Chapter 2
In my previous life, I rushed up and called 911, but Linda made an excuse and left first because she was afraid of getting into trouble.
I accompanied Susan in the hospital and waited for her son Phil.
Susan just fell down and was not seriously injured. She didn't let me go, grabbed my hand and insisted on thanking me profusely.
So, I went to her house for a meal and met Phil. Then we got married not long after.
When I was dating Phil, Linda was very envious of me for finding a husband who was considerate, gentle and obedient to me.
When she heard that Phil had a brother, she begged me to introduce them to each other.
"Mandy, please help me." She pulled my sleeve and said coquettishly, "You have found a good husband. How can you bear to see me alone?"
I hesitated, "But Susan is not easy to get along with, and I don't know what kind of personality Phil's brother has..."
She blinked her eyes and said slyly, "It doesn't matter. After we marry her sons, we can deal with her together."
Seeing my hesitation, she added, "They are brothers, so Phil's brother must be a good man. Mandy, I really want to be family with you and we can even complain about Susan together. How happy it will be."
I couldn't resist her begging and introduced her to Phil's brother Toby Smith, and they two got married successfully.
Linda and I both got pregnant at almost the same time and gave birth to our children successfully together.
However, she gave birth to a weak girl, while I gave birth to a lively and healthy boy.
Susan had always favored boys over girls. She never even looked at Linda's daughter. Instead, she happily delighted my son and put many heirlooms into his arms.
Until I was discharged from the hospital, Susan sent me all kinds of nourishment every day, but she ignored Linda.
At first, Linda showed no displeasure, but the favoritism became more and more obvious, and even Susan mocked Linda for not being able to give birth to a son.
Linda went crazy out of jealousy and stabbed me twelve times at my son's first birthday party.
Her hands were covered in my blood, and she was still shouting maliciously,
"Why should I be treated coldly by Susan and criticized by our neighbors every day just because you can give birth to a son?!
"I'll kill you, bitch. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be unable to give birth to a son!"
I gradually lost consciousness and vaguely saw Phil and Susan holding my son and hiding aside, afraid that they would be hurt by the crazy Linda.
They two showed no intention of coming to rescue me, and instead hid in a more remote corner.
When I woke up, I was reborn. I didn't expect that Linda was eager to meet Phil, marry him and have a son.
Now, I was the one who was about to become rich without any pressure of having children.
Chapter 3
Similar to my experience in my previous life, Linda married Phil smoothly.
On the day of getting the marriage certificate, she asked me out for dinner.
In order to make my plan go smoothly, I decided to accept her invitation.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw her leaning on Phil with a sweet look on her face, and they seemed to be in love.
I walked over, put down my bag, and greeted them.
She said delicately, "Mandy, why are you so late? Phil and I have been waiting for a long time. He was afraid that I was starving, so he ordered a small cake for me first."
I looked down at the time. We agreed to have dinner at 5 o'clock, and I arrived at 4:58. How could she be starving?
After hearing what she said, Phil blushed a little and pushed the menu in front of me.
"Miss Jones, take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat."
I smiled slightly, pretending not to hear Linda's boastful tone. Then I casually flipped through the menu, sneering in my heart.
"The dishes on this menu are really good. Have you ordered yet?"
Linda smiled proudly, "Of course, Phil and I researched the restaurant in advance, and all we ordered are the specialties of this restaurant. Mandy, you have definitely never eaten them."
I nodded slightly, "That's great. I'm going to try it."
As I said that, I deliberately glanced at Phil. He seemed a little embarrassed and avoided my gaze.
Linda didn't seem to notice the subtle atmosphere and continued to talk nonstop, "Phil is very good to me. Look at this necklace. He just gave it to me yesterday to celebrate our marriage."
As she spoke, she deliberately shook the necklace on her neck in front of me and had a smug look in her eyes, as if to say, "Look, I am the winner."
I sighed softly, showing an envious look.
"He is really thoughtful. Linda, you are so lucky."
But I was thinking, "I'm definitely going to play the game with you guys well."
After all, I had received the necklace in my previous life, and later I found out that it was bought by Phil on eBay for twenty dollars.
Phil seemed a little embarrassed, "Miss Jones, it's nothing. She just likes to joke."
I smiled softly, "It's okay. I understand."
As I said that, I ordered a few dishes, then looked up at Linda, "Linda, you two are really a perfect match. So enviable."
Linda smiled proudly, "Of course, we really love each other."
She seemed completely unaware that her showing off was nothing but a ridiculous show in my eyes.
I laughed secretly in my heart, and I really enjoyed watching her show.
However, the really interesting part of the show was yet to come. It would only begin when Linda became pregnant.
Chapter 4
After dinner, I went into the lottery shop under my house.
Following the memory of my previous life, I chose the numbers based on my birthday combination.
I remembered that in my previous life, the set of numbers won a high prize of 100 million dollars.
But it had been so long before that I really couldn't remember exactly what day the lottery was, so I just bought one every day.
For fear of being suspected, I went to different lottery shops to buy tickets every time.
The owner of the lottery shop was a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a kind smile on his face.
As he was entering the numbers, he couldn't help but look at me a few more times, "You bought so many bets on this set of numbers, lady. You are so optimistic about it."
I smiled easily and said, "Sir, I just bought it casually. Maybe I'll win someday."
He laughed and said, "Okay, then I wish you good luck."
He expertly printed out the lottery ticket and handed it to me.
I took the lottery ticket, and was thinking, "This is not just a casual purchase. It is my secret weapon for starting a new life."
"Thank you, sir, for your good words."
The prize drawing was in a week, and I still had a lot to do during the week.
The first thing was to move. I didn't want to have any contact with Linda anymore. After all, her retribution would come after she married Phil.
And I, Mandy, would disappear on the day of the lottery draw, so that Linda and the Smiths would never see me again.
