Revenge for My Dead Daughter

Before the Christmas Eve, my nanny brought her family to my house without telling me.

However, I found that she treated my daughter differently from her grandson.

The nanny's grandson was playing with firecrackers at my house, which caused a fire and burned my daughter to death.

I was reborn and returned to the day her family arrived...

"Mrs. Jones, I was so busy these days that I forgot to tell you. Please let us in."

The nanny blocked the door with her daughter and grandson.

"How could you forget that since you have a suitcase with you?"

I picked up my daughter and stared at the doorbell.

Ms. Dale's daughter, Bonnie Yates, was only in her early twenties and dressed simply.

The boy in her arms was dark, thin, and withered. His eyes were dull, and he didn't even wipe off the snot on his face.

"Mrs. Jones, Mr. Jones has agreed. My daughter and grandson will stay here for two or three days and will leave soon!"

"Mrs. Jones, my daughter has just divorced. It's too lonely for her to celebrate Christmas alone with her son. Could you please let her stay for a few days?"

"Mom, why don't we go back?"

Bonnie Yates stamped her feet and felt embarrassed.

"How can you bear the heavy snow in our hometown this year? It's warm and comfortable here. Listen to me, they still rely on me to take care of their daughter!"

The two of them thought that I wouldn't be able to hear them since they'd lowered their voices, but they didn't expect the quality of the surveillance camera to be so good.

"Boohoo, boohoo, Grandma... Grandma..."

Mia looked at Ms. Dale on the screen and reached out to hug her.

My parents died early, my fatherinlaw was in poor health, and my motherinlaw was busy taking care of him every day.

I'm a news anchor, and my husband is busy with work. Ms. Dale spends almost every day with Mia.

After Mia learned to speak, she always called Ms. Dale grandma, and she couldn't change that over time."

I felt sad and hugged my daughter tightly, preparing to make some milk for her.

In my previous life, I broadcast the news as usual.

The director suddenly wanted to interrupt the broadcast of a piece of news. I looked at the teleprompter and felt that something was wrong.

"A house was on fire on the 30th floor of Building D of Splendid Gardens. The deceased is a twoyearold child..."

The photo was enlarged on the screen. Even with mosaics, I could tell that it was my daughter!

Mia!

I blacked out and fell on the platform.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the time when Ms. Dale blocked the door with her daughter and grandson.

Mia in my arms was warm and soft.

But when she heard Ms. Dale's voice, she straightened up and resisted my hug.

"Mrs. Jones, Mia's hungry. She only wants me to feed her. Let me in!"

Ms. Dale heard Mia's cry outside the door.

At this time, the sound of the lock opening could be heard.

My husband, Frank Jones, is home from work.

"Stella, there are many empty rooms at home. It's okay for them to stay for a few days."

As soon as the door was opened, Ms. Dale couldn't wait to come in with her daughter.

"Bonnie, this is Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Say hello!"

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jones."

Bonnie changed her previous appearance outside the door and looked timidly at Frank.

"I want to drink milk!"

When the boy in her arms saw the bottle in my hand, his eyes lit up and he snatched it from me. Then, he greedily sucked on it.

Mia's milk was snatched away and she burst into tears.

"Mia, don't cry. Andy is naughty! Let's naughty make a fresh bottle of milk for you..."

Ms. Dale snatched Mia from my arms in a hurry and coaxed her gently.

After a while, Mia fell asleep peacefully.

I sat in my room, sulking.

I had been reborn but allowed this old woman to barge in with her daughter again.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Frank closed the door and hugged me from behind.

"Why did you promise them? They will bring us trouble!"

"Forget it. You can't ask for a leave of absence during the Christmas. Mia relies on Ms. Dale..."

Small kisses landed on the side of my face.

I pushed Frank away and looked at him.

"What's the smell on your body?"

It was a mixture of inferior perfume and secondhand cigarettes.

Frank lowered his head and sniffed his sleeves. "This is the dinner party. There are about 20 or 30 people in the private room. I'm going to take a shower."

I recalled the scene just now.

Frank played with Mia for a while and then played with Ms. Dale's grandson.

He had a good chat with Bonnie.

Bonnie's eyes were so eager that she didn't look like a woman who had just divorced.

Before I was reborn, I knew nothing about what happened next after Mia's death.

I hoped I was not overthinking things.

Ms. Dale was very sensible and only allowed her daughter and grandson to live in the workers' room with her.

The boy was a child with a high demand and cried all night long.

He even woke Mia up several times.

The tragic experience of my previous life was still vivid in my mind. I had to prevent her grandson from staying with Mia.

