Chapter 2

Luna flew into a rage out of shame because of my look before I even said anything.

"You, how dare you insult me with money!" Luna exclaimed as if I had insulted her with something dirty. "Let me tell you, my relationship with Kevin is not something that can be measured in terms of money. I'm here to take care of him, not for the money!"

Hearing this, I almost burst out laughing and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you a hired caregiver? Didn't you come here for the money?"

"Of course not. I'm not after money. I'm here because of Kevin, for the relationship we've had for over two decades." As Luna spoke, she looked at my dad affectionately, and my dad was as excited as a teenager. If he weren't confined to the bed and unable to move, I wouldn't have doubted that he would hold hands with his old flame right in front of me.

But this was exactly what I was waiting for Luna to say. As for the rest, I didn't give a damn.

I interrupted the flirting atmosphere between the two and said directly, "Alright, since you're not after money, then I won't pay you a salary. Take good care of my dad, after all, you two have a relationship built over two decades. How could money taint that?"

With that, I ignored Luna, who looked as if she'd been struck by lightning, and immediately got up to leave.

I was eager to see just how deep this so-called love was when they claimed that money wasn't an issue!

Leaving the hospital, I immediately got in touch with the company manager, asking him to take advantage of my dad's hospitalization to quickly get rid of those poor relatives of my dad who were freeloading in the company.

Over the years, after my dad took over the management of the company, he tried to build up an image of a successful listed company CEO in front of his relatives back in his hometown.

He hired all sorts of people, regardless of their abilities. And if it hadn't been for the senior staff left by my grandfather keeping a watchful eye on things, who knows what kind of chaos he would have created.

After handling these matters, I didn't forget to drive back home. I had to tell my mom everything. Otherwise, she might still be under the delusion of a happy family life.

As soon as I walked into the house, our housekeeper stopped me, telling me not to disturb my mom's rest. She said my mom had fainted after coming home and was now resting.

Hearing this, I couldn't pay attention to anything else, fearing that my mom might have another accident because of that scoundrel of a father.

I rushed straight to my mom's bedroom door, pushed it open, and barged in. The noise woke my mom, who looked at me in a daze.

Seeing her like this, the grievances that I had accumulated over two lifetimes burst out uncontrollably. I burst into tears in my mom's arms, "Mom, you have to believe me. I've been reincarnated. In my past life, Dad rekindled his old flame with his first love, forced you to divorce, and left you with a debt of two hundred million dollars..."

Before I could finish, my mom gently stroked my head and softly said, "I know."

Hearing her say that, I forgot all about crying and stared at her blankly.

My mom looked me straight in the eyes, nodded firmly, and told me that she had been reincarnated too.

However, what was different from what I knew was that in her previous life, my mom didn't jump off a building because she couldn't bear the blow. She was pushed downstairs by my dad and Luna and died from the fall because they wanted the trust fund that my grandparents had left for her.

After my mom's death, the money naturally went to me, which was why my dad wanted to get rid of me completely.

As my only direct relative, if I died, all that money would belong to Kevin.

"Then, Mom, we mustn't let those two scoundrels get away with it." I leaned against my mom, speaking softly.

With my mom's support, everything became a lot easier.

My mom wasn't naive. She chose my dad in the beginning because he was easy to control.

A self-made man from a rural background, with no solid foundation at all.

If it hadn't been for my mom's congenital heart disease, which made it difficult for her to handle the company affairs, the company would never have been handed over to my dad.

Just like now, as the largest shareholder, my mom directly called a board meeting and removed my dad, the acting director, from the company, and no one objected.

Meanwhile, my good-for-nothing dad was still blissfully unaware, completely captivated by the charm of his first love.

It wasn't until everything was settled, with my mom hiring a new CEO and the company's operations returning to normal, that my dad's call finally came through.
