Life's Reboot: Unleashing New Possibilities

A month passed, and Rupert and Janice hadn't called very often.

Eliseo's call came through.

He called out, "Hello, Mom."

I paused, a bit surprised.

He continued, "You didn't think I was calling you, did you? You didn't come to pick me up, so Cara did. I might have a new mom soon."

He sounded very smug.

I replied, "Yes, I didn't pick you up. For over ten years, who had been the one taking you to school."

Janice grabbed the phone.

She snapped, "Saundra, you've been living it up in the hospital this month, doing nothing. Recently, it's been Cara helping with the housework. Don't you have any shame? Don't you know what you should be doing?"

I shot back, "You all can be so shameless gathering together. How could I compare?"

Rupert's voice came through.

He barked, "Saundra, I need you to get back here quickly. My mom is working hard alone. Don't keep being pretentious and causing trouble."

They wanted me to go back and serve them.

I sneered, "Isn't there already a free nanny? Why are you still dissatisfied?"

"Saundra, if you're busy, that's fine. I don't mind taking care of Rupert and Janice for a while longer," Cara Ware chimed in.

Rupert and Janice praised her for being understanding.

I felt a surge of nausea and didn't have a chance to speak before the call ended.

I was quite annoyed.

Suddenly, the school principal called, saying that Eliseo had gotten into a fight at school and that the parents of the other child were asking for compensation.

In my previous life, Eliseo was always bullying classmates at school.

It was always me rushing to clean up the mess, apologizing, and being scolded by Rupert for asking for money all day long.

Hadn't Eliseo mentioned a new mom?

I replied, "Madam, I'm not his mother anymore. This is his new mother's phone number."

This time, I decided not to interfere, giving the class principal the mistress' number and home address.

After doing all that, I grabbed a pack of sunflower seeds and lay down on the sofa.

I opened my phone, having installed a security camera at home before leaving, and now I was just waiting to watch the show.

Sure enough, not long after, the parents of the child Eliseo had hit, along with a few big men, showed up at the door.

At first, Rupert protected our son, saying that if they couldn't win, they should leave.

Those men beat him up.

Rupert, like a deflated balloon, covered his face and hung his head low. Janice also looked embarrassed.

Cara was so frightened by the scene that she ran away, claiming that she had nothing to do with this family.

Eliseo was dragged over, stuttering as he apologized.

I felt very relieved after watching the scene.

The next day, I prepared to go to the branch office. When Opal found out, she took me to the business district.

She said, "Saundra, you've lost a lot of weight and look much better. Look at your face, you're glowing."

Hearing Opal's praise, I was very happy. As long as I worked hard to change, there would be results.

Opal took me to buy suitable formal wear and brought me new client information.

I felt a warmth in my heart.

Although we were competitors, she was genuinely kind to me.

She added, "By the way, a resource expert from the headquarters is coming to the branch office. Try to hang in there and don't let them push you out before they even arrive."

I smiled and nodded, thanking Opal for her kindness.

The next day, I went to the branch office's HR department to complete the handover.

There was a girl in her early twenties, tall and stylish, also going through a handover process.

She glanced at my resume.

She muttered, "40 years old, hasn't worked in 12 years, and still coming to the Sunray?"

The HR staff member nodded and bowed.

She replied, "She was recommended by Opal. She might be gone after a few months."

The girl's disdain grew. "Aged resource from connections? Sunray should address this trend. Not just anyone should be able to come in."

I gritted my teeth, thinking she must be the resource expert Opal mentioned.

Before I achieved any results, I indeed had no room to argue.

During this time, all the staff treated me coldly.

When I asked for some information, they were indifferent. Fortunately, Opal had prepared some materials for me in advance.

And that resource expert frequently came to find fault. I made sure she felt like punching a pillow, with no issues to pick apart.

I put all my energy into running the business and acquiring clients, working non-stop.

The effort from the past month paid off. I signed several large contracts with various companies.
