The Rose of Vengeance: She Seeks Beauty for Herself

I caught my husband cheating with a group of people.

My husband suffered asthenospermia, but he wanted a child.

After going through hardships, I became pregnant with twins.

The postpartum sequelae caused me to have a high amputation. My husband and the nanny conspired to kill me for insurance.

When I opened my eyes again, I went back to the time when I was just pregnant and my husband hurriedly hired a nanny to take care of me.

But I turned around and called friends and relatives to watch their sex.

When my colleagues found out that my husband had hired a nanny for me, they all praised him as a good man.

"I really envy you. When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law came to take care of me, but there were troubles every day."

"Claire is so lucky. Nick Dean is really a rare good man."

I nodded politely, but in my heart, I was calculating when to reveal Nick's true face.

Nick didn't smoke or drink, and rarely attended boring gatherings with colleagues. He pretty much listened to me obediently.

Every time he would smile and say, "Accompanying my wife is the most important thing."

It wasn't until the second year of our marriage that I found Nick's report on asthenospermia.

Only then did I realize that he just pretended to be virtuous and forced me into doing IVF.

At this point, Nick's eyes were red, like an abandoned puppy.

Later, he became even better to me, and my mother-in-law became more humble. She even wiped away tears in front of me several times.

In order to fulfill Nick's wish to become a father, I did IVF.

For him, I had to endure hundreds of injections over three years before finally getting pregnant.

It was twins, and my husband's family was overjoyed.

Nick specially hired a nanny to take care of me, claiming that the nanny and I were of similar age and could chat together.

I had a severe hemorrhage when giving birth, and suffered serious sequelae, resulting in amputation of both legs.

At this moment, Nick seemed like a different person, looking at me with disgust.

It was only then that I realized that Nick had always liked Elena Gordon, the nanny, and he didn't want her to suffer from the pain of in vitro fertilization.

What a hypocritical man. He used me as a stepping stone for their happy life.

I made a big scene at home, but the court refused to grant a divorce because I had just given birth.

Nick then discussed with Elena about killing me for insurance.

When talking about this matter, they even didn't avoid me.

But Nick had established a good image as a passionate man, and no one believed me.

I died in a car accident and saw this couple taking the money, buying a new car, and living carefree.

I couldn't rest in peace.

Back home, Nick still had that pleasing look on his face.

I used to think he truly loved me, but now I just find it disgusting.

He quickly took off my commuter bag and eagerly said, "Honey, you've worked hard. I supervised Elena cooking. Come and taste it, to see if it suits your taste."

"Yes. Mr. Dean told me a lot about your dietary restrictions and even specifically looked up which foods are good for pregnant women."

These two were really tacit.

Instead of supervision, it was more like an opportunity for the two of them to flirt.

I gave Elena a cold look and said, "You're the nanny hired by Nick, but you needed him to look up information for you. Are you really qualified for the job?"

Elena didn't expect me to say that and looked at Nick with some grievances. Nick's concern was clear all over his face, but he couldn't show it. "Isn't it my responsibility as a husband? I need to learn more so I can take better care of you in the future."

See, this man was so good at pretending to be innocent.

I couldn't be bothered to talk anymore and started enjoying the dinner they prepared for me. After all, it was quite nice to have both of them as my free nannies.

Seeing that I had almost finished eating, Nick asked, "Honey, since you're pregnant, why don't we start saving half of our salaries every month and put it in a separate account for babies?"

He said the same thing to me in my previous life, and I agreed without hesitation. But in the end, the money became his and Elena's wedding gift.

Now I realized that Nick had always been changing my financial situation from a long time ago, making it impossible for me to break free.

"Didn't you promise me before we got married that you would be responsible for earning money to support the family? My salary every month is not even enough for myself, how can I save money?"

"Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself by saying that? My colleague's wife doesn't even work, but he still gives her a monthly allowance of 3,000. Learn from him. If your salary is not enough, find some side jobs. You are about to become the father of two children. But we don't have much savings. You need to reflect on yourself."

In fact, I rarely inquired about Nick's salary and never spoke to him in such a sarcastic manner.

For a moment, Nick was a bit stunned.

Elena quickly intervened, "Mr. Dean cares about you a lot. He even gave me extra money to buy more snacks that you like."

"Oh, so you've been using my husband's salary? Nick, you give a raise to a nanny but don't give money to me, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of us looked at each other, and Nick was struggling to suppress his anger.

"Why are you in a bad mood today?"

"Don't you know pregnant women have emotional instability?"

I glared at Nick and turned back to the room, leaving them alone.

Nick must have appeased Elena, or maybe they came up with a way to deal with me.

Nick entered the bedroom and started apologizing to me, going on and on.

I quickly stopped him. "If you want to show sincerity, transfer one thousand to me. I've had my eye on a bag."

Nick was taken aback, then gritted his teeth as he said, "Fine."

The next day, I took a day off and had an abortion with this one thousand.

Goodbye, Nick's beloved children.

In the following days, I pretended to have unstable emotions as a pregnant woman and constantly picked fights with Elena and Nick.

I deliberately scolded Elena harshly in front of Nick, saying that her cooking skills were poor and how dared she work as a nanny.

I heard Elena muttering, "She didn't used to be like this. Why is she causing so much trouble now?"

Huh? I have only been nitpicking at her since the first day she came.

So, there was only one possibility that Elena had also been reborn, which actually provided me with a better chance for revenge.

Elena's family favored boys over girls. After her brother got married, she lost her place to stay, and she didn't have any skills to earn enough money, so she had to live in a basement.

Nick felt sorry for her, but he didn't have enough money to rent a place for her, so he let her move into our house and work as a live-in nanny.

I was confused at that time. I had just become pregnant and could still move freely. Why was Nick so eager to hire a nanny for me?

He really went through a lot for this. The woman he liked worked as a laborer at our house and was troubled by me every day.

Because of this, Nick had talked to me privately many times, "Claire, I know you are tired from being pregnant, but Elena is also poor. Her parents don't like her and she can't find anything else to do. You..."

"Isn't it because of me that she is poor? Did I not let her find a job? Did you not give her a salary? Is she your wife or am I? Why are you siding with an outsider? If people don't know, they would think she is your mistress."

I know that Elena was eavesdropping outside the door, so I deliberately spoke loudly.

Nick immediately felt guilty and retaliated louder than me, making it clear about his relationship with Elena, and also belittling her. "She is from a small village and not as good-looking as you. How could I let her be my mistress!"

Yeah, you don't want her to be your mistress, but your wife.

But in the surveillance video, I heard he say, "Claire can't compare to you. I only love you all my life. As soon as she gives birth, I will divorce her."
