Cancer-Stricken Mother-in-law's Conspiracy Revealed!

The other relatives chimed in one after another until I pulled Chloe out from behind Ethan, making everyone's expression awkward.

After the police explained the situation, I started my performance. First, I slapped Ethan hard across the face until it was swollen, then I cried out loudly. "Everyone, judge for yourselves! I devoted myself to caring for my husband, and he went to sleep with someone else! Boohoo...

"I have such a hard life! How dare he cheat just like that. Two or three years of marriage can't compare to a month with a mistress. Boohoo..."

Among the relatives present, five aunts had divorced because their husbands cheated. When they saw my pitiful state, they were visibly moved.

They helped me up from the ground and said, "Dear, tell us what's going on. We'll help you."

I nodded gratefully at them. Then, Ethan was forced by the relatives to apologize to me, "Honey, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Actually, Ethan shouldn't have been so easily restrained by these relatives. As a grown man, he was quite strong. But his health had deteriorated significantly lately. He had frequent trips to the washroom, indigestion, weakness in his limbs, and so on.

These symptoms could easily make someone think they just hadn't rested well, causing them to ignore the changes in their body. That's what happened to me in my previous life. I always thought it was because I hadn't slept well and rarely suspected an internal issue.

Ethan still hadn't realized that his body was close to breaking down.

I pretended to be heartbroken. I covered the smile on my lips, then angrily demanded, "I want her to publicly apologize to me on social media, or this won't be over!"

At that moment, all eyes were on Chloe. Mia tried to smooth things over, but I snapped back, "Mom, do you want this woman to be your daughter-in-law?"

She opened her mouth, awkwardly glancing at Chloe. In the end, she said nothing.

Under everyone's gaze, Chloe could barely stand. She cried and turned to Ethan for help, saying, "Ethan, I can't apologize. If people find out I'm a mistress, they'll curse me. I'll lose my job..."

Just then, one of the aunts by my side couldn't hold back. She took a quick step forward. She grabbed Chloe by the hair and slapped her hard. She said, "Why are you crying? You dare to break up someone's family, but you don't have the guts to admit you're a mistress?"

When Ethan saw his beloved getting hit, he wanted to protect her. Mia shot him a glare, stopping him in his tracks.

Chloe's right cheek swelled up quickly. She covered her face, whining. "Ethan, help me. I'm carrying your child."

I immediately raised a fuss, shouting, "Illegitimate child! She's carrying an illegitimate child!"

This stirred up the other four aunts instantly. They all had unpleasant experiences of illegitimate children coming after their family's inheritance.

All five aunts swarmed Chloe, punching and kicking her.

Ethan rushed over and shielded Chloe in his arms, pleading, "Aunties, we were wrong. Please don't hurt the baby."

At that moment, Mia returned with the police.
