Chapter 1
Ember William woke suddenly in the middle of the night, her mind still foggy from sleep. She had gotten up to go to the bathroom, and as she walked past Lucas’s room, she heard his voice, which immediately jolted her awake.
“Dad, if I tell others that Mommy and Uncle Arden are together, can Sister Jennifer Lee become my mommy?”
Lucas’s innocent words cut through the quiet house, causing Ember’s heart to race.
She froze in place, the weight of his words sinking in.
The “Sister Jennifer” he was referring to was the new tutor Joseph had hired for him.
It wasn’t long ago that Lucas had been begging for a tutor, and Joseph, eager to please, had been proactive in finding one.
Jennifer was a graduate from a business college, had studied abroad, and worked as an executive in a well–known company.
Ember had been surprised that someone like her would work as a tutor for their family, but seeing how well Jennifer got along with Lucas, she hadn’t thought much about it.
Jennifer had told Ember, “Ember William, I don’t have any relatives or friends here, and I don’t have high salary expectations. I just need you to provide me with a place to stay.”
At the time, Ember hadn’t suspected anything unusual. She had no idea that Jennifer was actually Joseph’s “true love.”
any
Before they married, Joseph had confided in Ember about his “true love“-a woman who had left him for going abroad because he was poor, and Joseph had harbored a deep resentment towards her. He hated her for it.
When they got married, Joseph had knelt before Ember with red eyes and declared, “Ember, only you truly care for me. I, Joseph, will love only you in this life.
If I break this vow, may I never have peace!” He had told her how his family was poor and how his relatives had never cared for him.
Ember had always stood by him, helping him rise to success. Now, Joseph was the regional manager for Asia, with a salary in the millions.
But now, as Jennifer sat on Joseph’s lap, gently stroking Lucas’s head, Ember’s suspicions grew. It was

clear that something was off.
This idea of Lucas spending so much time with Jennifer came from her. Joseph had been considering divorce, and he was worried about Ember taking his assets.
To ensure she left with nothing, he had devised a plan to frame her for an affair.
After Lucas fell asleep, Ember had witnessed Joseph and Jennifer in Lucas’s study, passionately kissing.
Their clothes were half off, and their actions were so intimate that Ember could hear their heavy breathing through the screen.
Her emotions were numb as she watched the scene unfold. She quickly recorded the video and sent it to her lawyer with the note: “Will this be enough to get him to leave me with nothing?”
What Joseph didn’t know was that Ember had a great deal to lose herself–she came from a wealthy family with properties all over the country, earning money from rent without lifting a finger.
When she first met Joseph, he had resented the rich because of his past experiences with his “true love.”
He had spent years hating wealthy people, so Ember hadn’t dared tell him how rich she really was. To match his lifestyle, she dressed modestly, buying discounted vegetables at the supermarket and wearing clothes that cost only a few dozen dollars.
Joseph had too much pride. After losing his job, he had stayed at home, drinking and complaining about how no one would give him a chance.
Ember had secretly reached out to President Willson, offering to reduce their rent by 30% in exchange for his help in finding Joseph a job.
President Willson had quickly made a call, and Joseph had landed the job.
On his first day at work, he had returned home with a big cake, declaring that from now on, he would support Ember and their son.
But now, for just a few million in his pocket, he was colluding with his mistress to frame her for infidelity.
The next morning, as Joseph came to kiss her goodbye, Ember pretended to look down and avoid it. He paused for a moment, and then laughed, “Wife, I’ll pick you up after work. Make sure you look nice.”
Today was Ember’s birthday, and Joseph had promised her a big surprise. But after witnessing the scene last night, she now realized that his “surprise” was nothing more than a trap.
She smiled sweetly at him. “Okay. You want a show? You don’t even know whose show it will be.“
