My Wife Stopped Me From Saving My Mother-in-law のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

I had not finished speaking when my phone was snatched away. Someone kicked me on my back.Caught off guard, I fell clumsily. I watched helplessly as my phone was smashed to pieces.The male actor, Maximus Lance, spat in my face and shouted arrogantly, “This show costs $70,000 a day to film. If you delay us any more, you’d better pay up or rot in jail!”His overbearing words sent a surge of rage through me. I got up, grabbed him by the collar, and yelled, “There’s still someone in that factory! If somebody dies, can you live with that?”When I said that, he shoved me away. Malice glinted in his eyes.“Quit the nonsense! We swept this abandoned factory three times. There’s no one in there!He turned and yelled at the others, “What are you all standing around for? This person’s sabotaging our shoot! Call the cops already and throw him out!”The crew members swiftly dragged me out. I shouted until I was red in the face.“Go ahead! Call the cops! A life is on the line. Let’s see

To give her a sense of home that she wanted, I quit my job and became a stay-at-home husband. I became her strongest supporter.Before I quit, I accomplished a major achievement. My bosses figured that, since Willow was my wife, they would give her credit as a stepping stone toward her promotion. That was how she became the youngest fire chief on the force.I used to think she truly loved being a firefighter. I thought saving people and helping the community meant everything to her.But I never expected her to change so much. She had become the kind of person I hated the most. I hated those corrupted by power.Willow became impatient when she saw me standing in a daze. She humiliatingly patted my face.“What’re you just standing there for? Can’t you see Max’s shoe fell off? Now, put it back on him.”Seeing her deliberate cruelty, my feelings for her completely faded. I took a deep breath and said seriously, “Willow, I want a divorce.”Willow froze for a moment. A strange emotion

Willow could not hear me clearly.She looked at the familiar face of the woman in my arms. Then, she collapsed onto the ground. Her face turned pale.“What?! How?”Maximus saw that the police had arrived. He panicked and said hurriedly, “Officers, there must’ve been a mistake! This is a legitimate variety show that has been approved.“I’m an actor. Why would I ever do something that throws my whole career in jeopardy?”But his explanation was too weak. The raging fire and Susan, whom I had rescued, both proved that a deadly crime had nearly happened here.The police officer said coldly, “Approval? Do you have the relevant paperwork?”Maximus sweated profusely at that. He was too speechless to respond.Meanwhile, Willow forgot about everything else. She stumbled over to Susan’s side and said in a trembling voice, “Mom, wake up! Don’t scare me like this!”“Get lost!”I shoved her aside. Then, I carefully checked Susan’s condition. Large areas of her skin were burned. She had in

After the reporters finished interviewing me, Maximus’ long list of wrongdoings was exposed across the entire internet in less than an hour. The fans who had been defending him could no longer do so. Many of them turned against him.[I never thought the idol I stanned would turn out to be this kind of person! That’s disgusting!][A homewrecker! Maximus, do you even remember that you’re supposed to be a star? You wasted all our money and faith. You’ve betrayed us!][I’m literally going to be sick. Stanning Maximus is the biggest disgrace of my entire life! Just go to prison already and start stamping license plates!]Maximus’ reputation was completely ruined. One by one, his endorsements cut ties with him. There were even rumors that he was a scandal-ridden artist who should be blacklisted.Overnight, the reputation he had built over several years completely collapsed. His company was forced to announce termination of his contract.I was at the hospital taking care of Susan when

Willow bit her lip and started to sob.“I don’t want to go to prison! I fought so hard to get to where I am. I can’t lose everything!“George, you’re close with some of the higher-ups. You must have a way to get me out of this!”I shook my head coldly.“I’m not getting you out. You’re too far gone. Prison’s the best place for you.“It’s been several days since the fire started. Have you even asked how Susan is doing?“She just got out of the ICU. She’s partially paralyzed and needs careful care to get back to a normal life.“Willow, nobody’s going to be more devastated by this than Susan.“Straighten yourself out there. Don’t let Susan’s final years be miserable.”After saying that, I turned and left. Willow sat frozen in her chair. Then, she suddenly collapsed onto the table and broke down sobbing.When I returned to the hospital, I saw Susan smiling kindly at me. I was not sure how to bring Willow’s situation up. In the end, Susan spoke first.“George, you don’t have t
