But she didn’t. She believed Eden’s tears and believed my betrayal.
With just a quick glance at the video, she condemned me.
She left me in a corner, devoured and buried deep underground, hidden from the public eye.
Even that poor child was packaged as a priceless relic bead, being shipped abroad as merchandise.
At this moment, I couldn’t help but sigh. God was such a cruel screenwriter. He took my child’s life and mine, yet brought us together in this way.
That sweet, sensible child died filled with resentment and regret. After many years, we traveled across the world.
After all these twists and turns, Monica gave the beads to Eden as a gift to keep him safe. What an irony of fate.
My thoughts returned and I looked at Monica unwillingly. I knew it was impossible. But I still hoped she would see me, hear my heartfelt words.
But then, when I heard their conversation, my long-dead soul felt a chill once again.
Eden leaned into Monica’s arms and sighed in mock grievance.
“Monica, are you still heartbroken about Theodore’s betrayal? Actually, this whole thing started because of me. If I hadn’t driven the company to the brink of bankruptcy, Theodore wouldn’t have been so eager to run away with the money. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you, I shouldn’t have ruined your marriage…”
Monica kissed Eden’s forehead with a pained look. “It’s none of your business. Theodore is willing to degrade himself. I should thank you for letting me see his true colors!”
Eden sighed, resting his head on Monica’s shoulder. As their lingering conversation progressed, I gradually learned.
It turned out Monica had been cheating on Eden long before my death. She fell in love with him at first sight at the campus recruitment fair and made an exception to hire him to stay with her.
Monica even admitted it herself. Eden was the love of her life. To me, it was just a responsibility.
“Theodore’s family situation is special. I can’t divorce him, but I will never let you down. Everything I have in the future, I will give you double!”
Monica’s favoritism caused Eden to lose his composure and foster undue ambition.
While I was at home taking care of the children, he acted arrogantly, acting like a boss and offended the company’s major clients.
Monica got into a fight with the other party to protect Eden. This led to a client falling out and the company on the verge of bankruptcy.
