Chapter 3

As soon as I grasped the door handle, Sofia rushed over, grabbed my arm, and said in a harsh tone, "Edison is still having a fever, what are you going to do?"

I looked at her in disbelief, and I had to admit that I was amused when she asked me that. But I wanted to embarrass her, so I pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I have a package arrived, and it will expire if I don't pick it up!"

Sofia grabbed my hand and tried to pull it back, but she failed. She said in anger, "What does your package have to do with me? Edison is now..."

Before she could finish, I shook her hand off. She was not prepared and almost fell to the ground, holding onto the coffee table beside her, and staring at me in shock.

"I don't care about Edison at all! Huh? It's not me who has a fever anyway. I think it's you who is having a fever, and your brain had been burned before his."

Indeed, in my previous life, I was busy with work and had little contact with her. I didn't think carefully about her true side before, so when we met, I always showed my respect to her because she was my sister-in-law.

But after rebirth, I would never make this mistake again.

"You are so rude! How dare you talk to me like that? I am your sister-in-law!"

Sofia pointed at my nose and started to scold me, but surprisingly, Mary didn't scold me. In the past, whenever Sofia expressed dissatisfaction with me, Mary would scold me along with her. In comparison, I think Sofia was more like Mary's daughter.

I saw Mary wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand. Mary pulled Sofia from behind to stop her vicious curses, then whispered a few words in Sofia's ear. Sofia's expression eased and she looked at me differently.

"Mia, come back early in the evening."

I looked at them both with some disgust, turned around, and left without looking back.

When I closed the door, I heard their plan.

"Mom, is what you just said true? She bought a house for Edward in the city?"

"Of course, I won't lie to you. When the house is transferred to Edward, I'll ask her to give up the company to Edward. In the future, Edison will be able to study in the city!"

"Great! Mom, you are so thoughtful, but will Mia agree?]

"Does she dare to disagree? If she disagrees, I'll tie her up and force her to stay in the village. There are so many people in the village who haven't found a wife yet. Just force her to marry someone. She won't be able to run away no matter how."

"Mom, you are so awesome!"

"Of course."

Their voices were loud and harsh. It was a hot summer day, and there was no wind outside, but I felt like I was falling into an icy cave.

Why?

I held the phone tightly, feeling extremely angry, and I no longer had any feelings for them.

Walking out, I breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the home that had lived in for more than a decade, and made a phone call.

"Didn't you go out to travel? Why do you suddenly share your life with me?"

When I heard her voice, my originally irritable mood improved a lot. She was my rich college roommate Stella Parker, and also my best friend who helped me when I started my business.

"Let's get down to business first, Stella. You don't need to help me look at the house or ask someone to help my nephew get a chance to study at the primary school I originally liked."

"Oh?", she sat up.

I told her everything that had happened in my family during this period, all the evil things Mary, Edward, and Sofia had done, and even what happened in my previous life.

After that, she was silent for a long time and finally spoke.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
