Chapter 9
George called Arya and Mary separately for individual questioning.
Zane looked confident and said to me provocatively, “Claire, I’ve got you all figured out. Once I get my identity back, I’m divorcing you immediately.”
I remained silent, waiting for Arya and Mary’s questioning to end.
A few minutes later, Arya came out first. Seeing Zane, she clung to him affectionately and called out “honey.”
Zane immediately frowned, pulled his hand back, and said coldly, “Who are you calling honey? I’m Zane, not your husband.”
Arya pouted, feigning hurt: “What are you saying? I just went through so much trouble convincing George that we’re
married!”
Upon hearing this, Zane froze completely.
Before he could speak, Mary also came over.
She said mysteriously to Zane, “Zane, don’t worry. I’ve covered for you. They’ll never suspect you’re impersonating Aiden.”

I smirked coldly. Zane had thought that having people who knew his real identity would help him testify, but he never expected that both Arya and Mary were covering for him.

Sure enough, George finally came out and said seriously, “Aiden, your disciplinary action will be issued and announced in a couple of days. As for whether you’ll continue to be employed, that depends on the discussion results.”
Although George said this, everyone knew Zane couldn’t keep his position.
Zane shouted at them unwillingly, “Who told you to lie? Why didn’t you tell the truth?”
Arya was startled and questioned him with a hurt expression, “What do you mean? I’m carrying your child, and you’re still thinking about other women?”
Ignoring Arya, I said slowly to Zane, “Even if you impersonate Zane, it’s useless. His military status was canceled long ago, and he’s no longer a lieutenant.”
In fact, after Zane faked his death, his position was quickly filled by someone else.
Zane was completely stunned, then glared at me viciously:
“Did you do this? What right do you have to cancel my military
status!”

I shook my head and sighed, “Aiden, you should go home. Stop fantasizing that you’re Zane.”
As Zane was dragged away, he was still shouting that he was a lieutenant and that others had no right to discipline him.
Alex comforted me, saying they would strengthen security measures to prevent them from succeeding again.
For the next few months, I truly heard nothing about Zane until Arya gave birth.
Mary firmly believed Arya was carrying a son.
Even when Arya had a difficult labor, s
insisted on saving
the child. But after all the struggle, Arya gave birth to a frail daughter.
Although Arya wasn’t in life–threatening danger, she lost her ability to have children due to this birth.
I only learned about these events when Zane barged into my workplace to complain to me.
He said, “Claire, it’s been so long since all this happened. You should forgive me now. Come back with me and live a good life. Give Lily a little brother, otherwise Lily will never be happy growing up with just you.”
Just as I was about to lose my temper, Lily suddenly rushed in

from outside and pushed him hard: “Bad man! You’re not my daddy! I only want Mommy. Get out!”
Mary stood to the side. Originally, because Arya had given birth to a daughter, she wanted to humble herself and coax me back, but now she was so angry she rolled her eyes.
She scolded, “You two ungrateful people! Zane, let’s go! There are plenty of women out there. You can marry someone else.”
In the end, Zane and Mary were still driven away by the duty soldiers, and I began paying attention to Zane’s situation.
It turned out that after Zane lost his job, he could never find work again, and their family assets could barely support their living expenses.
Meanwhile, the relationship between Arya and Mary began to
deteriorate.
Mary despised Arya for giving birth to a daughter, while Arya resented Mary for neglecting her child.
Shortly after her daughter was born, the baby died of suffocation
Mary’s negligence.
Arya went crazy and demanded Mary pay with her life. During their struggle, they both fell. Mary, being elderly, hit her head on the ground and died on the spot.

Arya never expected Mary to actually die and was scared out of her wits.
Zane suffered blow after blow, becoming haggard and
developing resentment toward Arya. He went around saying he was Zane and that Arya wasn’t his wife.
Soon after, Arya drowned to death. It was said her mental state had already become unstable.
After that, Zane became even more deranged. The neighbors all said he had gone mad and avoided him.
No one believed his words, thinking he had become mentally unstable because his family members had died.
Meanwhile, I received a work transfer order and took Lily to New York for development.
After that, I never paid attention to them again. A bright future was unfolding before me step by step.
