“Yeah, you just figured that out? If you didn’t have money, would I have agreed to be with you?”
After saying that, she turned and walked toward a car waiting by the roadside.” Honey, let’s go.”
Hearing the word “honey,” Rick seemed struck by lightning and sat down on the ground. “She’s already married, Mom, she agreed to be with me for my money…”
The people around them looked on and said, “That woman’s made the right choice. Who would want to be with a man deep in debt?”
“The child in her womb definitely isn’t his. This is clearly a scam! She’s just trying to make some quick money.”

“Sigh, these two are really something. One’s in massive debt, the other has ill intentions. It really proves the old saying. ‘Birds of a feather flock together.“” An elderly person nearby sighed and shook his head.
Judith’s face grew darker as she saw someone recording the video and rushed forward to stop them.
“Who gave you permission to film us? Everyone hand over your phones and delete the videos! Filming like this is illegal, I’ll take you all to court!”
Seeing this, Judith became even angrier and snatched the phone, throwing it hard onto the ground.
“You old hag, who told you to break my phone?”
They started shoving, and Rick got into a fight with them.
The video ended, and I sighed. “Looks like it’s try that everything came with its consequences.”
“Indeed, you reap what you sow,” Jason echoed.
Helen’s name gradually faded from my sight, and I heard no more news about her.
After that, my life seemed to return to normal, but I still occasionally had nightmares.
I once thought that after scamming Rick, Helen would live a carefree life, but little did I know, fate played a cruel joke on her.
“That’s terrifying, a woman died in the river.”
There was a heated discussion about this topic in the social group.
“Yeah, she died horribly. Her whole body was bloated and pale. It’s so cold, it’s just tragic.”
“The fisherman who found the body was scared out of his wits. He’s still shaken.”
Curious, I asked them what had happened.
Seeing I was interested, they forwarded the news report to me.
“Look, it’s rare for something like this to happen.”
I focused and looked at the report. The body was identified as a woman with the surname “Milton“, and it was found that she had purchased a flight ticket abroad,

likely intending to escape.
“Exactly, I heard she was six months pregnant.”
“Did she jump into the river?”
“No, she was beaten to death and dumped there.”
“Who would do such a thing?” I couldn’t help but feel a chill.
“A man who lost money gambling, asked his wife for money. When she didn’t give the money to him, he began beating her, not caring about the child in her womb.”
“Such a man really ruined this girl’s life,”
A shock ran through my heart. The woman with the surname “Milton” in the report… wasn’t that Helen?
It turned out she was already married, and she had been with Rick just for his money.
In the end, she was murdered by her gambling–addicted husband, and even the child in her womb didn’t survive.
I should have figured it out when I ran into her in the supermarket.
Everything Helen had done might have been masterminded by that gambler.
Her death was truly tragic, and my heart began to feel uneasy again.
