Sarah, my daughter, was addicted to drinks and snacks.

She was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and fatty liver. Then I started to strictly control her diet.

I never expected that Sarah would start hating me because of this.

On the day she got into a prestigious high school, she spread rumors about my private life on an online platform.

[I saw a strange man taking off Mom's clothes.]

Linda scolded me for being shameless. Jack beat me up.

Sarah looked at my miserable look smugly.

"You should mind your own business! Now you're getting what you deserve!"

After being kicked out of the house, I was in a daze. Then I encountered a car accident.

But Jack refused to pay for my medical treatment.

Before I died, I heard Sarah excitedly telling her father, "Dad, Mom finally passed away. You should quickly marry Kate and make her my new mom."

...

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back to the day when Sarah got admitted to a prestigious high school.

——

"Give me back my coffee!"

Sarah roared at me fiercely with her face full of disgust. It seemed that I had done something unforgivable.

There was no pungent smell of disinfectant and no irritating white color around.

In place of that, Sarah was throwing a tantrum in bed.

"I was reborn?"

In my previous life, Sarah was admitted to a prestigious high school because of her dance skills and outstanding academic performance.

With no pressure, she started to go crazy and let herself go during the summer vacation.

She enjoyed all kinds of high-sugar drinks and ate a lot of snacks.

Her weight was rapidly increasing. Looking at the examination report showing her high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids, I was somewhat worried.

"If she continues like this, she will get sick."

"Moreover, she is a dance major. With her body shape like this, how can she dance?"

"How can she achieve her dream of dancing on an international stage?"

So I started to strictly control her diet. I persuaded her to quit snacks and drinks. I prepared healthy and nutritious weight-loss meals for her to help her regain her figure.

Unexpectedly, my earnest persuasion and painstaking efforts only earned me Sarah's resentment.

She secretly filmed me, maliciously edited it into a video, and posted it online.

She even insulted me and spread rumors about my private life in public without considering the occasion.

As a result, I was kicked out of the house and got into a car accident. I finally died in the hospital.

My parents wanted to seek justice for me, but Sarah misled the public opinion and made them the subject of abuse online.

Unable to bear it, my parents suffered from depression and took a large dose of sleeping pills at home.

"In this life, I have decided to be a hands-off boss and no longer meddle in other people's business."

"I no longer want to do those tedious tasks from my previous life."

With such a thought in my mind, I handed the coffee back to Sarah and gave her a bag of potato chips.

"Eating sweet things can make you happy. You worked so hard for your dance exam before, so now you should indulge yourself."

Although Sarah was a bit confused, she took the bag of potato chips I had handed to her.

With a mouthful of coffee and a handful of potato chips, she mumbled unclearly, "Humph, I'll do whatever I want. Do I need you to control me?"

...

After saying that, she lay back on the bed full of snack bags and started ordering new snacks on a food delivery platform.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Sarah started high school.

To show off, Linda, my mother-in-law, invited relatives from our hometown to have a feast at our house.

At the dining table, relatives and friends praised Sarah for being outstanding.

"Oh, Alice, you are so lucky. I heard that since your kid got into a prestigious high school, she is like being admitted into a college. In the future, you can just enjoy your life."

I was about to respond with a smile. Unexpectedly, Linda snorted and said,

"What does it have to do with her? It is Sarah getting into a prestigious high school. It's all thanks to Kate's tutoring. If it weren't for Kate's guidance, Sarah wouldn't even be able to get into an ordinary high school!"

"As a mother, she is always busy outside. What has she done for Kate?"

The relatives looked embarrassed and tried to change the topic.

But Linda continued to criticize me relentlessly.

Even Sarah added fuel to the fire on the side.

"My mom doesn't care if I'm happy or not. She just wants me to get good grades so she can show off. Unlike Kate. She genuinely wants me to be happy."

Sitting next to Linda, Kate lowered her eyes, but her words revealed her satisfaction.

"Sarah, please don't say that. Alice is just busy with work and doesn't have time for you. If you say that about her, she will be upset."

Sarah glanced at me disdainfully.

"If she is upset, then so be it. If she dares to do it, why would she be afraid of what others say?"

Kate sighed, seemingly feeling guilty.

But she smiled faintly.

In my previous life, I was constantly stressed because of my relationship with Linda. I didn't have time to pay attention to Kate.

She was a few years younger than me. She was hired as a nanny by Jack, Jack Lee.

Per Jack, I was too busy with work, and I didn't have time for the family.

With kids and elders at home, he needed a woman to take care of the family.

So, Kate was responsible for cooking and most of the housework.

"Now think about it, what Kate does is exclude me from this family."

In my previous life, I was instantly furious upon hearing such words.

I questioned Linda why she repeatedly instigated the relationship between me and Sarah.

