Chapter 32

Sarah’s P.O.V

I was lucky to have survived that accident. Unfortunately, the truck that had hit me drove away. I hoped the police could find it and uncover any suspicious activities.

I clearly remembered the truck driver’s face. It was obvious he had deliberately wanted to hit my car. Luckily, Joshua managed to swerve quickly. By the grace of God, I survived the accident.

When I woke up, Derrick was the only one I saw. I was pretty sure he also wanted to destroy me. Right now, I was weak and easy for him to control. I had better pretend to have amnesia.

I couldn’t trust anyone except Bradley. I didn’t know who else I could trust. Carrie was currently busy. Luckily, I was able to contact her secretly using the phone a nurse had given me.

I was thankful the nurse who had found my phone didn’t give it to Derrick. So I could plan to trap those who wanted to destroy me, especially my cunning ex–husband.

“Hey, you can go home today. Gillian will be so happy to see you.” Derrick spoke with a fake smile plastered on his face.

“Alright.”

“Poor thing, you probably don’t remember our daughter Gillian. Just be patient; hopefully, your memory will return soon.”

“Okay.”

‘Ugh! I’m so fed up dealing with him all the time. I hope he doesn’t suspect my act.‘

Luckily, Bradley had replaced my phone with a smaller one. He came when Derrick was out, leaving me alone in the ward.

My phone was also connected to the surveillance camera I had installed during the house renovations.

“Come on, honey, pack your stuff. We’re going home this morning. I have to go to the office later.”

“Okay.” I packed my things myself so Derrick wouldn’t see my phone. He seemed busy trying to call Kendall. I wondered why she was ignoring him.

During the ride, I didn’t talk much as I was afraid my act as an amnesiac Sarah would be uncovered.

“Mommy!” Gillian ran to hug me as soon as I got home. She sobbed in happiness to have me back. Dear God. I missed my little girl so much. What would have happened to her if I hadn’t survived the accident? I fought back tears with all my strength.

“This is Gillian, our daughter and this is my mother, Ruth. This is Sofia, our housemaid.” Derrick tried to remind me of everyone. But Ruth’s face was clearly unfriendly to me.

I had to stay calm, pretending not to know anything. Luckily, the surveillance camera in this house was still functioning well. And no one knew about it.

“Sarah, don’t get too comfortable in my son’s house. Once you’re better, you need to help around the house!” Ruth’s words dumbfounded me. But I had to stay calm, keeping up the pretense.

“Yes, Ma’am.”

‘What was that? Her son’s house? This greedy family is a joke.‘

“Sarah, where did you put the house certificate and important documents?”

Derrick was really a heartless man. I had just gotten back from the hospital, and he was already asking for the house certificate.

“Huh? What house certificate? I don’t know. I don’t even remember this house, let alone the certificate,” I answered innocently.

“You can’t remember where you put it?” Ruth asked, starting to get angry.

“You said this is your son’s house; why would I have the certificate?” I tried to answer nonchalantly, even though my anger was rising.

“You’re his wife. Just find it,” Ruth snapped.

“Yes, but I don’t know the ins and outs of this house,” I replied, pretending to be confused.

Derrick and his mom kept searching my room and other rooms.

‘Keep looking until you collapse from exhaustion. Those documents are not something I’d leave lying around.‘ I felt like laughing at their foolishness.

Feeling weak, I fell asleep in the room with Gillian. Fortunately, Gillian was still on school break. Meanwhile, those two greedy people hadn’t stopped ransacking all the rooms and closets. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I felt a bit calmer knowing the house surveillance camera was also connected to Bradley. He was certainly very reliable.

In the afternoon, I heard a commotion outside. I slowly got up and left the room. It looked like Derrick was arguing with someone.

I almost screamed if I hadn’t remembered that I was pretending to have amnesia.

The man I had seen at Peterson Group’s office was now in front of my house. The middle–aged man was arguing with Derrick.

“Ms. Johnson…” the man muttered. I guess he recognized me. He seemed very scared seeing me from a distance. His body trembled, then he quickly got into his car and left.

“Sarah!” shouted Kendall.

That cheap homewrecker was hysterical after seeing me. How very suspicious. What was her relationship with that man?

tried to stay as calm as possible, though my curiosity was raging.

“Derrick, what’s going on? Who are they?”

Kendall’s eyes widened, surprised by my question. She probably didn’t know I had amnesia, as Derrick hadn’t been with her in the past few days.

It seems they weren’t plotting together to destroy me. Maybe they each had their own agenda.

Derrick seemed reluctant to introduce Kendall to me. He still looked very angry.

“Mom, why is she still alive?” I heard Lorraine whisper to her mom as she just entered the house’s yard.

I had to lure them inside my house.

“Who is this, ma’am?”

“This is your sister–in–law, Lorraine. You have to be polite and respect her. Understand?” Ruth snapped.

“Oh, this is Lorraine. Come on in, please!”

“Of course, I’ll come in. This is my mom’s house.” Lorraine said, strutting inside after Ruth. Her attitude disgusted me.

I went into my room and locked it. Now I could freely watch their activities through my phone.

I saw Kendall and Derrick still arguing in the living room. They seemed to be discussing Kendall’s

pregnancy. It turned out that the baby was not Derrick’s. Apparently, the man earlier had admitted he was the one who had gotten Kendall pregnant.

But stupidly enough, Derrick still insisted it was his baby. I really wondered what he saw in that cheap homewrecker.

Meanwhile, Ruth and Lorraine were having a serious conversation in Ruth’s room she was staying in.

I was shocked to hear that Lorraine and her kids would be staying here too.

I hoped I could expose their wicked deeds soon and kick them out of here. I would let them have their fun for now. They would be begging for me to spare them soon enough.

I quickly contacted Bradley to investigate the man who was with Kendall earlier.

I was sure that man was guilty of something. That was why he looked so scared when he saw me.
