Chapter 4

"Sign this voluntary waiver of property statement, and I'll continue buying your medication."

Ethan Carter slammed a thick document onto the dining table, looking down at Summer Lynn from above.

Summer Lynn had just returned from getting an IV at the hospital, her face still pale.

She glanced at the document on the table but didn't move.

"Ethan Carter, you won't even spare my property after I die?"

Summer Lynn's voice was soft but carried bone-chilling coldness.

"How can you say that? I'm doing this for your own good."

Ethan Carter pulled out a chair and sat down, lighting a cigarette.

"You know what kind of person your brother is—lazy and good-for-nothing all day."

"If something happens to you, those shares under your name will definitely be snatched away by your family."

He blew out a smoke ring, his eyes full of calculation.

"Might as well transfer them to my name. I'll keep them safe for you. At least since we were married, I can buy you a decent burial plot."

"Keep them safe for me?"

Summer Lynn laughed coldly.

"Keep them safe for me, or use them to buy Mandy bags and cars?"

"Summer Lynn, don't be ungrateful!"

Ethan Carter slammed the table, furious.

"I'm being merciful enough to continue your treatment. You should be grateful!"

Mandy walked out of the bedroom at this moment.

She wore Summer Lynn's silk pajamas and held a glass of warm milk.

"Summer, Ethan is right."

Mandy walked to Ethan Carter's side and leaned intimately against his shoulder.

"Your illness can't be cured anyway. What use is keeping that money?"

"Why not leave it to Ethan? Consider it repayment for his care over these years."

She looked at Summer Lynn, her eyes full of greed and satisfaction.

"Besides, my baby with Ethan is about to be born. We need money everywhere."

"Just consider it accumulating good karma for the baby in my belly."

Summer Lynn looked at this pair of despicable lovers, feeling only disgust.

"Accumulating karma? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution? I, Ethan Carter, only believe in money!"

Ethan Carter impatiently threw the pen in front of Summer Lynn.

"Stop wasting time. Sign it!"

Summer Lynn picked up the document and flipped through it page by page.

Her gaze scanned the densely packed clauses.

Ethan Carter not only wanted all the shares under her name, but also the two properties under her name.

He even wanted to transfer the Porsche she had bought before marriage to himself.

"You've calculated this quite thoroughly."

Summer Lynn closed the document and looked at him coldly.

"What if I don't sign?"

"Don't sign?"

Ethan Carter let out a cold laugh, stood up, and walked in front of her.

"If you don't sign, you're not leaving this house today!"

He grabbed Summer Lynn by the collar, threatening viciously.

"You really think I have no way to deal with you?"

"I'm telling you, even if you don't sign, when you die, these things will still be mine!"

"I just don't want to deal with unnecessary trouble."

Summer Lynn was forced to tilt her head back, looking at his twisted face.

"Ethan Carter, aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"Call the police? Go ahead!"

Ethan Carter laughed fearlessly.

"Will the police handle property disputes between spouses?"

"Besides, with your half-dead appearance, the police will just think you're mentally unstable!"

He forcefully threw Summer Lynn back into the chair.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Sign or not!"

Summer Lynn took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in her heart.

She picked up the pen and spun it twice in her hand.

"Fine. I'll sign."

Ethan Carter and Mandy exchanged glances, both seeing wild joy in each other's eyes.

"Smart choice."

Ethan Carter eagerly flipped the document to the last page.

Summer Lynn uncapped the pen, the tip hovering over the signature line.

She looked up at Ethan Carter's impatient face, a strange smile curving at the corners of her mouth.

"But Ethan Carter, don't you know that once this agreement takes effect..."

"Takes effect what? Stop playing games!"

"Once it takes effect, that hole from your embezzlement can never be filled."
