Chapter 1
I'm reborn now. I'm here to take revenge on those of you who defied me.
I laid on the hospital bed, my mouth was so dry and it was about to crack. I was begging my daughter who was playing games to give me a sip of water.
My daughter grabbed my hair and poured it down rudely.
I choked to death from drowning.
After death, my soul ascended and found that my daughter and her father were squandering my money, but they scattered my ashes into the sea.
Starting over, I looked at the child with deep hatred in her eyes when she was only fifteen.
I didn't want this child anymore!

"You dirty masseuse, you're in contact with old men every day, just looking at you dirties my eyes!"
"You still want to fight for custody with my principal father? Take a look at your despicable appearance!"
Just as I woke up, I heard Karen's vicious curses.
I touched my burning forehead and realized that I had been reborn.
In my previous life, I was seriously ill in bed after a car accident, begging my daughter to give me a sip of water.
My daughter was annoyed that I disturbed her while she was playing games, so she grabbed my hair and forcefully poured water into my mouth.
"Drink! I'll let you drink enough! You old thing, you are bothering me! I'll beat you to death!"
My mouth and nose were blocked by water, unable to breathe or shout.
In the midst of my daughter and her boyfriend's teasing, I struggled towards death.
After death, my soul ascended and coldly watched the daughter I had desperately raised for twenty-five years.
More than ten minutes after my death, my daughter successfully won and in a good mood, she finally remembered me, her mother.
When she saw me staring at her with wide eyes, she was startled and angrily grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it at my head.
"You want to die, huh? Do you believe I'll gouge out your eyeballs?"
She came over to check when she saw that I didn't react.
When she found out that I was really dead, she panicked for a little while then immediately called her father to report.
I realize that she had been in contact with her father after we got a divorce.
The car accident and the abuse were all her father's ideas.
After I died, they took out my money to enjoy themselves, but scattered my ashes into the sea.
Fortunately, I was given a second chance at life, and in this lifetime, I would only live for myself!
Karen called me several times, but when she saw that I didn't react, she picked up a broom and hit me.
"Are you deaf? I said I'm hungry, can't you hear? Standing there like a dead person, if you want to die, then die quickly. If you're not dead, then go cook for me!"
This bastard was very ruthless, and with just a few hits, my arms swelled up.
I snatched the broom and started beating her mercilessly.
Karen was confused by me.
In the previous life, I was afraid that she would feel inferior because of being from a single-parent family, so I spoiled her in every possible way and never dared to hit her. Instead, I made her lose sight of her position.
When she came to her senses, she cried out in pain, but her stubbornness made her refuse to back down. She even screamed and tried to fight back.
However, she was still young now, so how could she be my opponent? I kicked her against the wall.
"Karen, let me tell you. I am your mother, your only guardian. Your father doesn't want you anymore. If you still want to live a good life, you better behave yourself. From today on, I won't spoil you anymore!"
"You're talking nonsense! My dad didn't abandon me. What do you know? You are just a slut!"
Smack!
I slapped her, and blood flowed from the corner of Karen's mouth.
"Watch your mouth! If you want to eat something, make it yourself. Don't always expect me to serve you!"
After saying that, I turned around and went out, went to the beauty salon to wash my hair, put on beautiful makeup, styled myself, and drove to the shopping mall in the city center.
I completely ignored the dozens of missed calls.
Chapter 2
After dinner, I drove to my own bath center.
Karen had always despised me for being a masseuse.
In my family, boys were favored over girls. Since I was ten years old, I had been kicked out of the house. With only an elementary school education, I couldn't survive in society.
A massage sister felt sorry for me and took me in.
Ironically, I met Ben at the massage center. He was attracted to me and then pursued me aggressively.
He was a deputy principal of a middle school, and I knew that I was not worthy of him. So I worked hard to make money and opened a massage center before marriage, and later developed it into a bath center.
I earned ten times more money than Ben every month, but he still looked down on my background.
Every day when I came home, he demanded me to give him a massage.
I used to think this was a lovely game between us, so I complied with him. But now I realized that he was clearly humiliating me.
In the previous life, even though he was the one who cheated, he hypocritically said that the reason for the divorce was because we had no common topics and that the smell of money on me made him feel disgusted.
Under the guidance of him, Karen scolded me every day for being a slut.
But I still couldn't rest assured about my daughter. In order to fight for custody, I handed over the bath center to Ben.
