After my mother became paralyzed, she asked me to take care of her.

And she promised to leave her houses and savings to me after her death.

I believed her and quit my job to become her fulltime care worker.

But as soon as she died, my brother Jason Moore took the will and said that her savings and the houses were his.

During the argument, Jason pushed me down the stairs.

After rebirth, I smiled coldly, "Whoever you are, I won't take care of you anymore!"

"Rita Moore, I am counting on you from now on. You can't ignore me."

It was my mother's turn to suffer!

In my previous life, after my mother became paralyzed, she called me to her bedside, held my hand with tears in her eyes, and begged me to take care of her for the rest of her life.

Seeing that I was hesitant, she promised that she would give me her savings and the houses after her death.

I agreed!

In order to take better care of her, I even quit my job and became her fulltime care worker.

I scrubbed her, emptied her bed pan, and bought all kinds of nutritional supplements for her.

Under my care, she lived for five years, even though she was originally given only three years to live.

It was only after she died that I realized that it was an elaborate scam!

She had already made a will that after her death, all her property would be inherited by Jason.

All I had was her verbal promise, which was not counted.

I was unwilling to be fooled by them like that, so I went to Jason to argue with him, but he pushed me down the stairs and I died on the spot.

When I opened my eyes again and saw the old yet shrewd face in front of me, I felt a surge of hatred rising to the top of my head.

Why didn't I see the calculation in her eyes in my previous life?

So when she made the same request as in her previous life, I sneered, "You never raised me in the past twenty years, and now you ask me to take care of you. How can you be so shameless?

"Don't you have a precious son? Go find him."

Chapter 2 Preview

When I was less than a year old, my father died in a car accident.

The man who hit him to death was a wealthy businessman.

The wealthy businessman had always valued his reputation the most, and seeing how hard it was for my mother to raise me and Jason, he compensated us with two million dollars and a 2,153squarefoot house.

Seeing so much money, my mother immediately signed the reconciliation agreement happily.

But after getting the money, she threw me to my grandmother.

She thought I was a useless girl and was determined to pay more attention to Jason.

I was raised by my grandmother, and my mother never paid child support.

Since I was a child, I had lived with my grandmother in an old and shabby house, eating white bread and potatoes.

My mom lived in the big house with Jason, eating steak and sandwiches.

Later, when I was old enough to go to school, she refused to pay my tuition, so my grandmother had to go everywhere to borrow money.

In order to support my schooling, my grandmother, who was in her 60s, still did farm work every day. She was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.

She also did some laundry for others and worked with me until late at night every day.

Although it was hard, it was the most unforgettable time in my life.

Later, when I went to college, my grandmother's health was failing.

After her death, I worked parttime to complete my studies.

After graduation, I found a good job and also had a side business, and my life was very comfortable.

Just then, my mother suddenly came to the door!

She was paralyzed. Jason considered her a burden and was unwilling to take care of her, so he came up with a mean trick.

He asked my mother to use the inheritance as bait to get me to take care of her for the rest of her life.

But she had made a will beforehand, stating that everything she had would belong to Jason after her death.

Not only did Jason not have to take care of her, but her property also would belong to him after her death.

He was such a shameless bastard.

It was what Jason told me in person when I questioned him in my previous life.

But they didn't know that I was really happy when my mother came to see me.

I was willing to take care of her not for her property.

I had spent far more time and money on her than she could give me.

What I cared about was my mother's company.

It was what I wanted most in my life but never got.

But even my mother thought I took care of her for her property.

She never treated me as her daughter, but as a hired care worker. Even during the five years she lived with me, she never gave me a penny, but ordered me around as if it was her right, and threatened me with her legacy if she was not happy with me.

I endured all of that.

Because she was a patient and only had a few years left to live, I wanted her to feel more comfortable in her last days.

But she teamed up with Jason and fooled me.

My sacrifices and efforts had become a joke.

My mother had never seen me like that.

I was used to trying to please her in the hope of getting a little attention and love from her.

"Rita, I have let you down before. I know I was wrong. I really need you now.

