Chapter 3 Back for Revenge

Boom!

A loud bang echoed as two cars collided. Then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, splitting the dark heavens with a flash of light.

Because of the collision, the girl sitting in the back seat hit the front seat, and she frowned in pain.

Renea slowly opened her eyes and looked around. For a moment, she didn't know what was going on.

She remembered Kailey throwing her in front of a car...and her dying. Then, as she looked around, she realized she was sitting in a car.

'Was I sitting in the car that took me to heaven? Then why do I still feel pain?' she thought to herself.

Still in confusion, her eyes fell on the woman sitting next to her in thin clothes. The moment she saw her, Renea's eyes turned cold. It was Kailey.

Seeing her sitting there, Renea's eyes filled with anger. Everything Kailey had done to her in the past played in her mind like a movie. Renea clenched her fists, ready to strangle her, when the driver's voice fell on her ears.

"Miss Renea, are you alright? Someone just came in front of our car, so I had to use the emergency brake."

The driver's words snapped her back to reality. Hearing them, Renea paused. This scene felt eerily familiar...

She turned to look out the window and was shocked by the view. She recognized this road-she could never forget it. It was the road she had traveled seven years ago to bring Kailey into the Morris family.

'Was I reborn? Did God give me another chance?' Renea thought, pinching herself to check. As soon as she did, she felt a pain...

After confirming that she was not dreaming and it was true, Renea turned her gaze back to Kailey, her lips curling into a faint smile. But there was nothing warm about it-it was cold and chilling.

Even though she wanted to kill her on the spot, Renea knew it wasn't the right time. Besides, she wasn't going to grant her such an easy death. No, she would make sure Kailey lived a life worse than death itself.

Sensing the cold gaze on her, Kailey raised her head. Her eyes radiated an air of purity and innocence that stirred pity in anyone who looked at her.

In her previous life, Renea had been deceived by those innocent, pitiful eyes and felt guilt. She naively tried to make amends.

But in this life, she knew better. Behind that facade of innocence lay the heart of a snake, ready to strike at any moment.

"Renea, do you think Mom and Dad will like me?" Kailey asked nervously, her hands clenched tightly between her legs.

"Of course, they'll like you. After all, you're their real daughter," Renea replied with a smile.

However, her smiling eyes sent a chill through Kailey's heart. She felt that despite Renea 's friendly appearance, her gaze exuded an unsettling aura.

"Renea, I'm not trying to take Mom and Dad away from you by coming back with you," Kailey said, her voice trembling. "I just want to know what my biological parents look like. I'll be content as long as I can see them."

She sobbed, looking so pitiful that even the driver couldn't help but sympathize with her.

Renea sneered inwardly as she looked at Kailey's fair, smooth hands. She raised one and commented, "What delicate hands. It looks like your foster parents treated you very well all these years."

Kailey's heart skipped a beat. 'Could it be that Renea suspects something?'

Her mind raced. She remembered the privileges her parents and brother had granted her for years, visiting her every month despite the façade of her being a "lost" daughter.

At first she didn't agree with what her parents were doing, but her grandfather ordered them to do it.

But now that he was gone, she could finally return to the Morris family.

Then Renea should die. Still, Kailey quickly composed herself and answered, "Yes, they were kind to me."

In her past life, Renea hadn't thought much of Kailey's background. She had believed her foster parents' kindness relieved some of her guilt.

But now, she saw the truth clearly. How could someone from an impoverished, chaotic place like River Town have such delicate hands? No matter how kind her foster parents were, it was impossible for her to avoid household chores altogether.

Such smooth hands could only be maintained by someone who had never done any household chores.

Besides, Kailey was also proficient in piano, chess, dancing, and painting, which was not something the impoverished in the poor town could afford.

And the timing of the revelation-that Kailey was the real Morris daughter-had always been suspicious. Why had the truth surfaced mere weeks after her grandfather's death?

Renea still remembered that fateful day when Susan had taken her to donate blood.

She was sure that it was all part of their scheme to expose her true identity.

After all, how could a daughter who had been lost for eighteen years be found within just two weeks of the discovery that Renea was not their biological daughter?

Thinking of all this now, Renea's lips curled up into a mocking smile.

Renea wasn't mocking Kailey-she was mocking herself.

"How could I have been so blind in my past life?" Renea thought bitterly. The truth had always been there, but she had refused to see it.

For seven years, she had failed to see through their schemes and had willingly jumped into the fire pit they had dug for her.

'But this time will be different,' Renea vowed.

'First, I'll uncover what forced the Morris family into such a compromising situation.'
