Four days after my death, my four-year-old daughter finally sensed that something was terribly wrong. The fridge door slammed into her forehead when she tried to get a snack.Normally, I would've been there in a heartbeat—arms open, kisses ready, whispering, "You're okay, sweetheart, Mommy's here."But this time, I just lay on the bed, cold and still.​She didn't understand. She thought the sweet treat would make me respond. So she held the final piece of chocolate up to my mouth. "Here, Mommy. Have some chocolate..." But I didn't even blink. She climbed into my arms, clutching my clothes tightly. "Mommy... Mommy, wake up..." She waited for me to stroke her hair, to tell her that everything was going to be fine. There was only silence.​Completely lost and scared, she found my phone. "Daddy, why is Mommy still sleeping?" she asked, her voice filled with desperation.​In response, Oliver sent a photo of himself having Christmas Eve dinner with his childhood sweetheart. His voice wa

Amelia flinched and immediately retorted."I didn't!"Susan's son, Leo, added, "Uncle Oliver, but there's no one else here. It must be her."My daughter retorted, "It wasn't me! I swear...""But you looked poor and suspicious," Leo said angrily, rushing over.He shoved Amelia, throwing her onto the ground. Oliver didn't stop him, just stood there, looking at Amelia with pure disappointment. "I knew you came here with bad intentions!First, your mother incited you to frame Susan, and now you dare steal? How could I have a daughter like you? Tell me, where did you hide the bracelet? Bring it out now!" My mind went blank. I rushed to stand in front of Oliver, tears streaming down my face as I said, "How dare you hit my child! Did you really believe every word Susan said?" But no one saw my anger.My daughter looked at her dad in disbelief and sobbed uncontrollably."I didn't steal her bracelet! Mom never lets me do bad things. She frames me on purpose.She's not as good as you think! S

Oliver stood up, pushed Susan aside, and ran outside anxiously.Susan was startled by his action and tried to ask something, but Oliver had already run downstairs.She frowned and hurried after him.When she got downstairs, she was shocked by what she saw.Oliver was rushing into the snow like a man possessed. He took off his coat and wrapped it tightly around the stiff, motionless figure on the ground.Tears streamed down in big drops, falling onto Amelia's purple-tinged face, making it look even more terrifying."Mommy, is Daddy crying for me?"My daughter's soul huddled in my arms, asking in a small voice."Mommy, does Daddy regret it?"She blinked, her blue eyes reflecting only my face.I smiled and brushed the snowflakes off her."Amelia, your daddy is a fool."My daughter was surprised because I'm usually gentle and kind, and I even rarely call someone a "fool".But she understood my grievance. She just held me close and gazed quietly at her father."Mommy, I want to be with you

But soon I was shocked again by Susan's actions.Seeing that Leo didn't dare to speak, Susan's anger flared up. She frantically pummeled Leo's back, and Leo stumbled and fell to the ground.As she got tired, she kept complaining bitterly in a suppressed voice:"Brat, it's all your fault! All your fault!I've already driven Charlotte and that little bitch out for days, and you still haven't made that fool Oliver completely like and approve of you.Aren't you the one who always plays the pitiful, innocent card to get what you want? Why are you failing now?If you'd really made Oliver forget that little bitch Amelia, I wouldn't have to be so scared. It's all your fault, all your fault!"Every time Susan said a word, she pinched Leo hard.It was like she wanted to pour all her anger onto Leo.And Leo, as if used to it, didn't dare to resist at all.He just bowed his head numbly, not even daring to make a sound when crying.My daughter couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to me:"Mommy

Looking at her putting on a pitiful act like that, Oliver just felt sick.He never knew this woman could be so evil and act so good.Oliver realized Susan was totally different from me, and wasn't really comparable to me at all.When he thought of me, his eyes burned with hatred."Susan! You dared to lie to me!"He shot his hand out, clamped it around Susan's neck, and squeezed hard. His voice was cold, so cold it sent a chill right through her.Susan's face turned red as a tomato. She flailed, slapping at Oliver's hand over and over."Let go…!"Finally, the others snapped out of it. They pulled Susan free and saved her.After that, Susan got arrested. Leo was sent to the hospital to check his injuries. The doctor involved was arrested soon afterward. At the police station, Susan fought tooth and nail, refusing to admit what she'd done.But there were witnesses and proof. She couldn't weasel out of it, so she was quickly convicted.Before the trial, she begged Oliver—begged him so ma