As a result, Karen resented me. She thought I was sabotaging her and preventing her from living a prosperous life with her father.
I thought I could educate the child well since she was young, but I didn't expect to end up causing my own death.
In this life, I would make all those who harm me pay the price.
First, I need to find the person Ben had an affair with.
I remembered that the mistress was named Irene.
I went to the store and found the assistant manager to ask if she knew her.
In our industry, we had a wide social network. Almost everyone in the small county knew each other.
The assistant manager said there was a girl named Irene in the store before. She brought me a photo for identification.
I took a look and it turned out to be the same person.
Seeing my confusion, the assistant manager said, "Boss, you forgot her? This little girl is the one you brought back. She's a stray orphan. When she came, she was thin and couldn't eat enough. You felt sorry for her and brought her back for me to arrange work for her. In less than a month, she started eating well and became chubby. She's grown up and lovely now."
"Ben also took good care of her, came to see her every day after work. I heard that she had a boyfriend a while ago, and she was pregnant. Last month, she had quit her job. I heard that Ben had found her a new place to live."
With those words, I started to remember.
So Irene was actually an ungrateful person. She had Ben's child now!
This scumbag not only cheated on me with my money, but also kept a mistress.
I hired a private detective to investigate her. Unexpectedly, this couple got together at night.
I saved the photos sent by the detective and slept well. The next day, after lunch, I leisurely returned to that cold home.
Chapter 3
They kept saying that I was a useless waste, but I hadn't been home for only three days and the house was in chaos.
Karen liked her dad because her dad never paid attention to her. When he was in a good mood, he played with her, but when he was in a bad mood, she couldn't even see him.
No one picked up Karen after school, and no one cooked for her, so she had to call her grandparents.
But the old couple was used to their leisurely life at home and couldn't stand her mischief every day.
Ben, who was still lying on his lover's belly, was called back with a phone call, and his face turned so dark.
As soon as I opened the door, everyone's accumulated grievances found a vent.
Karen's grandparents scolded, "Do you even know how to come back alive? Is there any mother like you who leaves her child at home and goes out to have fun?"
Karen ran over and pushed me to the ground, "You shameless woman, how dare you not answer my call? Did you go out with a lover?"
Ben came forward and slapped me: "Is what Karen said true? You shameless woman, how dare you cheat on me?!"
This slap was quite strong, and my face instantly swelled up, completely shattering the last trace of illusion I had about this family.
I looked at my family coldly. Their expressions were fierce, their words were vulgar, and they all looked down on me as if I were a heinous criminal, a rat that everyone shouted to beat on the street.
This family, from beginning to end, was rotten to the core.
I stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Karen looked disdainful, "Now you want to please me? It's too late! The food you dirty person made is all dirty, it's disgusting even to smell it!"
Disgusting?
I held a kitchen knife, took big steps towards Karen, pressed the back of the knife against her neck, grabbed her hair with one hand, and banged her head against the wall after each sentence.
"I get up at five every day to make breakfast for you. How come you don't find it disgusting when you eat it?"
"When you go out and spend my money on eating, drinking, and having fun, how come you don't find it disgusting, huh?"
"When I have to clean up the mess you caused outside, how come you don't find it disgusting, huh?"
Karen was so scared that she wet her pants, even though her forehead was bleeding from being banged against the wall, she didn't dare to resist.
"Let go! You crazy woman!"
Ben came up to pull me, I swiped the kitchen knife backhandedly, and instantly a bloodstain appeared on his arm.
"And you, you keep a mistress outside and got her pregnant. Do you have the nerve to accuse me of having an affair?"
After saying that, I slammed the detective's photos on his face, silencing him.
Ben's parents pointed at me and cursed, "My son is so outstanding, there are plenty of women chasing after him. Must he hang himself on your crooked tree?"
"A massage girl can marry a deputy principal of a middle school. You should feel honored!"
Hearing this, I was so angry that I threw the kitchen knife. It landed right on the table in front of them, scaring the two old people pale.
"Since I gave birth to our daughter, you have never liked me. But all the money for your trips and hiring a nanny comes from me. Can your son's monthly salary of 2,000 dollars support you two useless old people? The fish rots from the head down, and that's saying about you!"
Ben shouted, "Enough, Ann! You're crazy! We must divorce, we have to!"
"Yes, I am crazy, driven crazy by all of you!"
I took out the divorce agreement that I had prepared long ago from my bag.
"Meet at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You must leave with nothing!"
