chapter 3

Everyone was startled by Aurora's actions. Cora covered her mouth and screamed, while Chris widened his eyes and cursed in French.

Micah clutched his chest and sighed, "What's going on? How did our family end up like this?"

"Stella, you know your mom's temper. Just listen to her."

Cora said fearfully, "Stella, it's just a house, isn't it? They were originally Mom and Dad's. Why are you forcing Mom?"

I was shaking with anger, while Aurora looked at me smugly, as if showing off.

She flaunted her "rights" as a mother. No matter what, she is still my mom.

Suddenly, I felt warmth on the back of my hand. It turned out Bennett was holding my hand.

He looked at me sincerely and said, "Honey, let's not take that house. Don't argue with Aurora. I agree to take care of Micah and let Micah live with us."

Tears were about to fall from my eyes. I sniffled, then nodded and said, "I can give up the house, but I want to sign a guarantee with Cora."

"From today on, youll only be responsible for taking care of Mom, and Ill only be responsible for taking care of Dad. No matter what happens, we cant go back on this."

Before Cora could speak, Aurora immediately agreed.

She said, "Fine. If you stop upsetting me, Im sure I can live to a hundred."

For the sake of that one million dollars, Cora said nothing more.

I hid the coldness in my eyes, recalling the call Cora made when Aurora was hospitalized in her previous life.

It was a call to borrow money.

Actually, Cora's life abroad wasn't as luxurious as we imagined; she had to fight with a third party every day.

Later, Cora realized she was also one of the mistresses. Chris already had a wife and had frozen Cora's bank card.

Cora completely broke down and wanted to borrow money from me to return home.

I hadn't had the chance to lend her the money before I was reborn.

I want to see how long they can last this time with Aurora going abroad with her.

After selling the house, Aurora told everyone she was going abroad with Cora to enjoy life.

Neighbors and relatives all envied her, praising her for having a capable daughter.

As for me, they all sighed and said, "Stella was sensible since childhood. But when she grew up, she didnt marry as well as the mischievous Cora."

Hearing these words, I ignored them. I rented the house next door and let Micah move in.

After learning about this, Aurora was furious and kept telling others that I was unfilial for not letting Micah live with me.

But in fact, Micah felt quite relaxed. He had a room to himself and didnt have to feel restricted.

On the day Aurora and Cora went abroad, Micah and I went to the airport to see them off.

At the airport, Aurora dressed like a wealthy lady, not even glancing at me, her eyes filled with longing for a luxurious life abroad.

Micah wiped his tears and said, "When you're abroad, call me often. If we have time, we'll come visit you there."

Aurora mockingly said, "Then you'd better have Stella earn more money. Otherwise, she won't even afford the plane ticket."

She still resents me for not letting her go abroad to find Cora in our past life.

I lowered my head and said nothing. In this life, she can be with Cora forever.

Micah felt very awkward and whispered, "Stella is great. Whether rich or not, she's still our daughter."

My nose stung sharply. After Micah went abroad in our past life, I never saw him again.

I don't know if he lived well in our past life or if he regretted his decision like Aurora did.

Micah is honest and gentle, but in truth, he's just timid. Aurora makes all the decisions at home.

Even if Micah wanted to help me, he wouldn't dare go against Aurora.

Cora urged by the security checkpoint, "Mom, let's go. If we want to come back later, we can."

Aurora nodded happily, then said to me, "Look at Cora. Having money is great; you can go wherever you want."

I let out a cold laugh and thought, "Really? Then why didn't she come back to see you often in her past life?"

I forced a smile, then waved and said, "Mom, I hope you truly have a good life abroad."
