I had been married for seven months, but my husband had not even touched me.

Even on the wedding night, he left me alone in the room and went to take care of his friend.

When I suffered a car accident and needed help, he just said, "Well, go to hell."

Then, he answered a phone call, and I heard a female voice on the phone, "Max, get me the stockings."

I learned the truth just before I died.

When I woke up, I found that I was reborn, back to the third month of my marriage.

***

My husband, Max Hardy, called me, "Stella, transfer 700 thousand dollars to me. Rowan wants to buy a new car."

I, Stella Myers, listened to Max's words on the phone in a daze for a while before I confirmed that I was reborn.

"I'm talking to you. Are you mute?" Max said impatiently on the other end of the phone.

Everyone thought Max and I were a loving couple.

But only I knew that he left me alone in the room on the wedding night because his friend, Rowan Adams, got injured and needed him.

I thought Max was kind and helpful, so I didn't stop him but even said thoughtfully, "I support you. Otherwise, your friends will say that you forgot about them after you got married."

At that time, I thought his friend, Rowan, was a man. But actually, Rowan was his mistress.

Max just looked at me and left without saying a word.

Since then, he seldom went home. He was either on a business trip or went to see Rowan.

After seven months of marriage, he had not even touched my hand.

Only before I died did I find out about the affair between Max and Rowan.

I was reborn. In this life, I wouldn't indulge Max anymore. I was even glad that I had not made love with him, or I would definitely feel disgusted.

"She wants to buy a car. What does it have to do with me?" I said indifferently. "By the way, take some time to get a divorce."

Max said coldly, "What's wrong with you, Stella?

"You actually envy Rowan! She is just my friend. I treat her as my sister. You really get a dirty mind.

"You let me down! I planned to accompany you tonight, but now, you have lost the chance!"

Max's voice was cold, and then he hung up the phone.

He was waiting for me to coax him because I had always caved into his emotions.

Max came from a very humble background, and I was a wealthy lady, so I was always worried that something I said too harshly would hurt his fragile self-esteem.

However, this became an excuse for his arrogance.

I ignored Max and drove home.

My parents bought me the villa. I could not wait to go back and throw all of Max's things out. I felt sick just thinking about it.

When I got home, I saw the servant, Linda Perry, standing at the door and sighing.

Even through the door with excellent sound insulation, I could hear the noise inside.

"Linda, what's going on?" I asked with a frown

I was happy to see Linda again. After all, she had taken care of me since I was a child.

Linda sighed, "Stella, your mother-in-law and some of her relatives are here."

She wiped her bloodshot eyes. Obviously, she had just cried. "They... They said I was a servant and not worthy of staying in the same room with them, so they kicked me out."

Upon hearing this, I got furious. "Linda, you are a family member, not a servant."

I suppressed my anger and forced a smile. Then, I took Linda's hand and opened the door.

When I opened the door, Olivia Hardy, my mother-in-law, yelled harshly, "You damn servant! Didn't I tell you that you are not worthy to be in the same room with us? Get out of here!"

When Olivia saw me, her arrogance did not subside, and she even sneered.

She sat cross-legged on the sofa worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and said to the relatives she brought with her, "Oh, it's you, Stella, the infertile bitch."

"What's the use of being rich? She can't even conceive.

"She and Max have been married for more than three months, but she is still not pregnant. Who knows if it's because she was promiscuous before marriage and has become infertile?"

"Max shouldn't have married her."

Olivia's relatives started speaking caustically.

Seeing that I was silent, Olivia thumped the table, stood up, and pointed at me. She shouted, "Are you dumb? We are all your elders, and you didn't even greet us. I'm warning you, Stella. If you don't serve us well, I will let Max divorce you!"

"Stella, don't be ungrateful. No man wants a divorced woman."

"That's right. If she is divorced, she is an abandoned woman."

"You are wrong. Is she pure now? It's said that rich girls are promiscuous. I guess she might have aborted children before."

Max's aunts were eating desserts while slandering me.

Linda was so angry that she pointed at them and retorted, "How can you talk like that? Stella has been excellent since she was young. How dare you slander her?"

"Oh, you dare bark at me," Olivia sneered. "You are just a servant. What do you think you are?"

"You..." Linda was too kind. Hearing Olivia's vulgar words, she almost cried.

I took Linda's hand to comfort her, then looked at those people and said, "Get out. Here is my home. You are not welcome."

Olivia roared, "What?

"Bitch, are you going to rebel?

"I'm your mother-in-law. How dare you drive me away?"

Olivia was angry.

"This villa is mine. It has nothing to do with your son," I said coldly.

Olivia snorted, "You and Max are married. You belong to him, and this villa is also his. Don't you understand this common sense?"

What? A common sense?

I had always known that Max's family was outrageous, but I had never provoked Olivia in my previous life, so I didn't expect her to say such ridiculous words.

I said calmly, "I married Max, but I'm not his possession. Except for being his wife, I don't have any other relationship with him.

