Semua Bab Stolen Husband, Fake Heiress: I Ruined Them Both: Bab 1 - Bab 10

My dad, Edward Jones, was extremely efficient. It didn't take long for him to send evidence of Maverick Gibson's infidelity to me.Overwhelming pain suffocated me as I looked at the photo of the boy who was the spitting image of my husband, Maverick.Jeremy Gibson was the same age as my daughter, Layla Gibson. His existence proved that Maverick had already been cheating on me while I was pregnant. I had blindly believed that he was deeply in love with me.If not for this incident, I would never have known that Maverick was lying to me.I looked at the other name on the document—Rosalia Jones. I grabbed my phone and looked through her social media, which was full of photos of her, Maverick, and Jeremy. They looked so happy together.On Valentine's Day, Rosalia had posted a photo of Maverick kissing her, their bodies pressed close together. The caption read, "Even though we've been married for so long, he's still as romantic as ever."That day, Maverick apologetically informed me t

"Violet Bailey, you don't have to show up for work starting tomorrow," Maverick declared.I looked at Maverick's icy expression as I listened to the other parents hurl a neverending barrage of insults at me. My heart ached so terribly that I found it hard to breathe.Maverick and I had been childhood sweethearts. His parents passed away in an accident during his freshman year in university. To make it worse, he was saddled with a huge amount of debt, so he was forced to drop out.I knew how important it was for Maverick to have a good education, so I dropped out as well and started working to pay for his tuition.Maverick wanted to start his own business after he graduated, so we were forced to live in a small, cramped basement unit. To attract more clients to invest in his business, I discarded my reservations and wore skimpy dresses, working as a hostess and drinking with his potential business partners.Eventually, I lost count of how many times I threw up.Maverick's eyes wer

Dad's hands were shaking when he pulled me into his embrace. He hastily removed his blazer and draped it over my body when he noticed my torn clothes."Doctor! Call the doctor!" he roared impatiently."Dad… Please save Layla first," I mumbled weakly as I lay in Dad's arms.Tears rolled down my cheeks at just the thought of the bruises that littered Layla's body."Don't worry. Layla will be fine," Dad said comfortingly.The kindergarten doctor arrived soon. He frowned as he examined Layla's wounds."Who would be heartless enough to beat up a child so badly? Fortunately, her bones and organs are fine. She'll be okay once she gets some rest."Dad breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the doctor's words.Meanwhile, the doctor injected me with something. I could feel a bit of my strength returning to me as I slowly leaned against Dad.I looked up and noticed that the entire kindergarten had been surrounded by the Jones family's bodyguards.The parents who mocked and insulted me e

I assumed my constitution was weak because my body had suffered too much stress during labor. I never would have thought that the man I loved had been secretly poisoning me all this time.Maverick wanted me to die a slow, silent death.Furious, Dad swept an entire porcelain set off the shelf, the pieces shattering on the ground."That beast! How could he be so inhumane? Don't worry. I'll make sure he pays for what he's done."Dad left the room after reminding the doctor to take good care of Layla and me.…Layla and I had a leisurely stay in the private hospital.My mom, Hannah Colton, would drop by the hospital every day to visit us.I had never had a chance to experience motherly love since I was a child, so I felt a little flustered when Mom showered me with her love that seemed to overflow from her eyes and everything that she did for me."You've suffered so much over the last few years, sweetie."Mom told me to lay my head on her lap while she ran her hand soothingly dow

I smiled as I looked at Maverick's ashen face. I continued to strike him where it hurt, saying, "As for your company, the Jones family shorted the stock, so it's facing a major financial crisis now."If my calculations are correct, your company will be forced to declare bankruptcy the day you're imprisoned, so you'll also be saddled with tens of millions of dollars of debt. I hope that you'll be able to pay it all off once you're released from prison."Maverick stared at me with wide eyes. "Do you have to be so ruthless? Think about the decade we spent together!"I quietly looked at him. "So you do remember that we were together for more than a decade. Why didn't you consider that when you tried to poison me to death? Why are you only bringing this up now that you're about to be imprisoned?"Unfortunately, my love for you died the moment I found out the truth. The only thing I want now is for your life to become a living hell! Enjoy your time in prison."Maverick's face remained b
