Daughter Died On Mother's Day, Husband Traveled with Lover

I cried so hard that I almost passed out. "Today is Mother's Day. I should be receiving a gift from my daughter, not the news of her death ..."

In the end, it was the relatives who came after hearing the news and took me back. As for my husband, Belle's biological father, he only arrived at her funeral and even then, he was late.

I was drowning in tears, but Jude only squeezed out two tears in front of others. Once the guests left, he immediately changed his expression and demanded the funeral money from me.

He said, "Now that Belle is dead, you don't need that money anymore. Hand it over so I can use it for something important."

"Something important? What could you possibly be doing that would require five hundred thousand dollar? Belle was your own daughter! Aren't you even a little bit sad about her death?" I grabbed Jude by the collar and pulled out his phone, starting to go through his transaction history.

Jude didn't even bother to hide it, his face showing complete indifference. It turned out that he had secretly opened a new bank account long ago and transferred all our assets.

While I was running around for our daughter, only allowing myself to nibble on a piece of bread each day, he was using that money to buy designer bags for Margerie, taking her on trips to boost her performance.

At the funeral, the gold bracelet on Linda's wrist was more dazzling than the fake tears on her face.

I knew he came from a single-parent family and I had lost my parents early on, so I never stopped him from being filial to Linda. But I never imagined that under the guise of awakening filial piety, Jude would squander Belle's life-saving money.

What were my daughter and I to them while the three of them lived in a bliss?

I rushed over, intending to confront Jude, but he shoved me off the balcony. As I fell to the ground, his devilish words still echoed in my ears, "Don't worry, everyone will think you committed suicide out of grief. Only with you and that worthless girl dead can I make room for my son and lover."

My skull fractured, blood pooling around me. In my final moments, I stared wide-eyed at the sky.

I prayed that the universe would open its eyes and ensure that those who did evil would pay with their lives.

***

Now, it seems that the universe heard my desperate cries and granted me a chance to start over. How could I possibly let those who caused the death of my daughter and me go unpunished?

Seeing that I didn't respond, Jude continued to play the victim and said, "I'll go and cancel the travel package tomorrow. Rosie, you have to understand, I'm working so hard for you and our daughter."

I let out a cold laugh. In my previous life, I was too foolish, deceived by his sweet talk, which ultimately cost me and Belle our lives. In this life, I will make sure they all suffer double the pain I endured.

I told him, "If you want to come home, hand over every penny you owe me."

Jude didn't expect me to be so hard to fool anymore and a flash of anger crossed his eyes. But then he quickly remembered the house under my name, worth millions and forced a smile.

Somehow, by that evening, Jude managed to scrape together five hundred thousand dollar and handed it over to me.

I quickly calculated, the twenty thousand dollar for the designer bag, thirty thousand for the gold bracelet and other miscellaneous expenses, Jude had likely squandered around one hundred fifty thousand dollar.

Margerie definitely wouldn't return the money she received, so this five-hundred thousand dollar was probably something Jude had to scrape together desperately.

I didn't care how he managed to fill that hole, Belle's life-saving money could not be short by even a cent. "There's also the thirty-eight thousand dollar luxury seven-day trip," I reminded him.

Jude gritted his teeth and promised to cancel it the next day. Taking advantage of the time after I had kicked Jude out, I installed hidden cameras all over the house.

That night, I sent a message to my best friend, Susan Green, asking her for a favor. The next day, while I was taking care of Belle in the hospital, I suddenly received a video from Susan.

When I opened it, it showed Jude at the travel agency, trying to get a refund. In the video, a large crowd surrounded Jude and Margerie, pointing and gossiping.

Susan's voice was loud and clear, "Your daughter is lying in the hospital and you're signing up for a luxury trip? Margerie, how shameless can you be? Divorced and now seducing a married man!"

Jude tried to flee but was blocked by the crowd.

"So, you're abandoning your wife and child to rekindle your old flame with your high school sweetheart? If I hadn't run into you today, Rosie might have continued to be deceived by you. I'm going to tell Rosie right now so she knows exactly what kind of person you are," Susan yelled angrily.

Everyone around was condemning Jude and Margerie.

Some of Margerie's colleagues mentioned that she was always flirting with clients and Jude, who frequently brought her tea and flowers, turned out to be a married man.

Susan also told me that she deliberately chose a busy time to go there, causing a big scene. Since Margerie already had a bad reputation, she was fired on the spot.

Watching the video, I couldn't help but laugh.
