Won the Jackpot, Lost My Cheating Wife Chapter 9
Mom sighed and accepted the apple, saying nothing more.She was a kind person, but being kind did not mean she was all right with anything or that she had no boundaries. The shove from Celia had severed the last remaining bond between them as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Three months later, Mom made a full recovery and was discharged from the hospital.Using the prize money, I bought a luxury apartment with a garden in a wealthy downtown residential area and a low-key black Mercedes. I didn't close the lottery shop. Instead, I hired a manager to run it while I started studying investments and financial management myself.Life had finally returned to normal. The chaotic past felt like something from a lifetime ago.On the first day of winter, light snow drifted down from the sky. I drove Mom to the mall to stock up on some winter clothes.As we came out of the underground parking garage and passed the garbage collection station behind the mall, I caught sight of a familiar f

The wail of police sirens tore through the chaos at the scene.Several police cars quickly surrounded the entrance to the courthouse. Armed officers rushed out and rapidly took control of the situation."Nobody move! Squat down with your hands on your heads!" the leading officer shouted authoritatively.Jonah was a ruthless thug. But when faced with armed policemen carrying real guns, he could only throw away the metal pipe he was holding and squat with his head lowered.Edwin collapsed onto the ground feebly, his face ashen. Timmy was so terrified that he fainted on the spot.I stepped forward and handed over the video I had recorded earlier, along with all the evidence I had gathered proving Edwin's involvement in illegal gambling operations and fraud."Officer, this is evidence of their involvement in online gambling and fraud. Those debt collectors caused a public disturbance and unlawfully detained civilians just now."The officer took the evidence and quickly scanned throu

Harlan's excited voice echoed across the entire courthouse plaza through the reporters' microphones.The scene fell deathly silent. It was as if someone had pressed pause on the world itself—even the wind seemed to stop.Jonah's cigar dropped to the ground, and the ashes scattered around in sparks. Edwin's mouth hung wide open, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. Celia and Meryl became frozen like statues."1-120 million?" Celia muttered to herself, her voice trembling uncontrollably.Her eyes were locked onto the enormous ceremonial check, staring at the endless string of zeros.Harlan enthusiastically shoved the check into my hands before turning toward the media cameras and saying, "Mr. Lorenz not only possesses extraordinary vision, but he also has an incredible mindset! Even in the face of such an astronomical prize, he remains humble and calm. "Let's give Mr. Lorenz another round of applause!"Camera flashes went off in a frenzy, capturing my calm expression alo

Edwin coughed violently as he choked, "L-Let go of me, you bitch!"He could barely breathe with Celia strangling him so hard. He suddenly swung his hand and slapped Celia across the face.The crisp smack echoed as she was knocked to the ground with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She clutched her face and stared at the man who had sworn eternal love to her just yesterday in utter disbelief."You hit me? Did you just hit me? I'm carrying your child!" she shrieked.Edwin spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his expression menacing. "To hell with that kid! I can barely save my own ass right now! Why would I care about the bastard in your belly? If you weren't somewhat pretty and easy to fool, you think I would've bothered with used goods like you?"Did you seriously think I loved you? I just wanted to piss off that idiot, Zac!"Every word stabbed into Celia's heart like a knife. Her face instantly turned ashen, and she had a vacant look in her eyes.The image she had

Without any warning, Jonah lifted his leg and drove a vicious kick straight into Edwin's stomach.Edwin let out a pig-like squeal as his body folded in half, and he crashed heavily onto the red carpet. The bouquet he had been holding scattered across the ground. The flower petals were soon crushed beneath the men's feet.Celia's face went pale with terror as she screamed and stumbled backward. "What are you doing? How dare you beat up someone in broad daylight? Have you no regard for the law?"Meryl also started wailing at the top of her lungs. "Murder! The mob is murdering people!"Jonah dug at his ear in annoyance and tilted his head toward one of his lackeys. "Drag that pathetic man here."Two burly men walked to the last van and slid the door open. Then, they dragged out a bloodied, battered man and tossed him beside Edwin.The man's clothes were torn to shreds, and his face was swollen and covered in blood. He was nearly unrecognizable.But the moment he let out a weak groa

"Oh, don't you be smug about that. That money must've come from the loan sharks you borrowed from!" Meryl argued stubbornly, pointing at me and refusing to give up.Still, her confidence had clearly wavered.Seeing this, Celia quickly squeezed out a few tears for the camera. "Guys, you saw it yourselves, right? He'd rather borrow from loan sharks than admit his mistakes. I really can't keep filling this bottomless pit anymore. Tomorrow, at the courthouse, I'm cutting all ties with him for good."After saying that, she linked arms with Edwin and left the emergency room hallway with Meryl in disgrace.I paid no attention to their clownish behavior.The money that had been paid earlier actually came from an emergency call I'd made to Harlan of the city lottery center, Harlan McGill.As the super VIP who had just won the city's highest-ever jackpot of 120 million dollars, my request for help had immediately been given the highest priority.When Harlan heard that Mom had suddenly fal
