After rebirth, I no longer persuaded my sister not to hit and run

Without hesitation, I replied, "I'm going back to work!"

"Great! I'm all for it! I never agreed with you quitting your job to become a housewife in the first place. Trent was lucky to marry you, but he didn't even know how to appreciate it!" she said, still fuming.

Back then, I had a monthly salary of twenty thousand dollars, while Trent earned only ten thousand dollars.

Besides, my family background was far more privileged than his.

I had foolishly believed his sweet talk, giving up my well-paying job to become a full-time housewife.

Now, looking back, I deeply regretted that decision.

After the wedding, I gradually lost myself, becoming consumed by household chores.

But now, with a second chance at life, I knew I had to seize the opportunity to live as my true self.

I rented a small apartment and began scouring job listings.

I decided to return to my previous career in human resources.

However, after being out of the workforce for so long, none of my job applications received a response.

While sending out resumes, I started brushing up on my professional knowledge and catching up on industry trends.

On the morning of the sixth, Trent and I became the first couple at the courthouse to finalize our divorce.

Before signing, he arrogantly tried to make me reconsider.

"You'd better think this through. Divorced women aren't worth much."

Before I could respond, Cheryl, who had come with me, grabbed her bag and threw it at him.

"Who are you talking about? Elissa is amazing, and plenty of people would jump at the chance to be with her.

"And you? You're nothing but trash, a pollutant wherever you go!"

I couldn't help but laugh.

Even the courthouse staff couldn't suppress their amusement.

Trent's face turned an ugly shade of livid. He hurriedly signed the papers and stormed off with the divorce documents in hand.

I carefully tucked away my divorce certificate, feeling a weight lift from my shoulders.

With that toxic man out of my life, good things started happening almost immediately.

Just as I stepped out of the civil affairs office, I received a call for a job interview.

I changed into professional attire and headed to the interview with a renewed sense of purpose.

But the moment I saw the interviewer, we both froze.
