My important material at work was suddenly stolen.
The most suspicious is my husband Nathan Reed's so-called closest 'family', Carol。
When I questioned Carol, she pretended to be innocent, blinking her big eyes as if it was all my fault: "Claire, how could you doubt me?"
Even worse, my husband Nathan Reed refused to support me and instead tried every means to sabotage the investigation of my case.
What they didn't realize was that this matter was far more serious than they had imagined.
My real identity is employed by a confidential government research institution.
The things Carol stole are not only dangerous, but also deadly.

Radioactive Love, A Deadly Triangle of Lies

This instance, Nathan opted not to shield Carol's actions.


His admission led the authorities, accompanied by Elliot and his scientific team, to don protective gear and unearth the stolen Iridium-192 from Carol's garden, hidden beneath a flowerbed.


The dangerous material appeared innocuous—a simple metal keychain.


Elliot carefully secured the radioactive substance and transported it to the laboratory for appropriate handling.


Nathan recounted the events in a lifeless tone: "We only exposed it once. It sat in our living area for two hours."


Those brief hours proved catastrophic. The radiation exposure had left both of them—confined in the same space—severely affected.


With the mystery resolved, law enforcement released an official statement.


Carol's already tarnished image was completely destroyed.
