All Chapters of In‑Laws Gone, Fireworks On: My Wife and Her Lover: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The bodies had just been removed when my wife, Stella Covington, finally showed up with her junior, Noah Reid."Ugh, this is so gross. I'm going to have nightmares tonight!" Noah screamed, hiding behind Stella.Stella kicked a body and glared at me impatiently. "Why haven't you handled the bodies yet? Can't you see your parents are scaring Noah? Apologize to him now!"I froze for a moment, completely bewildered. "Apologize? For what?"Before Stella's parents—Phillip Covington and Maria Stone—died, I received a distress call from them, asking me to tell Stella to lead a rescue.She had enough time for that, but what was she doing instead?She and Noah were up on the mountain, setting off fireworks, and missed the search window.I thought her negligence was the result of Noah's influence. But it turned out that she thought the dead bodies were my parents.Noah grinned, treating the entire situation as a spectacle. "Wade, Stella's parents always lecture you about your ego. You can

Stella frowned, her expression dark with anger. "Noah's a coroner intern. He's doing the autopsy to get his certification. Stop using the police to threaten him! Your parents should be honored to be autopsied by him!"Honored?Anyone with a brain could tell that Noah was just using the autopsy as an excuse to desecrate the bodies.But Stella was determined to defend him, and since those were her parents, I naturally had nothing left to say."I don't care about your excuses. Just get the autopsy over with. I need to take the bodies."Noah suddenly had an idea. He said maliciously, "You can't take the bodies. This is a critical evaluation period for the team. What do you think would happen if people found out we failed to save them?"Stella, I have a suggestion. Let's just cremate them. We can save resources."Stella clung to him and immediately agreed without hesitation. "That's a great idea! Wade, you should thank Noah. He's saving you money!"Noah winked at me. "No need to tha

It turned out Stella knew exactly that Noah's so-called autopsy was nothing but an act of desecration. But she'd believed it was my parents' bodies, so she'd blindly defended him.She thought she would see me begging for forgiveness and crying for her to stop.Little did she know that she would reap what she had sown."Noah! I'm going to kill you! Go to hell!"Stella's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the morgue.Unfortunately, no matter what she did now, it was too late. Phillip and Maria were gone, with not even ashes remaining.After Noah was taken away by the police for questioning, I followed along to give my statement.Noah had always been competitive within the team. He had mixed with several people just to secure his forensic certification.I'd heard the rumors and warned Stella about him, but she believed his innocent facade. And in the end, it cost her parents' lives.When I finished my statement, the police told me that Noah had confessed to everything."Mr.

I took on the case and decided to visit the search and rescue team to gather information.By chance, I ran into Stella, who was being reprimanded by the new team leader."Stella! How many times have you led the team in the wrong direction on missions? Can you even do this job anymore? If you can't handle it, get out!"Our team has lost so many resources this month because of you, and several victims who could have been saved died because of your mistakes! Think about it!"Stella looked defeated. As she turned, our eyes met."Wade, you finally came to see me. Why haven't you replied to my texts?" she asked.I’d already blocked her. There was no way I could see her messages.In just three months, she had lost at least ten pounds. It seemed that her parents' death had hit her quite hard.I proceeded with the routine questioning. "Why have you been making so many mistakes lately? Did anything upset you before the mission? Also, no one in the team knows the terrain better than you.

But when I heard from Geraldine, I couldn’t help but secretly look forward to it.Her assistant told me that her cases were always handled by a professional legal team.She only reached out to me because she knew about my current situation at the law firm. She wanted to use Sharpe Corp's name to help me build a reputation.Faced with her repeated advances, I couldn't help but want to draw closer, yet I was constantly forced to confront the vast gap between us.Stella's case was progressing much faster than Geraldine's. Soon, the trial date arrived.I appeared in court as the attorney representing my client. I never imagined that Stella and I would face each other as plaintiff and defendant.She looked at me as if she had a million things to say, but all she asked was, "How have you been lately?"I just stared at her coldly without answering.In court, Stella explained the mistakes she had made, which led to the delay in rescuing my client's daughter.I also discovered that asi
