I folded my arms in front of my chest while watching Yolanda put on a one-woman show quietly.

At that moment, the front door was opened with a click. Thomas had returned from his job.

He frowned when he noticed how tense things were. Then, he quickly approached me and eyed me from head to toe. Only when he observed that I wasn't getting bullied did the frown between his brows dissipate.

"What's wrong?" he asked me, as though he didn't notice that there were other people at home.

Thomas had never liked the Dentworths from the start. Every time they visited, he merely sat in a corner without saying anything. He didn't really do anything other than show them the basic courtesy.

"Nothing much. It's just that Mathias' in-laws are met with a challenge that they can't overcome. Think about it—two certainly elderly people have come across an insanely difficult hardship, so they want to move in with us and leech from us.

    "What did you just say?"Howard's and Yolanda's expressions changed immediately. They rushed over in an attempt to get their hands on me."Your money will be passed down to Mathias and Pamola after you die! That means the money you're using right now is also theirs!"Haven't you thought about what will happen to you when you grow old? Why did you even hurt Mathias' and Pamola's feelings like that?"Hmph! I'd rather rely on myself than rely on that useless son of mine!I felt my heart being plunged into an icy abyss when I recalled the moment Mathias and the Dentworths dumped our ashes into an unknown river after Thomas and I died in my previous life.A loud slap cut through the chaotic arguments. Yolanda had tried to scratch my face but ultimately failed. Instead, I responded by slapping her in the face, thus snuffing out her shrieks.Meanwhile, Thomas helped me out by kicking Howard and Mathias, who tried to hit me as well.Pamola was the only one left standing, though her kne

    In order to stop Mathias and the Dentworths from affecting my company's reputation by repeating their woes over and over again in public, I decided to apply for an outstation position after discussing the matter with Thomas. That way, I'd be able to start furthering my career overseas.Honestly, Thomas had plans to further his own career overseas as well during the first quarter of this year. But he never carried out his plan because he had cared about Mathias and the Dentworths back then.Having seen the way they tried to hurt me that day, Thomas finally saw Mathias and the Dentworths' true colors. He no longer held out hope for them.So, he agreed to the academic exchange program the university had applied for. He'd be heading to his new unit with me next week.Before that, I wanted to get some matters sorted out first.I canceled the subsidiary card I had previously applied for Mathias. All I left for him was a card with an account that contained less than 20 thousand dollars i

    A few months later, Mathias and the Dentworths came up with a plan after realizing that they had completely lost track of us. They began spreading false news on the Internet. Trending topics such as "#Devil-in-law abuses daughter-in-law", "#What should I do if my mother-in-law sells the apartment I bought using my savings", and "#My in-laws escaped with all of our money, and now my family can't survive because of them" began appearing on Twitter.Mathias and the Dentworths wanted to use those topics to attract the masses' attention and go viral instantly.Pamola went as far as to start live-streaming the whole day. As she sobbed, she told the viewers about how I, the mean mother-in-law, had been abusing her ever since she married into my family.When I read the comments left by the Internet users who kept criticizing me and Thomas out of sympathy toward Pamola, I couldn't help but smirk.I wanted Mathias and the Dentworths to make this incident go viral.

    In my past life, my selfish son, Mathias Keyton, got himself a girlfriend when he first started studying at university.When he introduced his girlfriend to us, we were very satisfied with her behavior and demeanor.At first, my husband, Thomas Keyton, and I thought that Mathias had already grown up into a mature adult and wanted to settle down with his girlfriend.But who would've thought that reality would be the exact opposite?Mathias' girlfriend, Pamola Dentworth, may have looked fragile and dainty, but she was actually a woman who clung to her mother and prioritized her little brother's needs more than anything else. Also, she was very vain and materialistic.Honestly speaking, Pamola had to be one of the worst people I had ever met.After she married Mathias, she suggested that we live together. Her excuse was that she wanted to take good care of us. But Pamola was quick to convince Mathias to give the house Thomas and I had bought for them to her brother. In fact, she e

    I placed the two plates of freshly made breakfast on the dining table. Thomas still had a class to teach at 8:30 am. After breakfast, he helped me clear the table and do the dishes before leaving the house.After that, I turned on the television and sat on the couch. Once I increased the volume to a certain threshold, I started waiting for Mathias and Pamola to leave their room.When the hour hand of the clock was almost done with its third lap, the door of the silent room was finally opened from the inside.I raised my head to look at the time. It was almost 10:00 am. It seemed that Mathias didn't plan on going to work again today.A figure walked past me without even glancing in my way. He made a beeline for the kitchen right away.Soon, an impatient voice sounded. "Mom, where's my and Pamola's breakfast? Why isn't there any food in the kitchen?"I didn't even avert my gaze from the television screen as I replied casually, "I thought you two weren't going to have breakfast agai

    During this period, Mathias still had a grudge against me for scolding him back then. Till now, he refused to talk to me.Of course, I enjoyed the tranquility that came with his radio silence.Whenever Mathias came to talk to me, it'd always be about asking me for money. To him, I was just as useful as a free ATM.Pamola, on the other hand, began appearing around me frequently. I knew what she was doing, but I didn't expose her right away. The sight of her looking so stiff and awkward made me chuckle on the inside."Pamola, wash some fruits before serving them on a plate.""Pamola, this coffee table is too filthy. Come clean it up.""Pamola, the laundry is done. You should go hang it.""Mom, I'm a little tired. Why don't you do that yourself? Whenever I'm home, my mom doesn't have the heart to let me do all these chores."Pamola pretended to be exhausted as she sank on the couch. After that, she didn't move an inch.I turned to look at her silently. Finally, Pamola's unnatural

    I opened the social media app that I had never used in my previous life.Back then, Mathias never liked getting disciplined since the moment he was born. When he grew older, his ego grew exponentially, and he never showed anyone any respect.Things changed when he became a high school student. After Mathias got severely punished due to his involvement in a rather severe incident at school, Thomas and I sat down and had a long talk about Mathias' behavior. Since women were naturally observant and maternal, we decided that I'd be the one to quit my job and keep an eye on Mathias' studies in the end.Once Mathias got married, I planned on returning to my job. But I ended up getting brainwashed by both Mathias and Pamola into taking care of them at home willingly.In fact, I even had plans to raise my grandchildren once they were born.Well, no one could force me to give up on my favorite job in this lifetime.
