My Husband Let His Mistress Kill His MotherChapter 1 The Surprise
I intended to give my husband a surprise. Instead, I walked straight into a nightmare.
It was New Year's Eve. I had secretly brought my parents-in-law to Anthony's newly opened high-end restaurant, hoping to celebrate their return from abroad with a family dinner.
The service was suspiciously fast. In less than ten minutes, the table was full. But as the steam cleared, the reality was stark—these weren't fresh, chef-prepared meals. They were pre-made, industrial packets. Some of the meat still glistened with ice crystals, not even fully thawed.
My father-in-law's face darkened. He slammed his hand on the table and demanded the manager.
When she clicked her way over in high heels, my stomach dropped. It wasn't just any employee. It was Jasmine Maxwell, my husband's secretary.
"What kind of poverty-stricken trash thinks they're worthy of putting on airs here?" Jasmine crossed her arms, looking down her nose at us. "Serving you pre-made dishes is already more dignity than two old geezers like you deserve."
My in-laws sat frozen, their faces draining of color.
