Story: His Ex Was the Wife
“Look, this money transfer has your signature. And this withdrawal form clearly shows that you requested cash!”
I took the papers, examined them carefully, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Nick, you want to contact the police, correct? Let me help you with that.”
I took out my phone and was about to dial 110 when Nick stopped me, “Helen, I don’t want things to turn ugly. This way we’ll both have regrets. How can we live together in the future?”
I laughed coldly: “I have no regrets because that is not my signature!”
“Nathan, while this signature is nearly identical to my handwriting, I added a hidden mark to my signature years ago specifically to avoid this type of situation. Unless I specifically point it out, others will miss it.
“If you don’t believe me, you can pull up my previous signatures and have the police compare them.”
When I finished speaking, Gianna’s face flushed with panic, but she pretended to be calm as she stepped forward to persuade Nick.
“Let it go. She’s just upset because I keep causing trouble and affecting your relationship. Don’t pursue this matter. I don’t want the car anymore. Besides, Helen has been with you for so many years and sacrificed so much. What’s wrong with spending five hundred thousand to buy her a gift?”
If I hadn’t noticed Nathan’s trembling hands after this speech, I might have thought she was a truly good person.
But Nick was deeply moved.
He looked at Gianna with tender eyes and said, “Gianna, you’re still so kind. Helen, since Gianna is pleading for you, I’ll let it go this time. Consider the car my gift to you. You’ve worked hard all these years.”
“But don’t do these little tricks again, okay?” “I’ll be really angry the next time.”
Gianna knew how to play her cards well, and now that the person who lost the money was not pursuing the case, I had no reason to call the cops.
I didn’t want to argue anymore, so I went upstairs, had Nick process my resignation paperwork, and then left with Cole.
On the way, Cole asked, “Do you want me to end all of our collaborations with them?””
I shook my head and said, “Help me investigate Damian and Nick’s biological relationship. If they are not related, I will consider it my final act of mercy to him. If they are, then wait for my signal.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, do you still stand behind what you said last night?”
I looked at him suspiciously. “What? What have I said?”
“You really don’t remember anything?”
Seeing my completely confused expression, his face turned melancholy, but he didn’t say anything more.
Cole came to me three days later with a report.
Despite having mentally prepared myself, my hands trembled as I opened it.
When I saw the confirmed father-son relationship, my eyes welled up with tears.
Gianna had become pregnant with Damian while I was two months pregnant.
