After My Life Reborn, I Discovered Painful Truth About My FamilyChapter 1

On the day I married into a wealthy family, my father handed me a card with a worried look on his face.

"Alice, rich people won’t treat those of us from humble backgrounds sincerely. You should think more about yourself. Your mother and I will save five thousand dollars every month to give you some security. We can only help you so much."

I held my parents’ rough hands, moved to tears and etched their words into my heart.

After marriage, I lived like a hedgehog—always on guard against everyone in my husband’s family. In three years, I secretly saved nearly five million dollars in the card.

Tommy eventually moved abroad to live alone because of my coldness and domineering behavior.

It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with cancer and needed surgery that I discovered there was only a pitiful twenty dollars left in the card.

When I cried and confronted my parents, my brother—wearing a million-dollar watch—kicked me out of our family home.

"My parents give you half of their pension every month. You still have the nerve to ask for money? Don’t you even leave them anything for their coffins?"
