Todos los capítulos de I Bankrupted My Cheating Husband: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 8

I had been married for five years to my husband, Tristan Wolfe. Always claiming to have urgent duties, he had missed four of our anniversaries in a row.After using my father to get promoted to Deputy Fire Chief, he finally agreed to celebrate our fifth anniversary.The moment our dishes were served, he saw the news about a fire at a postpartum center downtown and turned pale.I tried to reassure him by saying, “The fire headquarters is right across the street. You’re on your rare day off. Your team can handle it.”He shook off my hand impatiently. Glaring at me with teary, red eyes, he called me heartless.“I earned this position by risking my life! How could I neglect my duty for personal affairs? I’d be letting my coworkers at the headquarters down!”He was in such a rush that he left his personal phone behind. Shortly after, it rang with a special notification tone.When I picked up, a voice said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wolfe. Your wife’s VIP suite is on the top floo

When my eyes widened in shock, Phoebe looked at me with smug satisfaction.“See this? We have a child together. Your little ‘wife’ charade is over. Get lost!”I trembled with rage. The grief I had suppressed deep inside surged up once again.My younger sister, Lily Grant, had gotten pregnant with some deadbeat’s child. Even after he abandoned her, she stubbornly insisted on keeping the baby. Neither my father nor I could talk any sense into her.On the day she passed away during childbirth, I was abroad and was rushing to finish the final stage of an experiment. I could have returned home the very next day.A nurse had even sent me a photo of my nephew. His features strongly resembled my sister’s.But at that very moment, Tristan specifically asked me to help secure the approval for his relative’s overseas project.I trusted him and ended up getting delayed for an entire week before I could return.The day before my flight home, I received the devastating news that my nephew ha

The first thing my father saw when he got out of the car was me tied up and restrained.His face darkened instantly. “Security! What are you standing around for? Get Elsa out of there, now!”Several bodyguards surged forward aggressively.The staff from the mental institution who were holding me immediately lost their nerve and instinctively loosened their grips.Before the ropes even fell off my wrists, my father stormed up to Tristan.He pointed a finger right in Tristan’s face. His voice was sharp and reproachful. “Tristan! Who do you think you are, daring to hurt my daughter?”When he turned to me, his tone softened in an instant.He carefully examined the marks on my wrists. Pain flashed in his eyes.“Elsa, tell me what they did to you. I’m here now. No one’s going to hurt you.”I felt a lump in my throat and my eyes stung with unshed tears.Ever since I was a child, my father had always been my unwavering protector.Tristan took two steps back guiltily. He stuttered, “

I was infuriated by her words and laughed in disbelief. She was proving a certain saying true. A corrupt mind would see corruption everywhere.“My mother is the daughter of Pinecrest’s wealthiest family. Our family owns half the real estate in this city. We don’t need to make money through shady schemes!“My family has always kept a low profile. I just never thought a live-in son-in-law would be so bold as to treat his mistress better than his actual wife.”The crowd around us instantly erupted. Waves of mocking remarks filled the air.“Oh my god, this Phoebe is clueless! Not only did she pretend to be related to the mayor, but she didn’t even bother to look into the mayor’s family background. Is she for real?”“Seriously! She acted all high and mighty, but it turns out she was just bluffing to fool those who didn’t know better!”“She brought this on herself! Since when does a mistress get to act this entitled?”Phoebe trembled with rage. She pressed her lips together until they
