frasica’s lies nearly drove me to the brink.
I was completely unaware of what was unfolding until Richard stormed in.
Furious. That was when I realized I was being blamed for something unimaginable.
I tried to explain, but Richard didn’t give me a chance–he sent me straight to a
harsh foreign environment.
This time, it’s different. I have an alibi.
However, I was shocked when Richard hung up the phone immediately after
jessica spoke, slapped me hard, and yelled: “You despicable woman! No wonder
you were hiding Jessica’s whereabouts–you caused her miscarriage!”
The slap left me stunned and reeling.
I stared at him, incredulous.
I knew Richard wasn’t the sharpest; otherwise, Jessica wouldn’t have been able to
deceive him so easily.
But who would have thought he could be so foolish?
Given that I had been with him all the time, shouldn’t he have at least verified
with Jessica when it happened before accusing me?
Instead, he immediately blamed me without a second thought.
With Richard leading the charge, the crowd quickly joined in with their insults.
“I thought she was just greedy and immoral, but she’s even worse!”

“Scamming is bad enough, but causing a miscarriage? What did her cousin do to
deserve sach a monster?”
“No wonder she kept silent earlier–she must be guilty of something even more
heinous!”
“Not only did she swindle people, but she also caused a miscarriage. What did her
cousin do to deserve such a vile person?”
“It’s no surprise she didn’t say anything before. Turns out she’s guilty of something even more despicable!”
Even James looked at me with sheer disappointment and disgust.
I tried to maintain my composure and asked Richard: “Can’t you at least ask Jessica when it happened before making these accusations?”
Richard, as if it were obvious, replied: “Why would I need to ask? Didn’t you hear Jessica say it was your fault?”
“Jessica is so honest–why would she lie? It must have happened just before I found you, which is why you’ve been too scared to tell me where she was.”
“Mary, you’ve gone to great lengths to cover up your crime!”
Richard grew increasingly enraged, nearly grinding his teeth.
I felt completely drained: “You really trust her that much?”
Richard didn’t hesitate: “Of course I believe her–she’s my wife. Why would I trust
a scheming liar like you?”
“I’ve been asking you about Jessica’s whereabouts, and you kept dodging. Now that the truth’s coming out, you think you can just lie your way out?”
Seeing Richard’s unwavering belief in Jessica, I sighed and said deliberately:

“What if I told you Jessica miscarried because she was cheating on you with another man—your brother? Would you believe me then?”
Richard’s eyes narrowed in disdain: “Mary, you’ve lost your mind.”
“Are you so desperate to cover your tracks that you’d invent a story like that?”
“You think everyone’s as twisted as you, obsessed with infidelity?”
He dismissed my words without a second thought.
“See? You don’t believe anything I say. How could I have told you the truth
before?”
“But it’s fine. I can prove it.”
I spoke calmly, my sincerity evident.
Maybe it was my tone or Richard’s sense that something was off, but this time, he
didn’t shut me down.
Instead, he gave me a long, skeptical look and asked: “How can you prove it?”
Thank goodness, Richard was still willing to listen.
From what I knew, Jessica had just miscarried and was currently at the hospital
with Richard’s brother.
I said: “She’s at Harmony Health Clinic. If you come with me, we can clear this up
once and for all.”
My voice was steady, my gaze unwavering no trace of doubt.
Richard scoffed: “Fine. To settle this, I’ll go with you. Let’s see how you explain
yourself.”

With that, Richard dragged me to the car, and we headed straight for Harmony Health Clinic.
James, looking conflicted and concerned, decided to follow.
A few streamers from the crowd also jumped into their cars, eager to continue broadcasting the drama.
