Husband Left Me for a Hundred Million That Never Existed

Not only did she cook every meal for him three times a day, but she also used her own pension money to send him on vacations.

When she learned I was pregnant, she worried he might feel too much pressure and even talked with me about putting the old family home under his name.

And now he could actually say something so ridiculous?

Before I could even respond, he rushed off with Edith and Tabitha. Ignoring him completely, I sent my mother straight to the emergency room.

After that, without turning around once, I walked into the abortion room.

Thirty minutes later, I came across Edith’s latest post.

In the video, she and Bryce were kissing wildly in the city’s most expensive bar, yelling, “Everyone’s drinks are on me!”

Everyone was on him? That bar costs at least twenty thousand dollars per person.

I let out a cold laugh and right away canceled every card and credit limit I had opened for Bryce.

Sure enough, a few hours later, Bryce called, shouting angrily. “Margaret! Who said you could freeze my cards?!”

“Get over here right now and pay the bill!”

I couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh and asked, “We’re already divorced, and you still expect me to cover your bill?”

“Bryce, do you honestly think I’ve lost my mind?”

He paused for a second before saying, “Once I claim the prize tomorrow, I’ll give it back to you!”

“It’s just five million, are you really going to be that stingy?”

Saying nothing, I ended the call and blocked his number.

Did he actually believe I’d keep spoiling him like before? Did he really think that money was his to spend?

After cutting the line, I called another number. “Hello, Detective Wagner? I’ve got something that needs your help.”

The next morning, I stayed beside my mother’s hospital bed. Her face was pale, and she was still unconscious and weak.

The doctor explained that she had suffered both psychological trauma and physical injury and would need long-term rest to recover.

I gave a nod and went out to get some breakfast. But just outside, I ran into Bryce and the others.

At that moment, I recalled that the hospital was near the prize claim center.

As soon as they noticed me, their steps halted.

Bryce glanced at me furiously. “You blocked me over five million! You’re too much!”

“Because of you, I had to sign a guarantee letter in front of everyone at the bar, saying I’d pay it back today!”

“Once I cash in the prize, I’ll make you pay for this!”

Standing beside him were a few troublemakers with dyed yellow hair.

I had told Bryce many times to keep away from them, yet he’d been pretending to listen while doing the opposite behind my back.

Those guys gave me cruel smirks.

“I heard your mom had a stroke and’s lying in the hospital, huh? Costs thousands a day to keep her there. If you’ve got no money, why don’t you just take her home and wait for her to die?”

“Check out that expression, she’s probably here to beg Bryce for pity, hoping he’ll feel sorry for her and hand over some cash to save that old woman.”

“Bryce, don’t soften up. Garbage like her family deserves to vanish completely.”

Edith hooked her arms around his. “Bryce, let’s go redeem the prize.”

“When the money’s in hand, we can take our time getting back at this useless woman.”

At hearing about claiming the prize, Bryce’s eyes brightened with excitement, and he gave a cold smile. “Margaret, without me, you’re nothing!”

“Today, I’ll show you what a hundred million really looks like!”

“Just wait until you choke on envy.” Tabitha strutted beside him, proud and delighted.

While they were talking, a van stopped in front of us, and several big men stepped out.

The tattooed man in front glared hard. “The bar bill from last night was five million. You promised yourself you’d pay it today.”

Startled, Bryce muttered impatiently, “What are you rushing for? You’ll get your money soon enough!”

Instantly, Edith stepped in front of Bryce. “Why rush it? It’s only five million, isn't it?”

“When we’re done here, we’ll pay you right away!”

“Listen up! From now on, we’re going to be top VIPs at your bar! If anyone dares to treat us badly again, I’ll have you all fired!”

With an eye roll, they turned and headed into the prize center together.

Confidently, Bryce handed the scratch card to the employee. “Hi, I’m here to claim the prize, one hundred million.”

The employee picked up the scratch card, checked it several times, then ran it through the scanner.

Beep. After the sound, the machine said, “Scratch card invalid.”
