A Car Crash Exposed His BetrayalChapter 1

My mother-in-law had just finished a late-night community line dance when a drunk female driver dragged her body for nearly a mile.

By the time I received the call, Margaret Miller was already lying in the morgue, unrecognizable.

After watching the CCTV footage provided by the police, I clenched my teeth in rage, swearing to seek justice for Margaret.

But the very next day, my husband met me in a restaurant and slammed a document down in front of me.

“Rachel Miller, the dead can’t come back to life. Your mom is gone, but Sophia White is only twenty-one—she still has her whole future ahead of her. You can’t be so cruel as to make her youth pay for the life of a dead woman!”

“Sign the settlement. You’ll get $50,000 as compensation for your mom. That’s the end of it.”

“Otherwise, you won’t get a single penny!”

I didn’t sign.

Later, David Miller made good on his threat—I didn’t receive a cent.

But I saw him kneeling on the courthouse steps, smashing his head against the ground until it bled, begging for the case to be retried.

“You… what did you just say?”

“Fifty thousand? A settlement?”

I stared at David, stunned.
