The truth lifted the last veil covering their ugly secrets.

It turned out that every night,while I was in a deep sleep,Zack would secretly get up in the middle of the night and go to the top floor to fool around with that bitch,Wendy.

That night,the entire process of the two of them fooling around was captured on the miniature camera.

They did it four times in one night—moaning,panting,their absurd sounds intertwining—more shameless and explicit than a certain country’s adult films.

Afterwards,Zack carried Wendy to the bathroom and the two of them did it again in the bathtub.

"When are you going to tell that ugly woman the truth?"Wendy asked,resting her head on Zack's chest.

With a satisfied look on his face,Zack kissed her on the lips and said,"Wait until she finishes her postpartum confinement,then the demolition compensation will come through."

"I heard the Lewis Family's demolition compensation is the highest.They have several six-story self-built houses,worth about 400 million dollars,"Wendy said excitedly.

With the cash in the hot pot chain store’s account,gathering 700 or 800 thousand dollars in cash wouldn’t be a problem.Plus,Zack’s villas,luxury cars and other shops,along with miscellaneous assets,probably totaled at least 140 million dollars.

Once they got that money,Wendy could directly go abroad and live a laid-back life.

"You think Sandra will transfer the money to you?And can you get the money from your company’s account as soon as possible?"Wendy said,acting coquettishly.

Zack patted his chest and said,"That ugly woman loves me so much that she'd die for me.Before she finishes her postpartum confinement,I'll definitely get the U-key from the public account."

"Honey,you're the best!"

"Of course,I'd give you my life.What’s a little money?"

***

At 2 a.m.,Zack reluctantly left the room.

I had spent a considerable amount of time saving and uploading the video.Just as I was about to turn off the camera,the door to the room suddenly pushed open.

This time,the man who entered was not Zack.

I looked at him again and again,finally dumbfounded.

Wasn’t that the husband of Mrs.Lincoln,the high-necked postpartum woman who had checked into the maternity center with me and was staying in the room next door?

What followed was yet another steamy,eye-watering live stream.

Unexpectedly,Wendy was playing the field,juggling two men at the same time.

I quickly saved the video,uploaded it to the cloud and planned to find the right opportunity to send it to Mrs.Lincoln.

Dealing with a mistress didn't always require getting one's hands dirty.

After collecting the evidence,I didn’t immediately tear off the mask but secretly prepared another big plan:to make the scumbag leave with debts.

***

The next day.

Wendy came early in the morning to visit me and the baby,bringing several boxes of the"good stuff"she had sent before.She reminded me to take the medicine and apply it daily,both internally and externally.

Every time Wendy saw the baby,she couldn't stop smiling,hugging and kissing,repeatedly saying,"Godmother loves you."

Previously,I thought that our close friendship was as strong as gold and that's why Wendy would show so much love for the baby.

She even gifted the child a$10,000 safety lock right after birth.

I never expected that I was the real fool,reduced to being the surrogate tool for my husband and his mistress.

"Wendy,if you love children so much,why don't you have one yourself?"I asked tentatively.

Wendy played with the baby,not even looking up as she replied,"I'm afraid of the pain and messing up my figure,so I don't want to have one myself.Isn't it better to just take someone else's?"

"Is that so?"I snorted coldly.

Realizing she had misspoken,Wendy hurriedly corrected herself,"No,no,Sandra...Actually,it's okay if the figure changes,stretch marks and all.As long as you follow my instructions and take the medicine and apply it daily,I guarantee you'll be able to get your figure back to what it was after the confinement period."

This woman pretended to show sympathy on the surface,but a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Soon,the man would be hers and the child would be hers too.

I,the ugly woman,would just wait to be forced out with nothing.

Soon,Zack came in,took the baby from Wendy’s hands and said with a smile,"Godmother's tired of holding you,let Daddy take you."

"Zack,take the baby out and let the nanny take care of him.I’m tired and want to rest,"I said,rubbing my brow.

Seeing the severe dark circles under my eyes,Zack still maintained his usual hypocritical warm demeanor."You've been taking care of the baby and I know it's been tiring.Just hand him over to the nanny and rest well.Once the confinement period is over,I’ll give you a surprise."

Coincidentally,after the confinement,I would also have a surprise to give Zack.

“Thank you,honey.”

"Drink the milk first,the doctor said you need to supplement with calcium and protein after giving birth."

Under Zack's coaxing,I drank the milk that had been laced with sleeping pills.I pretended to feel drowsy and waited until the bedroom door was closed.

Then,I quickly stuck my fingers down my throat and vomited the milk I had just drunk.Less than fifteen minutes later,the caregiver pushed the baby to the bathroom.Soon,sounds of heavy breathing and restrained moans came from the guest bedroom next door.

"Zack,is this really okay?Sandra is still sleeping in the next room."

"Don't you think this is even more exciting?Am I amazing,honey?"

"Honey…Mmm…You're so bad!Harder...Yes,like that...I'm about to fly to the sky!"

"Wendy,you're so naughty.That ugly woman can't compare to even a single strand of your hair!"

"Honey,I want to change my car!"

"Buy it,we'll go to the store tomorrow to look at cars!"

Absurd sounds came from the next room,like the sharpest blades,each one cruelly cutting at my heart.

