Robert even brought his mistress and their illegitimate child home as if it were his right.

I tried to resist, but all I got in return were his punches and kicks.

My mother-in-law, who has a grandson, treated me like a servant at home and asked me to take care of the mistress.

If I didn't agree, Robert would beat me.

I called the police, but they just treated it as a family dispute and mediated.

Under the constant abuse from Robert, his mistress, his mother, and his sisters, I developed depression.

On the day of my baby's 100-day celebration, I spread my wings like a bird, seeking freedom.

After my death, my soul floated in the air, and only then did I realize that Robert had drugged me to take the house for his illegitimate child.

This was the reason for my tragic fate.

Robert successfully acquired my house and transferred ownership to his illegitimate child.

With my inheritance, Robert and his mistress lived happily ever after with their family.

Their illegitimate child excelled in his studies and used my father's inheritance to study abroad.

After returning, he fell in love with and married the daughter of his supervisor.

With his father-in-law's help, his career flourished.

Meanwhile, my daughter was raised by them, growing up spoiled and helpless, a shadow of her former self.

At a young age, she married and repeated my tragic cycle.

At some point, I found myself watching them live happily with a calm heart.

It wasn't that I didn't hate them.

If I could, I would have killed them all myself.

But more than anything, I hated myself.

I had so many chances to save both myself and my daughter, but I missed them all because of my weakness.

I couldn't reconcile that.

"Do you want a chance to start over?"

Without hesitation, I nodded.

My consciousness faded, and when I opened my eyes again, I heard my mother-in-law's voice persuading me. "Diana, you know you've given birth to a useless girl, and you won't be able to have more children. Our Smith family can't end like this. Andy is at least a boy. Just transfer the house to him."

Before I could react, I heard Robert's voice follow. "My mom is right. A girl doesn't need a house, but Andy is different. He is the only son in the third generation of the Smith family. Even though he is from another woman, after our daughter gets married, she'll need Andy to rely on."
