Chapter 1

"Julie! You killed my mother!"My husband, Gary Cleat, yelled at me angrily through the phone, "Come here now and bring enough cash with you! You're going to be the kids' mother now!"Gary's anxious voice ringing in my ears suddenly drew me back to the present.After recollecting my bearings for a couple of seconds, I finally understood the situation. I had been reborn and given a second chance at life!Also, what did he mean by "his mother"?That woman was very obviously his side chick! She was a cougar! But because he wanted to go out in public with her, he lied to me, saying she was my mother-in-law, and even made me wait on her hand and foot!I angrily hummed in response to Gary's yelling. As soon as I hung up, I hurried to the hospital as quickly as possible. After getting the cab driver to switch lanes and use a different route, I realized I was shaking uncontrollably in the car.In my past life, after Meryl Cleat, my fake mother-in-law, was found to be pregnant with two s

Chapter 2

I took two steps backward and started screaming at the doctors and nurses, "What is wrong with the hospital? This is not my mother-in-law!"My voice successfully attracted the attention of the other patients' visiting family members. One of them was even a well-known online personality, Paul Brogan. And just like in the past life, he immediately whipped out his phone and started live-streaming everything to his platforms as soon as he smelled the drama about to happen.Gary looked at a loss for what to do. He tugged at my arm and said, "Can you please stop making a fuss? We can always go back and discuss things!"I shook him off and started interrogating the doctors and nurses at the scene. "How do you even do your jobs? You had literally one job, and you lost Meryl! Where is she?"I heard that hospitals often worked with black markets to sell off their organs! You sold my mother-in-law's organs to the black market, didn't you? Poor Meryl! Poor Meryl indeed!"I cried hystericall

Chapter 3

Of course, I knew who Gary had been texting. That was the main reason why I had to first expose what was written in Gary's text message.Paul seemed to be aware that it was an important clue. Seeing that I didn't stop him, he quickly came over and filmed the contents of the phone as well.At once, the people in his livestream comments went berserk."They've been planning it all along! The man had been wanting to sell off the cougar's organs! That poor cougar! She'd been tricked!""They're such cruel people! Remember how he looks! If you see him on the streets, make sure you stay far away from him!"Gary stammered, "N-No, wait. I didn't…"He had always been an egotistical person. But now that everyone was starting to accuse him, he couldn't help but stutter.Just then, Meryl's younger brother, Horton Cleat, quickly arrived in the ward, wearing his white doctor's coat.Horton was a doctor at this hospital. He was the key reason why Gary and Meryl had succeeded in tricking me the

Chapter 4

The livestream audiences went berserk once again.Even the onlookers were shocked and confused."Wait! So, the cougar conspired with this lady's husband to make her a pseudo-mother?"Gary was so mad that he looked like he wanted to beat me up. He behaved as though they had seen right through what was going on.Horton's expression changed. However, he quickly recovered and said, "That's enough! This is preposterous. You never treated my sister well when she was around. How could you smear her name like this after her death?"I didn't want you to be sad for too long, which is why I sent her to the hospital morgue on my own accord."As for this deceased, there must have been a mistake. We will wait for her actual family members to arrive at the hospital to claim her before she is wheeled away."I lowered my head to hide my smile. Then, I raised my head back, looking as hysterical as I could, and said, "If that's the case, then take me to the morgue right now. I must see Meryl one l

Chapter 5

Meryl even mentioned that she wanted Gary to use my money to give her a grand wedding.Gary's response in the video was to reach down and lightly pinch Meryl on the cheek. He spoke to her in a whipped manner, "Don't worry. Merry will live to be a hundred years old!"The people who watched the video on my phone looked like they were about to puke. They looked at me with pity in their eyes."That woman had indeed been a cougar! She's revolting!""If you didn't know any better, you'd think that it was a sugar mommy talking to her sugar baby! Oh, my God, this is disgusting! Is this a new ploy? To trick a stupid woman into taking care of their babies for them?"I turned pale when I heard this. It was the truth, but I didn't appreciate that.Under public scrutiny, Gary's face turned a bright red as he snatched the phone from my hands and smashed it onto the ground.Unfortunately for him, my phone was a hardy one. The screen didn't even crack. Instead, the shock seemed to have triggere

