I thought I’d carry my resentment into the
next life.
Suddenly, I heard Jason’s angry roar, “Get a
divorce, but don’t drag me into your poverty!”
I moved my stiff limbs. Sharp ceramic shards
on the floor pierced my feet.
Pain!
I stared at Jason’s acne–ridden teenage face.
I sluggishly realized I was back to the day
L
after his middle school exams, the day I
discovered Jason’s dad’s affair and decided
to divorce.
Was this a second chance?
My hands felt warm, burning, my heart
pounding.
I suppressed my excitement, saying calmly, “I
have no job, no income. The court won’t give
you to me.”
Jason’s father was shocked, “Nina, what do
you mean? Didn’t you get a job paying
$10,000 a month?”
I sneered inwardly.
I remembered office gossip from my previous
life.
“That manager, Donna, is ruthless. She helped
the ex–wife get a job and custody, killing two
birds with one stone. Then she married her
daughter’s father and started a clean, fresh
life. Amazing.”
Then I understood Donna was the HR
manager!
She had manipulated me!
For the sake of livelihood, I endured the
humiliation without confronting her.
But Donna burned bridges, firing me a few
days later, claiming my skills didn’t match the
position.
People thought I was a nepotism hire, and
they applauded.
At that moment, I was speechless and
heartbroken.
Now Jason was in front of me, ready to
attack.
“Even if you try tricks, I won’t go with you! No
way a nanny gets paid $10,000!”
I smiled, a chilling smile.
Due to his mother and father’s constant
influence, I, his mother, was the most useless
and worthless person in the family
L
Just a $3,000–a–month live–in nanny.
I grabbed his hand, flicked it away, smiling
faintly.
“Your dad’s joking. He and Donna are
financially secure. You’ll be fine with them.”
Jason was stunned.
“Donna is a great person, she’ll treat you like
her own!”
She understands your gaming, loves giving
you skins, praises your skills, and sees
potential, huh?
I didn’t bother arguing.
But Jason’s father panicked, pacing anxiously.
“Nina, you said waiting for Donna to have
another child would make the sibling dynamic
complicated. What’s the meaning of this?”
He still dreamed of escaping me and Jason,
even making me leave with nothing.
I sincerely apologized, “I was narrow–minded,
I’m sorry. I trust you’ll love Jason, and Donna
く
will treat him fairly.”
Jason’s father choked, while Jason looked
like I’d finally seen the light.
I smiled faintly, adding a few clauses to the
divorce agreement.
“Jason, I have proof of your affair with Donna.
I don’t want the house or car, I just want
$80,000.”
I didn’t have time to haggle; I just wanted
what I could get. Besides, the house wouldn’t
be worth much in a few years.
My decisiveness caught Jason’s father off
guard; he tried to use Jason to manipulate
- me.
I calmly said, “You claim to love Jason the
most, yet you haggle over property?”
That was what he had used to taunt me in my
past life.
I wanted to see how he’d maintain his refined
facade in front of Jason.

Jason nonchalantly chimed in, “Dad, give it to
her. You and Donna can earn more, but add a
clause
no visitation rights! Let’s just buy
some peace of mind!”
Jason’s father thought of something, and
smiled darkly. “Nina, I know you hate me, and
you want to spite me, I can give you the
money, but don’t back out.”
I rolled my eyes and signed the document.
“You!” Jason’s father instinctively reached for
my pen.
I sighed to Jason, “Jun, it seems your father
doesn’t value you that much.”
Jason’s face changed, he demanded, “Dad,
what do you mean? Get rid of her!”
Jason’s father frowned, hesitating, because
he didn’t want to give up the money.
After all, that was all the savings in our
family’s account.
Well, don’t blame me for targeting his
<
beloved.
“Oh, about that job, I think a Donna also
referred me for it…”
I spoke slowly, emphasizing each word.
“A stay–at–home mom with no work
experience, getting an offer as Head of
Design at He’s Group…I should ask the boss.
about it…”
Jason’s father’s face changed immediately.
“Okay! Let me think about it for a few days!”
I sneered, “What? Before marriage you need
to ask for her opinion? In a few days, my
conditions might change.”
Because of this, Jason’s father wouldn’t dare
call Donna for help. Plus, Jason was a terrible
teammate.
He agreed to my terms.
I was about to drag him to the courthouse,
but Donna called, saying she was bleeding.
Both father and son forgot about me and left
in a hurry.
Their backs looked rather flustered.
Hah, desperate?
I’m not.
This time, I don’t have Jason as a weakness.
Donna thought she could repeat history,
making me take Jason in exchange for their
happy family?
No way!
