The Cunning Wife's Terminal Ploy

Synopsis

Twenty-five empty years of lonely waiting, one carefully crafted lie. Evelyn fabricates a terminal disease to lure her unfaithful husband Edward back from abroad. Everyone assumes she longs for a last heartfelt reconciliation, yet she has kept a finalized divorce paper stored in a sandalwood box for three whole years. Edward deserted young Evelyn and their baby daughter long ago, eloping with his assistant and raising three children overseas. All those years, he only sent meager monthly cash, blind to the fact his wife built a 220-billion corporate giant single-handedly, saving every dollar he sent untouched. Her fake illness is no cry for comfort, only a well-laid trap. When Edward steps through the villa gate with his mistress and their kids, Evelyn unfolds all truths. She forces him to sign the divorce, exposes her decades-long secret investment in his firm, and closes the chapter on a marriage that died twenty-five years prior.
