Chapter 1

Six years after losing my memory and being taken in by the Lawson family, my husband, Jack Lawson, brought his childhood sweetheart home.She was beautiful and understanding, and everyone liked her.Not only did Jack favor her, but our two children also called her "Mom" behind my back.Due to the extreme sadness, I actually got my memories back.Since the Lawson family felt that my presence was unnecessary, then I might as well go home and be the heiress of the powerful Milton family again.I packed the luggage that I was going to take home with me.Sophie Lawson came running into the room after coming back from the hospital.She was a little taken aback when she saw the bandage on my head. Then a disgusted look appeared on her face."Mom, you must apologize to Wendy. She just went to the parents' evening in your place, but you put drugged in her food, causing her to still be lying in the hospital right now. I won't see you as my mom anymore if you don't go apologize to her!"

"Is Mom leaving?"Ian Lawson came skipping over from behind Jack.He blinked at me, then started sobbing. "I don't have a mom anymore... Mom, don't go..."Sophie reached over and smacked her little brother on the head."She's gone. But Wendy will be our new mom."The moment Ian heard this, he immediately stopped crying. He wiped the tear stains off his face and looked up, breaking into a smile."Great! I like Wendy the most.""Wendy is gentler than Mom. She doesn't force me to study."Ian had always been mischievous and willful. I had taught him to be humble, honest, and kind.But ever since Wendy appeared, she insisted that children had their own nature and shouldn't be overly controlled by adults."Laura's way of teaching is too overbearing."She indulged Ian's mischief, and even when he bullied other children, she shamelessly used the Lawson family's power to force the victims' parents to apologize to Ian instead."Boys should be brave. If someone bullies you, you fight

Chapter 3

Six years had passed, and the elders had grown much older.The car accident back then had been secretly orchestrated by my family’s enemies. The mastermind behind it had already been sent to prison, but my family had believed I was dead."It’s good that you’re back! My precious daughter has finally returned!"A wave of bitterness surged in my heart.Over the past six years, I had almost completely lost myself.My identity had always been shifting between being Jack’s wife and the mother of two children. Caught between these roles, I hadn’t been myself for a long time, nor had I been valued by anyone in such a way.After I woke up, my family was still worried and called a private doctor to conduct a thorough medical examination. They confirmed that my body was fine.However, the whole ordeal had taken a serious toll on me mentally.The doctor also mentioned that ever since I had given birth, my body had never fully recovered. Coupled with years of anxiety, my physical condition

Chapter 4

Jack was different. He looked haggard.In the past, the reason I liked him was partly because he took great care of me when I was lost and suffering from amnesia, and partly because of his handsome appearance.But now, seeing him again, he had an unshaven face and wore a tie that did not match his suit at all.His eyes were filled with exhaustion. It seemed that he had not been doing well these days.Ian had grown taller this past year and looked more and more like his father.He grabbed my hand, his eyes brimming with tears."Mom, we misunderstood you. Wendy is the bad woman. She has her own baby now and doesn't treat us well at all. She scolds us every day. Dad often argues with her because of us. He even said that if you were still around, everything would be better, because only you truly care about us."Jack knew that I had always put a lot of effort into Ian's education and quickly nodded in agreement.But he still cared about his pride and did not say anything, only lett

Jack was hateful, but Wendy was the one who truly wanted me dead.I had my people investigate Wendy, and the deeper they dug, the more shocking the findings became.I contacted Wendy and arranged a meeting with her.At first, she was hesitant and too afraid to see me. So, I confronted her over the phone."If you refuse to meet me, then I'll just tell Jack your secrets."Her voice on the other end of the line was filled with caution. "Don't try to scare me.""Do you not believe me? Or do you have too many secrets to even know which ones I've uncovered? Is it the fact that you used to work as a hostess in a nightclub? That you lied to Jack about having kidney failure? Or that the child you gave birth to isn't even his?"There was a long silence on the other end before she finally spoke, her voice hoarse. "Where do you want to meet?"I arranged to meet her at the Lawson family’s house. Early in the morning, Wendy sent Jack, the two ungrateful little brats, and all the servants awa

"Why do you get to have everyone's love? You became a wealthy heiress, while I turned into a despised piece of trash? It's not fair! This is not fair!"I was startled, and Jack hurried to calm her down."Calm down, Wendy! We can talk things through!""I have nothing left, so I'll make sure you all die with me!"Wendy was too hysterical to listen to anything.The two children cried loudly in fear. Sophie looked at me with tearful eyes."Mom, save me! I'm scared!"Ian was completely frozen in terror. Tears streamed down his face, but he couldn't say a single word."Wendy, you are a mother too. If you die, what will happen to your child?" I asked coldly.My words seemed to strike her. She hesitated for a moment.Seeing the opportunity, Jack rushed forward and pulled the two children away from her grasp.Wendy was startled by his sudden move and started struggling.I quickly pulled the children to my side and hid them away while calling the police.Suddenly, the sound of shatt
