Chapter 6

Author: Washing Wheat
"Jeannie, I used to think you were just naive. Like you hadn't seen much of the world. However, now I see it clearly. You're actually cruel and disgusting."

He let out an icy laugh. His eyes filled with pure contempt. "Marrying you has been a stain on my life that I'll never be able to wash away."

I looked at his twisted, furious face with icy calm.

However, in my mind, something else flashed back.

Our college days.

Back then, Nash was not the untouchable "Mr. Smith."

His mother had raised

  • What Was Buried That Night   Chapter 13

    "When my mother was being tormented by Linda until her heart couldn't take it anymore, you were still standing up for your mistress. You called that 'old woman' simply unlucky, and you even pressured me to sign that settlement.""She was already dead, and you still treated her like trash, throwing her away without leaving her even the smallest bit of dignity."I stared at him, my gaze icy enough to freeze."you say Linda is the killer? Maybe. However, Nash, the one who really did it… was you.”"This whole act of yours as a 'devoted son'? I've truly seen it all now."Word by word, I stripped away the mask he had been hiding behind.With every sentence, Nash's face turned a little grayer, a little more lifeless.He collapsed, crying uncontrollably, snot and tears running down his face. In that moment, he looked as though he had aged thirty years, his soul completely withered."No… no… that's not true… this isn't real…"He shook his head desperately, his eyes unfocused, trying to

    However, this time, she had crossed a line she should never have touched.The moment the words "walking with a limp" reached their ears, the Smith siblings' expressions darkened instantly. It was so obvious they could not even hide it.Linda, still completely clueless, kept struggling desperately."Mr. Smith, Shirley, say something! This is all part of Jeannie's setup. Don't fall for it!"Watching her dig herself deeper, I let out an icy laugh and tore away the final layer of truth."Linda, it looks like you don't even understand the most basic facts. Do you even know who you've been working for?”"The reason that 'old woman' couldn't walk properly is because years ago, she took the hit in a car accident to save Nash. Her left leg was permanently damaged. She went overseas all these years just to treat that injury."It happened three years ago.Back then, one of Nash's enemies drove straight at him like he had lost control, clearly aiming for him.At the critical moment, his m

    Right in the middle of all the laughter and celebration, Nash's phone suddenly started vibrating like crazy.The moment he saw the number, his whole expression lit up. He clearly thought that was the moment he would prove me wrong. He immediately put the call on speaker, his voice loud and confident."Well? Did you find out?”"What's going on with my mom's flight? When is she getting here?"He shot me a smug look, waiting for the good news on the other end to slap me back into place.However, instead, there was a long silence.Then a trembling voice finally came through."M… Mr. Smith, we found out. She changed to an earlier flight. She already landed this morning."Nash's expression collapsed instantly. "What? She landed this morning?”"Then why didn't she contact me?"The voice on the other end sounded like it was about to cry."We heard Mrs. Smith wanted to surprise you, so she didn't alert the driver or the reception team. She took a taxi herself and headed straight to t

    "Back then, whatever your family did for me, I've already paid it back ten times over these past years. I, Nash, don't owe you anything!”"However, feelings aren't something you can force.”"Jeannie has changed. She's suspicious, vicious, even daring to curse her own mother-in-law. She's not the same person she used to be.”“Someone like that is not for me!"Amy nearly fainted from anger at his heartless words. Her face turned pale as she clutched her chest.I quickly supported her, gently patting her back to help her breathe, silently telling her that someone like him was not worth getting upset over.Then I lifted my head and looked straight at Nash, my voice unusually calm."Nash, I accept the divorce.”"However, there's no need to wait until after the party. That's a waste of time.”"Right now. Immediately. Let's end this."I looked at him quietly, at the man I had spent my entire youth loving.Back then, he had nothing. His pockets were empty, but his eyes were bright.

    Watching the siblings go all out to defend the woman who had killed their own mother while attacking me, I felt nothing but a deep, bitter sense of absurdity."I just hope that when the truth finally comes out, you two can still stand by Linda like this."Nash let out a scoff, the disdain on his face almost overflowing."The truth?”"The truth is that you're so jealous you can't stand seeing Linda doing well. So, you hired some extras to come here and put on a show. Now things got out of control, and someone died, and you're trying to dump the blame on Linda. You even made up this ridiculous lie about my mom being dead to distract everyone!”"Jeannie, I must have been blind to fall for someone like you, someone who just makes things up nonstop!"After throwing that out, he angrily started dialing his phone again, shouting into it the moment it connected."Use every connection we have and figure this out! What's going on with my mom's flight?”"Why hasn't she shown up yet? What

    Shirley laughed and cut in, "How could she not like you, Linda? You're beautiful and capable. Way better than someone who just sits at home doing nothing. When she sees you, she'll definitely treat you like her own daughter."Watching this ridiculous family drama unfold, I spoke quietly, "Too bad… she'll never walk through that door again."The moment the words left my mouth, Nash shot me a look that could kill. "Jeannie, what kind of garbage are you spouting now?"Shirley was furious too. She glared at me, her voice sharp enough to cut."That's right! If you don't know how to talk, then shut up! Saying something like that at my mom's welcome party. Are you trying to start trouble?"Linda put on a pained expression, shaking her head."Jeannie, your delusions are getting worse and worse. This is Mrs. Smith's event. How could she possibly not be here?"I stared straight into Linda's eyes, every word heavy and deliberate. "Because she was just killed. By you."Linda froze.The en
