Last Life, He Killed Me for Her. This Life, I’ll Sell Him the Ticket Chapter 03
His eyes constricted, and he blurted out his refusal.
“Impossible.”
“You want a divorce over some money? What do you think marriage is?”
Seeing this, Wendy quickly threw herself at my feet.
“I’m sorry, Lana. If you’re angry, take it out on me. Don’t use divorce to make things hard for Evan.”
Evan hurried over to pull her up, but she made an even bigger show of begging.
“Even if I die here today, I have to earn Lana’s forgiveness.”
When Evan saw that I had no intention of backing down, he pulled her into his arms and glared at me.
“Fine. Divorce it is, you cold-blooded, vicious woman.”
“Do you really think you and that burden of a mother of yours will have any kind of good life after the divorce?”
I had already seen him at his worst, so I simply took out the divorce agreement and told him to sign it.
He held the pen, his hand trembling slightly.
“What’s wrong? Can’t bear to lose me? Then Wendy can forget about that transfer clearance.”
The moment I finished speaking, he signed it quickly and roared in frustration.
“Lana, you ungrateful daughter. Just wait until everyone back home shames your mother for raising you after this divorce.”
My eyes reddened. I immediately grabbed a broom and chased them out.
In my last life, Evan had reported my mother to get revenge on me. He even used his connections to have her sent to the most isolated disciplinary farm camp.
The place reeked, and the roof leaked whenever the wind blew or it rained. My mother had already been weak, and within days, she fell ill.
Evan not only refused to let anyone bring her medicine, but also cut off her water and food.
In the end, my mother froze to death, starving and sick.
Yet he only smiled with open mockery and said, “If you hadn’t given birth to that monster, my Wendy would never have died.”
“Now go atone for my Wendy’s death.”
After I chased them out, I hurried to hand the divorce agreement to the base Inspector General. Then I submitted my transfer order for a job in Santa Clara Valley.
In this life, I would not give up a bright future for Evan.
Santa Clara Valley was still only a rural backwater then, but in a few years, it would develop at a shocking speed.
I quickly called my mother.
“Mom, my return to the city will be delayed for a while. Stay home and wait for me. I’ll come get you in a few days.”
“Okay. Take care of yourself. I’ve also submitted my research report, so don’t worry. I’ll help you too.”
She agreed at once, and only then did I let out a breath of relief and return to my room to pack.
After getting another chance at life, I could finally change the tragic ending of my last life.
With that thought, I fell asleep happily.
The next morning, before I had even woken up, the door was pushed open.
I jolted awake. Before I could fully come to my senses, I heard the settlement supervisor say, “Your mother has passed away.”
