The Widow's Lie

【Resourceful and Charming Widow X Patient and Rugged Detective】In the eyes of the public, Jiang Shuiying married well. In just three years of marriage, she transformed from a rookie actress into the largest shareholder of Yan Corporation.

In Luo Yuwen's eyes, he was originally investigating his brother's disappearance when he was forced to get involved in this wealthy family's inheritance battle. His investigation revealed that Jiang Shuiying was meticulous in her actions; everything pointed to her, yet no evidence could be found.

In Jiang Shuiying's eyes, she merely took what she deserved and did what she had to do.

"You ask me why my husband committed suicide? How would I know?"

"You ask why all my husband's shares and assets were transferred to my name? Well, that's naturally because... he loved me, of course."

"Getting promoted, getting rich, and losing a husband – what's wrong with that?"

The truth slowly unraveled, and Luo Yuwen discovered that Jiang Shuiying, who always seemed to have the upper hand, had an unknown past. And his long-lost brother also appeared in these memories.

That past left Luo Yuwen dejected, but Jiang Shuiying's appearance and their unexpected encounter resolved the emotional knot that had troubled him for years.

Everything settled, and the moment the villain was exposed, Jiang Shuiying leaned on Luo Yuwen's shoulder and whispered softly, "Do you still think I lied to you?"
