Every month, Evan gave her an allowance, but she spent it on plastic surgery secretly.
Melissa's face turned purple and blue with the bruises, but she still insisted, "So what? It's only natural for me to have a good life. As my daughter-in-law, you should endure hardships!"

Melissa's arrogant face stiffened, and her eyes glinting with malice stared at me. "I raised Evan up on my own. I'm much better than his short-lived mother."
Evan's mother died in an accident twenty years ago.
Less than a month after her death, Melissa married his father and held a grand wedding, claiming that it was for the better care of Evan.
Evan's father was busy with work all year round and agreed to marry Melissa so that she could take care of Evan.
Evan stood aside and coldly reminded Melissa, "Mom, please stop making things difficult for Rebecca. You should know she is my wife."
Melissa didn't listen. She rolled on the ground while crying and pounding the floor.
