My mom's best friend married my dad.

She told me that she would love me on behalf of my mom.

However, she spent 300 thousand dollars in two days, but she told my dad that I threatened her to give me the money with their happy life.

She sold my jewelry and said that I was a hopeless romantic and that I would commit suicide if she didn't help me pay off my boyfriend's gambling debts.

Before being in labor, she made love with my dad's secretary in the car and had a miscarriage. But she said that I pushed her down the stairs to prevent her son from competing for the family property.

In the end, my dad disowned me and left me in the countryside alone.

On the way there, my stepmother and her lover killed me and buried my body in the wilderness.

When I opened my eyes, I was reborn. I went back to the day when my stepmother had sex in the car with her lover.

***

My stepmother, Sofia Palin, had an affair with my dad's secretary. Every time she went out on a date, she would tell my dad, Damon Palin, that I needed her.

Sofia made excuses like, "I had a conflict with my boyfriend and wanted to slash my wrists," "I drank too much and acted crazy at the bar," or even "I had venereal disease and needed secret treatment."

If Damon hadn't come to me in a rage in my previous life and ranted about my mistakes, I wouldn't have known that my private life was so colorful.

At this time, he was calling me.

As soon as I answered the phone, Damon questioned me harshly, "Alice Palin, what have you done that Sofia has to solve for you?

"Do you have a conscience? Sofia is going to give birth. Stop bothering her, okay?"

I didn't speak. It made Damon become even angrier.

He raised his voice to roar, "Alice, I'm warning you. I finally have a son. If you dare to let anything happen to Sofia, I'll never forgive you. Send her back right away."

In fact, Damon used to be a good-tempered person, and he never lost his temper, no matter who he was in a relationship with.

But Sofia always said that those women were coaxing him for money.

For this reason, I often drove away those women around him.

As a result, when Damon was angry with me, Sofia became his confidant and even conceived his child.

If I hadn't seen them walking hand in hand on the street, I would have been happy that I had a clever helper who asked me to chase away those women around Damon.

Sofia was pregnant, and Damon married her.

He had longed for a son for years, so he naturally married Sofia.

Unexpectedly, not long after they got married, Damon often questioned me.

However, I don't know what Sofia did every day.

I could only perfunctorily respond to Damon as Sofia instructed.

It was not until one day when Damon rushed into my house with an agreement and growled that he would sever our father-daughter relationship, that I realized how much Sofia had slandered me.

Thinking of Damon's cruelty towards me as well as Sofia and her lover's cruel means in my previous, I was furious.

I thought, "Sofia, you're doomed. I'll reveal your shameless side today.

Dad, I'll let you know whose your precious son is."

I sneered, "Your wife is playing with the whip, and she doesn't want to go back. Why don't you come and pick her up at the park she often mentioned to you?"

The next second, there was a hurried knock on the door.

As soon as I opened the door, Damon and his men rushed in.

He searched the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and even the closet, but he didn't find Sofia.

His face was flushed, and blue veins stood out on his neck. "What did you ask Sofia to do? Where is she? You said she was playing with the whip in the park with you, but why are you at home?

"How could I have such a daughter like you? If I had known you would be a liar when you grow up, I should have strangled you long ago."

Seeing him so angry and frustrated, I felt inexplicably happy.

I thought, "Be angry. The more exciting thing is yet to come."

I sat back on the sofa and took a sip of coffee. "I said Sofia was playing the whip, but I didn't say she was playing with me. Maybe she was playing with one or several guys who are younger and more handsome than you."

Damon's expression suddenly turned fierce, and he slapped me. "Don't blame Sofia for the disgusting things you did."

Sofia's affair had always been a secret. If she and her lover hadn't killed me in my previous life, I wouldn't have known that she was so libertine.

As for where she had the date, I had no idea.

I said, "She's your wife, not my pet. How would I know where she is?"

Hearing my provoking words, Damon lost his patience.

He ordered his men to press me down on the chair and slapped me a few more times, warning me that if I dared to slander Sofia again, he would make me pay.

He said, "Don't think I can't do anything to you. I have plenty of ways to let you tell me the truth."

Then, he sneered, took out my cell phone, and called my boyfriend, Eaton Connor.

Eaton answered, "What's wrong, baby?"

Damon signaled his men to cover my mouth.

When he looked at me, he opened the speaker with a weird smile and said, "It's me, Eaton."

Eaton's voice suddenly became tense. "Mr. Palin, I promise to listen to you and treat Alice very well."

Damon sneered, "No need. I want to apologize to you for introducing my good-for-nothing daughter to you.

"You may not know that Alice has a mental illness. She cuts her wrists at any time, drinks, and acts crazy, and even asks Sofia to take her back from the police station at midnight.

"She is promiscuous. What's worse, she has venereal disease. I only knew these things lately.

"I advise you to break up with her as soon as possible. Don't let her harm you."

Damon spoke without pausing and did not consider what the consequences would be for me after he said that.

At this moment, I finally realized the meaning of "if you lose your mom, you will lose your parent."

On the other end of the phone, Eaton was silent for a while.

Then, he decisively hung up the phone.

I knew he wouldn't believe what Damon said.

Eaton was the son of Damon's partner, and Damon introduced him to me.

But Eaton and I had always been in a good relationship.

He had always trusted me unconditionally.

Damon said smugly, "Sofia won't help you hide your deeds, and don't even think about bothering her anymore."

I got angry, and at the same time, I felt a surge of bitterness in my heart.

