Russell and Kristen froze on the spot.

With a hint of unease, Kristen said, "I'm Kristen Meyer. Do you need me to testify that Melissa embezzled company funds?"

The officer shook his head.

"No. Kristen, we suspect you are involved in a bank card fraud case. Please come with us to the station for questioning."

Her face turned ashen.

Russell lunged forward in agitation. "That's impossible! You must have made a mistake. The one you should arrest is Melissa!"

Everyone was stunned. Even the gen

    I sneered, my voice cold and sharp."I despise that illegitimate child. I never want to see him again. You'll send him away immediately, and then I'll consider writing a letter of leniency for Russell."The two old fools froze, hesitation and reluctance written all over their faces—they clearly didn't want to part with their eldest grandson.I let a small, cruel smile tug at my lips."Reluctant, are you? Fine. Then get out of here and stop bothering me!""We… we'll listen to you. We'll send the child away immediately!"Apparently, in their eyes, their son still mattered more than their grandson.Watching their hurried retreat, I slowly curved my lips into a satisfied smile. Whether they actually sent that child away or not, there was no way I would ever write Russell a single word of leniency. I wanted him to rot in prison and suffer firsthand every ounce of pain I endured in my previous life.Before heading to the hospital, I instructed the security guards at my community gate

  • Winning the Lottery, Losing My Marriage   Chapter 10

    The elderly couple stood before me, penniless, their only son behind bars. In an instant, it was as if decades had been carved into their faces. Their hair was gray, their skin lined with the deep wrinkles of hardship, and they looked utterly pitiful.But I remained unmoved, my face cold and expressionless.Because I remembered the last life—when I had been wrongfully imprisoned, my parents had been forced to kneel before Russell's family, pleading and begging."Russell, in-laws, Melissa is honest and upright! She would never embezzle company funds!""Russell, please don't misunderstand her! We beg you to testify for Melissa—she would never do anything illegal!""All of Melissa's and our property has been seized by the court, and Alicia is still Russell's daughter! Alicia is waiting in the hospital for surgery. Please, lend us some money for her operation. We swear we'll repay you a hundredfold, we'll work like slaves for you forever!"My parents had tears streaming down their fa

    Even at this point, Russell still tried to argue his way out.I let out a cold laugh."Whether the recording is fabricated or not, the police will have it examined. Do you really think you can escape the law's punishment?"He shuddered, mouth opening as he pleaded again."Honey, listen to me… let me explain…"At that moment, Kristen's husband rushed in, seething with fury. He hurled the paternity test results at Russell and Kristen.Lifting his foot, he kicked Russell viciously as he lay on the ground."You shameless bastard! You slept with my wife and had me raising your son for two years like a fool. I'll beat you to death!"After leaving Russell bruised and battered, Kristen's husband turned and slapped her hard—twice."You cuckolded me, you shameless slut. I'm reporting you!"He then pulled out a thick stack of bank statements and handed them to the police."These are abnormal transaction records from several of Kristen's bank cards over the past six months. I hope they'

    I let out a scornful laugh."What did you think? With multiple charges added together, do you really believe you'll have any chance of leaving prison in this lifetime?"Kristen's expression shifted like dye spreading through water, her face a battleground of turmoil.I sneered inwardly. I didn't mind giving her a little push.Leaning close to her ear, I whispered softly, "Kristen, that scumbag Russell could abandon his own daughter, whom he raised for six years. What makes you think he'll treat your illegitimate child any better?"You know what men are like. Believe me—once you're behind bars, he'll cast aside that child without hesitation and cut all ties with you, just so he can beg for my forgiveness."I curved my lips into a faint smile."Are you really willing to shoulder all the blame for a man so ruthless he'd abandon his wife and child?"Her whole body trembled. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, glared at Russell, and shouted, "It's Russell who's lying! He found out by c

    Contempt and disgust fell upon Russell and Kristen like a thousand piercing needles.Kristen's face was ashen, her lips trembling as she said, "Noel is my child with my husband. He's not illegitimate. Don't spread lies that will ruin my son's reputation!"Russell, tears and snot streaming down his face, clung to the hem of my pants. "Honey, you've really misunderstood me. I didn't cheat. I don't have an illegitimate child!"So they understood how humiliating this was.That only made me want to humiliate them further.I pulled up the company's employee family contact list and dialed Kristen's husband."Take your son Noel for a paternity test. There are truths you deserve to know.""No! Don't go! You mustn't!" Kristen's eyes widened in terror. She screamed and struggled desperately against her handcuffs, only to have the officers pin her shoulders down.Russell lunged at me viciously, trying to snatch my phone.I sidestepped him and struck him hard across the face."When you be

    Kristen's face turned completely pale. She trembled so violently she could barely remain standing.Seeing her panic-stricken state, what was there left for anyone not to understand?"So it was Kristen all along. She's incredibly calculating!""I was wondering why she suddenly became so proactive—coming to the company first thing in the morning to report Melissa. Turns out she staged the whole thing herself!""Officer, hurry up and take this greedy disgrace away!"Amid Kristen's terrified expression, the officers stepped forward, ready to take her into custody."Wait. She has an accomplice."I pointed at Russell, who was standing in the corner with his head lowered, trying to distance himself from Kristen."Russell conspired with Kristen to transfer the 800 thousand dollars out of my account and frame me. He personally transferred the money from my card into Kristen's account. You should take him in for questioning as well.""No! I didn't!"His legs gave way in fright. He craw
