Reborn and Riches Chapter 1
My mother-in-law, Judith, came home with the pregnant mistress, both of them looking like they had just returned from a shopping trip.“Why aren’t you up yet to serve us drinks?” she demanded.I didn’t know who this pregnant woman was and felt puzzled.I poured some tea and placed it on the table.Judith and the mistress burst into laughter, nearly falling over.“This is Helen. She’s carrying Rick’s child. Hurry up and sign the divorce papers and get out of this house.”Previously, Rick had only discussed the divorce privately with me. This time, his mother brought the mistress to humiliate me.It was then I realized the real reason Rick wanted a divorce.I had always ignored the traces left by other women on Rick, thinking that men would inevitably flirt a little with other women. I believed as long as I was still in the house, no mistress could pose a real threat to me.But I was wrong. When a spark tried to ignite, it should be extinguished immediately.Rick took out the d

A sharp pain struck my head as I woke up in bed, lying next to the sleeping Rick.I froze for a moment, and memories of my death slowly flooded back into my mind.‘Had I… been reborn?’I picked up my phone to check the date and time, realizing this was the night we had made our final attempt to have a child.Hatred surged through me, and I wanted nothing more than to strangle the man sleeping beside me.‘Stay calm,’ I told myself.In my previous life, I lived in chaos. This time, I was determined not to make the same mistakes.I recalled visiting the hospital for a check-up, where the doctor had told me I had a body highly prone to pregnancy.Why, then, had I failed to conceive after five years of effort, while Helen managed it so easily?Rick was the one with the problem.I got up and carefully packed the tissue he had used to wipe his private area in a small bag.No matter what the test results revealed, I needed to set up a plan for myself.Helen was his personal secreta

"Mom, why is there an outsider in this house?"A sharp, grating voice came from the doorway.Just like in my previous life, today was the day Judith brought the mistress into the house I had lived in for five years.Helen stood there with a proud expression, deliberately sticking out her pregnant belly for me to see."Helen, this woman knows no shame, clinging to this house like a piece of gum that won’t peel off.""I haven’t divorced your son yet. This is my house," I said coldly."You’re still hanging around? My son already said he doesn’t want you anymore. If you had any shame, you’d pack your bags and give way to my future daughter-in-law."I ignored her and continued eating breakfast. Seeing that I wasn’t responding, Judith slapped my bread and milk off the table.She reached out to hit me, but I shot up from my chair, slapping her face with a resounding smack.The sound echoed through the room, and she staggered, nearly losing her balance.This slap was long overdue.

When I left, I only took that card. I regretted not packing some clothes and necessities.Before my mother passed away, she left me a fixed savings account of 100 thousand dollars, telling me to keep it to myself and not let anyone know about it.My mother told me that nothing was as reliable as the money you control in your own hands.I held that small box tightly, feeling a mixture of emotions in my heart.Back then, when Rick's company ran into trouble, I thought about withdrawing the money from the savings account to help the company through the crisis. Fortunately, it was still within the fixed term, and I couldn’t withdraw a single penny.Rick didn’t know about this, and it was a good thing he didn’t. If he had, he might have taken everything from me without hesitation.The rain outside the window had just stopped.I wanted to hail a cab by the roadside, but unexpectedly, I got splashed with water by a passing car.The driver didn’t even apologize before driving away.I

Before I could answer him, his phone rang."Excuse me for a moment."Jason excused himself to take the call.I regretted not asking for his contact information. I thought that perhaps I could gain some valuable resources from this man.After all, meeting someone like Jason was likely a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.Just as I was leaving the stock exchange after buying my stocks, I unexpectedly ran into Rick and Helen.I wanted to pretend I didn’t see them.But to my dismay, they deliberately blocked my path.“What are you doing here? I didn’t know you had the skills to trade stocks. Playing the stock market isn’t a joke—be careful not to lose all your money.” Rick sneered, his tone dripping with disdain, as if certain I was destined to fail miserably.“Are you two so bored that you have to come and cause trouble?” Their appearance was enough to ruin my mood.Helen even snatched the purchase receipt from my hand, her face full of smugness and mockery.“Did you just randomly b

Not long after, I started a new life.I moved back to the small house where my mom and I once lived. It had been years since I last came here.Being back made me feel at ease.The house was old, and shortly after I moved in, the lights went out because of aging electrical circuits.Late at night, I grabbed a flashlight and climbed onto a small stool to fix the fuse box.“Let me help you.” A sudden voice broke the silence, startling me.I almost fell off the stool, but a man’s hand caught me mid-air, holding me steady.I recognized him—it was Jason.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I just moved back. I’m living in 405,” he replied.It turned out he was living in the apartment across from mine.I thought about how, despite the property management not cleaning the halls daily, the trash bags I left outside my door had mysteriously disappeared.I had assumed some creepy person had been sneaking around and was planning to install surveillance cameras in the corridor.“Oh my

