Semua Bab My Late Husband Faked Death for a Rich Bride: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Jayden Stone's friends kept laughing as they spoke."Jayden, your acting was incredible back then. Vivian Jagger cried until she passed out. When she woke up, she even wanted to jump after you. I could barely hold in my laughter!" one of the men said."But you promised to stay with Marilyn Jagger for five years. Aren't you afraid Vivian will leave you for someone else during that time?" another chimed in.Jayden straightened his tie and said with a sigh, "How could that happen? Vivian is absolutely crazy in love with me. Faking my death was the only way to get rid of her."Besides, with the 500,000 dollars in the picture, why would she run away?"I bit down hard on my finger to keep myself from crying out, but the tears kept falling.He was right. I couldn't leave when there was a 500,000-dollar debt to repay.With a pained expression, Jayden sighed and said, "Viv still has many years ahead of her, but Marilyn only has five years left because of lung cancer. Her only wish before

Marilyn ordered the servers to drag me to the side of the stage.She lifted her skirt and walked toward me. Her head was held high, nothing like the timid young woman who had first returned to the Jagger family.My emotions were in turmoil. I let out a laugh that sounded more like crying.Thinking back, I was the one who brought her home.It was a stormy day. When Jayden was driving me home, I spotted a young woman by the roadside who had been hit by an electric bike.Back then, her name was still Jenny Lynch.She kept thanking me, saying she was a penniless orphan and wanted to work as my housekeeper to repay me.She was about my age. When I saw her worn-out clothes and the frightened look on her face, I felt sorry for her.Despite Jayden's attempt to stop me, I brought her home. I even asked my parents to help pay for her college tuition.But later, she suddenly brought out two DNA tests. That was when the Jaggers learned the truth.By a twist of fate, the daughter they tho

Jayden paused for a moment, then curled his lips in disdain.He said, "So, what am I supposed to do? Rush over from the company to see her now?"The head nurse, Betty Moore, let out a sigh of relief. "It would be best if you could come. If that's not possible, just have the bodyguards at the hospital entrance let us through. "We can take her to the city hospital!"Jayden scoffed. "Isn't this just because she wants to see me? Enough. Stop helping her put on this act. I'm not falling for it!"How much is she paying you? I'll give you ten times that amount. Don't bother me with something this trivial. I'm taking my wife on our honeymoon."Betty said urgently, "Mr. Stone, I'm not joking! Ms. Jagger has been coughing up blood for the past few days and can barely eat. She's already lost more than 20 pounds. "We don't have the right medical equipment to treat her here. Her condition can't wait!"Jayden snorted coldly and ended the call.Betty stood in front of me, staring at the ph

Jayden's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the cause of death on the form."Late-stage tracheal cell lung cancer. The patient died of organ failure."How was that possible?Four years ago, he had seen the medical report Marilyn gave him. It listed the exact same illness.It bore the city hospital's official stamp. It couldn't have been fake.Vivian's report, on the other hand, showed she was perfectly healthy except for mild nearsightedness.That day, Marilyn cried and said, "Jayden, if Vivian hadn't taken my place, I would've been the one who grew up with you. You would've loved and married me instead!"I've already lost so much. My only dying wish is to have you for a little while. Is that even too much to ask?"When she sobbed and begged him to spend her final five years with her, he gave in.Then, Marilyn stood on tiptoe and kissed him, and he didn't pull away either.The next day, he staged his fall off the cliff in front of Vivian.Seeing his stunned expression, Bett

As soon as Jayden walked into the office, Marilyn rushed toward him.She wrapped her arms around his waist and complained playfully, "Honey, how could you leave me at the airport? Do you know how embarrassing that was?"I don't care what you do. You have to make it up to me!"Jayden slowly pushed her away and stared into her eyes.He spoke slowly. "Make it up to you? I was just about to ask you. Four years ago, I asked you to give Viv 500,000 dollars as compensation. How did you give it to her?"A flash of panic crossed Marilyn's eyes. She blinked and forced a laugh. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Of course, I banked it into her account!"Jayden said nothing. He looked her up and down. "Are you feeling better? I haven't heard you cough in a long time. You used to say you might not even make it to next year."Marilyn froze for a moment, then smiled calmly. She said, "Thanks to the special medicine you bought from overseas, I'm much better now. The doctor even said I migh
