After her beloved husband had cheated on her with her sister, Lily thought that nothing could be worse than his betrayal. But she went on to discover the truth that their marriage had, from the beginning, been nothing but a conspiracy. The fatal confrontation with her husband sent Lily tumbling down the stairs. She gradually lost her consciousness as she lay in the pool of her blood. As death slowly took her, Lily's final moments were filled with resentment and anger towards all those who had failed her. As destiny would have it, she was reborn and was now back to the time when she was in junior high. It was the place where her nightmares had begun in her previous life, but this time, she was going to turn the tables. She planned to take back all that they owed her, bit by bit. She would have her sweet revenge.
"I'm pregnant!" While holding the pregnancy test result, Lily Qiao returned home with joy. She wanted to share the good news with her husband as soon as possible.
They had been married for five years already. The Gu family were looking forward to cementing their love with a baby now.
Lily Qiao had tried every means possible to conceive, but she had failed up till now.
Her husband, Frank Gu, was supportive of their attempts, and he didn't say anything, but her mother-in-law's attitude was steadily worsening. At first, she hadn't openly criticized Lily Qiao, but over time this had changed into real insults.
"Marrying a sow would have been better than marrying you. At least a sow is able to have babies.
If you are unqualified, there are tons of women who could have done this job better than you. Don't you know how many women out there want to have a baby with Frank? Don't occupy this position and do nothing!"
Lily Qiao could not stomach her mother-in-law's harsh words any longer. But for the sake of the family's harmony, she had struggled to endure it.
Finally, she could now satisfy the demands of her family.
As she strode down the passageway to the bedroom, Lily Qiao suddenly heard strange sounds, which were easily associated with passionate lovemaking.
Lily Qiao wondered who was having sex at this time of day. The voices came from her and Frank's room. Did it mean...
She quickly walked the last few steps and opened the door.
How could her beloved husband and sister be so obscenely tangled up with each other on their bed?!
Witnessing this scene of reckless abandon, Lily Qiao felt unsteady and struggled to remain standing. She was so shocked that she could hardly believe her eyes. But this was really happening!
"Frank Gu! Claire Qiao!" Lily Qiao shouted angrily, her voice driven hoarse with pain.
They froze mid-act on the bed. Claire Qiao, wearing a seductive smile, glanced at Lily Qiao. She didn't feel guilt or show any signs of remorse; she was even flaunting it!
"Lily, didn't you go to the hospital? Why have you returned so soon?" Frank picked up a bath towel and wrapped it around his naked body. He didn't feel any shame at being caught cheating on his wife. Instead, he felt impatient with her interruption.
"If I didn't return so soon, how could I see what you have done? Frank Gu, is this how you remain faithful to our marriage? You said you loved me. Is this how you show your love?" Lily stepped forward angrily and glared at him.
"Ha-ha! Love you? Apart from our company's stock you own, what do you have that could make Frank fall in love with you? Why would he stay married to you? I tell you, Frank loves me." Claire giggled, "Today, I waited until you finally signed the equity transfer agreement. Once that is resolved, I'll give you a divorce agreement, my dear sister."
"No way!" Lily couldn't believe what Claire said at all.
"Stop it, Claire." Frank could not bear to see Lily's pale and drawn face. "Let's get a divorce, Lily. I'll give you a sum of money afterward. I won't leave you destitute for the rest of your life."
Looking at their disgusting faces and hearing what they had said, Lily was so shocked that she almost fainted. She grabbed Frank's arm and shouted, "You are a liar! You are a liar! You are all liars! Frank, I'm pregnant. Is it true that five-years' relationship with me is not as good as that of a mistress, and that my child is not as good as a mistress?"
"How could that be possible? I gave it every day..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Claire's shocked voice.
"Lily, are you kidding me? Every time you had sex, Frank gave you a contraceptive. But now, you say you are pregnant? Who can believe that?"
"What?" Lily's brain was stunned.
Claire looked at her in a condescending manner and said contemptuously, "I don't know whose bastard you're carrying, and I can't believe you'd dare to say that the baby is Frank's. Look at your crumpled face, which man could fall in love with you? Oh, by the way..."
She pretended to be surprised as she continued, "I almost forgot to tell you that I'm pregnant too. I'm already four months along. Lily, you are nothing more than a mistress. Now get out of here. Don't always try to occupy Frank."
With these words, Claire snuggled up to his bare chest and said in a spoiled tone, "Frank, my belly is starting to look a little bit swollen. We have to hurry up with planning the wedding or my stomach will get too big to fit into a wedding dress."
