Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 160 She's After Your Money

"But… Why did you lie to me and act as if Sarah was still my wife?" Michael asked in a cold voice and glared at his mother.

He knew that several times he had often argued with his mother, or rarely visited her. However, they are family! He is her son! How did his mother betray him and do this to him?

Mrs. Collins swallowed hard. Sweat started to appear on her face when she saw the change in her son's face that looked like he was holding back his anger.

"That… It's because of that woman! She said it was the best for you!" said Mrs. Collins at last as she gathered her voice.

"What?" asked Michael with furrowed brows. He really didn't expect that his mother would answer like that. Without his mother telling him, he could understand that the woman his mother's mean was Sarah.

However, why did Sarah do that?

"I don't know how much you remember it, but the doctor who operated on you was that woman. I'm pretty sure she did something to make you have amnesia, but you know that woman is cunning. She was even able to get money from you before, so doing this is not hard for her. I'm sure she's…"

"Mom!" Michael cut in when he heard his mother start to talk about something off topic. He remembered that Sarah did the operation on him, that was also the reason why she wanted to keep their relationship at the hospital a secret.

Michael thought it was because Sarah would get scolded by her boss because she had operated on her husband, but there seemed to be another reason why she didn't want to tell anyone about their relationship.

He would find out about that later, but this wasn't the time for that.

"I don't want to hear you nagging about Sarah, just tell me what she means. Sarah said it was best for me?" asked Michael who now wanted to hear what his mother meant.

"Yes! When you have amnesia, that wench says not to tell you anything because it will harm you! However, I'm sure that she must be lying about it!" said Mrs. Collins in a tone that seemed confident.

"She even went so far as to convince your dad to let her pretend to be your wife! If I had known about it, I wouldn't have let this happen, but your dad has been incited by that witch!" Mrs. Collins continued excitedly.

Although what she said was her guess, she was sure that the woman must have contacted her husband separately and said what she had just said.

"Michael, tell me. You guys moved to another place because that wench told you to, right? I'm sure she's out of money so now she's after your money again. Where do you live now? Your new house is in your name, right?" asked Mrs. Collins curiously.

All this time she wanted to visit his son's house, but she never knew where they lived. She was sure, the woman must have told her son to buy a luxury apartment or maybe a house for them.

Michael was still silent when he heard his mother's explanation. The information he got today was too much and it made his head start to hurt.

Sarah forbids her parents to tell the truth, and she asks her father to let her pretend to be his wife?

,m Michael didn't know the former, but Michael felt that the latter was true. If Sarah wants to pretend to still be his wife, then the right person to tell about it is his father.

His father had always liked the woman and there was a possibility that his father agreed for her to pretend to still be his wife.

If Sarah asked his mother, or said that in front of his parents, her mother would definitely refuse it firmly. However, why did Sarah do that?

Is she after the money? After all, now he has become a billionaire.

Michael shook his head when he heard the idea. During his stay with the woman, she never asked him for money. Every now and then she would take him out shopping, but it was always for them. Either it is for food, or something like their soap and shampoo.

Likewise with apartments, Sarah never asked him to change apartments, he himself wanted to move apartments near the woman's workplace. Come to think of it, it's starting to look stupid.

Then… Why did that woman do this to him? What is the reason? He thought he could figure something out from his mother, but he seemed to be back at the start again.

Ah, no, he did know something. The woman forbade her parents to tell the truth, and she also wanted to pretend to still be his wife.

That's why his parents didn't say anything about him having amnesia!

"Michael."

Michael was a little surprised when he felt someone touch his hand. It seemed that he was too absorbed in his thoughts to forget that he was still at his mother's house.

"Did you really remember everything? You remember Anna, right? Because of that woman, Anna finally broke off your relationship. How about you go see her and explain everything?" asked Mrs. Collins gently. The expression on her face was worried.

"She is the right woman for you. She is a beautiful woman, coming from a family in our class, you can't find another woman like her!" Mrs. Collins continued, trying to persuade her son to return to the path she had set before him.

"I've met her." Michael's reply made Mrs. Collins unable to hide the smile on her face.

"She turned me down. I can't do anything about it," Michael replied nonchalantly.

He knew that it was a shame that he couldn't change the woman's decision when he started to love her, but he would follow the advice given by Anna. He has to resolve what happened with his ex-wife before starting a new relationship.

"What?! What do you mean you can't do anything about it?!" Mrs. Collins' tone rose.

"You should try harder, apologize to her, kneel down if necessary and beg her to come back with you!" he continued in annoyance.

Michael's forehead twitches when he hears his mother's words.

"What?! Why should I do that to her?! Forget it, I don't want to argue with you. I will go now!" said Michael then finally stood up and was about to leave.

However, he suddenly turned around when he remembered something.

"Oh right! You better not bother Anna anymore, mom! She told me she would report to the police if you keep contacting her! If that happens, I won't help you  at all!" threatened Michael then immediately left without hearing his mother's answer.

He knew that Anna wouldn't do that, but he'd better said that to threat his mother so she won't do it

After getting into his car, Michael gripped the steering wheel tightly. Right now… where else should he go this time? Should he go see his ex-wife in the hospital?
