I Approved My Husband’s Wedding Leave to Marry His Assistant Chapter 10

[Local Man and His Father Lose Everything and Land in Prison After Marriage Scam to Pay Off Gambling Debts.]

In the news photo, Michael was in handcuffs, being led away by the police. He looked almost unrecognizable.

Standing beside him was George, looking just as defeated.

I opened the article.

After Michael was fired, the whole lie finally collapsed.

He was drowning in debt and had developed a gambling addiction.

He burned through the money George gave him and then borrowed from loan sharks.

To pay it back, George came up with a plan.

Michael would turn his relationship with a wealthy divorced woman into a full-blown marriage scam.

That woman was Claire Dawson.

Claire’s father owned a successful building supply business, and her family was wealthy.

Michael and George invented a wealthy-heir persona for Michael, then had him pursue Claire relentlessly.

They used money from my joint account to keep up the image at first, and once Claire trusted Michael, they started bleeding money out of her too.

The wedding, the gifts, and the entire luxury act had all been part of the con.

They had planned to marry into the Dawson family first, then slowly go after the family fortune.

I ruined that plan.

After the wedding disaster, Claire’s father became suspicious. Once he looked into it, he understood everything.

He went straight to the police.

Michael and George were both sentenced to ten years in prison for fraud.

Linda suffered a stroke from the shock and was left paralyzed.

As for Claire, the article said she had suffered a complete mental breakdown and had been sent to a psychiatric care facility.

The baby had been a lie from beginning to end.

She had never been pregnant.

The ultrasound report had been bought online.

Everyone got exactly what they deserved.

It was karma, plain and simple.

I closed my phone, picked up my cup of herbal tea, and walked into the yard.

The sunlight was warm, and the breeze was perfect.

A butterfly landed on one of my newly blooming flowers.

I smiled.

From now on, I was going to live for myself.
