Chapter 2
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Matthew made an excuse and went to the study for a meeting, leaving only Layla and me in the living room.
Seeing this, Layla immediately became impatient. “Naomi, why did you say those things in front of Matthew carlier? Are you trying to stop your husband from helping me?”
I struggled to control the hatred inside me and chuckled lightly, “How could that be? I’m just afraid you might lose a man who loves you. After all, I know your husband loves you very much. If he beat you like this, it must be because he doesn’t know how to express his love for you.”
Layla was stunned by my words. “You…”
After a long pause, she said, “I’m going to take a shower first.” Then she hurriedly left.
Watching her walk away, I smirked coldly, memories of my previous life flooding back.
Layla was my college classmate. Because of her beauty, she had many suitors. In the end, for money, she chose Carler. However, just a few months after their marriage, Carter went bankrupt due to an accident.
The once loving couple immediately began fighting, and their

Instagram was filled with insults and complaints about each other. Initially, Layla and I weren’t close. After I married Matthew, she became very interested in Matthew’s family background and began contacting me frequently, becoming my “good friend.”
When she was abused by Carter, she came to me crying in the middle of the night. Feeling sorry for her, I didn’t refuse and let her stay at my house for a while.
But after moving in, she deliberately showed off her figure in front of Matthew, repeatedly pretended to be pitiful, and even pretended to enter the wrong room in the middle of the night, walking into Matthew’s study.
Realizing something was wrong, Matthew used business trips as an excuse to stay away until he returned half a month later.
What I didn’t expect was that Layla would discover she was pregnant at that time.
Just as I was about to ask Layla what had happened, Carter came and broke Matthew’s leg, and even took us to court.
In court, Layla tearfully accused Matthew of having bad intentions toward her, raping her while she was staying at our house, and accused me of not only failing to stop Matthew but even helping him hurt her.
Matthew and I strongly denied it, but Layla produced an

amniocentesis report showing that the child in her womb was indeed Matthew’s.
In front of the media cameras, she cried and said, “I always considered Naomi my best friend. But I never thought she would be the devil who pushed me into hell, and Matthew is even more of a bastard.”
Because of this statement, Matthew and I were cursed by netizens. After Layla reported us to the police, we were thrown in prison and even required to pay Layla one million dollars in emotional damages.
In the end, Matthew and I died miserably in prison, while Layla used the million dollars we paid her to get an abortion, then lived happily ever after with Carter.
Thinking about all this, I gritted my teeth in hatred. In this life, I would definitely expose Layla’s true intentions!
