Just to Get My Best Friend Novel – My fiancé and my closest friend, Nathan Gardner, came up with a plan to win over my bestie’s favor. My bestie, Esther Sullivan, drove the car and killed my mother. Not only did my fiancé not hold her accountable, but he even flaunted their marriage certificate. I took Esther to court, caused a scene at the wedding, and demanded she be punished, only to become the subject of mockery.
When I was at my lowest, my closest friend, Nathan Gardner, publicly proposed to me, offering to be my support forever. I agreed to his proposal. I let him handle the car accident case completely. He told me that Esther was jailed, and I trusted him. However, three years after our marriage, I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his lawyer. “Mr. Gardner, did you marry Joanna just to get a letter of understanding? It’s just a car accident.
Why get so involved?” He replied, “Only through marriage could I write the letter of understanding on behalf of Joanna as a family member and secure Esther’s freedom. “It’s enough for her to be happy overseas. As for me… Anything is fine.” I realized then that the marriage I thought was my rescue was merely an elaborate scheme he had set up. Well, if this is how they want to play, then so be it. I’ll see it through to the end.
In the office, Nathan stared at photos of Esther enjoying life overseas on his laptop. A smile crossed his face, but it was filled with sadness and regret. “Three years had passed. As long as she’s happy, even if it’s not because of me, that’s enough. “As for Joanna… I’ve spent my whole life trying to make up for what happened. This matter is over.” The legal team at the company was furious, but there was nothing they could do about him. “Mr. Gardner, the company’s finally making progress.
How can you treat a murder case as a joke? If a competitor finds out, not just you, but your family’s wealth could be at stake! “The fact that Ms. Sullivan killed someone is clear. Why are you getting involved in this? She doesn’t love you at all!” Nathan’s expression turned cold, and his tone became sharp. “That’s enough. I told you not to bring this up again. I don’t believe Esther killed anyone on purpose. It must have been an accident. I’ve already handled Mrs. Watson’s funeral. That should be enough for the Watsons.
“If saving her costs me my life, I’d give it to her, not just a company!” The lawyer grew a little nervous. “What about Ms. Watson? She’s going to find out sooner or later. Once she visits Esther in prison, all your plans will fall apart! “You used her name to free the woman who killed her mother. How do you expect her to react?” Nathan fell silent for a moment, then lit a cigarette. “Then don’t let her find out, not ever. It’s been three years.
She should be getting out soon. “Make the arrangements. And remember, don’t let Joanna know.” “Mr. Gardner, as your lawyer, I need to warn you that the law is relentless and will catch up with you. What you’ve done will definitely leave evidence behind. You have inflicted harm on an innocent person solely to satisfy the desires of a murderer. If Ms. Watson ever finds out, you’re finished!” Tears fell from my face. I was trembling so badly that I could barely hold the lunch box.
The footsteps grew louder, so I quickly hid in the stairwell. It turned out that my mother’s fatal car accident had never been properly investigated. Esther wasn’t imprisoned to pay for her crimes like I was told. Instead, she was living freely abroad. A
