When I rushed to the hospital, my mother-in-law’s family was already on the brink of death. The doctor said this kind of venomous snake was extremely rare, and only my husband’s company had the special antivenom serum. I kept calling my husband, Trent Lester, but every call was rejected. When I pressed the dial button for like the hundredth time, he finally answered. “Tonight is Karen’s birthday. I’ll keep her company for one night. Stop calling me!” Worried about the people in the emergency room, I swallowed my questions and rushed to say, “Our parents and younger sister were bitten by snakes. The hospital doesn’t have antivenom for this kind of snake. Only your company has it. Hurry and bring the serum here!” Before I could finish, Trent impatiently interrupted me, his tone mocking and cold. “One dose of antivenom costs more than a hundred thousand. Bella, are you serious?” “Your family got bitten and you come to me for free antivenom? What do you take me for, a sucker?” “Leave me alone, alright?” He hung up mercilessly and blocked me. I sat there blankly in the hospital chair, unable to believe those words had come from my husband. A notification popped up on my phone. It was from a Chanel sales associate, informing me that my parents had ordered a birthday gift for me, a limited-edition bag worth tens of millions. And it had just been picked up by my husband. No need to guess. That bag was probably hanging on Karen’s arm. He had done such things before, stealing my things and giving them to his crush, Karen. Every time I objected, he would sneer. “You’re already married. Carrying such an expensive bag out to show off? No one will even pay attention to you. Let Karen have it. She’s negotiating deals lately.” “Don’t be so petty. Karen is like my own sister! If you love me, you should tolerate my concern for her.” Karen was at the very center of his world. Limited-edition bags were given to her at will. He brought her sports cars and luxury houses, one after another. He’d literally done everything he could for her. And I, his real wife, wasn’t even worth a few life-saving doses of medicines. How ridiculous. Just as I was typing a message to the Chanel sales associate, Trent posted on social media. “The most valuable bag, for the one I love most. Tonight belongs to us.” Karen soon followed with her own post. “Your medicine didn’t just save my family-it saved my heart.” The photo showed the two of them cuddling intimately. Karen had my bag on her shoulder and held the special antivenom serum in her hand, smiling radiantly. My anger surged, and I nearly fainted with rage. Trent was truly heartless. To satisfy Karen, he spent money without hesitation, yet he ignored his own family! The doors of the emergency room slowly opened, and the doctor walked out. I hurried over. “Please give me a little more time. I’ll definitely get the medicine as soon as possible.” The doctor shook his head and removed his mask. “There’s no need. The patients no longer have vital signs. Please accept our condolences.”
My nose stung, and pain filled my heart. Just two hours ago, they were still laughing and chatting. In the blink of an eye, they had become five ice-cold corpses lying in the hospital, while their son was still enjoying himself outside. He was a total dick. I forced back my tears and sent a message to the sales associate. “I haven’t been to the store to pick up the bag. It must have been fraudulently claimed by someone else. Please call the police immediately.” The doctor said the venomous snake that bit my mother-in-law’s family was almost extinct in the country. That’s why the hospital didn’t have any antivenom. It was a strange coincidence. A venomous snake rare in the country got into my mother-in-law’s family tent. And five people died at once. The police took the case very seriously and launched an investigation right away. It didn’t take long to find out that someone had bought venomous snakes in bulk online and released them. The suspects turned out to be Karen’s parents. However, Trent actually tried to save them. When he learned the truth, he would go mad. The police explained to me, “Ma’am, although we’ve established the facts, these two suspects are currently undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital. So we can’t bring them in for questioning yet.” I replied expressionlessly, “They were also bitten by snakes, but the poison has already been neutralized.” “It won’t affect your interrogation. You can go over right now.” The police looked at me again, clearly puzzled by how I knew this. But seeing my exhausted expression, they didn’t ask further questions. “Rest assured, we will thoroughly investigate and give you an explanation.” After the police left, I filed a lawsuit on my phone. A sudden call interrupted me. Trent was furious and said, “Bella, are you deliberately causing trouble? I’m your husband. Can’t I help you pick up your bag?” “And you even called the police? Were you bitten by a venomous snake too? Is something wrong with you?” His rapid-fire accusations and curses showed no concern at all for how I felt at this moment. I said coldly, “That doesn’t make sense, because I never saw that bag at all. You said you picked it up for me. Fine. Then tell me, where is the bag now?” Trent fell silent. After a long stalemate, his tone softened, and he changed tactics. “You and I have been married for so long. Why be so calculating? Isn’t it all marital property anyway?” “Karen wanted a limited-edition bag. There’s only one in the domestic boutiques. Today happens to be her birthday. I just wanted to make her happy.” “It suits her perfectly when she carries it. I’ll tell her it’s from you. Don’t be so petty.” He was utterly shameless. I shot back, “How dare you say that? Why don’t you spend your own money to buy it for her? Damn bastard!” Trent froze for a moment, his voice full of disbelief. “What did you just say? Are you crazy?” In the past, I would have spare his pride and been very careful with my words. Looking back now, there was no need for that. I didn’t want to give him a chance to argue. I snapped, “If you’re even human, hurry to the hospital morgue and see the stupid thing you’ve done!” “They’re already dead. Me going there won’t bring them back! It’s such an auspicious day. Don’t bring bad luck on me!” Trent roared angrily, then added, “Don’t cremate their bodies yet. See if they can be sent to my company to be used as cadavers for teaching.” “Karen’s parents had an accident. She’s crying nonstop. I’m gonna stay with her first.” The call ended, and I laughed. So he thought it was my biological parents who had died. I had originally planned to let his parents be laid to rest as soon as possible. Now, I directly ordered five large freezers. Just as Trent wished, I had his entire family brought out of the morgue and sent to his company in a freight truck.
