Turns Out His Sickly "Sister" Is His Ex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Zachary opened his mouth to retort, but he couldn't find the words. In the end, he simply frowned harder and kept silent.At that moment, Vivian, who was still curled up in his arms, piped up in an aggrieved tone, "Sammy, don't be angry. This is all my fault… I shouldn't have insisted on staying here. It's no wonder that you hate me so much. I'll leave right away and won't burden you two any longer."With that, she pretended to pack up her things, as though she were ready to move out right that second.I scoffed at her acting. "You don't need to leave. I will. That way, you two 'siblings' will get the house to yourselves. That would be perfect for you, right? I won't be around to be an eyesore anymore."The fury that Zachary had only just pushed down flared to life again. His expression darkened as he snapped, "Samantha Linden, are you just about done with your tantrum? You don't even have any parents. Where will you go if you leave me?"The moment he finished speaking, even he se

When Zachary realized that I was too shocked to even say a word, he sighed softly."Sammy, I know that this isn't fair to you, but you know that Vivi can't handle any emotional stress in her current condition. I don't dare to risk it either. Don't you worry, though. I won't divorce you, and even though this house is currently under Vivi's name, we can still live together in it."The way he spoke was as though he was doing me a great favor by allowing me to stay in the house that I had bought with my own money.Trying to ignore the dull ache in my chest, I opened my mouth to retort, only to be interrupted by his phone ringing.I instantly knew that it was Vivian calling because he had barely answered the phone when his expression turned anxious. He hurriedly said, "Vivi is feeling unwell."The next second, he turned and left the house. Before stepping out the door, he didn't forget to remind me to eat a proper meal before getting some rest.After he was gone, I had to force back

I went on to tell the female police officer about how Vivian barged into our room on our wedding night, insisting on sleeping with Zachary, how she guilt-tripped Zachary into leaving when I was sick in the hospital, and how she would threaten to end her life whenever Zachary and I were on a date.For three entire years, I backed down time and again, only for Vivian to grow increasingly bold and outrageous.I informed the police officer about how I accidentally overheard Zachary's conversation with Vivian, which was how I learned that she wasn't actually his younger sister but rather his ex-wife. That was also when I found out that her depression was fake and that all her unreasonable actions were deliberate.Following that, I shared how I wanted to get a divorce, but Zachary refused and even used the fact that I was an orphan and had nowhere to go to hurt me.I also told her about how I initially thought that my suffering was over when I discovered that I was pregnant, only to le

Robert snorted coldly and added, "I'm warning you, you'd better drop the case! Otherwise, we'll make sure you won't be able to continue living in this city! You only just had a miscarriage, and without a husband to support you, how do you think you'll be able to survive here?"Their every word stabbed deep into my heart like a dagger. However, this time, I didn't cry or feel any sorrow, only sheer disappointment that chilled me to the bone.Locking gazes with them, I uttered clearly, "You're welcome to try."Then, I reached out to press the call bell for the nurse.Within seconds, a nurse and a doctor had rushed over to me."This patient only just suffered a miscarriage, so her body is incredibly weak right now. She needs peace and quiet to recuperate! If you continue to cause a commotion here and threaten our patient, we'll call for the security to have you thrown out!" the nurse snapped sternly.Robert and Marissa were tempted to continue, but with the steely looks in the docto

On the day of the hearing, I dressed in simple clothes and stepped into the courthouse with Mr. Zink beside me. Zachary and Vivian also arrived with their lawyer.As usual, Vivian was dolled up extravagantly. Her eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance, as though she thought she wouldn't be sentenced for her crimes.Zachary, on the other hand, kept his head bowed low, clearly unable to look at me.Robert and Marissa were sitting in the gallery, faces twisted into scowls as they glared at me.The courtroom was solemn, with the judge sitting high above while court officers stood guard on both sides.As the hearing began, the attorneys for both sides presented their claims and defense arguments in turn.The opposing lawyer tried to argue that Vivian's depression was real and that she'd shoved me to the floor by accident. He dismissed my claims of her drugging me as baseless speculation, then insisted that Zachary had acted alone in transferring our assets and that it had nothing
