Chapter 4

Direct vehicular destruction and loss of life on the spot.

It turns out Nolan had already made preparations for my accidental death long ago.

In my previous life, I happened to witness a car accident, which left me with some psychological trauma. As a result, I chose not to drive for a while afterward.

Eventually, Nolan grew impatient and decided to take me on a hiking trip, where he planned to push me off a cliff to my death and then collect on my accidental death insurance policy.

My car was quickly repaired, and I had them check for any tracking devices, thankfully finding none.

I also had them photograph the evidence of tampering with the brake pads and send the pictures to me.

As luck would have it, the company distributed quarterly bonuses today, which I hadn't yet told Nolan about.

So I used this money to hire a private investigator to look into and follow Nolan.

By evening, the private investigator sent me a file.

The file contained several photos, showing Nolan kissing a woman.

There were also many pictures of Nolan giving gifts to this woman.

The woman's name is Evelina, and she works as a receptionist at Nolan's company.

It turns out Nolan had been unfaithful to me for a while, and he'd been buying Evelina lots of luxury items.No wonder Nolan always said the company's finances were poor, that there was no money left to save, and that he'd even used up our previous savings.

In all the years I've been with Nolan, apart from the jewelry he bought for our wedding, he never bought me any expensive gifts.

Even when I had my eye on a Chanel bag I'd wanted for ages, I held back from buying it for myself, thinking we needed to save money.

But it turns out he was using our money to buy one thing after another for other women.

I feel like such a fool.

Then there's a picture of Nolan and Evelina at a casino in Vegas.

No wonder Nolan, who rarely traveled for work, had been lying to me about going on business trips recently, and kept saying he needed to go on more.

It turns out Evelina had been taking Nolan to gamble in Vegas. At first, Nolan must have won and got a taste for it, then he couldn't stop, getting in deeper and deeper.

When he finally lost everything, he mortgaged our house and car, took out a bunch of online loans and payday loans, and kept gambling, thinking he could turn things around.

In the end, with debt collectors breathing down his neck, he had no choice but to embezzle company funds to pay off his debts. Now he's trying to figure out how to replace the company money, or else he's facing jail time.Evelina had just become pregnant, so they planned to murder his wife for the insurance money. If the payout from my accidental death policy wasn't enough, they were even prepared to kill his mother for her insurance as well.

This way they could neatly cover up their debts and have extra money left over to bring Evelina home as his new bride.

Oh Nolan, Nolan, you've calculated everything so perfectly.

I've been by your side all these years, and this is how you repay me in the end. You're truly heartless.

Seeing the photos the private investigator sent of him together with Evelina, and finding my accidental death insurance policy in Nolan's bag, I was reminded of the horrific scene from my past life when Nolan pushed me off that cliff to my death.

I desperately wanted to cut open Nolan's chest to see if his heart was truly black.

After receiving the documents, I told the private investigator to keep me updated on Nolan's whereabouts at all times.
