Все главы My Wife Defended Her Father’s Killer: Глава 1 - Глава 10

I was a little dumbfounded when I received the call from the hospital. My father-in-law, Luther Smith, had just brought my wife Meg Smith’s favorite food over. He had just left when he got into a car accident. I immediately rushed to the hospital. On the way, I kept calling Meg. She was a lawyer, and she was usually very busy. It was normal for her to ignore my calls. However, this time, it was important that she pick up the phone. Luther was in a critical condition in the hospital! I called her again, but she still did not answer. I put my phone down with a frown. Then, I rushed to the emergency room and panted as I asked the nurse. “H-How’s Luther?”The nurse sighed and said, “He’s still receiving emergency treatment, but it doesn’t look great. Please be prepared for the worst.” I was extremely anxious. I quickly gave Meg another call. She finally answered the call, but she sounded really impatient. “Easton, what are you doing? Why are you spamming me with calls? Don

I did not know how to answer him, and I hated that Meg did not believe me. I could only force a smile. “Luther, Meg’s at work, and she can’t step away.” I did not know if Luther believed my words. His smile faded a little. He gestured for me to come closer. I scooted closer and saw tears in Luther’s eyes. “Easton, I know that Meg has done you wrong. I know about it. Recently, no matter what time I arrived at your place, Meg would not be home. How busy could she be?”He was speaking without any difficulties, and his face was a little more flushed. My heart sank. I knew it was terminal lucidity, and I felt even sadder. Luther could tell that I was upset. He patted my face with his cold hand and wiped my tears away. “After I die, no one will help you to teach Meg a lesson. Easton, you’re a good kid. You deserve to be happier. Don’t force yourself into spaces you don’t fit. Divorce her. It’s my fault. I didn’t expect her to be like her mother…”A tear slid down Luther’s c

When I heard someone mention the drunk driver, I sneered. .That murderer had not shown his face once. When I went to the police station, I found out that his friend had bailed him out. Before they left, they only told the police that they would see us in court. I was extremely furious. I immediately asked my lawyer friend to represent Luther in this case. My friend, Phoebe Grant, was very shocked that I did not ask Meg for help. After all, Meg was one of the best lawyers in the city. If she represented Luther in court, we would definitely be able to put that drunk driver in prison. I smiled bitterly. I did not tell her that it was because I could not get through to Meg, and Meg did not believe Luther was in trouble. Hence, I simply gave an excuse. I said that Meg was bogged down by other cases. However, three days later in court, Phoebe and I bumped into Meg and Hugh. Hugh seemed very afraid. He kept very close to Meg. Meg did not push him away. Instead, she comfo

I clenched my fists tightly. “What evidence do you have to claim that he’s scamming you?”Hugh snorted. “Who cares if we don’t have any evidence? I’m not here to nail your father to the cross.”The judge frowned and asked us to stop fighting. When he announced the verdict, I felt my heart sink. Unfortunately, due to insufficient evidence, Hugh was acquitted. On our way out, I saw the joy on Meg and Hugh’s faces. It felt really ironic. I suddenly wondered if Meg would ever be able to smile again after finding out that Hugh had killed her father. They were chatting happily when they saw me, then their expressions immediately darkened. “Easton, what are you still doing here? I’m warning you not to do anything stupid!” Meg shielded Hugh vigilantly. She was staring at me as if she were guarding Hugh against me. “If you dare to really hurt him, I’ll divorce you!”I looked at Meg’s anxious expression and grimaced. “You’re the one who asked for it.” I took out the divo

“No, this is impossible. How can it be true? Easton, you’re lying to me, aren’t you? These bills are fake, aren’t they?”I sneered, “That’s right. I’m lying to you.”When she heard me say that, she let out a sigh of relief. “How can you joke about something like this? This is too much! But it’s true that I haven’t seen my dad for a long time. After I send Hugh back, let’s visit him.”Hugh did not expect that Meg would refuse to divorce me. From the sound of it, she wanted to reconcile with me. His smile froze on his face. Meg did not even spare a glance at Hugh. She pulled out her phone and gave Luther a call. However, the call did not go through. Meg started to feel a little anxious. “Why is the number not in service? Did my dad accidentally toggle some settings?”She wanted to get an answer from me desperately. I smiled and did not speak. It was not a good feeling to be ignored. However, Meg had always treated me like that. I stood still and watched as she s
