### Shocking Betrayal: Daughter-in-Law's Secret Revealed at Son's Funeral

Before the sorrow of losing her son could fade, a 60-year-old mother-in-law learned about her daughter-in-law's shocking infidelity.

On the 20th, JTBC's 'Case Manager' aired the heartbreaking story of a whistleblower, referred to as A.

"I treated my daughter-in-law like my own daughter, and overnight she became an enemy," A stated, revealing that her only son passed away recently after a two-year battle with illness.

While the longing for her late son was immense, her heart ached even more for her daughter-in-law in her 40s and her 6-year-old granddaughter, who were now left alone.

### The Shocking Scene Witnessed at the Funeral

A, who had always taken special care of her daughter-in-law, vowed to support her even more after her son’s passing. However, contrary to her intentions, she witnessed an unexpected and shocking scene at the funeral.

After hearing her daughter-in-law's voice from an unused funeral room next to her son’s, A entered and found her daughter-in-law embracing a strange man.

The startled daughter-in-law introduced the man as her "cousin" and explained, "He just returned briefly from abroad to console me."

Following this incident, A frequently visited her daughter-in-law’s home to help care for her granddaughter, during which she noticed something unusual.

Despite her son passing away not long ago, the daughter-in-law had erased all traces of him from their home.

### The Truth Revealed Through a Granddaughter’s Innocent Confession

The decisive evidence came unexpectedly while A was picking up her granddaughter from school.

A spotted her daughter-in-law at a café with a man, and her granddaughter innocently exclaimed, "Mom! You’re with your secret friend again today!"

Even more shocking was the fact that the granddaughter had been warned not to tell anyone about her mother's "secret friend."

A remarked, "The man at the café was someone I saw at my son's funeral. That was when all the pieces of this strange puzzle finally fell into place."

After supporting her daughter-in-law with 50 million won to raise her granddaughter alone, A confronted her about the situation, only to hear her daughter-in-law retort, "Now that I no longer have a husband, what's the problem?"

In response to this situation, Professor Park Sang-hee expressed concerns over the potential negative emotional impact on the granddaughter.

"The child may be shocked later when she grows up and realizes that her mom's 'secret friend' had an inappropriate relationship, and that her father had left during that time," the expert warned.