Chapter 6

Everyone fell silent when they saw this.Meanwhile, I was burning with rage. I turned around and slapped Gary in the face. Without waiting for them to respond, I started running toward that VIP ward.Horton and Gary panicked as they tried to stop me. However, I kicked the door open at once.Inside the ward, Meryl was looking healthier than before. A nurse was even massaging her legs for her. She looked like she was recovering really well. She turned to face me when she heard the loud bang of the door and saw me.At once, her face dropped. She knew she had been exposed. So, she started to cry and tell her sob story first."I see that you've found out. I won't hide it from you any longer."Everything was my fault. I didn't want Gary to go through a divorce with you, so I told Horton to lie in my place. Don't blame them for this. If you want to blame someone, then pin it on me."Horton then turned the tables on me and accused me, saying, "Meryl's only doing this for your own good!

Chapter 7

Less than an hour later, the contents of Paul's live stream made it to the top trending news of the day.Gary took the opportunity to sell himself as a victim online, saying that I was the one who sent Meryl, his mom, into the emergency unit, where she nearly lost her life.However, there were many people online who were aware of things and found many inconsistencies in his story.Nobody believed Gary. In fact, they started to attack him. A number of people even started looking into his relationship with Meryl after the ambiguous statements I made during the live stream.Gary was forced to shut down his social media accounts after that. He didn't dare to look at the comments they left him on his profile. He started blowing up my phone with calls, texting me and telling me that I had misunderstood him all along.I didn't even read his messages before deleting them and blocking his number.After coming out from the police station, I immediately contacted my lawyer friend, Sarah Law

Chapter 8

As soon as we went into the hospital, I could tell that someone was watching me. But I pretended not to know anything and followed Gary to the topmost floor of the hospital building."If I'm not mistaken, the topmost floor is the hospital dean's office, isn't it? Why are you bringing me here?"Gary turned around and cast me an evil grin. "Did you really think I brought you here to see Meryl?"After he was done talking, half a dozen big and burly men suddenly appeared from the rooms and surrounded me, giving me nasty and perverted grins."Ah, my dear, dear daughter-in-law! You just need to sign these papers to hand over your company to me and then serve me for the rest of your life, and I'll consider letting you go."Meryl walked over to Gary and held his arm, leaning against him as she smiled happily at me with a challenging gaze."But if you refuse, then, you might not be able to deal with the consequences."I scoffed and said mockingly, "Wow, Meryl, you're just a shameless, na

Chapter 9

Gary was prosecuted for kidnapping, blackmail, and committing marriage fraud, amongst a list of other things. He was sentenced to ten years in jail.Also, the paternal DNA tests had come out. The two super male kids belonged to Gary and Meryl. Since Gary had an affair while being married to me, I made sure that he walked out of the divorce penniless.I even received compensation from him.As for Meryl, she pleaded insanity and managed to get herself acquitted of her crimes. Also, since Gary took the fall for her, she managed to escape being sentenced to prison.The day after the hearing, I suddenly found myself trending in the news headline—as the evil daughter-in-law who sent her husband to jail for her own benefit.Also trending next to my headline was a video of Meryl playing the pitiful victim of the whole situation. She picked parts of the story to tell and exaggerated bits about the terrible things I'd done to her and Gary."My daughter-in-law is the CEO of Smithson Group.

Chapter 10

Meryl's biggest fan, Merfan001, immediately came to her defense, and they argued with each other until it was like World War Three.I spent some money hyping up the argument so that it would make it to the trending headlines of the day. Merfan001 kept defending Meryl, saying she wasn't manipulating her viewers or monetizing her sob story. Besides saying that I paid the fans to attack Meryl, he also accused the police of accepting bribes from me.As this made it to the top news, it immediately garnered attention from the authorities. The police released an official statement denying all rumors and accusations against me and them for bribery.Riding on the momentum, I then released a ton of evidence online. I wrote that Meryl was an impostor whose son committed marriage fraud to get the wife to look after her illegitimate twins. I then spent some more money to bump it up to the headlines.Paul appeared as well, backing up everything I said and bringing more traffic and attention to