"Of course, I won't let you take care of me for nothing. When I die, all my legacy will belong to you. Will you forgive me?"

In her expectant eyes, I shook my head resolutely, "No! Who the hell cares about your property? You have the nerve to show them off. Aren't you ashamed?"

After being brushed aside by me several times, my mother's face turned cold, "How can you talk like that? I am your mother, and it is your responsibility to take care of me."

She wanted to put pressure on me by using her identity as my mother.

She was so shameless!

"Now that you know you are my mother, where were you when I needed you?"

From childhood to adulthood, she only had Jason in her heart.

Even though Jason had never come to see her in those five years, she had always talked about him.

At that time, Jason, who had been listening outside the door, rushed in.

"That's enough, Rita! Do you still have a conscience? Mom is already like this. Why don't you just agree to her? Do you want to make her mad to death?"

I sneered, "If you are filial, you can take care of her!"

He choked.

"Don't change the subject. I'm different from you. I have a child to raise. You, as a daughter, are more caring than me as a son. And you're not married, so you're the most suitable person to take care of her."

"That's right! You are my daughter. You must take care of me, otherwise... I will sue you in court."

I was disgusted by their shamelessness.

Unable to pressure me morally, they tried to force me with the law.

But I wasn't scared.

"Okay, go ahead and sue me. You abandoned me when I was young. Now you are old and in poor health, so you want me to take care of you. I want to see how the law will judge you."

At worst, I could pay her alimony according to the legal standards.

She wanted me to be the sucker like I was in my previous life. No way!

But I didn't expect them to be so shameless!

Chapter 4 Preview

Jason was determined to throw the burden on me.

Without even telling me in advance, he dropped my mother off downstairs of my house early in the morning.

Although it was April, the morning wind was very cold. My mother was sitting in a wheelchair, crying and snoting.

The neighbors were very kind. Feeling sorry for her, they covered her with a quilt and gave her hot water.

My mother cried and told them how unfilial I was.

They all had children, so when they heard that, they were so angry that they came to knock on my door in groups, with disapproval written on their faces.

Some old women were so angry that their eyebrows were squinted and their eyes were raised.

"Young lady, how can you be so heartless? No matter how many faults your mother has, you can't just leave her downstairs and ignore her. How cold it is. Why don't you bring her up here quickly?"

"That's it. You will get old one day too. Do you want your children to treat you like this in the future?"

At first, I had no idea what was going on.

It wasn't until I looked down the window that I understood.

It was an attempt to use public opinion to force me to compromise.

They really underestimated me.

I had died once, so how could I care about other people's opinions?

But I didn't expect that someone would post the video of that day online.

In the video, my mother's lips turned purple from the cold and her eyes were filled with tears, looking so pitiful.

If I wasn't the person involved, I would have been fooled by her aggrieved look.

Public opinion was overwhelmingly criticizing me.

[Her daughter is too vicious and actually did such a thing. So wicked.]

[Such a wicked girl. She even abandoned her own mother.]

[This is murder in disguise! Her mom can sue her in court.]

[Poor old woman, you can come to my house to eat meals.]

[Who has the old woman's contact information? I want to send her some nourishment.]

In the comment section, apart from scolding me, there were also kindhearted people asking how to donate to her.

It was far beyond Jason's expectations.

Chapter 5 Preview

Jason originally just wanted to use outsiders to force me to take care of my mother as they wished, but he didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

He didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Soon he went live, "Hello everyone, I am the son of the old woman in the video. I didn't know my sister would do such a cruel thing.

"We are a singleparent family. My mom worked hard to raise us. Now that my sister has grown up, she despises her because she is paralyzed and useless. She even threw her out and left her alone."

Jason won everyone's sympathy with just a few words.

The barrage of comments was all scolding me for being snobbish and saying that I should never have been born in the first place.

The live audience kept sending him gifts.

Of course, there were some audiences who noticed a problem.

After a while, a different opinion appeared, questioning why he, as a son, didn't take care of his mother.

