My Lawyer Husband Defended His Mother's Killer
My mother-in-law, Martha Miller, dies after being struck by my husband's assistant, Layla Atkinson's car after the latter runs the red light. But the court verdict shows that Martha is the one scamming Layla.
I've filed appeals three times, yet I've lost all three.
Just as I'm about to file the fourth appeal, I find out that someone has stolen Martha's corpse.
I'm about to call the police when my attorney husband, Michael Sawyer, seeks me out. He even gives me three thousand dollars on the spot.
"You should know that I've never lost a case, Bianca. No matter how much evidence you have, you can forget about winning your mother's case.
"If I claim that your mother is scamming Layla, then she will forever be a scammer. The fact that you keep taking her case to court just means that you want more compensation. Anyway, I've already gotten someone to sell your mother's body to the black market. It's worth three thousand dollars in total, so I suppose that's the value of her life.
"Stop bothering Layla like a pest you are. She's kind enough to not make you pay for the damages her car has sustained, after all."
No wonder Michael keeps defending Layla. It turns out that he thinks my mom is the one who has died in the accident this whole time.
I just push the money back to him.
"You should keep the money. I don't have the right to take it."