Frank's business had just been on the right track. He was busy during Christmas and could not stay at home for the next few days.

I had no choice but to ask for leave from my superior.

"Stella, do you know that the work for Christmas has already been settled? You are still a live streamer. If you leave, who will do your work?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I have a compelling reason to ask for leave.."

"What reason? I'd like to hear it."

I was stunned.

I can't say that I have the ability to predict the future, can I?

"I can't say."

"I refuse. You're already 30 years old. You should have a direction to your career plan. How many people are eyeing your position? If you slack off a little, someone will take it!"

The leader had always thought highly of me, but now he only felt angry at my failure to live up to his expectations.

"…"

After a long silence, I sighed.

"Sorry, I quit."

When I walked out of the TV station, I felt relieved.

This job gave me a sense of satisfaction and material needs, but Mia's life was the most important.

When I got home, I asked Ms. Dale to sit down with me.

"Ms. Dale, you've been fired."

"What? Madam, did I do something wrong? I will ask my daughter and grandson to leave."

Her salary was 20% higher than that of other nannies. Mia was obedient and I was easygoing. I didn't have to worry about having no one to do this job."

I shook my head and said, "This is because I resigned. I can't afford your salary in the future. You can go now. I'll still pay you for the next few days."

She knew the address of my house and knew Mia. If she went crazy, we would be at a disadvantage.

I chose to spend my money to send them away.

At my insistence, Ms. Dale had to resign.

She begged me to give her a day to buy a ticket before leaving.

I still had a lot of work to do, so I reluctantly agreed.

When Frank got home from work, he angrily asked, "The leaders of the TV station said that you resigned. Why was it like this?

"No reason. I'm tired."

"Do you know that the company's business is not stable yet? If something happens to me, my family will be in danger. Besides, you know a lot of people in the TV station, so it will be much more convenient for you to pave the way for me!"

Oh, of course I knew.

For Frank's company, I had used all my connections to introduce two big shots to him a few months ago.

It was said that every man wanted his wife to be a fulltime housewife. If it weren't for the nature of his work, he wouldn't have refused, would he?

Opening the door, Bonnie hugged her son with tears in her eyes.

"Sir, Madam, don't fire my mother... I'll move out now."

Bonnie left with her son overnight. Frank had a good relationship with my boss, so he didn't hand in the resignation letter to the higherups at all.

That night, he invited me to drink red wine.

"Honey, I saved your job. How can you thank me?"

I pushed his body away and gulped down the red wine.

Recalling the news in my previous life, my body was still trembling.

While Ms. Dale was sending her daughter to the hotel, I asked someone to install a few secret surveillance cameras at home.

Then, less than two days later, I received a piece of extremely depressing news.

Ms. Dale was taking a walk in the community with Mia in her arms. In order to avoid the big dog, she accidentally sprained her ankle.

At the moment of her injury, she had protected Mia well. One of her hands had been propped up on the ground and her bones had been broken.

The doctor said that it was not a big deal, but she couldn't work anymore.

We covered all the medical expenses during Ms. Dale's recovery. She also got her salary.

"Mrs. Jones, it's almost Christmas, and we're shorthanded. The nanny reservation has been scheduled to three months later..."

After asking several agents, Frank found that there was no nanny even if he increased the salary.

Ms. Dale's face was full of guilt. She whispered to Frank, "Sir, why don't you let my daughter do it? She used to be a nanny and took care of the children well. Her salary is the same as mine, and you don't need to pay me."

Frank looked at my face and hesitated.

I sighed and thought, "I'd better ask my boss if I can ask for leave."

There was no reason last time, but this time there was.

What's more, I wasn't even afraid of resigning, let alone being bullied.

Frank lowered his head guiltily, and his voice was as low as a mosquito's.

"Honey, you can't resign."

I was so angry that I almost exploded.

Frank had a meal with the leaders of the TV station without telling me, privately helped me renew my threeyear contract with the TV station, and promised to let me be the host of the Christmas Gala.

"I don't agree. I'll reject it now."

When I was about to make a call, I was stopped by Frank.

"Honey, I'm sorry... I even took the money."

I'm the chief news anchor, so of course, my contract renewal fee is higher than others.

But when Frank received it, he immediately put the money into the operation of his company and spent most of it.

Since I resigned last time, the leaders of the TV station thought that I was disloyal, so they deliberately raised the penalty ratio.

The astronomical figure in the contract was simply unimaginable.

