Chapter 3

I asked, "Is Lily really sick now or...?"

The investigator shook his head, sounding regretful, "She's already lost her mind."

Looking at Lily's young, beautiful face on the table, I felt sorry for her. At such a good age, she should have had a bright future ahead, but now she could only stay in a psychiatric hospital.

After getting this information, I went home, planning to use it to force Jack to return our child and divorce me. The CEO of Saint Corp was already in his sixties and had never had a son. The baby in Lily's belly could be said to be his last hope. Jack had caused the loss of that child, so Mr. Saint must hate him.

So I wanted to use this point to make Jack compromise.

However, I didn't expect that when I went to negotiate with Jack, Fiona was there too.

When I laid out the evidence on the table, Fiona's presence made me realize something was off.

Since when had Jack and Fiona become so close that he'd bring her to our home?

Just as I thought this, I saw Fiona pick up the evidence from the table and smile meaningfully, "So you really found out, huh."

I immediately sensed something was wrong. Fiona had already torn up the evidence I had worked so hard to gather.

As she tore it up, she looked at Jack, "She already knows everything. Is there any point in keeping her around? If she goes to the old man and exposes us, what chance will we have?"

My heart sank as I suddenly realized what was happening.

Could it be that Jack and Fiona were in cahoots, and they had deliberately caused Lily to lose the baby?!

If Lily's child was really born, it would indeed be a threat to Fiona. Lily was young and beautiful, and she was carrying a son. With that, she could easily take Fiona's place.

But I never imagined they would intentionally scheme to make Lily lose the baby! These two monsters! Weren't they afraid of karma?!

I was furious at their actions, but Jack said, "You think Saint Corp's deal was really closed because of you? The only reason I've kept you around until now is because of that insurance policy!"

Jack and I had signed a contract before marriage stating that if one party died accidentally, the other would receive a huge accidental death payout. So that was his plan all along!

I suddenly started shaking all over and turned to run!

But Jack had anticipated this and worked with Fiona to knock me out!

When I woke up, I found myself in a sealed wooden crate.

It was tightly sealed on all sides, with only a tiny gap at the top where I could see outside.

It was pitch black outside, with occasional shadows of leaves making me realize we were in some remote wilderness.

Before I could fully react, the crate containing me was heavily set down, and someone knocked on the side.

It was Fiona.

She seemed to know I was awake and said to me, "You might as well reincarnate soon. Your husband doesn't love you, your child isn't with you, and you don't even have any money to your name. What's the point of living like this?"

After saying that, she put me into a large pit. The sound of sand and dust hitting the crate told me she was trying to bury me alive.

I struggled and cried out, wanting to see Jack. I couldn't believe that after so many years together, our relationship meant nothing to him. How could he be so heartless as to want me dead?

But I heard Jack's voice outside saying, "Ava, rest in peace. In a few days, I'll let our child come join you."

At that moment, my heart completely shattered. I kept kicking at the crate, trying to save myself, to escape. I desperately hoped that if I could get out, I would protect my child and make this evil couple pay for what they'd done!

But the sand kept piling up thicker, and the air in the crate was getting thinner. I felt like I was about to die.

But after who knows how long, suddenly someone tapped on the crate and pried open the lock.
