On my brother’s birthday,I waited at the banquet hall for ten long hours,only to receive the news that he had been murdered.And the shock triggered my third miscarriage.Before being rushed into surgery,I begged Tom Howard,my husband,to search for my brother's killer.
He held me in his arms tenderly and swore that he would bring the murderer to justice.
However,when I regained consciousness,I overheard his conversation with his secretary.
“President Howard,what should we do with this surveillance footage?”
Without hesitation,Tom replied coldly,"This footage records the whole process of Alice killing Collin Jones.So,it must be destroyed."
"But…how are we going to explain this to Madam?"
“The only thing that matters now is making sure the evidence is destroyed and Alice doesn't get caught.As for Lucy Jones,my wife…she won't find out."
Turned out,my brother's murderer was Alice Morris and for her sake,my husband destroyed the evidence.
I took out my phone and,with trembling fingers,I called the number that had been buried deep in my contacts.
"I accept your proposal,but on one condition...we join forces to bring down the Howard Group!Help me gather evidence of Alice murdering my brother and send her to prison.I want to eradicate them all!"
“Deal.But I can only return to the country in seven days.I’ll find you then.”

After the call,the conversation continued outside my hospital room.Tom's voice was cold and detached,“This matter ends here.Collin died for the sake of my child with Alice.He died for a worthy cause.”
There's regret in the doctor's voice,"President Howard,the surgery was successful.We terminated Madam's third pregnancy.But making her lose three children in succession...isn't that a bit cruel?”
Tom's icy tone filled with cruelty,"Lucy is my legal wife and I have given her status and privilege.I made her undergo three abortions,so Alice would be the only one who could bear my heir.This is my compensation and promise to her.”
“Besides,she won't notice anything amiss with this miscarriage.From now on,I'll ensure she doesn't conceive again.That way,she won't have to endure the agony of miscarriage any longer.”
After hesitating,the doctor finally said,"This is Madam's third abortion and it has severely damaged her uterus.I'm afraid…she may never bear children again.”
Tom's lips curled sinisterly.“Isn’t that even better?Only if she can’t give birth will Alice and my child be able to enter legally into the Howard Family and become its sole heir."
His ruthless words shattered the last ounce of my love for him.
Gradually,the voices outside the ward faded.
Tom merely glanced at me through the glass before rushing impatiently to another room to see the child he had with Alice.
Tears streamed down my face,soaking my pillow.
I had thought this miscarriage was due to my emotional turmoil,but it was actually because of Tom's order.
I clenched my fists,forcing myself to stay composed.
When I accepted his proposal,his eyes filled with tears as he promised to cherish me for the rest of his life.
