All Chapters of My Husband's $50 Million Lie: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When the test results came back, the doctor called me into his office alone."Your daughter's blood isn't clotting properly, and her platelet count is abnormal. She needs to be admitted for further testing. You'll need to put down a $200,000 deposit for her treatment, and if she needs surgery, the costs will go up."I gripped the report, struggling to find my voice. When I finally managed to speak, all I could ask was, "How long do I have to pay?""Three days."I handed over everything I had saved and applied for financial assistance. During the day, I worked in the cafeteria. At night, I took shifts caring for patients, getting by on just three hours of sleep.In the early hours of the following morning, I was helping an elderly patient in the next bed turn over when I noticed Caleb standing at the end of the hallway, watching me.He frowned, then marched over and dragged me outside."Who are you putting on this act for?""Let go. I'm working.""Zoe, you know perfectly well I'm not go

The next morning, I woke to nurses giving me strange looks.Outside the hospital room, a crowd had gathered, their phones raised. Several livestreamers had blocked the hallway, filming Nellie and me without stopping."That's her. She took fifty million dollars to get an abortion, then secretly had the baby anyway.""Blew through fifty million in five years, and now she's using her sick daughter to scam her billionaire ex-husband.""I heard she even pawned her wedding ring yesterday to guilt him into giving her more money."I checked my phone and discovered that Nina had published a lengthy post in the early hours of the morning.She'd shared proof of the supposed fifty-million-dollar transfer, records of overseas property purchases, a list of luxury purchases, and footage of me pawning my wedding ring.The video had been carefully edited to remove the part where Caleb paid a hundred thousand dollars to buy back the ring but refused to give me a penny. All anyone saw was me asking about

By the time Caleb returned to the office, the bank had delivered the original account records.The account had been opened using Zoe's identification details, but the account-opening image had been tampered with. Worse, the registered phone number belonged to Nina. It was the same personal number she'd used five years ago.Transfers out of the account began on the day the fifty million arrived. Twenty million went to an overseas real estate company, thirteen million was used to purchase financial products, and the remaining funds were gradually funneled into three shell companies.Every luxury car, piece of jewelry, and designer item supposedly purchased by Zoe had been signed for by Nina or her mother. Even the $1.26 million gown and jewelry Nina had worn during the charity livestream had been paid for through a linked account.Nina glanced at the transaction records, struggling to maintain her composure."I was only holding the money for Zoe. She was emotionally unstable at the time,

The police placed the complete audio recording on the table.Five years ago, Nina had approached Caleb twice in his office.The first time, she'd told him I refused to get an abortion and wanted to explain myself to him in person. Caleb had been in a meeting and gave only one response."Handle it according to the agreement."The second time was after I'd been rushed to the hospital. Nina informed him that there had been complications during the procedure and I might need to be hospitalized. After a few seconds of silence, Caleb told her to contact the lawyer and make sure the matter didn't get out of hand.Not once had he asked how badly I was hurt or whether our baby was still alive.When the recording ended, Julian asked whether I was willing to accept a settlement.Nina had offered to return whatever assets she hadn't already transferred away, along with an additional three million dollars in compensation. In exchange, I would have to sign a letter of forgiveness and agree not to pu

Nellie's bone marrow test was scheduled for that morning.The sight of the biopsy needle drained all the color from her face, but she didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, she clutched my hand and asked, "Mommy, can we go home after this?""Once the tests are done, the doctors will know how to treat you.""Then I'm not scared."She said she wasn't afraid, but her little fingers wouldn't stop trembling.I stayed beside her in the treatment room, only releasing her hand once the anesthesia had taken effect. The moment the door closed behind me, my legs nearly gave out. I had to lean against the wall as I waited.Two hours later, the doctor told me that leukemia and congenital malignant blood disorders had been largely ruled out. The most likely diagnosis was immune thrombocytopenia."Her condition is quite severe, but we do have treatment options. We'll start with immunoglobulin and steroids to get it under control, then adjust her medication based on how she responds. With proper treatmen
