Everything’s Better Without You Chapter 12
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Hazel was now four years old.Within my means, I gave her the best of everything, making up for the regrets of my own childhood.My so-called younger brother, who had no blood relation to me, became addicted to gambling. My uncle also lost everything trying to cover his debts.Mom asked me for money, and I calmly said, "I have no money."She took me to court, demanding a lump sum payment for all the child support she had spent on me before I turned 18. She didn't get what she wanted.Meanwhile, Eli was released from prison. When he found out that Beatrix had already run away, he turned back to look for me.Somehow, he had gotten a hold of my address. When I saw him again, he looked far older, probably worn down by life. He was holding the child he had with Beatrix. Although he was still in his 20s, he looked like a man in his mid-30s."Keri, can we start over?" His tone had no trace of sincerity, no genuine plea.After everything that ha

"Attention, please!" I shouted.I took a sip of water to clear my throat and spoke at an unhurried pace. "Apologies for disturbing your meal. This lovely lady here is talking about Eli Daugherty, my husband. Oh, wait, I mean, ex-husband."She was the mistress who came between our marriage. Back when I still lived in that house, she waltzed in with her luggage like she owned the place. Funny enough, I even ended up taking care of her for a while."I deliberately paused, letting the suspense build. The customers leaned in, waiting for me to continue.Beatrix tried to stand up and slip away, but I pushed her back into the chair and smiled warmly. "Bix, you're pregnant. Why don't you take a seat?"She struggled to break free, but I held her down.Now that everyone knew that she was the mistress, they looked at her with eyes filled with contempt.I pretended to wipe away tears and added, "When I left with my daughter, Eli didn't give us a single cent. And after I left, dear Beatrix h

Other than this house, Eli had no savings. Now that half of it belonged to me, the only option was to auction it off and give me my share.Afraid that Beatrix would take the money and leave before he got out of prison, he handed everything over to his father. Andrew happily took the money, sent Amy to a cheap nursing home, divorced her, and ran off with Silvia.Beatrix, the newlywed wife, didn't get a single cent.The next day, I was swamped with work at the restaurant. Beatrix, looking utterly exhausted, stumbled in. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hair a mess, and her once-polished nails chipped beyond recognition.The moment she entered, she dropped to her knees with a thud, with tears streaming down her face.She sobbed, "Keri, I asked around. This restaurant is yours. I just married Eli, and you personally sent him to jail. Please, have mercy on me. The money to organize our wedding reception and the wedding gifts—it was all borrowed from relatives."I'm still pregnant with his

Amy struggled to sit up as she locked her wrinkled eyes onto me with a fierce glare. It was as if she wanted to tear me apart and swallow me whole.No matter how much she tried, though, she couldn't get up.I laughed loudly and said, "Why don't you get your new daughter-in-law to serve you?"Ever since Amy returned from the hospital, Beatrix had often called her a burden right to her face. At first, Eli would say a few words to stop her, but eventually, he didn't bother.Maybe, deep down, he also believed that his mother was a burden.Amy lay on the bed with wide eyes, looking absolutely pitiful.I sneered. "So when it happens to you, you suddenly can't take it, can you?"She shut her eyes in despair. I put the cup back on the bedside table, clapped my hands satisfactorily, and walked out.The lawyer had already wrapped up the discussion. Beatrix sat on the couch as if life had drained from her."Ms. Bass, you have been granted custody of Hazel Daugherty," the lawyer said. "Th
