In this tale of resilience and retribution, Emily learns that the path to self-discovery is paved with both triumphs and trials.

Housewife,My Answer Shocked ThemChapter 1

My mother-in-law always said that women should put family first and not be too ambitious.

On the very day I poured my heart into winning an International Award, she barged into my corporation with a strange man and slapped me in front of everyone.

“You shameless woman! To win that award, you sold your body and cheated on my son!”

My colleagues and leaders all believed in my abilities.

But my mother-in-law pulled out a stack of intimate photos of me with that man.

I tried desperately to explain, yet no one believed she would frame her own daughter-in-law with such filthy rumors.

I was fired on the spot, and my six-figure commission was taken back.

When I got home, my husband Daniel Carter was also dismissed, and my son Ethan Carter was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Only then did my mother-in-law show a hint of regret.

“I just didn’t want your boss to keep making you work overtime, so I found someone to stage a little scene. Who knew your company cared so much about face?”

My father-in-law and Daniel only fanned the flames.

“If you were truly upright, who could frame you?”