"Besides, the villa is my pre-marital property. It has nothing to do with him."

I pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here right away, or I'll ask the security guards to drive you out or call the police!"

Olivia spat. "What do you mean?

"You married Max, and you are his. It's legal!

"Your pre-marital property? How dare you have the nerve to say this? Max is excellent, but he is willing to marry you. Isn't it reasonable for you to give him a villa?"

Olivia was unreasonable and shameless, which made me feel helpless.

Just then, a woman went downstairs.

She wore a pink Chanel blazer, a Hermes skirt, and a pair of customized crystal shoes.

Besides, she wore several necklaces, a pair of black pearl earrings, and four or five bags on her arms.

On her wrist, it was the Graff Diamonds Hallucination.

Everything she wore was mine.

This woman was Karin Hardy, Max's sister-in-law. After going downstairs, she said excitedly, "Look, Olivia. Do I look good?"

Olivia smiled, "Of course, you are beautiful. You gave me a grandson.

"Unlike someone who can't even get pregnant. She's ugly no matter how she dresses her up."

As she spoke, she glared at me.

Karin deliberately walked in front of me and said, "Stella, your family is rich, so you won't be angry if I take something from you, right? I know you won't be so stingy."

I looked down at the crystal shoes on Karin's feet. Seeing the dirt in her toenails, I almost couldn't suppress my anger.

I took a few deep breaths before calming down.

Seeing me like this, Karin was still smiling.

I took out my cell phone and took some pictures of her, especially the wristwatch and jewelry.

"What are you doing?" Karin said unhappily. "These are all mine now. You can't take pictures of them."

I ignored her and took Linda outside, asking, "Are the surveillance cameras working?"

Linda paused for a moment, then took out her phone and cheeked. She nodded. "It all works."

"Linda, you..." I whispered in Linda's ear.

Linda heard what I said and left. I calmed down before entering the villa.

Karin looked at me. "Stella, are you mute?

"I'm talking to you. Why don't you respond?"

Karin snorted.

I glanced at her and said, "I can give you the clothes and shoes if you like them, but you have to leave the jewelry and the wristwatch to me."

Karin refused. "Why?

"I like them, and they are all mine. You don't even want to give them to me. You are really stingy."

She put her hands on her hips and cursed.

I didn't get angry but calmly said, "Those pieces of jewelry are all representative works by a famous designer, and the designer has passed away, so the jewelry's value is even higher, at least 300 million dollars."

Everyone in the living room was stunned when they heard this.

I continued, "That wristwatch is the Graff Diamonds Hallucination, and it's worth 384 million dollars."

Those people were dumbfounded.

Olivia was the first to come to her senses. She sneered, "You are fooling me. It's impossible. There are not such expensive jewelry and watches in this world. It's absolutely impossible!"

She walked over, took Karin's hand, and looked at the wristwatch. Then, she said, "These colorful diamonds are obviously fake. They are completely valueless."

I ignored Olivia, looked at Karin, and said, "You can search for it on your phone and know how much it is."

Karin immediately took out her cell phone, but before she could search for it, Olivia stopped her.

She whispered, "Karin, don't check it. Just treat it as a cheap watch and take it away."

I didn't hear what she said, but I guessed it roughly.

"Let's go. It's boring to stay in this shabby villa," Olivia said to others. "I'll take you to a five-star hotel."

The five-star hotel she mentioned was my family's property.

I stood at the door and said, "Everyone, if you leave like this, I will sue you for theft and robbery. The amount involved is more than 800 million dollars, which is very serious."

Olivia yelled, "Are you trying to scare me?

"They are just cheap goods. Even if they are really valuable, what can you do to me?

"You married Max, so you belong to him, and everything you have is also his!

"Max listens to me. He will agree to whatever I want."

Olivia pushed me away.

I deliberately fell. My forehead hit on the door, and it was bleeding.

The group of people left, and Linda came back soon.

Seeing the blood on my forehead, she quickly came over to apply medicine to the wound, saying, "Stella, how did you have such a terrible family?"

"It's my fault. I didn't see through their true colors." I sat on the piano bench, which those people had not sat on.

Max was a college student whom I subsidized. He was outstanding and very grateful.

After graduation, he joined my company to help without asking for any salary. His sincerity moved me, which led to this marriage.

But I didn't know that his kindness and sincerity were just a disguise.

"Did they have a conflict with the security guards?" I asked.

Linda nodded. "When they were about to leave, the security guards stopped them. Olivia beat the security guards, and they ran out."

Just now, I asked Linda to let the security guards stop these people but not to really stop them.

Next, I just needed to wait.

Less than two hours later, Max called me.

He roared, "Stella, you actually sent my family to the police station just because you were jealous. How could you be so heartless?"

I turned on the speaker, put the phone away, and didn't reply or hang up.

Max continued, "I'm going to the police station. You must go there right away!

"Otherwise, you will never win my love!"

He roared on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, see you at the police station." I hung up the phone with a smile, then called my dad, "Dad, I need the company's legal team help me."