Jason's face froze, and he explained, "After all, I am a man, so it is not convenient for me to take care of my mother. She really missed her daughter and wanted to live with her for a while. But my sister completely ignored her and drove her out. I feel ashamed to have such a sister.

"I can assure you here that I will never let my mother live on the streets."

As soon as he finished speaking, netizens were so moved that they sent him gifts again and praised him as a filial son.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

A filial son?

He was just a rebellious son!

After my mom got my dad's settlement money, she spent most of it on Jason.

Unexpectedly, he didn't study hard and was lazy, so he didn't even get into university and could barely go to a technical school.

After graduating from the technical school, he was too pretentious to work for others, so he invested all my mother's money in business.

Even two million dollars was not enough for him to spend.

My mother didn't have much cash on hand now. The only valuable things were the 2,153squarefoot house and a small bungalow in her hometown.

If my mother hadn't refused to agree, Jason would have sold the two houses to raise money for business.

After he got married, his family expenses were all supported by my mother and his wife, and he spent every day doing nothing.

But ever since my mother fell, not only could she not earn money, she had also been bedridden and needed someone to take care of her. The cost of her treatment and medication was also a considerable expense.

Jason and his wife naturally didn't want to have another burden in the family, so they set their sights on me.

In my previous life, I took care of her for the sake of motherdaughter relationship, but ended up like that.

Whoever she was now, I wouldn't care anymore!

But Jason didn't intend to let me off!

Chapter 6 Preview

Jason earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for his first live broadcast.

He was so happy that he dragged my mother to live broadcast every day to gain sympathy.

Many neighbors witnessed what happened that day, so they had been upset with me since then.

Some of extreme people believed what Jason said in his live broadcast room and came to my doorstep every day to shout at me, making it impossible for me to sleep well at night.

What they thought was righteous behavior was actually extremely foolish.

Jason was so complacent that he called me and said, "Rita, I am too clever for you. Just give in and take mom back home, or I will make you ashamed to face others in the future."

"Really? I'm curious that how will you make me ashamed to face others?"

He laughed arrogantly, "You have seen my live broadcast, right? Those idiots believed everything I said. If you don't do as I say, I will publish your information and subject you to cyberbullying."

I sneered.

He dared to distort the truth online, because he was sure that I had no evidence to prove that he was lying.

But I really had no evidence?

He and my mother never knew how I had got so much money to take care of her after I had quit my job in my previous life.

I had offered her the best medicine, the best hospital, and even the best daily diet.

It all had depended on my side job!

I was a video blogger. At first I didn't take it seriously, but later I accumulated a group of fans, and my monthly advertising income alone was over tens of thousands dollars.

Otherwise, would I be able to support both of us without working for five years?

My early fans all knew my background and they gave me the nickname "Inspirational Rita".

It was just that I never showed my face, so they didn't know that I was the heroine of the "Abandonment event" that had been making headlines recently.

Seeing that Jason was slandering me on live broadcast again, I directly posted a video on my account.

First of all, I admitted that I was the heroine of the "Abandonment event", then I explained the whole story again and showed the evidence of my workstudy program over the years.

My fans commented as soon as possible:

[I feel sorry for you, Rita. I know your family treats you badly, but I didn't know it was so bad.]

[It is really miserable to have such a family.]

[Give you a hug, Rita. We all believe in you.]

Soon netizens also flocked in.

[Fuck, the truth is surprising.]

[This family is so disgusting. If I were the daughter, I would do something even worse than her. The mother deserves it.]

[Bah! How shameless! She abandoned her when she was only one year old. Now that she is paralyzed, she still dares to ask her to take care of her. How dare she be so shameless.]

[The obligation and responsibility to support both children and the elderly are equal. If she has never taken care of her daughter, why should she ask her to take care of her?]

At that time, a special voice appeared in the comments.

[I can prove that everything she said was true. She was my high school classmate and our classmates all knew about her family affairs.]

Later, more and more classmates came forward to testify for me.

I was so moved that I sent private messages to each of them to express my gratitude.

Soon, public opinion in Jason's live broadcast room changed.

He was so confused by the scolding that he quickly turned off the live broadcast!

That was not the end yet.