After a whole morning of chaos, I had just gotten home and was about to take a nap. But Trent rushed in and slapped me across the face. “Karen cried so hard she was about to pass out! Her parents just came out of the operating room, and you actually sued them. Do you have any humanity at all?” Covering my burning cheek, I sneered. “At least they’re still alive. Didn’t you give them all the remaining serum? The people bitten to death by the snakes they released are still lying in freezers, unable to rest in peace!” Trent’s eyes flickered as he craned his neck and yelled at me, “That serum is mine. I can give it to whoever I want! Your parents were crazy enough to insist on going camping in a park. Death was just their fate!” “Karen’s parents have already been taken in for questioning at the hospital because of this. Your whole family is dead. Can’t you show a little consideration for the living?” “Maybe your parents being bitten to death is the retribution for how vicious you are!” The more he spoke, the more self-righteous he became. “They’re elderly people. How could you bear to send them to prison? They didn’t mean to do it!” “Maybe your parents were destined to face this calamity. If not snake bites, they would’ve died some other way!” “Now that your entire family is gone, I’m the only one you can rely on in the future. Don’t be ungrateful.” Seeing that my expression remained cold and that I wasn’t persuaded at all, Trent softened his tone. “Bella, I know you’re in pain. But the dead can’t come back. The living still have to go on with their lives.” “Karen is kind-hearted and willing to compensate you fifty thousand. I’ll chip in as well. Let’s make it one million for you. That’s enough, right?” He spoke so calmly as if nobody had died. Five living, breathing lives were worth only one million in their eyes. Trent had been doted on by his parents since childhood. Thinking about how he would react when he opened the freezers and saw his parents inside, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “What are you laughing at?” Trent frowned. “Stop acting crazy. Say something.” “Fine.” I wiped away the tears and held up the payment QR code on my phone. “Transfer it to me now.” “Received a transfer of 1,000,000 dollars.” Karen put in fifty thousand. The remaining nine hundred and fifty thousand that Trent covered for her was probably all the liquid cash his company could scrape together. Seeing that I’d taken the money, Trent’s expression turned smug. “I’ll be straight with you. This morning, I issued a letter of forgiveness in your name as your spouse. Karen’s parents have long been cleared.” “You should thank Karen for being soft-hearted. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have this one million in compensation. As for the bag, go explain it to the officer and say you made a false police report. Don’t let them bother Karen anymore.” I sneered, took the divorce agreement I had prepared that morning from the bedside table, and slammed it in front of him. “Sign it. Return my bag, and we can call it even. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.” “Just for this, you want a divorce?” Trent’s face was full of anger. He was reluctant to lose my father’s connections. But he then remembered that my family was already dead. And Karen had cried to him yesterday, saying she wanted someone to rely on. Gritting his teeth, Trent quickly signed his name. He threw the divorce agreement back into my arms and turned to leave. I called out to him. I checked his signature carefully to make sure there were no mistakes. Only then did I say calmly, “Trent, even though we’re divorced, there’s still a one-month cooling-off period. After all, we were husband and wife. Let’s go to your company together and see your parents one last time.” “I’ve already followed your instructions and sent them to your company to be used as cadavers for teaching.” Hearing that I had sent them to the company, the coldness on Trent’s face finally eased a little.
