But before I could start implementing my plan,David's aunt,Aunt Lily,came to our door,asking for money right away.
The amount was quite large.She stretched out her hand and asked for$3 million.
Her attitude was so self-righteous,and her tone was as if I owed them.
What was even more disgusting was that the reason she asked for money was just to buy a better house.
I remember that the year before last,David had just used the money to buy a house for each of his two aunts in the county seat.
It hadn't been long,and they were already coming to suck our blood again.
Moreover,over the years,my family had subsidized David's relatives a lot,but they were like bottomless pits that could never be satisfied.They really thought our family was a bank.
Thinking of David's affair,I lost my previous good feelings for his relatives.
"Aunt Lily,didn't you just buy that house the year before last?Why are you in such a hurry to change it?"
And Aunt Lily didn't have a son either.Her two daughters were both married far away,and the two old people shouldn't have such high requirements,right?
"I just don't like that house.I've taken a fancy to a seaside villa.You just give me the money.Anyway,your family isn't short of that money."
As she said this,she stretched out three fingers towards me,and the greed in her eyes was undisguised.
Since I hadn't figured out David's affairs clearly yet,I didn't want to make things too ugly all at once.
So,I analyzed from various aspects why they didn't need to change the house for the time being.
Aunt Lily got angry all of a sudden.She jumped up from the sofa,put her hands on her hips,and started scolding me like a shrew.
She said a lot of mean things,saying how we looked down on them.
She also said how stingy my family was and that we were reluctant to take out even a little money.
...
In the end,I don't know how,but she actually started crying.
"You just look down on me.David introduced the two sons of his eldest sister into the company,and they're living a good life there,earning several million dollars a year.
I'm asking for such a small amount of money,and you won't give it to me.You're really bullying people too much."
Her words suddenly reminded me.
Over the years,David had helped a lot of his relatives get positions in the company.
Since David could obtain a lot of benefits for his relatives,did that also mean that he could seek benefits for himself?
Over the years, my father's health hadn't been very good, and he rarely cared about the company's affairs.
Although David was the general manager of the company on the surface,in fact,he had the final say on a lot of things.
It wasn't impossible for him to manipulate the company.
I also thought about his affair with Amanda.
Since he dared to cheat on me,did that also mean that he had some capital now?
Could it be that he had already been playing tricks in the company?
I pretended that I needed to discuss it with David and sent Aunt Lily away.
Then,I immediately asked the private detective to investigate David's affairs in the company.
It was okay not to investigate,but once I did,I was shocked.
Over the years,David had indeed managed the company very well and made a lot of profits every year.
But he secretly transferred a part of the money to his personal account and even made false accounts for this.
That wasn't all.He was also secretly establishing a new company.
Seeing this,everything became clear.
David not only had an affair with Amanda but also plotted against my family's wealth behind my back.
If it hadn't been for Amanda and his aunt accidentally revealing some information,I would still have been kept in the dark.
My husband,who had been sleeping beside me,actually wanted to make my family fall apart and leave me in ruins.
It's terrifying just to think about it.
I thought of that sunny,handsome,clear,and pure boy in my memory,who was as clean as a piece of white paper.
I still remembered that at the beginning of college,David was like a"central air conditioner,"being warm to all the girls.
During a team-building activity,one of my roommates accidentally let it slip that I was the daughter of an entrepreneur.
It seemed that from then on,David started to pursue me openly.
Now that I think about it,I'm afraid he had ulterior motives when he first approached me.
Since that's the case,don't blame me for being ruthless.
