All Chapters of My Lawyer Husband Defended His Mother's Killer: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My husband, Michael Sawyer, thought I was refusing the offer, and his voice immediately shot up."Three thousand dollars isn't enough for you? Get this straight, Bianca. Your mother was just an unemployed nobody."The fact that her death could bring your family this much money is already more than you deserve. Don't push your luck!"I shook my head. "You've got it wrong. What I mean is, this is money earned from your family member's death. Only you should be taking it."He frowned deeply, disgust written all over his face. "Hey, this money came from selling your mother's corpse. What does that have to do with my family? You think I'm as heartless as you? You think I'd take blood money like this?"Michael had grown up in a single-parent household. His father died young, and his mother, Martha Miller—rest her soul—had raised him all by herself.To pay for his dream of becoming a lawyer, she worked several jobs a day until she ruined her health. He saw it all growing up, so he had a

Gritting his teeth, Michael snarled, "You want to divorce me so badly? Fine! Let's do it! But let me make this clear. Even if we divorce, I'll be the one drafting the settlement agreement. I'll ruin your reputation and make sure you leave with nothing!"I'm also going to make my mom see the truth. The daughter-in-law she adored is nothing more than a vile woman who exploited her mother's death for money and used lawsuits to extort others!"Paper scraps scattered through the air around us. Through them, I saw the ruthless determination in Michael's eyes and the barely concealed smug smile on Layla's lips.In the end, I said nothing. I turned around and walked out of the law firm.After returning home, I silently began packing my belongings. By the time I dragged my suitcase downstairs and reached the entrance of the residential complex, a huge crowd swarmed toward me.One after another, they shoved cameras and phones in my face, snapping photos and recording videos like a pack of v

The crowd erupted into applause and cheers."We support you, Mr. Sawyer!""That's exactly how they should be dealt with! Make an example out of them so every scammer out there knows they won't rest in peace even after death!""Exactly! Think of all the innocent drivers who have had their lives ruined by these heartless scammers!""Though that elderly scammer died, she definitely still has family members. We should make every last one of them cough up the dirty money they extorted!""And be publicly condemned forever! That's the only way people like them will learn!"Amid the endless curses and outrage around Michael, a look of unprecedented satisfaction slowly appeared on his face.Before this case, he had handled countless lawsuits, big and small, but not once had a case brought him this much public attention and praise.At that moment, he completely forgot that the crash-for-cash scam was a lie he had made up to twist the facts. He forgot that the reason he became a lawyer in

"Otherwise, don't be surprised by what's coming!" Michael said."Sorry," I replied coldly, "but I don't think she can make it back home."With that, I hung up. A few seconds later, he sent me another text. "If I find out you've hurt Mom even the slightest bit, I'll make you pay with your life!"On one hand, he was hurling insults at me because of Martha. On the other hand, because of Layla, he had completely solidified the false narrative that Martha was a crash-for-cash scammer.He had his team of paid Internet trolls push out an edited version of the accident footage online. The video was carefully cut and stitched together, with the traffic light at the intersection deliberately erased.All in all, key frames were taken out of context.What remained only showed the moment Martha stepped off the roadside and the impact of the collision. On top of that, they added highly suggestive and misleading subtitles and narration."Pay attention here. The vehicle was moving at normal spe

"To protect a reckless driver who ran a red light, you've managed to twist the truth and turn against your own family in the name of justice!"The moment those words left my mouth, the once noisy and lively venue fell into an eerie silence. Every person in the room, along with their cameras, shifted toward me.What followed immediately was a wave of discussion and outrage."Hey, isn't that the accomplice of the elderly scammer?""Sure is. I'm surprised she has the guts to show up here.""How thick-skinned.""What irks me is she's still spouting nonsense. Running a red light? Turning against your own family? What do those have to do with Mr. Sawyer or his client?""I know, right? She's just slandering people left and right."The moment Michael saw me, his eyes instantly reddened with fury. He pointed at me. "I was just looking for you, Bianca! Turns out you're here, trying to slander me again. Tell me where you hid Mom right now!"At that, Layla turned to him in confusion. "Mik
