Book3–Chapter 1
In order to prolong my life as a terminal cancer patient, my best friend and I entered into a
same–marriage system.
We successfully conquered the Delacruz brothers and became the admired sisters–in–law that everyone envied.
However, seven years later, I was despised and neglected by my husband and son.
My bestie was sent to prison for “bullying” her husband’s beloved. On the day of her release, she Muh
said, “Take care of yourself.”
Then, she rushed into the traffic and in an instant, she was crushed to pieces by the speeding truck.
My best friend, Alisa Mercer, left decisively.
I couldn’t bear this tremendous blow, and at the moment when her body was shattered into pieces from the impact, I fainted due to the heartache.
When I woke up, my busy CEO husband was sitting beside me.
Noel Delacruz was the president of the Delacruz Group, and he was also the heir to Pearldale.
This was the first time I saw him in the past two months.
He glanced at me expressionlessly and said, “Awake?”
I ignored him and quickly got out of bed, rushing towards the door.
Ethan Delacruz, Noel’s brother, was currently holding a photo of his beloved, his foster sister Megan Delacruz, with a gentle smile on his face.
As I watched their affectionate appearance, Alisa’s eyes filled with despair came to my mind.
Reason was almost completely obliterated at this moment.
I stormed over in a fit of anger and slapped Ethan hard across the face.
Megan screamed and stood up, shouting, “Sister–in–law, why did you hit Ethan?”
I slapped her directly, causing her to fall onto the sofa, and angrily said, “You little bitch, don’t worry, it will be your turn soon.”
With red eyes, Megan looked at Ethan. Her porcelain doll–like face was filled with grievances. She softly called out, “Ethan…”
Ethan immediately stood in front of her and looked
at me, saying, “Sister–in–law, what’s gotten
into you all of a sudden? I know, it must be that woman Alisa who said something to you!”
Bastard! It’s bad enough that he’s protecting the mistress, but he also takes the opportunity to step on Alisa. He’s truly nothing but an asshole.
I slapped him a few times angrily and cursed, “It’s clearly you who drove Alisa to death, and yet you
dare to blame her?”
“You’re the murderer. Alisa’s only mistake was not taking you, this couple of scoundrels, down
with her when she died!”
Ethan was t taken aback, his face turning pale. “What… What did you say? Alisa is dead?”
Yeah, they didn’t know that Alisa had died.
Today was supposed to be the day she was released from prison, and then divorced this scoundrel, leaving the Delacruz family behind and starting a new life.
However, Megan went to provoke Alisa, causing her to decisively leave this world!
Noel grabbed my wrist and frowned displeasedly, saying, “Lara Becker, stop it! Are you crazy?”
I slapped him backhandedly, and in his shocked gaze, I saw my own crazed expression. “What? I hit your brother. You came to stop me?”
“Did you become mute or die when they teamed up to bully Alisa?”
Noel’s face grew colder and colder. “If it weren’t for her despicable tactics and her actual
involvement with Ethan in the first place, Ethan would never have been interested in her. She was just being strategic, all for the purpose of climbing up the Delacruz family ladder.”
“How could she bear to die after finally becoming the Mrs. Delacruz? Lara, don’t be deceived.”
Megan also said, “Yeah, I heard someone say that they ran into my sister–in–law on the street today. Lara, you weren’t tricked by her, were you?”
“You cared so much about her, but she used you to disturb the peace of the Delacruz family. She simply malicious…”
Ethan’s eyes brightened slightly, clearly believing their words. He exclaimed angrily, “How did I not see her cunning nature before? Lara, please convey to her that if she continues to sow discord. like this, I will truly divorce her!”
Looking at the faces of these three siblings, I couldn’t help but be consumed by anger.
Although Alisa did indeed exploit a loophole back then, it was what led to the rapid culmination of this marriage.
But the medicine that night was not administered by her at all.

And she was willing to sleep with Ethan just to finish the tasks earlier and save me from danger.
What she cared about was my life, not the wealth of the Delacruz family.
But this silly girl, she actually fell in love with that jerk Ethan.
She once shyly told me, “Lara, marrying Ethan was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I wanted to have a bunch of children with him and live happily with him until old age!”
But in the end, she only gained an unfeeling and unfaithful man, along with hair dyed red with
blood.
Thinking of this, I felt a deep pain in my heart.
I slapped Noel hard again and angrily said, “If you insult Alisa again, I will kill you!”
As soon as the words fell, a small shadow came rushing towards me like a bullet, and knocked me down directly on the ground.
My son, Odin Delacruz, angrily glared at me and said, “How dare you hit my dad! Get out, we don’t welcome you in our house!”
