Mother-in-law Dies in Car Crash, but Husband Lawyer Defends His First Love — the Driver

When her mother-in-law, Mary, is critically injured in a hit-and-run, Chloe urgently begs her defense attorney husband, Julian, for 100 thousand dollars in emergency surgery fees. Swayed by his DWI first love, Serena, Julian assumes Chloe's family is running a scam, cruelly refuses, and blocks her-leaving his own mother to die. Three days later, Julian uses his courtroom prowess to frame the crash as extortion and successfully acquits Serena. Outside the courthouse, Chloe files for divorce and slams Mary's death certificate in his face, while the family reveals the victim was his biological mother and plays Mary's video disowning him and leaving her entire estate to Chloe. Shattered by Serena's ruthless manipulation and haunted by Chloe's devotion, an unhinged Julian stabs Serena to death and hangs himself in prison after penning a tearful suicide note of repentance; Chloe makes peace with the past, claims the inheritance, and steps into a brilliant new life.