"Stella, it's wrong to hide it from you, but it's also to keep your position as an anchor! Being a news anchor has been your dream since you were a child. Now that you've made great achievements, how can you give it up?"

I glared at Frank angrily. "Do you know that you signed the contract on my behalf without my knowledge and embezzled the renewal fee? I can sue you."

What he didn't know was that the day of the gala was the time when Mia was burned to death in my previous life.

That night, after I personally reported the news of my daughter's death, I had an acute cerebral hemorrhage and died on the news station.

"Since God has given me a chance to save Mia, I must make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Hearing my accusation, Frank flew into a rage.

"Stella, do you know how many glasses I drank? I bowed and smiled apologetically to get your boss Mr. Ben Carl to agree to keep you. Other men want his wife to be a housewife at home 24 hours a day. Look at which husband supports his wife's career so much as I do!"

"You can get an internal price by advertising in my company, and you even use my network to do business. How can you not support me?"

If nothing had happened, I would never be able to see the faces of the people around me clearly.

This was the first time that I had talked back to Frank, but he couldn't say anything.

I sneered and returned to my room with Mia in my arms.

I had contacted many agents, but there was still no nanny to work with.

Because of the epidemic a few years ago, everyone paid more and more attention to reunion. Some of them would rather not make money than stay in their hometown during the Christmas.

The rehearsal for the Christmas Gala took a lot of time. At Frank's insistence, I acquiesced in Bonnie's temporary replacement of Ms. Dale.

Those huge suitcases appeared in my storage room again.

Along with the crying of Ms. Dale's grandson.

I made an agreement with Frank that he had to find time to stay at home every day. At least one of us would stay with Mia.

Out of caution, I also asked Bonnie to stay in my RV until the end of the work on the day of the Christmas Gala.

For my job, Frank had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Bonnie came back with Mia.

Bonnie got started quickly and had a good interaction with Mia.

It was just that occasionally, her childraising concepts couldn't keep up with the modern rhythm.

Ms. Dale's foot was injured, so Bonnie was responsible for cooking at home.

Frank always joked that it was a good deal to spend one person's money with two people working.

He fulfilled his promise to me and took more care of Mia. He spent more and more time with her every day.

From time to time, laughter could be heard from home. It was peaceful.

But I didn't dare to relax.

It was getting closer to the Christmas Gala. Every time I thought of it, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest and I couldn't breathe.

Since I was working at home today, I sat at the desk and stretched.

I went to the cloakroom to check the dresses and jewelry for the Christmas Gala. As soon as I opened the cabinet, I found that the box containing the jewelry had been moved.

I had always been obsessivecompulsive disorder. I had my own way of arranging jewelry, and even Frank did not know it.

Because of privacy, there was no surveillance camera installed in the cloakroom.

I counted and found that no jewelry was missing, but two bracelets and one ring were placed in the opposite direction.

"Bonnie."

"Mrs. Jones, what's wrong?"

Bonnie was cleaning the living room with sweat on her forehead.

"You touched my jewelry box?"

Ms. Dale had been at my place for two years. She only went in to clean up when I was around. I trusted her.

She was the only suspect.

As soon as I finished speaking, there was an awkward silence.

"What's wrong?"

Frank followed him in with Mia in his arms, along with Ms. Dale and Andy.

Seeing that there was something wrong with my expression, she winked at me.

"I'm, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jones. I wanted to wipe the cabinet for you, but I accidentally broke the box... I, I didn't mean to..."

She looked nervously at the floor, her knuckles turning white as she tugged at the rag.

Ms. Dale heard the news and came over, saying, "Bonnie didn't do it on purpose and she doesn't know the rules. I'll teach her later. I'm really sorry!"

"Honey, I don't think Bonnie did it on purpose. Forget it."

Frank was afraid that I would get angry, so he closed the case first.

Andy, who was in her arms, looked at the sparkling diamond bracelet on my wrist and his eyes lit up.

The black hand wiped away the snot on its face and snatched it from me.

"It was my mom's..."

Bonnie's face changed and she quickly hugged Andy.

"Mrs. Jones, I'm sorry! I won't do it again."

"I don't like people touching the things in this room. Don't come in."

"Yes! Thank you, Madam!"

Since there was nothing wrong with the jewelry, I didn't intend to look into it.

I didn't care about this incident.

In less than five days, the Christmas Gala would begin.

I rehearsed from morning to afternoon. I had just finished my work.

"Stella, look, someone stole your picture."

A makeup artist who had a good relationship with me showed me her phone.

On a social media platform, a blogger named "Looking forward to a New Life" posted a few photos.