Sarah was the kid I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. I couldn't accept that Sarah thought of me like this.

After I defended myself, Sarah took a video of me secretly finding a private fitness instructor, maliciously edited it, and posted it online. She even spread a false scandal about me.

The painful experience of being cyberbullied in my previous life made me tremble uncontrollably.

Thinking of this, I suppressed the emotions in my heart and pretended to agree, saying, "Sarah is right. I'm usually too busy to take care of her, let alone Jack. Thanks to Kate for taking care of the family. I may have to trouble you in the future."

...

Kate got up a little flattered and quickly raised her glass to toast me.

"Alice, you're too polite. These are all things I should do. Sarah is still young. If you don't have time to take care of her, I'll treat her as my own Sarah."

I smiled and drank the wine.

"Kate, will you treat Sarah as your own Sarah when you have your biological daughter in the future?"

At this moment, Sarah stopped eating snacks and pricked up her ears, waiting to hear Kate's answer.

Kate was stunned by my question. She glanced at Sarah, who was full of expectation, and then at Jack, Jack. A hint of shyness suddenly appeared on her face.

And Jack understood what was going on. He glanced at her belly as if there were some rare treasures hidden in Kate's womb.

Not only me but also the relatives around me noticed Jack's abnormality.

Everyone cast glances at me sympathetically.

Combining this with my experience in my previous life, I suddenly realized something.

Jack had been together with Kate. They even had a child.

He brought Kate home, pretending to make her a nanny and letting her take care of Sarah. He was trying to ruin the relationship between me and this family, which was to make me give in to Kate.

"No wonder shortly after Kate came to this family, everyone in the family unanimously wanted to kick me out."

"So, it was all to make way for Kate, a pretentious mistress?"

Just at this moment, Kate spoke with a gentle smile on her face.

"Sarah is the cutest girl I have ever seen. Even if I have my baby in the future, I will treat her as my own Sarah."

Hearing this, Sarah instantly breathed a sigh of relief. The snacks in her hand became even more delicious. But there was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"Some people tried to sow discord between me and Kate, but they failed, right? If Kate were my mother, that would be great."

As soon as she finished her words, everyone at the dining table was silent instantly.

Everyone wanted to see my reaction.

But I pushed the drink on the table to the front of Sarah.

"Sarah, don't you like this juice? Drink more."

Sarah was a little impatient.

"I'll drink whatever I want. You don't need to worry about it."

I smiled.

"Don't worry. From now on, I won't interfere with you anymore."

"Since you like Kate so much, why don't we let Kate live with us directly? You are in a key high school now. You are under a lot of academic pressure, and you need to keep up with nutrition. With Kate here, Mom will feel more at ease."

Sarah, who had been frowning, was instantly relaxed. There was some excitement that she couldn't hide in her eyes.

"Really?"

I nodded to indicate my agreement.

Sarah immediately hugged Kate's arm excitedly and shouted, "Great, now I can see Kate every day!"

...

But Jack, Jack, looked troubled.

"But Kate is pregnant. Will it be too much trouble for her to move in and take care of you?"

Kate quickly replied, "I'm fine. I can take care of Sarah and this family."

...

At this moment, Linda spoke up.

"Kate graduated from a prestigious university. With her taking care of Sarah, Sarah will be able to get into a good university."

Looking at the whole family getting along with Kate, a mistress, I suddenly felt nauseous in my stomach.

They probably don't know that Kate did graduate from a prestigious university.

However, she was a worker in the cafeteria of the prestigious university, not a student.

Later, she was fired by the canteen because of messing around with various men.

To find a job, she forged her educational background and met Jack, Jack, while looking for a job. The two of them quickly got together.

After successfully becoming a nanny in my house, she used the excuse of attending a prestigious university to say that she wanted to tutor Sarah.

She was learning as she went.

Even though she was tutoring, she could only solve some very simple questions.

But Sarah had a serious problem of being weak in certain subjects.

I could only try my best to find teachers who could help her in those weak subjects. I asked them to pay more attention to Sarah's studies.

Because of this, I had to visit those teachers during the holidays. I even spend tens of thousands of dollars each month to get them to give her special treatment.

In the end, Sarah was admitted to a prestigious high school. All the credit went to Kate alone.

"Since Sarah trusts Kate so much, Kate will be the only one to tutor her in the future."

"I want to see if Sarah can get into her dream university without my support behind her."

In addition, I canceled the international dance training class that I spent 80 thousand dollars on for Sarah.

With this money, I enrolled myself in a special class and booked a luxury tour for my parents.

As I recalled my previous life, my parents ran around to help me seek justice. In the end, they were depressed to death due to online bullying. I was so sad that I couldn't breathe.

"In this life, I want to make it up to them and myself."

"I will never spend money on unworthy people again. After all, I earn money the hard way!"
