You Faked Your Deaths to Punish Me?! That’s Illegal, Family! novel Chapter 50

Chapter 3

A thousand questions exploded in my mind.

I stood there, helpless, watching Chloe finish loading her things and get ready to leave with Wyatt.

“No, Chloe, wait-you can’t marry him!”

“Don’t you get it? You think he’s rich? He’s lying to you!”

“He’s not a good guy. He’s a gambler, Chloe. If you marry him, your whole life is over!”

I grabbed her arm before she could leave.

I didn’t know what was going on anymore,

But in my past life, she did genuinely take care of my parents.

If I helped her avoid this disaster, maybe we’d be even.

Maybe Wyatt couldn’t scam me, so he convinced the loan sharks to wait a few days and went after my best friend instead.

After all, Chloe had built up some savings from her studio.

At least enough to cover his immediate debts.

“What the hell, Maren? After everything I’ve done for you, this is how you repay me? By trashing my name?”

“What gives you the right to call me a gambler? Because I gave you the wrong bag? Seriously?”

“You know what? Fine. I’ll tell you the truth. I gave you that bag on purpose!”

“I’m the head of the Calloway family fortune. That bag? It was a test. The Calloways don’t marry gold diggers.”

“You failed. But Maren, I really did like you. So I threw out my own rules. I kept coming back, practically begging you to forgive me.”

“But then I met Chloe. And I realized-I was wrong about you. She’s the one. She’s who I’m meant to be with.”

“So stop making excuses. You’ve got zero chance anymore!”

Wyatt grabbed my arm and shoved me aside.

I just laughed.

? You’ve got some nerve. Your debts are about to explode in your face any day now, aren’t they?”

Su think just because the real Calloway heir stays out of the spotlight, you can steal his identity and con people?”

“Well, guess what? He agreed to an interview with our station. Tomorrow. And I’m the one meeting him.”

“So when I do, I’m gonna expose you for the lying fraud you are!”

I smirked coldly.

“Just wait and see. I’m gonna rip off that fake mask of yours right in front of the media!”

With that, I turned and walked away without looking back.

Finally, the day arrived.

I got to the studio early that morning.

But when my interview subject arrived…. I shocked.

It was Wyatt!

“Maren. Been a while.”

“Let me reintroduce myself. I’m the head of the Calloway family. Wyatt Calloway.”

I stood there, frozen.

How could he actually be the billionaire?

But our station would’ve done a thorough background check before booking him.

There was no way he could be faking this.

But then… what the hell was going on?

My mind was spinning. I barely made it through the interview.

“Miss Hartley, you’re looking a little rough.”

“What’s the matter? Can’t sleep without me these days?”

Noticing my condition, Wyatt smirked as the interview wrapped up.

“Who the hell are you?”

I eyed him cautiously.

The memories of my past life-constantly on the run, living in fear-were still fresh in my mind.

I remembered one time we had to flee with nothing. Not a single dollar. We were literally digging through trash cans for food.

billionaire, why the hell would we have lived like that?

t… then what the hell was going on now?

else would I be? I just told you. I’m Wyatt Calloway. Full name’s Wyatt, but Calloway’s my middle name too. So yeah-Wyatt Calloway.”

Seeing my guarded expression, Wyatt just smiled, still calm and collected.”

I stared into his eyes, speechless.

I dated him for three years. Same face. Same person. So why did everything suddenly feel so… foreign?

“Babe, are you done yet? I’ve been waiting out there forever.”

Chapter 3

Before I could say anything else, Chloe burst into the room.

She clung to his arm, leaning into him and pouting like a lovesick teenager.

I reached out to stop her, but hesitated and let my hand drop.

Everything was unfolding exactly like that voice in my head had said.

I didn’t even understand what was happening anymore.

What right did I have to stop them?

All I could do was put on my professional smile and say goodbye to my interview subject.

But then-my eyes locked onto something near Chloe’s hand.

A lightbulb went off.

I think I finally figured it out.