[Does it look good? My honey bought it. I said it's too expensive. He said I was worthy of the best. Thank you, honey.]

Under the words was a skinned palm, and the diamond ring on his index finger was inexplicably familiar.

Wasn't this... a gift from Frank?

"Stella, I remember that you wore this diamond ring before. It's very beautiful!"

"This ring is not custommade, so it doesn't matter if the styles are the same."

I smiled and didn't take it to heart.

"No, no, there's more!"

The makeup artist showed me a few other photos.

She looked at the beautiful scenery outside through the floortoceiling window.

There were only scenery and no other features in the photo, but I could tell at a glance that the height and direction were consistent with my house.

The post said, "Time is still, and you should be content."

It even specifically marked the location: Imperial Vista Court.

It was my neighborhood.

It was evening when I chose a house with Frank. I took a fancy to the beautiful scenery on the balcony at a glance and bought a house without hesitation.

Under the influence of the surrounding benefits, the housing prices of our community had risen a lot. It was a famous luxury district in the city.

In fact, this blogger was showing off her wealth in the name of sharing her daily life, which attracted many netizens' comments.

[Can you rich people create your own Internet?]

[I am jealous of you.]

[Imperial Vista Court? Two hundred square meters? Mom, I'm your longlost son...]

The blogger replied to all the comments, saying that she didn't show off her wealth. She just posted some photos of her life.

Her indifferent tone made the netizens praise her even more.

I took a rough look and found some skincare products that I used to use. They were also sent out.

Thinking of the jewelry box last night, I had an answer in my heart.

"What do you think, Stella? I knew it. Did this person steal your picture?"

"No, it's all true."

I smiled faintly and continued scrolling through the pages.

I noticed that there were comments below every time the blogger shared it.

[Honey, you're so beautiful!]

[I really want to stay by your side and take care of you and the baby.]

[Honey, I know I was wrong. Can you come back?]

[What's wrong? You don't recognize me as your husband after living a good life?]

I clicked on it out of curiosity. The moment I saw the profile picture, I immediately got it through.

The netizen's profile picture was of a man and a woman kissing each other. The two of them looked young and innocent, and the background was like a rented house.

The woman was Bonnie.

A man...

It was very similar to Andy.

There's another rehearsal after the news broadcasting tonight. I said I wouldn't be back until three or four o'clock in the morning.

I took the opportunity to go home.

Sitting in the taxi, I remembered the surveillance video that had not been turned on.

I was trying to open it.

The screen showed that in the middle of the screen was the game pad of the living room, on which sat Mia and Andy.

At first, the two children were having a good time.

Mia picked up a doll, and Andy snatched it from her.

She was softhearted. She gave up the doll in her hand and changed to another one.

However, Andy seemed to just want to snatch it. He snatched it from Mia and even hit her on the head several times.

"Wah!" The two children burst into tears at the same time, each holding a doll's small hand.

It was common for children to fight for toys, but the next second, Bonnie's attitude was completely different from usual.

She snatched the toy from Mia's arms and stuffed it into Andy's hand.

"Be good, Andy, don't cry. She's bad! We won't play with her!"

Bonnie only picked up Andy and shook him gently, ignoring Mia's tears.

Ms. Dale stood in the open kitchen and turned a deaf ear, as if she had been used to it for a long time.

I looked at Mia, who was crying so hard that she was out of breath, and clenched my fists.

"Come on, let's eat something delicious!"

Ms. Dale carried two plates of food and asked the children to sit on the chairs.

Bonnie placed the food on Mia's table casually and held the plate to feed Andy.

Andy looked thin, but he ate very fast.

In less than two minutes, the plate of food was empty.

He cried and pointed to the plate, indicating that she had to eat the cod.

Bonnie Yates had no choice but to grab the small plate in front of Mia.

"Mia doesn't like to eat cod. Give it to Andy."

Mia watched in shock as her beloved cod was snatched away and eaten by someone else. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. I will make you some food!"

Ms. Dale scooped up some meat soup and asked Mia to have some soup and vegetables.

Mia smiled happily and looked at her with full trust.

At this time, Frank had just returned from the company. Andy saw him and shouted, "Daddy!"

Mia frowned and said, "It's mine, not yours!"

Frank was amused and touched the heads of the two children lovingly.

"Haha, they're all good children."

A hint of joy flashed across Bonnie's face as she was feeding and it was caught by me.

"Sir, let's eat."

The woman's voice was so tight that her eyes were almost popping out.

I wished I could grow a pair of wings on my back and tear them apart!

The music came, and the phone rang...