Looking at the cuddling couple before her, Lily just felt a tragic sense of irony. She was just a mistress?! It was so ridiculous! The mistress had accused her, a married woman, for interrupting their love!
Now she realized how silly she had been when she had insisted on choosing this man in front of her. It turned out that everything was a fraud.
"One more thing, my dear sister, let me tell you. It was us who orchestrated the accident with our father." Claire continued complacently, "Otherwise, how can you give up your shares without featuring in this scene? So you don't have to be so angry. Even our father is on my side. It's time for you to take a long and hard look in the mirror!"
This was insane! Lily then smiled instead of being angry. What did this mean? She had been at the mercy of their schemes all her life, and everyone she treasured had been dragged into it!
Father, husband, sister... But she had still struggled on, thinking that she would live a happy life as long as she could conceive a child, and that everything would then be better.
Lily raised her hand and was about to slap Frank's face. But before she could hit him, Claire grabbed her wrist, and she slapped Lily savagely. "Bitch, you are just like your weak and incompetent mother. You also deserve to be killed!"
Hearing this, Lily grew even angrier. It turned out that her mother's death had also been planned! Overwhelmed by rage, regret, and resentment, she wrestled with Claire.
She was thinner than Claire and lacked the same power as her. So being unable to beat up Claire, she was knocked to the floor by her.
Claire decided there and then, and she kicked Lily with all her strength, concentrating on her waist and abdomen.
Lily huddled up in pain and hunched over, trying to shield her stomach with her hands. Her mother had died early, and recently even her grandfather, who had loved her most, had passed away. This meant that her only living relative in this world was her unborn baby.
So she had to protect her baby!
"All right, Claire." Frank restrained Claire's arm and looked down at Lily, who was lying in a crumpled heap. "Lily, you should go now. The divorce agreement will be sent to you by my lawyer, and as for the baby in your belly... Do as you like with it!"
Lily smiled sadly, and her eyes were filled with resentment. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Lily struggled to get up from the ground. Although she walked somewhat unsteadily, she still tried to balance her body and resolutely left the room.
Seeing that Lily was about to reach the stairway, a vicious light flashed in Claire's eyes. She hurried up behind Lily and suddenly pushed her.
Lily was about to walk down the stairs when she found that she had lost her footing. However, she was quick enough and grasped the hand that Claire used to push her.
"Ah!" Claire screamed. She quickly grabbed the stair railing with the other hand to stop herself from falling after Lily.
"Let me go! Let me go!" she screamed and tried to shake off Lily's hand.
Lily, galvanized by desperation, firmly clutched her hand with all of her might. Because her whole body was now dangling forward, Lily was unable to find firm footing. Resolutely, she clutched at Claire's hand with one hand and the railing with the other.
"Frank, help me! Frank!" Claire screamed, fearing that she would tumble after Lily and lose her baby.
Frank ran out of the room, grabbed Claire, and savagely kicked Lily. "You evil woman, how dare you want to drag Claire down the stairs!"
Without thinking, Frank kicked Lily's chest, causing her to tumble down the stairs.
Lying at the foot of the stairs, Lily was drowning in a wave of pain. The pain in her chest and in her abdomen was excruciating.
There was warm liquid running out between her legs. Lily reached out her hand subconsciously and tried to hold it in. She screamed in panic, "Baby! My baby! My baby!"
The baby she was trying to save was slowly flowing from her body.
"No, no!" Lily screamed in an agony, sounding weak. There was also a wound on the back of her head that was bleeding.
"Baby, baby..." Her voice faded, becoming weaker and weaker.
Before she lost consciousness, her eyes fixed on the man and woman towering above her on the stairs.
Frank frowned and descended the stairs like a lord. His heart tightened at the sight of Lily's staring eyes. He put his hand under her nose. Startled, he looked up at Claire and replied, "Dead."
Just then, Frank's mother came home. She was shocked by the scene. "What happened?"
"She fell down and died!" Claire pointed her finger at Lily. She was, of course, lying.
"Fell to death? How unfortunate she is! It is, however, great that she's died. How could she stop others form being Frank's wife? Frank is more than thirty years old, but he still hasn't sired a child with the barren bitch. If she died now, Frank wouldn't have to divorce her..." Jade Zhang bombarded Lily with mean-spirited remarks.
However, Lily could not hear these words any more, and she no longer had to endure such humiliation!