Judith called me and said she wanted to have a talk."Laura, I’m so sorry for everything. If that horrible woman hadn’t deceived us, Rick would never have divorced you. You’re still the daughter-in-law I like the most in my heart. Please come back."Her sudden plea for me to return was clearly insincere."Alright, let’s talk about it tomorrow," I replied.It worked perfectly for me—I had been waiting for this call because I had a surprise in store for them.I arrived slightly earlier than the agreed time and overheard their conversation as I stood outside the door."Rick, I saw her earlier today while I was out shopping. She was buying a car in a store—so extravagant!"The old lady couldn’t wait to share the news as soon as she got back. "I heard her stocks went up, and she made quite a bit. We should ask for the 50 thousand back. That’s your money, and she used it to invest. At least half of the profits should belong to you."Helen seemed shocked after hearing this—she hadn’t

"It was really satisfying. You have no idea how bad Rick’s face looked at that time."I felt incredibly pleased and couldn’t wait to share it with someone, and Jason was undoubtedly the best listener.I tightly held his hand, wanting to pass on my joy of victory to him."That was indeed something to be happy about, but you should drink a bit less."He gently pressed my hand, which was about to pick up the glass again, his eyes filled with concern."No way, I’m so happy! I’m not going home until I’m drunk tonight."The drunkenness spread to my cheeks, and all my words and emotions poured out. My body swayed unsteadily, and I draped my arm over Jason’s shoulder. "You don’t understand the joy of revenge, I’ve died once," I laughed loudly. "I was reborn. It’s a relieve to watch them being in chaos.""You’re drunk. You’re talking nonsense. How can someone be reborn? You’ve just started a new life." Jason pulled me into his arms."I’m not drunk! You’re right, it’s a new life."I s

When I was little, there was a chubby boy living next door.His house was noisy, with his parents constantly arguing.My dad went over to confront them, saying, "What's going on in your house? It's so late, how are others supposed to sleep?"I hid behind my dad and caught sight of the chubby boy.His face was streaked with tears as he sobbed and wiped his eyes.That was the first time I met him. I handed him a candy.Because my mom always said that children wouldn't cry after eating candy.However, when his chubby little hand took the candy, he cried even harder.Later, when I started primary school, I discovered he was in the same class as me.But it seemed like none of the classmates liked him. They even gave him the nickname "Chubs."The nickname was cute, but he didn't like it. He always walked home alone with his schoolbag.One day after school, he was being bullied by kids from another class. He was cornered against the classroom wall.He looked so pitiful.I didn't

Rick groped around, picking up a wine bottle and attempting to smash it over Jason's head.Seeing this, I rushed forward, trying to grab Rick's hand. However, his strength was overwhelming, and I was struggling to hold on.At that moment, the sound of sirens echoed in my ears. Several police officers got out of their cars, guns drawn, and approached us."Drop everything now!" The officer's voice was firm and commanding. They quickly subdued Rick and placed handcuffs on him."Rick, you are suspected of embezzlement, intentional assault, and defrauding others of their money. You'll need to come with us to the station."Both Jason and I were also asked to go and give statements.I looked at the blood on the corner of Jason's mouth. "He wouldn't have done anything to me. You should have waited. The police would have come soon enough, and now you're hurt so badly.""I was worried about you, and besides, that scumbag has had it coming for a long time. This was the perfect opportunity,

On my way home from work, I noticed someone following me.Recent news reports about a pervert on the loose immediately made me alarmed.I quickly pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling as I sent a message to Jason, asking him to come find me immediately.My heart was racing, and I quickened my pace, trying to shake off the mysterious follower. However, the sound of leather shoes striking the pavement followed relentlessly, drawing even closer.When I turned around, I was stunned to see Rick. His face was still bruised from a previous encounter."So, it's you. Sneaking around and following me—what are you trying to do?"I angrily confronted him, attempting to break free from the sudden, suffocating hug he had thrown around me. His grip was so tight I could barely breathe."Let go of me!""I was wrong. Please forgive me. Let's be together again," he pleaded in a pitiful tone, but the redness in his eyes under his hat made him look almost deranged.I knew he had ulterior motiv