I reached under the pillow,but this time,what I found wasn’t a pair of scissors.Instead,it was the equity pledge agreement and the divorce agreement.

One hour later.

I walked out of the bedroom and ran into Zack,who was disheveled.There was a fleeting panic in his eyes,but it quickly returned to normal.

"Sandra,you're up so soon.Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Mm,I slept too much during the day,so I’m a bit dizzy,"I replied,intentionally yawning.

Zack hurriedly stepped forward to massage my temples,putting on a concerned expression as he gently coaxed me,“You’ve worked so hard,honey.Once things settle down at the company,I’ll take you to the Maldives for a vacation,then to Europe for shopping as a reward for giving me a big,healthy baby boy!”

“What about the baby if we go away?”I pushed Zack away.

Zack thought for a moment,then wrapped his arm around my waist and said,“We’ve got a nanny anyway.I’ll have my mom come over to help take care of him.If you don’t trust my mom,there’s always Wendy,right?”

"How do you know Wendy can take care of a baby?"My expression darkened.

Zack held my hand and coaxed in a low voice,"Didn’t you say so yourself?Wendy is the baby’s godmother.When the two of us want some couple time,we can just leave the baby with her."

He used to claim he wasn’t close to Wendy,but now he was calling her“godmother”so intimately.

If only Zack knew that the night he had just left,Wendy had immediately hooked up with other men,what would he think then?

“Honey,my dad’s planning to buy some dividend insurance policies for the baby.Just sign these before you head to the office,”I said,pulling some documents from a folder and placing them on the table.

On top of the stack was indeed a child education insurance policy.Zack,in a rush to leave,didn’t look closely and signed his name directly in the signature field.

“Dad’s so good to the baby.I’ll have to thank him in person later.”

“Of course,the baby is their precious little treasure,”I replied,watching closely as Zack finished signing.Then I urged,“Once you’re done,head back to the office.The company’s preparing to go public.It’s hard work for you.”

“It’s nothing!”Zack adjusted his tie and hurriedly left the postpartum care center.

I looked over the agreements one more time to make sure nothing was missed,then immediately called my lawyer.

Over the next two days,under my authorization,Jane took leave from the postpartum center,using a cold as an excuse.

With the access code,Jane successfully entered the villa.

In the master bedroom,every valuable item—luxury brand clothing,jewelry,handbags and premium health supplements—was packed up and moved out without leaving a trace.

When I received the fake necklace from the safe,I finally understood why Wendy had one that looked exactly the same around her neck.

That despicable scumbag had actually pulled a switch,giving the 400 thousand dollar necklace to his mistress and putting a nearly identical fake back into the safe.

‘Fine,if you’re heartless,don’t blame me for being ruthless!’

I handed the fake necklace to Jane,instructing her to find a way to swap it back the next time Wendy came to see the baby.

Once that was settled,I liquidated all my personal stocks and mutual funds.Every cent from the company’s corporate account was also transferred to an offshore account abroad,down to the last penny.

I was grateful I had the foresight to place a trusted confidante in the company’s finance department.

By the time everything was in order,there were less than three days left before the end of my postpartum confinement.

Keeping it from everyone,I quietly made a trip to the immigration office to apply for a business visa.As for the immigration process,I wasn’t in a rush.I left that entirely to the agency to handle.

Next came the procedures for mortgaging the villa,commercial properties,equity shares and luxury cars,as well as applying for a massive business loan under the company’s name.

In the blink of an eye,it was the day before the end of my postpartum confinement.

Sure enough,Zack brought up the matter of the company’s U-shield(USB security token for banking).

“I heard from finance that the password was entered incorrectly yesterday and the U-shield got locked.I checked with the bank,they said the earliest it can be reset is tomorrow,”I explained.

After transferring out all the company’s liquid cash,I had instructed the finance staff to deliberately enter the wrong password three times to successfully lock the account.

“No worries,I’ll just tell finance to make the supplier payments tomorrow,”Zack replied casually.

At this moment,Zack was filled with joy as he planned the baby's upcoming welcoming party.He was already dreaming about getting the money and filing for divorce right after.

Little did he know,I had already quietly turned all the couple’s assets into liabilities,mortgaging everything to banks and private institutions.

“Sandra,we have to make the baby's welcoming party a grand event.This kid takes after me.He's bound to do great things in the future,”Zack said,eyes brimming with fatherly pride.

Yohana chimed in from the side,“Exactly!My son is so outstanding,truly one in a million!In just a few years,the company’s about to go public.Our grandson is definitely destined for greatness too!”

‘Ridiculous!’

All the investment in the hotpot restaurant came from me.I was the one who found the suppliers and handled all the follow-up marketing and promotion.

How had all the credit suddenly become Zack’s alone?

Yohana turned to look at me.After postpartum,my figure had become noticeably fuller and dark circles shadowed my eyes.Unable to resist a jab,she mocked coldly,“Sandra,can’t you at least try to make yourself presentable?Look at you!If people see you out there,you’ll embarrass the entire Orgeta Family.”

“Look at Wendy.She’s got curves in all the right places and keeps herself in great shape.She’s even the owner of this postpartum care center.And you?You’re nothing.”

My expression instantly darkened.
