After a year into the marriage, the wife's son came to Korea to live with his mother and his new stepfather. The CEO welcomed his wife's son into his house.
The son visited his stepfather's company to ask if he can work at the company and learned that the CEO has a heart condition. His heart condition began to worsen and had to be hospitalized for a few days. After getting treatment, the husband came back home and everything seemed fine.
Soon after, the wife learned that she was pregnant and the couple began preparing to welcome their new child. However, five months after getting hospitalized, the CEO passed away because his heart condition worsened rapidly.
The wife and her son went to claim the life insurance of the CEO and they found out that CEO changed the beneficiary from his new wife to his brother. They visited the husband's brother to find out what happened and learned that the CEO knew their true identity.
What really happened was that the alleged son of the CEO's wife was actually the wife's ex-husband. After the CEO confessed his love, she contacted her husband living in the U.S.
The wife introduced her 40-year-old ex-husband as her son from her previous marriage to her new husband and lived together in the CEO's house. It was possible because her ex-husband looked very young for his age and could pass for a man in his twenties.
After moving into the house, the ex-couple started to spend time together whenever the CEO was not home. The woman got pregnant with her ex-husband's child. What they did not know was that after the CEO's wife passed away during childbirth, he got a vasectomy done. The CEO got suspicious of his new wife after learning the pregnancy news. He hired a detective to find out who his wife really is and learned that his wife and her alleged son used to be married to each other.
Even though he was shocked and angered by their scheme, he kept quiet because he knew he was going to die soon due to his heart condition and he did not wish to break his young daughter's heart who loved her stepmother very much.
After learning of the CEO's heart condition, the ex-husband started to swap his pills to treat the heart condition and feed him foods and medicine that are bad for heart health, The ex-husband began planning to get the life insurance and to take over the CEO's company. The CEO's condition worsened rapidly and five months later, he passed away.
The CEO changed the beneficiary of his life insurance and the custody of his young daughter to his brother. He also legally set up to have his brother take over his company effective immediately after his death.
The wife and her ex-husband were caught red-handed. The CEO's brother requested an official autopsy and a large amount of mercury was detected from the body. However, the prosecutors could not charge the scammers because they disposed all the evidence before going into hiding, forcing the investigation to shut down.
The Korean TV Show, 'Astonishing Stories: Real Situation', has been garnering a lot of attention with the shocking tales of scammers and victims in Korea.