I received a call from the hotel. The staff informed me that someone was causing a scene in the hotel lobby, emotionally agitated and insisting on seeing me.This filled me with an inexplicable sense of unease, and I quickly put aside what I was doing.I drove over in a hurry, and before I could even park my car properly, a figure rushed out of the hotel entrance and ran straight toward me.It was an elderly woman, dressed simply and with a frail, thin frame. Her steps were unsteady.Her hair was messy, her face pale, her lips cracked and trembling slightly, and her eyes full of exhaustion.Though she looked much older, I still recognized her.It was Judith."Laura, we were wrong. I know we owes you a great deal. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I really have no one else to turn to. Please, save my son."As soon as she spoke, her voice choked with sobs, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.Then, with a sudden thud, she knelt before me. The unexpected gesture c

After quite a while, the noise at the door stopped.I took a deep breath, gathered my courage, and opened the door a little, still hoping to see Jason.However, his figure was nowhere to be seen outside.I felt a wave of disappointment.Just as I was about to close the door, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side, pulled me out, and wrapped around me quickly and firmly.Jason explained, "Are you mad at me because I didn't tell you about my family?"All sorts of emotions tangled together, leaving me momentarily unsure of how to respond."Please don’t be angry," he pleaded. "I really care about you and don't want to lose you.""No, it's just... If you came for that girl in the first place, why did you say you liked me?" My eyes reddened, and my voice carried a hint of choking.Jason looked at me with a bewildered expression. "What girl?""The one from earlier.""I already explained, didn't I? I see her as my sister. There's nothing between us like what you're thinking."

I went downstairs to take out the trash. As I walked out the building door, I ran into a few elderly men and women sitting around a table in the neighborhood, chatting.One of the elderly men said with admiration, his tone full of praise, "That young man, Jason, he studied abroad, he's really excellent.""My daughter doesn't have a boyfriend yet. I'm so worried. I wonder if Jason has a partner.""Forget it. He came back for a girl." Another elderly woman shook her head, her tone tinged with regret."Jason must have a really great girl in mind." The elderly man seemed very curious about the woman Jason was interested in.Listening to their conversation, I couldn't help but feel my heart race. I asked casually, "Are you talking about Jason Lister?"The elderly woman immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, we’re talking about him. That young man is handsome and talented. He really makes people envy him.""Does he live across from you? Have you seen that girl?"I thought fo

Soon after, Jason handed me his phone and showed me a video.The place in the video was very familiar to me, it was the luxurious villa I had followed Rick to before.People were moving furniture out of the house, and it seemed like Helen had sold it to someone else.Rick was kneeling on the ground, tightly gripping Helen's hand, his voice trembling as he asked, "Is it really just because I lost money in the stock market that you're leaving me?""Trust me, the stock market will rise soon, and we'll have money again," he said.Helen pulled her hand away from Rick and said coldly, "Stop daydreaming. You always say this. Your promises mean nothing to me."Judith, who was standing nearby tried to pull Rick up. "Rick, stop embarrassing yourself here. The child in her womb isn't yours. Why are you still begging her to stay? She's just a malicious woman trying to steal your money! It’s better that she’s gone!""It doesn't matter that the child isn't mine. I just want to give you a home

After the matter was resolved, I called Jason.Considering that Jason had been taking care of me when I was sick last time, I planned to cook a big meal to reward him this time.After work, he picked me up and we went to the supermarket together.I accidentally bumped into Helen at the corner of the supermarket, and she was walking alongside another man."Isn't that your ex-husband's mistress?" Jason gently tapped my arm, signaling me to pay attention.At first, I didn't notice, but after Jason's reminder, I saw her and looked a little longer to confirm, "It's her.""What's her relationship with this man?" Jason asked in a low voice. He also noticed the unfamiliar man beside Helen. Their behavior was intimate, and they occasionally exchanged smiles. There was an unspoken closeness in the air.The man called Helen "baby," which didn't sound like something one would say to a sibling."My god, could he be the father of the baby in Helen's womb?""Maybe."Before we could leave, H

Early in the morning, I received a call from the hotel manager. "Ms. Jackson, a large number of customers have food poisoning. They say the breakfast delivered this morning was the issue. Now, other customers are panicking and demanding to check out. What should we do?"My heart sank, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Wait for me, I'll be there right away."I hung up the phone, quickly gathered my thoughts, and drove to the hotel.Upon arrival, I immediately called a meeting with the relevant department heads and found out the cause of the problem. Multiple customers had reported that the breakfast delivered by the hotel had an unusual smell and unknown contents, suggesting a possible food hygiene issue.The news spread quickly, and Mr. Lowe, who had previously worked with us, arrived upon hearing the rumors. He understood the importance of the hotel's reputation and stepped forward to vouch for the hotel, insisting that our hygiene standards were in no way compromised. His
