Marriage With A Evil Heart

Chapter 44: Machinations Behind the Scenes



The next day, Robert, after waking up, continuously massaged his neck, appearing uncomfortable. I deliberately asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you keep pinching your neck?”

“Probably slept in a weird position! Haven’t had such a satisfying sleep in a long time!” Robert, still rubbing his neck, got out of bed. “You go back to sleep a bit more!”

“Still sleeping? Aren’t we supposed to go to the hospital?” I looked at Robert displeased.

He paused, as if realizing something, “Oh, right! I completely forgot about that!”

“How come you’re so indifferent to my health? Last time I mentioned a headache, you said it was fine. If it wasn’t for the hairdresser noticing, I would have thought everything was fine. I suspect you did it on purpose.” I spoke candidly.

“Darling, I promise when you showed me last time, it really didn’t look like this! How could you think that way about me? It hurts my feelings!” Robert looked innocent, “So, are you ready? Let’s go to the hospital!”

But, of course, we didn’t end up going to the hospital. Just as we were about to leave, Steven called, saying their father’s epilepsy had returned. It’s getting a little worse, asking him to come back immediately.

I inwardly chuckled, such a well-scripted performance with an assistant, I can’t believe in such coincidences.

“Oh, Did he suffer from epilepsy again? Honey, let’s go together to check on him!” I looked at Robert with genuine concern, “Come on, let’s go.”

If you’re acting, let’s all act together!

Robert caught me as I was about to leave, his face filled with affection, “Honey, you stay at home! I’ll just go check, and if there’s anything, with your health…”

“Oh, right, I might cause trouble with this body of mine!” I followed his words.

I walked back, looking concerned, “You go quickly then! Epilepsy isn’t a joke. I don’t care for a day or two. if it gets worse, we’ll go then.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Robert grabbed my hand and kissed my forehead, “I’ll go check the situation. If everything’s fine, I’ll come back and take you to the hospital!”

I nodded in agreement, pretending to be understanding, but sneered in my heart, full of lies.

As expected, Robert never came back. Not today, not for three consecutive days.

During these three days, I didn’t sit idle. First, I let Sherry “sleep” for three days without a hitch.

Then, I went to the hospital, thoroughly examined the wound on my head, and obtained a detailed diagnosis report.

I also contacted the kindergarten. Charles had to be sent there; otherwise, it would be an obstacle to dealing with Sherry.

I had Albert get me a few of the top-notch pinhole cameras. During Sherry’s deep sleep, I discreetly installed them in the most hidden places at home. I needed to counter-monitor, crack this life-and-death situation.

At last, I also arranged for another nanny, ready to start once I needed her. With everything in place, Scarlette returned to Southend with her mission. The thought of Robert’s transfer records made my heart race.

I checked the savings in our joint account, and the result left me stunned. A substantial amount of money was missing from our joint account, and there had been no record of deposits for a long time, heading towards bankruptcy.

This revelation left me weak, realizing that everything had truly changed. Apparently, Robert wanted to leave me with nothing.

Deal with the issues at hand. On the fourth day, when Robert returned, I straightforwardly asked him, “Hubby, why is so much money missing from our account?”

Perhaps Robert never expected me to check the accounts so soon. His face darkened, showing a hint of displeasure. He sat beside me with a tired expression, his hand gently rubbing my head. In a somewhat helpless tone, he explained, “I recently invested in a project with cutting-edge technology, which is currently among the best nationally and globally. The clinical data is quite promising. I’ve been researching it for a long time, hoping for exclusive control, so the capital investment is quite significant. Recently, you haven’t been feeling well, and I was afraid you’d be stressed, so I didn’t dare discuss it with you. I took matters into my own hands. Baby, you won’t be upset with me, will you?”

And so the act began! Entering the role really was quick.
