My Wife Killed My Daughter and I Over Plastic Surgery

“Trust me this time, honey! This time is different.” My wife Chloe Rinn’s voice echoed through the quiet living room.When she went shopping today, her best friend had recommended her a new plastic surgery clinic. Apparently, the clinic had headhunted a famous plastic surgeon from Korea with the offer of a high salary. The surgeon was very skilled and had many celebrities on his resume.Since they were just starting out, the clinic only charged thirty thousand dollars for a full-face makeover.“Doing a large-scale surgery is too risky! You may lose your facial functions or even your life…” Chloe interrupted me before I could finish that sentence. “Don't say such things! It’s bad luck. Besides, the doctor is really skilled. Celebrities lined up for an appointment with him.”She could not be convinced otherwise. All she could think of was how beautiful she would look after the surgery. “Fine. If you really want to go, I'll transfer the money after I get my salary in a few days.”

In my previous life, Chloe pretended to give up after I persuaded her. That night, she invited Rachel to a bar, planning to swindle some men there and earn the money she needed for the surgery. However, her victim's wife caught her in the act.By the time I got there, the fight had been over. Chloe sat on the bed, her expression twisted in agony. Her eyes were red and there were scratches on her face. She sobbed at me, “Honey, believe me, the wine was drugged! I just went drinking for a change of mood. I have no idea what happened after I drank the wine…“Forgive me this time, please? If you don't believe me, you can test the wine for drugs.”She swore on her life. That time, I had asked my friend for a favor and tested the wine overnight. As expected, the results showed there were sleeping pills in the wine.Of course I forgave her after that. Even up till my death, I never once considered she was the one who put the pills there to drug the man.In my previous life, I even felt b

When I got home, Ellie was still asleep. About half an hour later, Chloe opened the door and came in quietly.“I agree to the divorce, but only if you give me a hundred thousand dollars. That's non-negotiable.”I stealthily packed Ellie’s bag for tomorrow, saying calmly, “I don't have a hundred thousand dollars. I can give you fifty at most.”Chloe was not happy with that result, but there was nothing she could do. She knew our financial situation. She knew that my salary had been spent on Ellie’s school fees and her plastic surgeries. After her father's company collapsed, the authorities swooped in and confiscated his assets. He and his wife ran abroad, leaving Chloe behind. She raised her voice to embolden herself. “Fine, then I'll sign the papers after I receive the money tomorrow. Also, you can't stop me whenever I want to see Ellie from now on.”I scoffed inwardly. She was not that attached to Ellie; she just wanted to keep Ellie as leverage over me.Once I agreed to her

“Ellie, do you want to come live with me from now on?” I rubbed her head and asked quietly as we walked toward the car.Ellie blinked and then lowered her head dejectedly. “Are you and Mommy splitting up? Mark in my class only has his dad, and now he has a new mom. Since then, he’s never had three square meals a day! I don't want to end up like that.”I looked at the long line of cars in front of the school, saying solemnly, “Mommy and Daddy won't live together anymore, but we still love you. I promise I won't give you a new mom. I'll work hard every day to earn enough money so I can buy you tasty food and pretty dresses.”Only then did Ellie’s face break into a smile. “Then will people still call me a copycat's daughter from now on?”I shook my head. “Shall we transfer schools next semester?”The hospital had offered to send me to another branch, but I never said yes because Chloe refused to leave. Now, I could consider moving sooner than later.The next time I met Chloe was hal

After I got home that day, I saw Ellie watching Chloe's videos on her phone. “Daddy, Mommy’s changed.” She turned around and spoke to me sweetly as soon as she heard me open the door. I glanced at the phone. There were two similar faces on the lit-up screen, chatting away. It was Chloe and the healthy living influencer she copied. “The truth is we've always been good friends. She asked me before she made those videos copying mine.“I believe everyone has the right to become pretty. Every girl wants to look their best, after all!“Now she's gotten rid of her useless ex and made a career for herself! I couldn't be happier for her!”The influencer even applauded her. Chloe seemed quite moved, her eyes red as though she was about to cry. She sobbed as she thanked the viewers and followers who showered her with gifts. I almost burst out laughing. “Ellie, would you like it if someone copied you?”Ellie tilted her head and gave it some thought before saying decisively, “No, not at