Today was my mother's death anniversary.

Just like what he had done in my previous life, Damon only cared about Sofia and never mentioned my mother.

I broke free from his men's control, picked up my mother's photo, and asked loudly with bloodshot eyes, "You only care about Sofia now. Have you ever thought about my mother? Today is her death anniversary!"

Damon got even angrier after I mentioned it.

He yelled, "Your mother... Humph, she didn't even give me a son but left me with a scourge like you.

"Sofia is so kindhearted that you can take advantage of her at will."

"Bastard!" I couldn't help but yell at Damon.

Damon sneered, "How dare you scold me! Well, you really angered me.

"Tear down all the photos on the wall and burn them. Smash all of that woman's things."

The photos and the things are the only memories my mother left me.

I wanted to stop them but was grabbed tightly.

The photos were torn, and the things my mother left were smashed.

The house was a mess.

It was just off hours. I lived on the first floor. More and more onlookers gathered outside, including my colleagues.

In this life, Damon chose to expose my "mistakes" and sever the father-daughter relationship with me in public.

The crowd pointed at me and accused me with contempt in their eyes.

"This girl looked pretty, but she would actually do something like this."

"Although Sofia is a stepmother, she has been very good to the girl. She is pregnant, but she still worries about the girl and takes care of her for so long. What's more, the girl has venereal disease. Many biological mothers might not be able to do that."

"The girl deceived her family out of millions and even scolded her father. We should stay away from this kind of person."

"It's better to sever the relationship so as not to be harmed by such a daughter for the rest of his life."

The more people talked about it, the happier Damon looked as if someone finally understood how difficult he was.

I looked at him coldly, "Okay, I don't mind to sever the relationship. Call my grandparents, aunts, and uncles over. I need them to be witnesses. What if you regret it later?"

Damon snorted, "You are dreaming. I will never regret it."

I looked at the time, feeling a little excited. At the same time, I was increasingly looking forward to the exciting scene that would happen in half an hour.

Not long after Damon made a few phone calls, a large group of relatives came over.

That was great. After all, the exciting scenes naturally needed the audience.

My grandma, Amanda, said sternly, "How many times have I told you to be more restrained? Why don't you listen? You are wild all day long, like your mother."

My grandpa wanted to beat me with his cane. "Sofia is pregnant with the heir of our family. If anything happens to her, you won't spare you."

My two aunts nodded. "Alice, you wasted so much money. If you put it in investment, you could make a lot of money."

"That's right. Alice is not like us. She is really stupid."

"She has venereal disease, but she even kept it a secret. Don't come to my house in the future. It's dirty."

...

My second cousin, Delia, was a well-known internet celebrity. She live-streamed this scene to attract some traffic.

Netizens' comments were even more harsh. [Such a daughter is really a family's disgrace.]

[Has this news spread out of Atwood? Don't let this woman harm others.]

[She's so disgusting. Give me her location. I've prepared 30 stinky eggs to throw at her.]

[ Her whole family hates her. She is really something.]

Netizens were the people of the means. Soon, someone exposed the location of my residence.

Many people came and threw rotten eggs and something dirty at me.

Like an unforgivable sinner, I stood there and let them vent their anger on me.

I was not afraid. The more significant the matter became, the better. I even hoped more people would know this.

The exciting scene was about to begin.

However, someone's arrival collapsed me and shattered the strength I was trying to maintain.

I saw that man in the crowd.

It was Eaton.

I thought he had seen the news about me and came to help me out.

I held back my sobs and tried to signal him with a wink not to come over and that I would solve it.

Unexpectedly, Eaton ignored the dirt on the ground and quickly walked up to me.

But his expression was strange.

He threw a bag full of gifts at me.

Eaton said coldly, "Alice, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. My mom asked me to break up with you immediately. I just returned your things. It's over.

"My mom told me to warn you not to tell others that you have been my girlfriend. We don't want to be embarrassed."

I felt heartbroken all of a sudden, and I could hardly breathe.

I wanted to explain, but before I could speak, Eaton pushed me away. "Get lost. Don't talk to me."

He pushed me to the ground. The porcelain pieces of the cup pierced my palm, and it was bleeding instantly.

The wound in my palm was not as painful as the pain in my heart.

Eaton left. Even his back looked so ruthless.

Damon immediately took out the severance agreement and said, "Sign it. I have to give Sofia a surprise. I'll tell her that she will never have to be threatened by you or have to deal with your trouble.

"Don't say you're my daughter from today on. Go wherever you want, but don't show up in front of me.

"As your father, I think I've been very kind to you. If you want millions, I'll give it to you, but you shouldn't have cheated me in this way. Besides, you shouldn't have ruined yourself and trampled down my dignity."

I was stunned. No matter how strong I was, I still felt heartbroken after suffering Eaton's betrayal.

Damon snorted, "Do you regret it? It's too late."

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a phone call from Sofia.

Only then did I come to my senses and sign the agreement before Damon answered the phone.

He put Sofia on speakerphone.

As soon as the call was connected, Sofia's heartbreaking cries were heard. "Hubby, I'm so sorry. The child is gone..."

Tears welled up in Damon's eyes in an instant. He asked, "What happened?"

Sofia cried for a while and stammered, "It was Alice. She has venereal disease. When I was taking care of her, I said a few words. She scolded me for meddling in her affairs and pushed me down the stairs.

"She... She also said that she would not let me give birth to a son to prevent him from competing for the family property with her."

After hearing what Sofia said, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The truth was finally coming to light.
