Chapter 15
No matter how much Jess begged, I kept
saying that I didn’t have any money.
<
She didn’t get a single dollar from me.
Without money for treatment, Jess’s mother- in–law’s condition worsened, and she died in
the hospital.
No one was by her side. Jess and her husband were fighting over divorce papers.
They had no money, and they couldn’t sell
their house because of the rumor that they
had a relative with leukemia.
They fought over who was responsible for the cancer and had no time to take care of their
child. My aunt finally took the kid.

night and died.
That was the end of the family that had killed
me in my past life.
I signed a long–term contract with Evelyn. At
first, I was her live–in nanny, taking care of
Ashley. Later, when Ashley was healthy, I
became Evelyn’s personal assistant. I started

Then, I was promoted to the Chief of Staff of
the CEO’s office, step by step, I reached a
level that I could never have imagined in my
previous life.
Evelyn asked, “Looking back, do you ever
