In my previous life, Gary Payne, my husband, and his friends went fishing and drowned. I couldn't even find his body.

I was so sad that I was unconscious for a few days.

When I woke up and took care of Gary's affairs, I found that not only was he out in debt, but he had also colluded with Lucy Robson, my aunt, and Mona Davis, Lucy's daughter, to transfer all the money out of my company.

When the creditors came to my door, I had no choice but to sell everything.

Ten years later, I was devastated by life, and I ended up begging and picking up garbage on the street for a living. One day, I ran into Gary and Mona. Gary, who should have been dead for years, was passing by me in a luxury car with her.

I pounced on him and questioned him, but all I got was his cold reply.

"I wouldn't have married you if it weren't for your family's money. I faked my death because I wanna get rid of you!"

Mona sneered, "Tilda, you owe my family. I took back what belonged to me. That's all!"

After my rebirth, I returned to the day when Gary faked his death.

——

"Tilda, I'm sorry."

Lucy cried and said to me, "Gary is gone. You must take care of yourself. You are the only family I have left. Please don't be too sad. I don't wanna see anything happen to you!"

I was in a trance.

I was reborn and went back to the day when Gary faked his death!

Looking at Lucy, who was a total hypocrite, crying and comforting me, I was filled with resentment.

In my previous life, after my parents died in a car accident, Lucy was the person I trusted the most.

It had never occurred to me that she had been coveting my parents' inheritance for a long time.

Her daughter, Mona, had secretly been with Gary for a long time, and they had a son.

On the day I learned of Gary's death, I couldn't take it and passed out. In the next few days, I went on being unconscious. During that time, Lucy, Mona, and Gary transferred all the property under my name.

They also left me with a huge debt that tormented me for the next ten years.

I gritted my teeth so hard when I thought of the smug look on Mona's face when she said I owed her family.

When my parents died in that car accident, Henry Davis, my uncle, was also in the car, and he died, too.

After I got my parents' inheritance, I had never treated Mona and Lucy unfairly.

However, they always felt that I owed them and that my parents caused the death of Henry.

The most important thing was that they thought that they should also have a share of my parents' inheritance.

In my previous life, I was so stupid. I failed to see the true colors of those three.

Since I had been reborn, I wouldn't let the same thing happen to me.

I pretended to be sad, wiped my tears, and said, "Lucy, Gary and I love each other so much. It's too much for me!

"He was fine when he left in the morning. After half a day, he's dead?

"Even if he's dead, I wanna see his body. I will find it no matter how much it costs!"

Lucy wiped her tears and sighed, "Silly girl. Why?

"Gary went fishing with his friends and fell into the sea. Where can we find his body?

"Even if we do find his body, I'm afraid that the fish in the sea have already gnawed at his bones!"

I stubbornly insisted on, saying that otherwise, I wouldn't believe that he was gone.

Lucy frowned slightly and sighed again, "You're as stubborn as your parents.

"Fine. Leave it to me. I'll try my best to find his body.

"You're weak, and you haven't eaten for a day. I've made you some spaghetti. Have a few bites."

As she spoke, she brought me a plate of spaghetti from the kitchen.

Smelling the aroma, I was indeed hungry.

Even so, I shook my head and said, "Lucy, I don't have an appetite at all."

In my previous life, when I learned of Gary's death, I felt as if the world was falling apart.

During that time, Lucy stayed with me. One day, she asked me to eat some spaghetti, which caused me to be in a coma for a few days.

Now that I knew that she had secretly added something to the spaghetti, of course, I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

She was a little anxious and said, "Tilda, please!

"You are weak and have hypoglycemia. Not to mention that you haven't eaten for a day. What should I do if anything happens to you?

"Be good and take a few bites, OK? Don't fall sick. That's your main task for now!"

If I hadn't known what kind of person she was, I would have been deceived by her exquisite acting skills.

She came to me with the plate of spaghetti, and I raised my hand and knocked it over.

The spaghetti spilled on her arm. She shook it and exclaimed in pain.

I pretended to be apologetic and said, "Lucy, I didn't mean to. Are you OK?"

She pulled a long face and said grumpily, "If you don't wanna eat it, fine!

"Don't go out since you're so weak. I'll deal with Gary's affairs. I'll tell you when I find his body!

"By the way, the company seal and your personal seal are at home, right?

"I don't think you have time to deal with the company recently. Mona will take care of it for you.

"She'll give you the seals back after Gary's affairs are done."

Hearing her words, I sneered inwardly.

In my previous life, she took away my private seal and official seal while I was in a coma and then transferred the company's property.

I'd never be tricked by her again.

"No need."

I shook my head and sighed, "Mona is about to give birth. I don't wanna tire her out.

"Don't worry, Lucy. I won't collapse till I see Gary's body.

"By the way, Lucy, there have been a lot of people gossiping about Mona's out-of-wedlock birth. Who's the father anyway?

"If she gets abandoned, we must find him and hold him accountable. I've got connections. I promise that we'll ruin his reputation after we find him!"

Lucy panicked.

She looked away and said with a frown, "I don't know what Mona is thinking. I asked her many times, but she never told me!

"Well, don't worry about it for now. Take care of yourself.

