Cancer-Stricken Mother-in-law's Conspiracy Revealed!
Chapter 4
Ethan picked out over a dozen medical insurance plans for me at the insurance company within half an hour. Just as he handed me the forms to sign, I pulled out his ID and said, "Honey, you should buy a policy, too. Your safety is the most important."
He immediately refused. "Why buy it? This is for people who aren't healthy!"
Realizing what he said didn't sound right, he softened his tone and explained, "I didn't mean to jinx you. I just thought it's better to be safe."
I accepted his explanation and pretended to care, saying, "Honey, you should get it too. Don't worry about the money. I'll use the dowry money to buy it for you."
He still didn't want to. He was probably thinking that once I died, all my money, including the dowry, would be his. He didn't want me to spend even a penny more.
I immediately mimicked Mia's tactics and started crying at the insurance company. "Honey, I just want to be good to you, but you don't appreciate it?
"Do you not consider me your wife? Have you found someone else outside?"
He couldn't stand seeing a woman cry. As soon as I started, he immediately pulled me up and comforted me. He then signed all the medical insurance forms in front of me.
This time, I was the beneficiary of my insurance. Of course, he was also the beneficiary of his policy.
After filling out all the information, I used the dowry money to pay the premium and went home with a stack of contracts.
...
I started bringing him meals daily to better care for Ethan's stomach. I didn't expect to see a familiar face there.
In my previous life, Ethan had protected his affair partner very well. I had never seen her while I was alive. After I died, I did see her, and I engraved her face into my mind.
After some investigation, I found out that the pregnant mistress was Ethan's assistant. She was named Chloe Clark.
She had worked with Ethan for four years, while I had only known Ethan for two and a half years. It seemed I was the fool they had chosen.
After delivering the heavy flavored food to Ethan, I contacted an agent to list the other house my parents left me for sale at a price thirty thousand below market value.
I had never told Ethan about this property. He didn't know I had other assets.
Within a week, I received the money from the sale. I used it to hire a private investigator to look into Chloe.
A week later, I finally got the chance I had been waiting for. Ethan and Chloe were going on a business trip.
That day, I went to a restaurant. I ordered three portions of lamb steak and delivered them to Ethan.
In the afternoon, I received a call from him saying he would be away on a business trip for three days.
The private investigator followed them all the way to the hotel. Under my instruction, he called in a tip, claiming there was a suspected exchange of money for sexual favors happening in the hotel.
Within three hours, I received a call from the police.
At that time, I was in Mia's hometown taking care of her. When she heard her Ethan had been arrested, she quickly gathered her relatives to go to the police station and get him out.
As the dutiful daughter-in-law, I naturally complied. I helped her call three cars to take all her relatives in a hurry to the station.
Mia was the first to rush inside. Although she wasn't in great health, the moment she heard Ethan was in trouble, she ran quickly.
When she saw Ethan, she shouted, "Ethan is innocent! He's been an exemplary student since he was young. There's no way he committed a crime!"
