allowed my gaze to drift past his figure to the foyer.

Two police officers stood there with grim expressions. They had witnessed everything tha

  • Turns Out His Sickly "Sister" Is His Ex   Chapter 12

    One year later, I met Jordan Goldman in my shop.He was a designer from a nearby company and would often pop in to buy flowers for his clients or his family. He was a gentle, kind, straightforward, and steady man, with a soft-spoken and polite demeanor.After learning of my past, he was even more heartbroken for me. He remembered my likes and dislikes and would always avoid ordering anything I didn't like. When it rained, he would come to my shop to fetch me home, the umbrella always tipped to cover me more than him.When I was tired, he would silently help me tidy up the shop without me even asking, not complaining even once about it. In fact, he would even tell me, "All the hardships and suffering you went through in the past were not your fault. You deserve to be treasured and given the most blissful life."It wasn't until I got together with him that I finally experienced what true love was.He was always thinking of me and putting me first, making me feel the sense of securit

  • Turns Out His Sickly "Sister" Is His Ex   Chapter 11

    After Zachary had to leave our marriage with nothing to his name and recompense me for emotional distress, he was left with absolutely nothing.He used to hold a senior position in the company and earned an excellent salary. However, after the scandal of all his crimes, the company fired him and even put him on the industry blacklist.Everywhere he went, he continued to face the public's accusations and scorn, with people labelling him a scumbag, swindler, and murderer of his own child.When he attempted to look for another job, most companies immediately rejected him once they did a background check on him. Left without a choice, he could only humble himself and work odd jobs here and there, such as doing food delivery, driving a cab, or even transporting goods.However, because he had lived such a comfortable, pampered life for so long, he wasn't able to endure even the slightest bit of hardship. Barely a few days would pass before he was fired from the job.When he decided to r

    On the day of the hearing, I dressed in simple clothes and stepped into the courthouse with Mr. Zink beside me. Zachary and Vivian also arrived with their lawyer.As usual, Vivian was dolled up extravagantly. Her eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance, as though she thought she wouldn't be sentenced for her crimes.Zachary, on the other hand, kept his head bowed low, clearly unable to look at me.Robert and Marissa were sitting in the gallery, faces twisted into scowls as they glared at me.The courtroom was solemn, with the judge sitting high above while court officers stood guard on both sides.As the hearing began, the attorneys for both sides presented their claims and defense arguments in turn.The opposing lawyer tried to argue that Vivian's depression was real and that she'd shoved me to the floor by accident. He dismissed my claims of her drugging me as baseless speculation, then insisted that Zachary had acted alone in transferring our assets and that it had nothing

  • Turns Out His Sickly "Sister" Is His Ex   Chapter 9

    Zachary went on to say a lot more things, such as how he had divorced Vivian back then due to irreconcilable differences and how he felt guilty about her losing her ability to conceive after her miscarriage. He claimed that his only intention was to look after her at first, but that slowly changed when she clung tighter to him, leaving him with no way of escaping.He said that he fell in love with me after seeing how gentle and kind I was and how I was willing to give my all to this family. However, he was just too weak and cowardly to fight back against Vivian and face his mistakes.It wasn't until I lost the baby that he realized that he had lost the most precious things to him. That was when he understood how much of a bastard he had been. He told me that he had been suffering from insomnia every night, haunted by the pain and regret, and all he wanted was to ask for my forgiveness.His remorse seemed sincere, the pooling tears beneath him on the floor a testament to how much

    Robert snorted coldly and added, "I'm warning you, you'd better drop the case! Otherwise, we'll make sure you won't be able to continue living in this city! You only just had a miscarriage, and without a husband to support you, how do you think you'll be able to survive here?"Their every word stabbed deep into my heart like a dagger. However, this time, I didn't cry or feel any sorrow, only sheer disappointment that chilled me to the bone.Locking gazes with them, I uttered clearly, "You're welcome to try."Then, I reached out to press the call bell for the nurse.Within seconds, a nurse and a doctor had rushed over to me."This patient only just suffered a miscarriage, so her body is incredibly weak right now. She needs peace and quiet to recuperate! If you continue to cause a commotion here and threaten our patient, we'll call for the security to have you thrown out!" the nurse snapped sternly.Robert and Marissa were tempted to continue, but with the steely looks in the docto

    "Lastly, I want to divorce Zachary. I want him to leave this marriage with nothing to his name. I want him to pay for everything that he's done!" After I finished speaking, Mr. Zink replied sternly, "Don't you worry, Ms. Linden. You've provided me with ample evidence, so I'll start preparing the lawsuit documents right away. I'll do my best to secure the maximum legal rights and compensation for you."As I ended the call, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and closed my eyes tiredly.I had already lost the baby, so I couldn't allow myself to be left with nothing too. I would fight for justice, both for me and my dead child.With that new resolve burning in me, I decided that I needed to rest properly so that I would have the energy to deal with the upcoming lawsuit.However, at that moment, the door was violently shoved open before a loud wailing shattered the peace and quiet of the room."Oh, Sammy, my dear daughter-in-law! You're finally awake!""How could something like t
