Swindled By Hubby Who Faked His Death Chapter 6
Max was yanked out of the bedroom by his collar, his feet barely touching the ground, while Evan, clearly pretending to be clueless, rushed to my side. "Mom, who are these people?" he asked, feigning innocence. I didn't bother responding. Instead, I stood back, watching the unfolding drama with quiet detachment. In my previous life, it had been these very same thugs who had come to collect the debt. Back then, I had been alone with Evan, always worrying about shielding him from the harsh realities while dealing with these lowlife debt collectors. I spent months in a constant state of mental and physical exhaustion, battling them off one by one. "Max, you owe our boss 1.5 million. Out of the kindness of his heart, he's willing to settle for 1.7 million, interest included," the leader of the group said, his voice dripping with mock generosity. "When will you have it? Give us a real answer." These men were the real deal—ruthless and cold-blooded. Even Max looked terrified, a s

The moment I submitted the evidence, Max was immediately summoned by the police. Along with him, Rena was also brought in for questioning. The police swiftly launched an investigation, but due to insufficient evidence, only Max was detained. Rena, to my frustration, was released shortly after. Through his constant contact with Rena, Evan quickly learned of Max's detention. Somehow, she managed to twist the truth, convincing Evan that it was all my fault. She made him believe that if I had sold the house to pay off the debts, none of this would have happened, and the police wouldn't have come after Max. When Evan stormed into the house that day, his face was flushed with anger as he confronted me."This is all your fault! Do you see what you've done to Dad?!" he yelled, his voice thick with rage. "It's just a house! Why won't you sell it? You only ever think about yourself!" I stood there, watching him, taking in the sight of my eighteen-year-old son. Despite his age, he behave

"What do you mean? Are you saying you want to sever our relationship? But I'm your son. You wouldn't!" Evan's voice trembled with disbelief, and as the silence stretched between us, I could hear the fear creeping into his tone. "No! You can't do this! Even if you leave, you have to leave me some money. "What about our house? What happened to the property deed?" I couldn't help but smile, a bitter twist of my lips. "Your father lost it all. Have you forgotten?" His face went pale, his eyes widening in shock. "That's impossible! Dad still has money in his foreign accounts—lots of it! Aunt Rena told me. I was going to be a rich kid!" I regarded him with a mixture of pity and sadness. "What your father did was illegal. Now that he's in jail, all his accounts are frozen."I paused for a moment, letting the weight of my words sink in. "Just a heads-up—the lease for this place is up soon. I suggest you find a decent factory job in the next few days. I won't be giving you another pe

"Are you Max Chase's wife? Your husband suffered a brain hemorrhage and, despite our best efforts, he passed away an hour ago." Half an hour earlier, I received a call from a private hospital near our home and rushed over, only to be greeted with the news of my husband's death the moment I walked through the door. Beside me, my son, Evan Chase, had already been waiting. His eyes were red and swollen as he looked up at me. "Mom, Dad... he's gone." I stared at the figure being wheeled out, covered in a white sheet, and then at my son, devastated beside me. It felt like a dream, unreal and suffocating. In my previous life, seeing Evan like this had broken my heart. Tears in my eyes, I had pulled him into my arms, trying to comfort him."Don't worry, Evan. Even if it's just the two of us, I won't let you suffer. I promise." But only days after Max's death, the debt collectors had come knocking. That's when I learned the truth—my husband had racked up nearly a million in gambli

Looking at my son's familiar, false display of grief, my heart turned cold. Evan noticed my silence, the sobbing stopping abruptly as he lifted his eyes to meet mine."Mom?" he called out cautiously. My lips curled into a small, almost mocking smile and I walked over to Max's hospital bed. Without hesitation, I yanked the white sheet off his body. The movement was so sudden that the doctors and nurses standing nearby had no time to stop me.There lay my husband, his face unnaturally rosy. I even caught the slight twitch of his fingers—a detail I hadn't missed this time. It was laughable, really. Such a poorly staged act, yet in my previous life, I had fallen for it so easily. Back then, out of fear of upsetting Evan, I hadn't dared to lift the sheet and see Max's body. I had been too blinded by grief to notice the guilty expressions of the attending doctors standing nearby. I coldly scanned the room, locking eyes with the lead physician. This private hospital was already

Evan's face was filled with panic as he spread his arms wide, blocking the hospital bed where Max lay. "No! I do not consent!" he shouted, his voice cracking under the strain. I pretended to scold him, my tone condescending but calm. "This is grown-up business. When did you get the right to interfere, child?" Sweat dotted his forehead as I stood by, watching him with cold indifference. His guilt was written all over his face, and I had no intention of letting him off the hook. "Mom, don't you love Dad the most? How could you bear to let him go without a whole body?" His voice was filled with desperate pleading. But I remained unmoved. "Organ donation is a way to save lives. I'm helping him earn some merit. Who knows, maybe in his next life, he'll be born into a good family," I said, my tone steady.Seeing that his words had no effect, Evan tried to hold his ground, glancing around frantically as if waiting for someone to show up. And then, his eyes lit up. "Aunt Rena!" he

Max suddenly sat up, startling the staff from the organ donation agency around him. He pulled off the white sheet covering his body, his face shifting between pale and flushed as if he couldn't believe the plan had unraveled so quickly. His expression was dark, frustrated, knowing full well that things were not going as smoothly as he had expected. Rena, ever quick to react, rushed to his side, pulling Evan with her. They hurriedly stood in front of Max as if trying to shield him from further exposure. "What's going on here? Doctor, could there have been an issue with the equipment?" she shouted, her voice loud enough to carry across the room. Though her words were framed as a question, I, already aware of the truth, heard the veiled threat in her tone. It was a simple ploy, one I knew all too well: push the blame onto a "technical mistake," turn a disaster into a minor incident, and make everything quietly disappear. The attending doctor, clearly sensing the pressure, stam
