Husband Left Me for a Hundred Million That Never ExistedChapter 1

At the company’s year-end party, joke scratch cards were handed out to everyone, each showing a fake win of one hundred million.

Finding it pointless, I didn’t even scratch mine and simply brought it home.

After finishing my shower, I came out and noticed the card was gone, my husband’s face glowing with excitement.

I was just about to explain that the scratch card wasn’t real.

The next moment, my mother-in-law barged in. “Son, divorce her right now! I’ve told you plenty of times this worthless woman isn’t good enough for you!”

“Now that you’re a billionaire, there are plenty of amazing women waiting for you. Choose anyone you want!”

Eagerly, my husband nodded without a second thought. “Alright, Mom. I already set a time; we’ll go tomorrow!”

Then, pretending to be innocent, he looked at me. “You’re not seriously going to claim that scratch card was yours, are you?”

“I already checked, it doesn’t have a name. Whoever has it owns it.”

“Margaret Callahan, my mom’s right. You’re a useless woman. You’re no match for me anymore.”

My chest went cold in an instant.
