Edwin’s family acted like a bunch of leeches, happily living off me every day. To keep them happy, I stayed with my parents after work, saying I was taking care of Teresa.
Edwin was still out of a proper job and scared of being found out. He was more than happy when I did not come home.
My mother-in-law was the same. Mandy’s son was a little terror, and he gave my mother-in-law a hard time every day. She was also busy with her pregnant daughter and would rather not have me bring Teresa back to cause more chaos.
Mandy was thrilled about me staying away. She messed with my clothes, bags, and jewelry as she liked.
Me? I was just happy watching my parents and daughter. I had quietly drafted a divorce agreement and was ready to sell that apartment through an agent.
Yes, Edwin would get nothing, and that apartment was my prenuptial property from my parents.
If he had not chased me for three years in college, acting like Mr. Nice Guy, I would not have fallen for it and let his family bleed me dry.
I was an only child. After I died in my previous life, Edwin’s family drove my parents to their graves and took all the inheritance, making themselves rich.
This time, they were going to pay for what they had done!
My parents had never liked Edwin. They thought he was not a good person, but I was too blind to see it back then. When I wanted a divorce, they did not interfere.
I felt so guilty but grateful too. Even when I messed up, my parents were there to help me fix it.
My mother-in-law did not let me down. She could not keep quiet for long and started causing trouble again.
Mandy’s son, Jared Lewis, ended up in the hospital because of poisoning.
Why did they call me? To foot the bill, of course. They always expected me to pay up.
When I got to the hospital, Mandy was yelling at her mom like there was no tomorrow.
“You’re always trying to save a penny here and there, but has it made you rich? Your penny-pinching almost hurt someone! How could you do this? Why didn’t you just hurt yourself instead of my son?
“If my son is harmed, you shouldn’t even bother living!”
