Chapter 1
After being abused to death by Mom’s seven adopted sons.
I was reborn back to when I was three and a half.
Facing those vicious faces again, I wailed at the top of my lungs.
“Wuwuwu, Mom, come quick!”
“Your ‘filial‘ sons are trying to kill me to take the family fortune!”
Hearing my cries, Mom rushed over and picked me up.
When she saw my fingers red from hot water, her face turned cold.
“What happened?”
Rachel, who was nearby, answered cautiously.
“Probably a mosquito bite.”
Bullshit! That’s no mosquito bite. It was clearly my wicked sister Katherine who burned me.
Unfortunately, I was only three and a half and couldn’t say so much at once. I could only point at her and stammer.
“S–sister… burned… burned me.”
This was the first time I tattled in front of Mom, so everyone looked surprised.

“Mom, little sister is young. You can’t take her words seriously.”
The usually quiet big brother suddenly had a lot to say.
“Oh?”
Mom looked meaningfully at big brother. “Betty is young, not stupid. She knows who bullied her.”
Big brother raised his head without changing expression. “We’re all Betty’s brothers and sisters. How could we really bully her?”
“Even if Katherine did it, it was an accident.”
Rachel chimed in right after.
“Madam, bumps and scrapes between kids are normal. Don’t make a big deal.”
Make a big deal?
I stared hard at that wrinkled old hag.
In my past life, after I died, I learned she was Katherine’s birth mother.
She was the one who came up with the plan to kill me and take the fortune.
Mom looked at the self–righteous group and her voice turned sharp.
“Whether it was on purpose or not, we’ll see.”
Katherine’s face instantly paled. She looked at Mom guiltily.
“S–see what?”
Mom didn’t waste words. She had the butler pull up the surveillance.

They didn’t know that since my birth, the whole house except the bathrooms and bedrooms had 360–degree surveillance.

In my past life, Mom didn’t mention the surveillance because she trusted
them.
In the video, I was sitting quietly playing on the floor. Katherine came out of her room looking annoyed.
In her anger, she kicked me right in the chest.
I cried out in pain. Seeing that, she pinched me hard several times.
Finally, she stuck my fingers into the hot water kettle.
“Cry, cry, cry! I can’t even nap in peace!”
“If you don’t stop, I’ll throw you out to feed the dogs, you little bitch.”
After the video, the room fell dead silent.
Katherine grabbed Mom’s pants leg and begged.
“Mom, Betty was crying too loud. It disturbed my rest.
I know I was wrong. I promise I’ll never do it again. Please don’t be mad.”
Mom looked at the blisters on my fingers, heartbroken.
She kicked Katherine aside.
“Get out. Don’t ever come back to my house.
As soon as she said that, all six brothers knelt before Mom.

“Mom, please don’t kick Katherine out. We’ll treat little sister well.”
We grew up with Kate, we won’t let her leave.
Yeah, Kate’s your daughter too, how could you be so heartless…
They all talked at once, determined to keep Katherine from leaving.
Mom gave a cold laugh, standing firm,
“Either she goes, or you all go with her!”
With that, Mom carried me back to the room, leaving them sobbing uncontrollably in the living room.
By dinner, Katherine was gone from the house.
My brothers looked at me with eyes full of resentment.
After feeding me, Mom gazed at me tenderly.
“Sweetie, Mom has a business trip for a few days. Be good at home.”
At Mom’s words, fleeting looks of glee crossed their faces.
I knew their chance to strike had come.
