Money Can't Buy Back a Dead Heart Chapter 9
"But I can't deny that it was you, Peter, who gave Mom three more years of life," I added.In the final days of Mom's life, I had hated Peter and Cara so much that I wished I could die. I wanted nothing more than to stab them both to death or run them over with a car.But Mom reached out her hand and covered my eyes with great difficulty, saying, "What a pity. We said we'd see the Wishing Wall and take a nice set of photos together, but neither of them came true. Ada, you will go on living happily, right?"In that moment, I became the person I hated the most.I hated myself for being so incapable, for needing to rely on what others gave me just to extend Mom's life.I also hated that I didn't take Professor Shor's advice to spend more time with Mom in her final days or to take her on a trip across the country.But what I hated most was that my own obstinacy and refusal to let Mom go kept her painfully imprisoned in that cramped hospital room, bound to that bed for three years.E

Peter continued giving me random gifts until the data collection finally wrapped up, and he showed up beaming, a gift box in hand."You'll definitely like the gift this time," he said.I didn't let him open it and got straight to the point, "It's a Chanel bag, isn't it?"Peter's eyes lit up with delight. "How did you know?""Because I've seen it on Cara's Instagram. She really likes flashy, impractical things like glittering rings set with large jewels, art supplies ground from rare and precious minerals, and tulips flown in from abroad."With every word I spoke, Peter's face grew paler.He probably never realized that he had been using things another woman liked to win me over.At this point, I felt a bit puzzled."As you can see, you remember Cara's preferences so clearly. So, wouldn't it be nice to just go through with the divorce and marry her?"Without a moment's thought, Peter replied, "She doesn't even come from a respectable background. She just likes my money, so how

Indeed, I did love Peter once, back when he treated me with tenderness.But his love was like a bubble under the sun—beautiful on the surface, yet vanishing before it could even be felt."You think everyone should fall in line and accommodate you. But on what grounds? It's not like I'm your mother! I don't need you to do anything. All I want is to divorce you!"Peter was utterly devastated, all color draining from his face. He staggered a step and grabbed hold of me."Can't you at least give me a chance to make it right?" he pleaded. "Ada, you can't do this. Even criminals get a second hearing. You can't reduce it to a single verdict."I firmly pulled my hand out of his grasp and said quietly, "Peter, I've already given you plenty of chances."Yet, he never treasured them.I knew all too well how stubborn Peter could be, and that getting a divorce from him would be a long, drawn-out battle.I assumed this draining standoff would be put on hold until we returned. But not long af

"Why wasn't I told a single thing about this?" Peter demanded.Cory was full of hesitation, as if it were too embarrassing to say."I did report it to you at the time. But you said, 'When I'm in a good mood, I don't want to hear a single thing about Ada."In an instant, Peter remembered what he had been doing at the time.He had arranged 52 thousand drones to perform above the television station, all just to cheer Cara up, who had been frightened when I had cornered and berated her at the company.He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and a headache began to set in.Why had I, who had always been so compliant, suddenly gone to the company to cause such a huge scene back then?I seemed to have said that Cara was deliberately stalling the approval process and refusing to give me money.Thinking of this, Peter abruptly turned to look at the woman beside him, whose face was full of concern.Startled, Cara put on a helpless, pitiful expression and explained, "Peter, I didn't m

Professor Shor frowned imperceptibly. "What? Don't tell me you've gotten too used to the good life of a wealthy wife and can't handle the hardships we working folks have to put up with?"With tears still clinging to my cheeks, I smiled from the bottom of my heart."I can handle it, Professor Shor. For myself, I'm willing to put up with any hardship."Professor Shor smiled with genuine warmth and immediately set things in motion with swift efficiency."Then hurry up and contact the team right away. Work isn't some soap opera. You don't get to sit around feeling sorry for yourself."Under her arrangements, I soon embarked on the work journey. At first, I struggled to adjust. But as time went on, the knowledge and operation procedures etched deep in my soul began to surface from the recesses of my mind, and I grew more and more adept.The stern and taciturn team leader, Riley Becker, gave me a thumbs-up."At first, I was worried you'd be too soft. But now, I can see that it's true

The fact that Peter agreed to Cara's suggestion so casually was simply proof that he didn't care about me.This meant that if I accepted his arrangements now and went back to being his wife, Cara would continue to appear in our lives going forward."I don't want a single thing. All I want is to end this marriage."It dawned on Peter that I wasn't just throwing a tantrum. Not only was I unwilling to accept his overtures, but I was also hell-bent on getting a divorce.The irritation in his chest boiled over into anger in an instant."Ada, have you forgotten our agreement? If you divorce me, you won't get a single cent! And what about your family's business? Your mom's treatment? Do you honestly believe that without me, your stepfather, Eric Patton—who's already got himself a new flame—would bother to take care of your mom?"Of course he wouldn't.I knew perfectly well that if it weren't for that ungrateful Eric turning his back on Mom and refusing to care for her, leaving me despe
