Eavesdropped Secrets: Reborn After Death

"He's going through a tough time lately. Why don't we let it be?"Mom could not bear to trouble Mr. Warner. As soon as she said that, Dad slapped her across the face. He pinned her against the ground and kicked her a few times. Still, he was furious. He grabbed a steel pole from the corner of the room and began hitting her with it. "shameless! You used my money to support another man! How dare you tell me to forget about it! Do you have a death wish?"Mom was beaten black and blue, even missing two of her teeth. Finally, she caved in. "I'll go! I'll go right now."That was when Dad stopped. He decided to go with her to prevent her from pulling any tricks. As soon as they left, Alex, my brother, started cursing our mother out. "Serves her right!"He was another scumbag as well. Still, there was no rush. I could take my time. I will make them suffer the pain I suffered a hundredfold! Half an hour later, they came back. "Well? Did you get the money?" Alex hurriedl

Dad's eyes were red with fury. "What? Do you want to kill me? Alright! Come at me! Stab me right here!"Wendy was scared stiff and stood there with a pale look on her face. She did not even dare to de-escalate the fight. I made the first move, going over to her and pulling her away into a safe corner while I gently comforted her. "Did we scare you? This is just how our family is. Both Dad and Alex are rather violent. I think the doctor called it Jacob's syndrome or something like that… Still, it doesn't matter. Once you marry into the family, you'll get used to it after a while."Wendy spun around to stare at me. "W-What did you say?"They've always been like this? They have Jacob's syndrome?""Yes," I nonchalantly nodded. "Who cares what the syndrome is called? Dad says men like that will sire kids with stronger wills to live. He just clashes a lot with Alex due to their personalities. If they ever get so angry that they hit you… Don't get mad. Just bear with it, and it'll

In the end, Dad was taken to the hospital. However, even though the doctors saved him this time, the infection was so bad that it triggered a stroke that paralyzed Dad. Even after the wound was healed up, he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. When Alex heard that, his disdain for Dad grew. He refused to let Dad stay in the hospital and insisted on dragging him home. Dad glared and scowled, but Alex kept acting like he was in the right. "You're already paralyzed. Why waste more money on a hospital stay? Rather than spending it on you, why not save that small sum for when I have to get married?"Alex then forced Dad into the wheelchair. Dad wanted to scream and shout, but he could only mumble and moan in his anger after suffering a stroke. After all that effort, he still could not say a single coherent word. Back home, Alex transferred all of Dad's savings into his account. From then on, he spent every day flirting around outside the home, heedle

Mom was flirting with Mr. Warner when I got home. He had his arm around her as he spoke to her in a gentle tone, "In a few days, I plan on starting a business. I still need more money..."Just then, I barged in and interrupted their intimate moment. Mom was not happy. "What is it? Why do you look so ruffled?""There's a pervert outside who's chasing me..."As I rambled on in faux fear, I filled in a few gaps with my thoughts. 'He even says he's willing to give me tens of thousands in order to marry me! That was terrifying!'The second Mom heard my thoughts, her eyes lit up with greed. "You just got chased around by a man. What's there to worry about? Mr. Warner and I will go with you to work tomorrow. Tell me who that man is, and I'll help you."I nodded. "Thanks, Mom."The next morning, Mom went with me to the factory. It just so happened that Jason spotted me as well and came over to flirt with a lecherous grin on his face. "Why did you run off that quickly last n
