After My Husband Faked His Death to Avoid Debt
Chapter 5
Everyone turned to look, but no one could find the person who had spoken.
"What? Logan actually betrayed me?" I couldn't accept this "blow" and fainted, rolling my eyes back.
Eight:
When I came to my senses, everything had already settled.
Without my financial support, Annie and Lilian were forced to sign the papers and acknowledge their debts.
They had considered asking relatives to persuade me, but the comment about the mistress during the funeral made everyone think it was best that I had nothing to do with this family.
Not only did no one come to defend them, but many even kicked them while they were down.
A few days later, while I was tidying up at home, Lilian knocked on my door. I didn't give her a good look, especially since she had been the most ruthless in morally manipulating me in my previous life.
Lilian, as usual, came in without taking off her shoes and plopped down on the sofa. "You know, Mom has kidney failure. Now my mom and I have been kicked out of the house. Mom is in the hospital, and I have nowhere to stay, so I plan to live here."
"Okay," I replied.
After all, I had already sold this house, and in a few days, the landlord would come. I had no idea if the new owner would let her stay.
Perhaps my submissive demeanor made Lilian think I had become the same pushover as before. She snorted, "That's more like it. I'll tell you, Mom's kidney failure was already serious, but after being tormented at the funeral, her condition got worse. You and Mom have the same blood type, so if you have a conscience, you should at least get tested for compatibility."
I suddenly laughed.
Lilian looked at me in confusion. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at how foolish you are. Your brother was out there with a mistress, and you and your mom have been tormenting me in every way. Why do you think I would want to help you?"
Lilian looked at me as if she had seen a ghost. "You're twisting the facts..."
I made a shushing gesture. "Stop talking nonsense. Whoever is twisting the facts knows very well. Logan went out to buy strawberries or went up the mountain to die on purpose—I'm sure you and your mom both know the truth."
Nine:
Lilian had no idea how to refute me, and she didn't dare offend me either, especially since she still needed me to "have a change of heart" and help them repay their debts. Even if I didn't, she could still stay at my place, relying on me for food and shelter.
As for whether I would donate a kidney to Annie, she was so selfish that it probably didn't matter to her.
Realizing this, she shot me a disdainful glance and went straight into the guest room.
Once Lilian was in the guest room, I stopped tidying up. The lottery had already been drawn, and I was now a multi-millionaire. I didn't need these trivial things anymore.
I grabbed my bag, turned, and left the house, blocking all contact with Lilian and Annie. They wouldn't dare make too much noise, fearing someone would discover Logan's faked death.
I collected my winnings and bought a luxurious villa, moving in directly. I was determined to make up for all the suffering I endured in my past life and lived a carefree life.
However, Annie and Lilian were not so fortunate.
According to a private investigator, Annie's condition had rapidly deteriorated, and she had fallen into a coma. But due to a lack of funds, Lilian refused to discharge her, leaving her to languish in the hospital corridor.
And Lilian was kicked out by the new landlord of my old house, and it caused quite a scene. It almost landed her in the police station. Lilian, too, had a fit, called and cried on the phone, and left in a huff.
But I knew this was just the beginning. There would be more trouble ahead for me to deal with.
As if in response to my thoughts, the next morning, the housekeeper brought in three visitors.
It was Lilian, a person dressed like a lawyer, and standing beside them was none other than the "resurrected" Logan.
I smirked and thought. Logan, you've finally shown up. All my efforts to publicize my wealth weren't in vain.
