After the Miscarriage, My Mother-in-law Died

Yesterday, Sadie, my mother-in-law, violently beat me, who just had an abortion operation. She died today.

She died in the home of a mistress.

When the police called us to identify the body, I was struggling in the kitchen, trying to make a bowl of soup for myself.

Sadie was not at home today, so I secretly bought a pound of ribs online.

As soon as the ribs were cooked, my husband, Jarvis Cain, returned home with a pale face, his forehead covered with sweat.

His hand holding the key was still trembling.

"What's going on?"

I put down the lid in my hand and asked in a hurry.

Jarvis collapsed to the ground along the shoe cabinet, his eyes filled with fear.

"Mom is dead."

My hands paused as I was about to untie the apron.

"Are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all."

As soon as I finished, Jarvis' expression changed. He suddenly got up and rushed to me, grabbing my shoulder like a madman.

"Would I fucking joke with you about my mother? My mom is dead. She's really dead. The police just called me to identify her body."

Jarvis collapsed to the ground and muttered to himself as if he lost his soul.

"My mom called me today. It's only been a few hours. Why is she dead?"

"The police said that the suspect has been caught."

Suddenly, Jarvis grabbed my trouser leg. I was so scared that I almost cried out.

"They said that the suspect is my dad. Don't you think it's funny?"

I patiently pulled Jarvis up.

"Let's go to the police station first. What if it's a misunderstanding?"

Before leaving, I went to the kitchen to take a look at the pork ribs I had just cooked.

Fortunately, Sadie couldn't come back.

Otherwise, if she found out that I ate ribs secretly, she would beat me to death.

As soon as I arrived at the police station, I saw a shivering woman curled up in the corner.

I knew her.

She was the mistress of Martin Cain, my father-in-law.

I looked at her, who was always dressed glamorously, but now looked so wretched.

If it weren't for the jade bracelet on her wrist, I wouldn't have recognized her.

That bracelet was originally my only dowry. It was worth more than $40,000.

Later, Martin took it away when I was not at home on the grounds of doing business.

I made a scene for two days because of this and was almost driven out of the house.

Later, when I went to the office to drop off the files for Martin, I accidentally saw his secretary, Evie Hale, wearing my bracelet.

Only then did I realize that they had a close relationship.

As soon as Jarvis saw Evie, he rushed over and picked her up.

"Did you do this? What did you do to my mom? I should never have let you get hired into this company."

Evie was picked up by Jarvis, looking weak and helpless.

"No, I didn't. I didn't know anything. Jarvis, you have to believe me. It wasn't me. How could I possibly do anything to hurt you?"

Evie shook her head desperately, tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful.

As Jarvis saw Evie like this, his heart softened, and he loosened his grip.

If I were Jarvis, I would also be tempted by such a pitiful beauty.

Martin and Jarvis really had the same taste.

"Sir, please calm down. This is the police station."

The police officer appeared in time to stop Jarvis.