"I'll send someone to find Gary's body as soon as possible. Let's make it clear. Be prepared. Make sure it's not gonna be too much for you to deal with.

"I might as well die if anything happens to you!"

After getting my guarantee, she hurried out of my place.

Watching her leave, I sneered and picked up the phone to call a private detective.

In my previous life, I had been suspicious of Gary before he faked his death.

During that time, I was in poor health and recuperated at home, but he didn't stay home and take care of me. Instead, he often went out to fish with his friends.

Later, I found out that he had in fact gone to be with Mona.

It was not until I was about to die that I knew Gary was the father of her baby.

It was fair to say that my marriage was full of conspiracies.

Ever since I inherited my parents' legacy and took over the company, Mona and Lucy had been plotting in secret.

They arranged for me to meet with Gary.

In fact, Mona had been pregnant before I got married to Gary.

After getting married, I wanted a child, but Gary always found all kinds of excuses to turn me down.

He said he didn't wanna wear me out, and he didn't want the kid to ruin our romantic life.

I bought it at that time, naively thinking that I could wait for a few years. After all, we were both young.

Now that I thought about it, I blamed myself for being so naive. I trusted those three too much.

After the call was connected, before I could speak, Leroy Thompson, the private detective, said hurriedly, "Ms. Robson, I was just about to call you!

"You asked me to investigate your husband's recent whereabouts. I've got some clues!

"He's been to Moonlight Community a lot in the last month. I spent money and used my connections to get the surveillance video of that community and found that he often went to Villa No. 12 of Moonlight Community...

"Also, during this time, he's been to the maternal and child health hospital with a pregnant woman, and it seems that they're quite intimate."

As he spoke, he sent me the surveillance video and the photos he secretly took.

I glanced at them, gritted my teeth, and snorted.

The pregnant woman was indeed Mona.

Lucy and Mona lived in the No. 12 villa in Moonlight Community.

After Henry and my parents had a car accident, I inherited my parents' money. Figuring that Lucy was the only family I had left, and she and Mona must have been struggling, I bought the villa for them.

And how did they repay me?

They bit the hand that fed them. They were so ungrateful!

I transferred Leroy 150 thousand dollars and said coldly, "Find Gary, and I'll give you another 750 thousand dollars!"

Leroy said excitedly, "Ms. Robson, you have my word. As long as he's still in town, I'll find him!"

I went out, found a join to eat something, and then went to the office.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I found that many people were looking at me weirdly.

They probably have heard Gary's "death" and are wondering what I'm doing here.

My secretary, Madge Binder, walked over quickly. She said to me anxiously, "Please go to the Finance Department right now!

"I didn't inform you because I didn't wanna disturb you. Ms. Robson and Ms. Davis are firing everyone there since they wanna take full control of money..."

I knew it. Of course, Lucy and Mona would do something!

Lucy didn't get the seals when she was at my place, so she wanted to start with the Finance Department.

Once Lucy and Mona got their way, they'd transfer every penny my parents left me in a second.

I came to the Finance Department. Before I entered, I heard Lucy and Mona scold my accountants, including Faye Barber.

Lucy scolded, "The Robson family owns the company, and I'm Tilda's aunt and her only family. She won't say a thing now that I'm firing all of you!

"She's been home recuperating these days and hasn't gotten time to ask about the company's financial affairs, so she asked me to come and check the accounts. Why are you stopping me? How bold!

"Are you worried that I'll tamper with the company's financial affairs?

"You know me! Even Tilda's late parents didn't treat me like a thief. You work for us. Don't forget that. You really think you own this place?

"I'm being nice. If you dare to stop me again, you'll all be kicked away!"

All my accountants, including Faye, pulled a long face. If it weren't for the fact that Lucy was my aunt, they'd have called the security guards to kick Lucy and Mona away already.

Faye said to Lucy, trying to be as patient as she could, "That's not quite proper, don't you think?

"We aren't standing your way. The thing is, Ms. Robson didn't give us any orders. Don't you think you're giving us a hard time by showing up here unannounced and demanding the power to control the money just like this?

"At least show us Ms. Robson's personal seal or the company's seal. Or I can just call her..."

Before she could finish her words, Mona said angrily, "Shut up! Gary is dead, and she's home mourning. You really think you should call her now? Don't disturb her!

"Tilda is in poor health, and Gary's accident has worsened her condition. You really think she's in the mood to manage the company now?

"I'm pregnant, OK? She asked Lucy and me to help her manage the company's financial affairs! Or I wouldn't have bothered at all!

"Enough said! Hand over your work. You'll have a few days off. Come back when Tilda is done with Gary's affairs and comes back!"

Lucy and Mona were on their high horse, thinking that they owned the place. I was pissed off and amused.

Faye and the others were so angry that their faces turned red. In the next second, they saw me standing at the door.

Their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said, "Ms. Robson! We're about to quit our jobs if you don't show up! We're being given a hard time!"

Lucy and Mona were stunned and turned around at once.

When they saw me, they looked a little panicked.

I pretended to be confused. "Lucy, what are you and Mona doing?

"When did I tell you to take over the company's finances?"

Hearing what I said, everyone in the office looked at them strangely.
