My Sleeping Beauty Husband

My best friend Wendy Soap and I were job hunting when we received an offer from the prestigious Lake family to become their daughters-in-law.

The Lake family had two sons. Simeon Lake was emotionally distant, and Leopold Lake had become a vegetable after a car accident.

All we had to do was marry for a year, and we'd each receive 100 million dollars.

It just so happened that I studied nursing while Wendy specialized in charming men. Our skills lined up perfectly.

After a quick discussion, we realized this was a fortune that had fallen into our laps. We had to marry!

But less than six months after the wedding, Simeon's first love, Mia, came back.

My frustrated best friend knocked on my door in the middle of the night. "Mia is no pushover. I'm planning to run away. Are you coming with me?"

"Then let's run together," I replied.

I finished counting my money. "I've only saved fifty million. It's not enough to cover your expenses."

Wendy got divorced the day before, and I divorced the day after.

But on the night before my divorce, as I was packing my things to run away, my vegetable husband, Leopold, woke up.

His arm slid around my waist from behind and pulled me close.

"Simeon's first love is back. I don't have one, so why are you running?"

...

In the middle of the night, I was happily counting my money.

Wendy knocked on my door.

"Layla, let me hide out here for a bit."

She was rubbing her back in pain and complained to me, "If anyone dares say Simeon is emotionally distant again, I'll rip their mouth off!

"If he keeps messing with me, my bones are going to fall apart."

Wendy sighed and lay down on my bed.

Seeing the pained look on her face, I patted my chest in relief. Thank goodness Leopold was in a coma.

All I had to do every day was take a towel from the nurse, wipe him down, and then I was off work.

Plus, I had endless amounts of money coming in.

Six months ago, Wendy and I had been job hunting together, and we both received offers from the prestigious Lake family.

On the first day of work, we realized the job was to be their daughters-in-law.

Cora Lake, dripping in jewels, handed each of us twenty thousand dollars as soon as we met.

"Ms. Smith, you studied nursing, didn't you?"

I nodded, and Cora smiled with satisfaction. "I'll leave my youngest son, Leopold, in your hands. I can rest easy now."

As for Wendy, when she filled out the job application, there was a section asking what special skills she had, and she casually wrote: [flirting.]

Who would've thought that was what caught Cora's eye?

After asking me questions, Cora turned to Wendy.

"Ms. Soap, Simeon is emotionally distant and uninterested in women. But if you can manage to get pregnant and let me hold a grandchild soon..."

Cora waved the bank card in her hand.

"Then this 100 million dollars will be yours."

Our motto was always, "The wise avoid falling in love—just focus on making money and becoming rich."

The moment that bank card flashed, Wendy agreed immediately.

"Leave it to me!"

Cora nodded in satisfaction. "I know it's hard for you two to marry my sons.

"But after one year of marriage, I'll give each of you 100 million dollars as compensation for your troubles."

We nearly dropped to our knees in excitement.

"This wasn't just compensation. It was a direct cash delivery!" I thought.

And so, we both got married.
