My Perfect Marriage Was His Perfect Crime novel Chapter 86

“Are you threatening me?”

Thomas gritted his teeth, his voice practically seething with rage.

“Think carefully. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

I was about to hang up when suddenly the door was slammed open with a “bang.”

Mike stormed in, furious, from the door.

“Susan, what did you do to the umbilical cord blood you gave to Barbara? Why did Barbara’s condition worsen after using it instead of improving?”

Mike grabbed my collar tightly, his eyes burning with rage as if he wanted to incinerate me.

I coldly stared at Mike.

“You’re the ones who cut open my belly, the ones who took the child. Now you’re questioning me? Don’t you think you’re being ridiculous?”

“What’s wrong with Barbara? Didn’t she receive the umbilical cord blood? Why did it do nothing for her?”

Before the call ended, I heard Thomas’s anxious voice on the other end of the line.

Mike glanced at the phone, hatred written all over his face.

“It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t let that bitch’s child die in her womb, Barbara’s umbilical cord blood wouldn’t have been useless. Now Barbara’s condition has worsened because she developed an allergic reaction to the cord blood.”

There was silence on the other end of the call, and Mike turned back to look at me.

“Tell me, did you and Thomas conspire to make sure Barbara wouldn’t be saved? You’re holding a grudge against Barbara for humiliating you at the wedding, so you wanted to get back at her, didn’t you?”

Mike’s face twisted as he looked at me, his hands trembling as he gripped mine.

Just as I started to feel scared, the security guards rushed in and quickly pulled Mike away.

I looked at Mike, who was nearly mad with rage, and sneered.

“This is her fate. I’ve said it before—you couldn’t save her. She was always going to die. This is her fate, and it’s your retribution.”

“I’ll kill you. It’s all your fault. You and your kind made Barbara suffer like this.”

Just as Mike struggled to lunge at me, his phone rang.

It was a call from the hospital.

Mike quickly answered.

“Mr. Johnson, Miss Harris has developed a severe rejection reaction. Despite efforts to save her, she passed away just now. Please accept our condolences.”

At that moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open again, and Thomas stumbled in.

The two men got into a vicious fight, neither of them holding back. The security guards didn’t dare intervene.

I took this chance to start a live stream and threw in a hefty sum of money to push my stream to the top of the trending list.

The paid followers who flooded into the stream couldn’t believe their eyes.

“I can’t believe this is the whole truth. Thomas clearly deceived her into marriage!”

“Such a lowlife. He harmed another woman just to save his true love. Looks like this true love isn’t a saint either. No wonder fate took her. She totally deserves it.”

“They’re fighting because of this true love. It’s clear they’re not grieving; they’re just desperate because the truth is out. Poor Susan—she ended up with these two scumbags.”

I looked at the two men fighting and cautiously reminded Mike.

“Mike, don’t forget—it was Thomas who performed my surgery, and your child died because of him. We’re on the same side here.”

It seemed like Mike finally understood. His eyes went bloodshot with rage, and he reached for the glass shards from the broken vase.

“Thomas, you used your hands to kill my child, and you killed Barbara too. I’m going to avenge her today.”

In the next moment, there was a loud “ah!” as Thomas’s hand was pierced by the glass.

Thomas, blood pouring from his mangled hand, looked up in terror.
