120 thousand dollars might be enough for Darien alone, but to support their entire family, including the mistress and her child, it wouldn't last long.
It was the same in my previous life. Once the compensation money ran out, they turned to me, expecting my family to support them.
I stood by coldly, watching as these people comfort Darien.
As Marely got more emotional, the more displeased she became with me, showing her disdain directly.
"Look at your wife. You got into a car accident and she still prioritizes work. A woman like you married into our family was truly our bad luck!"
"Exactly!" Bailey chimed in. "Your husband got into an accident, and you still have the nerve to just stand there! A woman like you really doesn't know how to be a proper wife!"
They kept scolding me for a long time, eventually telling me to get out.
I was more than happy to oblige, lowering my head with a faint smile.
They didn't know that I already had a plan to leave this family.
I always had a good memory, and I remembered everything from my past life! Shortly after Darien was hospitalized, his mistress quietly came to see him. Initially, she was planning to break up with him, but when she learned about the large amount of compensation, she suddenly showed her "deep love" for him.
Despite Darien's disability, these people were still clinging to him, all for that compensation money.
I gave them plenty of time to reunite, deliberately leaving the hospital. Earlier, when I went downstairs, I bought a hidden camera and placed it in a discreet corner of the hospital room, so everything was set up perfectly.
Only by obtaining evidence of Darien's infidelity during our marriage could the court force a divorce and leave him with nothing. In this life, they could never harm me!
During the days Darien was in the hospital, I didn't visit him again and just focused on my work instead.
When my best friend saw I was back, she asked about Darien's condition after the accident.
I gave her a brief explanation of the current situation.
"Karissa Norton, didn't you say before that if your husband's injuries were serious, you would quit your job? What are you planning to do now?" Her question pulled me back to my thoughts.
In my previous life, I was just an idiot, dedicating myself wholeheartedly to their family.
