Secrets of a Plastic Surgery Addict and a Desperate Young Lady
Chapter 4
"Mr. Stewart, I'm Luna's husband."
When he saw it was me, he visibly panicked.
"I... I know."
"How do you know that? Have we met before?"
At my question, he froze and immediately tried to cover it up.
"Ms. Collins comes for weekly appointments. She's mentioned you before."
"Is that so? Then, what's going on with my wife's condition? She's not getting better, and the family's been pushing us to have kids."
He straightened his face, trying to look professional.
"Even though you're her family, this is confidential information. I'm not at liberty to disclose it."
I suddenly laughed.
"Then can you explain why my wife, who claimed she had blood in her urine, is seeing a plastic surgeon?"
Two months ago, 200,000 dollars disappeared from my account.
When I asked her about it, she got defensive and said she'd invested it.
Now, looking at Jayden's face, I finally understood.
She used my hard-earned money to pay for this pretty boy's plastic surgery!
He kept looking around, unable to come up with an excuse.
I thought, "What a pair of liars. If you're going to lie, at least get your stories straight."
Suddenly, he stood up angrily.
"Mr. Lewis, if you're not here for treatment, please don't waste my time. There are many other patients waiting."
That self-righteous excuse was just like that woman's.
"Sorry, I'm just worried about my wife. You know, she's got a strong appetite. Wouldn't want to ruin her... happiness." With that, I left the office, leaving him seething in frustration.
That afternoon, I met up with a classmate for lunch. She's a divorce lawyer now.
It had been years, and she had changed a lot.
"Lily Wright, the chubby girl, has turned into a beautiful lawyer!"
She blushed and smiled, clearly surprised and amused that I had come to her for help.
"Don't tease me! You're the one who made me fat back then."
"You know I never cared about girls' figures. You were always complaining you were hungry, so I brought you snacks."
Other than Luna, I've always been a good judge of people. Lily and I were classmates for four years. She was my best friend, and I was hers.
After some small talk, I told her everything about Luna. She was so furious she slammed the table.
"You're still the same fiery woman you always were. Let's have a drink to that!"
After one drink, warmth spread through my chest, but I didn't want anyone's pity.
There was something in her eyes, an emotion I couldn't quite read.
"You should check the insurance policies in your name, right away."
"I already thought of that, which is why I came to you first."
"What's your plan? I won't charge you for this one."
I put my glass down and looked at her intently.
"I want to destroy those two. Ruin them. Make Luna beg me for mercy!"
We clinked glasses, sealing our alliance.
But I missed the tenderness in her eyes, something that had started four years ago.
After dinner, I immediately checked the insurance policies in my name.
I was shocked to find out Luna had taken out critical illness and accident insurance on me, totaling five million dollars.
The beneficiaries? She and Jayden.
Their scheme was practically slapping me in the face.
Good thing I found out in time. Otherwise, I'd be jumping out of my own coffin.
That night, my phone's cloud surveillance sent me an alert.
Sure enough, he went to my house, just as I expected.
And I started watching their little performance.
As soon as Jayden walked in, Luna threw herself at him.
Tonight, she was wearing lingerie I had never seen before, so skimpy it barely covered her backside.
Thinking back to her self-righteous claims that I had foolishly believed, it all seemed even more ridiculous now.
But Jayden pushed her away, sat down, and coldly lit a cigarette.
So, she could tolerate her lover smoking, just not me.
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you tired today?"
Luna was behind him, giving him a tender back massage.
"Your wonderful husband came to my clinic today. I hear you're trying for a baby. Why didn't I know about this?" Luna immediately panicked, clinging to his shoulders, speaking in a soft, pleading voice.
"Wasn't he supposed to be on a business trip? Why would he show up at your clinic?"
"Well, just pretend I'm talking nonsense!"
Jayden said that and started to leave.
Luna threw her arms around him, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't leave, I swear I'm not lying. Look at the messages he sent."
An hour earlier, I had already sent her my flight details and pictures of the airport, and she fully believed it.
Jayden's expression softened, and he started teasing her.
"So, have you been with him recently? I need to check! Or better yet, let your loser husband raise my kid!"
"Oh, stop it. You're so bad, but of course, you're in charge."
Luna pouted sweetly even over the screen. It was enough to make anyone's skin crawl.
"Not only did she cheat, but she wants me to raise their child!"
Jayden shoved her onto the couch, and their laughter filled the room.
Perfect timing. My mom's message popped up.
[Charles, I'm here.]
