Reborn From Betrayal, I’ll Make My Mother Taste RuinChapter 1

My mom seemed incapable of understanding human speech. I had stayed up late preparing a proposal and told her I had an important meeting in the morning.

Yet she slipped sleeping pills into my milk and secretly turned off my phone. When I woke, it was already 10:30 a.m.

“Which daughter doesn’t deserve to be cared for? I just wanted you to sleep a little longer.”

There was no time to argue. I turned on my phone and found hundreds of messages from my boss and colleagues urging me.

Luckily, the company was nearby. I grabbed my laptop bag and rushed downstairs to see that the electric bike’s tire was flat.

“You complained that the tire had no air the other day, so I kindly pumped it for you. I forgot to screw the valve cap back on.”

With no time left to argue, I ran to the company, panting, and forced a smile as I opened my laptop.

No matter what I did, the laptop was soaked, dead, and refusing to turn on. I was fired and sent home, and Mom still wore that heavy look of disappointment.

“You said last night your laptop was dusty. I thought, it’s just dust, why not wash it clean with water? So I did.”
