My Backstabbing Wife's Twist of Fate
I called my wife, a forensic specialist, after learning that my in-laws were involved in a car accident.
It was on the 80th call that she finally answered, "I'm just trying to celebrate Justin's birthday for him. What's wrong with you? Can you not get jealous over just about anything?"
I informed her that Mom, Dad, and sister had died in a car accident, and that she should hurry back to arrange for their funeral.
To my surprise, she scoffed at my suggestion and replied, "What does your family's death have to do with me?"
She was not involved in the funeral arrangements at all. On top of that, she even falsified evidence for her love interest—the culprit who killed her family—in court as a forensics specialist.
Eventually, on the day I informed her of my intention to divorce, she threw a fit.
"Patrick, it's just the death of a few of your family members. Justin didn't do it on purpose. It was just an accident.
"Moreover, it's because of your parents' and sister's carelessness on the road that led to the accident. Why are you making things difficult for me and insisting on divorce? I've truly misjudged you…"
Noticing the indignance in her response, I finally understood.
It seemed she had no idea that it was her family that died in the accident all this while.
