Just then, my phone chimed. My assistant and team members were already waiting for me at the company. I didn't have time to consider the matter anymore, so I left it to the private investigator.

After that, I left the house with Elaine and dropped her off at Lois' place. I headed straight to the company after that.

Thanks to my past life's experience, the negotiation went smoothly this time. It only took two short days to get everything finalized. I hurried back to the company to report to my boss, to which he happily gave my team three days off.

The private investigator was efficient. He sent me several photos. While I'd been away on my business trip, Harvey had gone out with a woman and a little girl. They looked like they knew each other well and were intimate.

Harvey's gaze was filled with doting and affection as he looked at them. Anyone who saw them would think they were a happy family of three.

The private investigator told me the little girl was Tina, and the woman was called Lindsey Lane. Lindsey had gotten divorced last year and was currently unemployed.

She had a younger brother who was about to graduate from college, and her father had a minor role in the local Board of Education. He had a little bit of clout and money, so he wasn't bothered by Lindsey and Tina living off him.

I wasn't too upset to see them looking so happy together. All I wanted was for them to pay the price.

But wait…

I frowned when I saw the name Lindsey Lane. Then, some distant memories floated to the surface.

    Harvey and I had been together since high school. Back then, I was always the top of our class, and he was always teased for coming second to me. Our names were always placed together, and our seats in class were either before or after each other.Despite that, we didn't speak to each other in private for a whole semester. At most, we would help the teachers pass messages to each other. We even acted like we were strangers when we passed each other in the corridor.We only started getting to know one another during class one day. I generally remained in the classroom to do my revision when we had free time, but I suddenly felt stuffy that day. So, I headed to the corridor to take a break and get some fresh air.Unexpectedly, I ran into a female student upon opening the door. The uniform she wore indicated she was my junior, and her long hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. She looked shy, but she exuded vivacity."I'm so sorry for running into you. Could you… could you help me

    How had Lindsey come into the picture, though?The reason I'd never taken her existence to heart was because I didn't believe Harvey was so hung up on his so-called first love. After all, he wasn't even willing to let others know of her existence at the time.He'd only been upset for two days after their breakup, after which he'd gone back to normal, seemingly forgetting all about her. He didn't even bother informing her when we got married.I clutched my phone tightly before texting the private investigator and telling him to find out when Harvey and Lindsey had reconnected. I wanted to know whether Harvey had transferred any property or assets to her.I scrolled through the photos, feeling pissed. I decided to teach them a lesson before thoroughly destroying them. I called my uncle, who lived in a nearby city. He was in construction and regularly crossed into gray areas. Some of his subordinates were young men who were "mentally unstable".I told him everything and asked him to

    After hanging up, I leisurely got ready and even put on makeup. Then, I went to Lois' place to pick Elaine up before heading to the hospital with her. However, I was taken aback when I entered Harvey's ward and saw what was happening inside.Though I'd expected him and Lindsey to be shameless, I didn't think they would genuinely treat me like a fool. They were staying in the same ward, and Lindsey, who wasn't seriously injured, was using a damp Q-tip to moisten Harvey's lips.Tina was also in the ward. She leaned against Harvey's bed, looking like she was worried about him.Harvey wasn't doing too well. He'd barely made it out alive and was bandaged like a mummy. The only skin I could see was around his nose and mouth so he could breathe. It didn't look like he had many teeth left.I thought about what the doctor had told me—a few of Harvey's organs were ruptured, and his ribs and limbs were badly fractured. Even his groin was injured, which meant he likely wouldn't be able to get

    From that day onward, I headed to the hospital daily to "care" for Harvey. In truth, all I did was deliberately be affectionate with him and act coquettish around him. He'd probably never seen me act like this before and was happy to play along.Whenever this happened, Lindsey would think of ways to chase me away because she couldn't stand seeing us like that. Naturally, the burden of actually caring for Harvey landed on her shoulders.While putting on an act around Harvey, I also prepared for a property division. At the same time, I prepared to take Harvey to court in case he refused to get a divorce.One night, when we were having dinner, Elaine suddenly asked, "Do you remember the classmate I told you about, Mom? She's the first one Tina bullied. She later dropped out of school."I nodded. "Yeah, I do. What's up?""She contacted me today and said her father's back in the country. They want to invite us to their home as thanks for helping her!" Elaine held her head high and smil

    Elaine and I had a lovely, serene time before Harvey was discharged from the hospital. Aside from working, I spent more time taking her out for fun. We would even take Priscilla with us sometimes.I signed Elaine up for dance and martial arts classes, which she was interested in. When I saw her smiling more and becoming healthier, I grew even more determined to deal with Harvey as soon as possible. I wanted to guarantee that no one could ruin Elaine's future.The day Harvey was discharged, I brought him home while Lindsey and Tina watched jealously. I placed a cheap takeout meal I'd bought for less than ten dollars before him and told him I'd cooked it for him.He was back to looking like a normal human being, and he expressed his delight per his usual act. He looked like he enjoyed the food.In truth, he shouldn't have been eating anything spicy after just leaving the hospital, but he didn't seem to think anything was wrong with it despite claiming to be an expert at housework and

    After that day, I refused to see Harvey, no matter how often he came knocking. All I did was send the divorce agreement to his parents' home.Initially, he would write me long passages about how he loved Elaine and me. He also insisted he would never agree to a divorce. Later, he took a nasty turn and said there was no way he would leave without a penny to his name after everything he'd done for our family.However, his attitude did a 180-degree turn a month later. He didn't just agree to a divorce without a single dime—he attacked me verbally when we were finalizing the procedures. He admitted that he'd never liked my strong personality and didn't understand why I liked making a name for myself professionally when I was a woman.Whenever I returned home after a business meeting, he would wonder whether I'd closed the deal after sleeping with the client.Harvey also said Elaine was just like me, which was why he'd never liked her.

    My reason for killing my husband, Harvey Gray, was simple. He deserved it. He was gentle and polite and had volunteered to quit his job to become a stay-at-home husband and care for our daughter when my career was on the rise. Everyone thought he was perfect. But still…It all started when he'd asked Elaine Gray, our seven-year-old daughter, to cook a plate of pasta on our tenth wedding anniversary.It looked a little dry, and the meat was slightly burned. Still, she'd done a good job since it was her first time cooking.Harvey had Elaine hold the dish so he could take a photo. Then, he sent it to me while singing her praises. "Look at how amazing Elaine is, honey! I bet she'll be the best mother and wife when she grows up!"At that moment, I didn't realize what was wrong with his words. I even went along with him. "She's great, but you must've put a lot of effort into guiding her. I'll be home soon!"Harvey didn't reply after that. However, shortly after, I received an emerge

    "Mom…" Elaine's bleary voice pulled me out of my reverie.I couldn't help holding her close when I saw how adorable she was as she rubbed her eyes. She stiffened for a split second before relaxing. Then, she hugged me back."Have you just finished working, Mom?" She patted my shoulder. "I'll prepare breakfast for you. I've just learned how to cook chicken noodle soup!"I immediately thought about the pasta Harvey had asked her to make, and my heart clenched. I said, "You're amazing, Elaine! When did you learn this?"She was still young, so she couldn't help looking pleased when I complimented her. "Cooking isn't all I can do. I can sweep and mop the floor and fold the clothes. I even wiped the windows while standing on a chair!"When it's just Dad and me at home, he'll time me. He told me everyone likes little girls who are quick on their feet and good at housework. I was in such a rush to finish on time when wiping the windows once that I almost lost my balance…"Elaine seemed t
