The Revelation of Love's Truth

After my daughter passed away, a man claiming to be my husband's boyfriend showed up and caused a scene at the funeral.

He called himself the "real partner" and accused me of being the "mistress" who ruined their relationship.

"Ivan Scott and I are the real couple! You're just the one who came between us!"

"He only married you because he had no choice and needed someone to have a child with. Now that the child is gone, you should get a divorce right now!"

In the middle of the argument, a priceless antique painting worth over a hundred million dollars went up in flames.

Watching the chaos, I hid my anger with a cold smile.

True love?

Let's see just how much the “star-crossed lovers” really care about each other!

My daughter succumbed to illness, leaving me in a state of utter despair as I sat before the mourning hall, sobbing uncontrollably.

The guests who came were all steeped in grief.

My husband, who was supposed to attend the funeral, was too entangled in work commitments to be present.

In my desperation, I reached for the phone to call him, but my fingers slipped and opened an app instead. The man who appeared in the video was hauntingly familiar.

Isn't that Ivan's childhood friend from his time studying abroad?

Though we had never met, our house was adorned with countless photos of the two, chronicling their journey from innocence to maturity, from elementary school to graduation, encompassing nearly all of Ivan's early life.

Driven by concern and inexplicable curiosity, I found myself drawn into the livestream.

The man on the screen, whose voice choked with emotion, was tearfully denouncing an affair, claiming that the homewrecker's daughter had just passed away and that he was poised to catch her in the act!

“Friends, my boyfriend has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his mistress and even married her secretly. I was completely blindsided until today!”

“Now that the mistress’s daughter has died, it’s just karma! The universe sees everything—mistresses always get their comeuppance!”

“I’ve found out where she’s holding the funeral for her daughter. When I get there, I’m going to wreck the place. Her daughter doesn’t deserve any respect!”

With the revelation of Ethan Colin's identity as a gay man and the scandal of infidelity, the livestream quickly surged to over a hundred thousand viewers.

I was stunned by the dramatic turn of events surrounding Ethan Colin.

What shocked me even more was discovering his sexuality.

It appeared that his boyfriend might be a deceitful gay man, though I would hold off on judging the truth of the situation.

I resolved to reach out to Ivan without delay. As for Ethan’s situation, I planned to address it only after settling our daughter’s affairs.

Unfortunately, Ivan’s phone remained persistently unreachable.

I tried to stay patient, knowing that the time was drawing near and that it couldn't delay the scheduled burial.

I turned off my phone and followed the funeral director’s instructions to prepare my daughter for her final rest.

Just as I finished arranging her hair and was about to take another look, a loud commotion broke out outside.

Before I could even step out to see what was happening, I was suddenly pushed to the ground.

Blinding lights were shining directly in my face before I could react.

Ethan’s voice was sharp, and his eyes were filled with malice.

“Friends, this is the woman who’s been having an affair with my boyfriend! Take a good look at her—don’t hesitate to confront her if you see her again!”

“People like this need to be taught a lesson! I can’t imagine what kind of family raised someone so shameless. Are you pleased with yourself for stealing someone else’s boyfriend?”

Ignoring the pain in my scratched palms, I frowned in confusion.

“You must have the wrong person. I’m already married. This is my daughter’s funeral—please leave, or I won’t be so polite!”

Ethan sneered and taunted, “Affairs are something. Even when faced with such a tragedy, you remain so composed! Should we show her what’s what, everyone?”

He shoved his phone in my face and said, “Your daughter’s death is just the consequence of your affair. She didn’t deserve to live!”

I struggled to get up, burning with anger but trying to stay calm.

“If you say one more word like that, I’ll call the police. My daughter isn’t someone you can defame without proof!”

Ethan let out a derisive snort, pulling out another phone and opening the photo gallery. He raised it high for everyone to see.

“Look at this—these are the bills my boyfriend paid for you! Hundreds of thousands of dollars. What’s your excuse now?”

“You used my boyfriend’s money! You schemed to get pregnant by him and then forced him into marriage!”

When I didn’t answer, he flipped through more photos.

“These are pictures of me with my boyfriend. We were together for nine years. You took advantage of my time abroad to get involved with him. If I hadn’t come back and seen his phone, I’d still be clueless!”

As I stared at the intimate photos on the screen, my frown grew deeper.

I couldn’t believe that the boyfriend Ethan was talking about was my husband of five years, Ivan Scott!

The payment bills were genuine, but he used a supplementary card that I had given him.

Suddenly, everything fell into place.

It made sense why he’d been making excuses to skip our daughter’s funeral and why he hadn’t taken her to the hospital when she was sick.

Ivan was nothing more than a freeloader. My father had left all of his inheritance to my daughter, Sophia, specifically to prevent Ivan from taking it.

With Sophia’s death, however, things started to look even more suspicious.

Ivan’s monthly salary was only 1,000 dollars, and the rest of his expenses were covered by my supplementary card. I never imagined he would use that card to manipulate the situation!

Seeing my shocked expression, Ethan smirked and said, “So, no more excuses? Either pay up, or I’ll have you arrested!”

He then held up several screenshots from his phone for the livestream audience, sounding self-righteous.

“Friends, I know that gay relationships aren’t always accepted, but that doesn’t justify her interfering in other people’s relationships!”

His voice grew more intense.

“Pay me back immediately, or I’ll make sure you regret it!”
