Now, he appeared completely smug, reveling in his victory and flaunting his success.In a cold tone, I asked, "How did you find the bug in the car?""Of course, I had someone check it out. If I can install cameras in the house to monitor you, you can do the same to me, right? So I had someone search my car, my office, everywhere—that's just basic, isn't it? There's no need to commend me for being smart."This guy is really full of himself, isn't he?I was gripping my fists so tightly that my palms were almost bleeding.Max said, "I won't waste time discussing the things you discovered, they don't matter. I always do things flawlessly. What could you possibly expose? When it comes to finances, you'll never surpass me.""So, how much did you embezzle behind my back, Max? Let's be honest here. We've been together for seven years, you owe me some transparency," I calmly said, looking at him.Max responded with disdain, "Not much, just five or six million in profits. It's not even en

At that moment, I could see the outcome of certain things. All I wanted was to kill Max right then and there, even if it meant sacrificing my own life. But a calm voice inside kept reminding me, "Jen, stay calm. Now is not the time. Losing your cool will ruin the bigger plan."Max pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and lit it. The flickering light of the lighter made his face look even more sinister. He put the cigarette in his mouth and started smoking effortlessly.Believe it or not, this was the first time in seven years that I had seen Max smoke."Honestly, I didn't do much. I just gave Aaron some medicine. After taking it, he would feel anxious, his hands would shake, his heart would weaken, and his nervous system would be out of control. It was raining that day, and after taking the medicine, he drove back from the summit with Mandy, and suddenly there was a car accident." Max chuckled, flicking ash from his cigarette. "Jen, it wasn't really my fault. A

"Haha, so you found out about the insurance I bought for you!" Max sneered, his expression vicious. "And now, you need to die!""Max, do you really think you're clever? If I die suddenly, don't you think the insurance company will investigate? Killing someone is a crime, you know," I said calmly, staring at him. I felt incredibly foolish, realizing that I had loved a venomous snake for years.Max shrugged indifferently. "Yes, murder is a crime. But if you commit suicide, what does that have to do with me? The insurance policy I bought also covers suicide. Did you think I would be stupid enough to trap myself?"He continued slowly, "Because you had a baby with congenital defects, you have been emotionally unstable, suffering from severe postpartum depression and suicidal tendencies. You didn't take your prescribed medication regularly and had multiple failed suicide attempts. I have all the evidence prepared, including your psychological evaluation, to prove your mental illness. You

I let out a bitter laugh. "Max, even if you despise my parents, I am your wife. I have given you my heart for seven years, and this is how you repay me? You are truly heartless. Calling you a beast is an insult to animals!""Wife? Hahaha, Jen, you are about to die, and you still hope I will go easy on you?" Max snarled, gripping my chin tightly. "Let me tell you, I never liked you!"He sneered, "If I didn't know that your father was Aaron Middleton, do you think I would have pursued you? Be a simp for you? Actually, saying that might be too harsh. Watching you dance around me like an idiot, I did feel slightly guilty. I thought that if you let me handle all your money, I wouldn't mind putting on an act in front of you forever. But you, you slut, you slept with someone else in a hotel!"Max's face contorted with rage as he spoke. "All these years, every time I wanted to have sex with you, you always had excuses—studying, safety precautions. Weren't you just playing hard to get? I tho

So, Max allowed his mom, Annie, to make me do all the housework and cooking. He wouldn't let me hire any help and even went on a business trip right before I was due to give birth. His plan was to be absent during the delivery, so if anything happened, he could claim no responsibility.It's truly vicious.Not even novels dare to go this far.I couldn't even put my shock into words.Max furrowed his brows angrily and said, "But you're tough as a cockroach, aren't you? You didn't die from the pain on the way to the hospital. Some idiot brought you in just in time. That really pissed me off. I had planned for so long for you to die in childbirth, and you survived. Now I have to figure out another way to kill you."That led to more and more plans, didn't it?Max tossed me aside. I lay on the ground, weakened by the pain in my head and my lack of strength.He looked down at me, pressing his foot on my head and grinding it in. "Alright, Jen, just stay here and wait for me. I'm going t
