Dennis Slater came from a poor family, and I had supported him countless times.?
But to marry his first love, he poisoned me at my 30th birthday party.?
It was only then that I realized he had always hated me for breaking up him and his childhood sweetheart, Hazel Hubbard, and that giving him money was just an insult to him.
Reborn back to the day I was supposed to meet his parents, I stood outside the private room and heard Dennis speak to his mom with disgust.?
"Christine can't hold a candle to Hazel. The thought of spending my life with her makes me want to die."
His mom tried to comfort him. "Just bear with it a little longer. Once you've used her money to buy a house, start a company, and then get her to introduce a rich man to your sister, you can dump her and be with Hazel."
Hearing this, I laughed.?
Yeah, right.?
If you think you and your shameless family can take another cent from me, you've got another thing coming.?
If I don't destroy all of you in this life, I've lived in vain.

Watching Dennis playing the decent guy in the private room, I felt a wave of hatred so strong that I wanted to rush in and tear him apart.?
But just taking his pathetic life wouldn't be enough.?
I had to ruin his whole family to quench my anger.
I walked into the room as if nothing had happened.?
Dennis saw me and turned his face away with a cold snort, clearly not wanting to talk to me.?
Dennis's mom sat in the main seat, her face darkening when she saw me, her eyes narrowing with disdain.?
His sister, Nina Slater, smirked and said, "Christine, nobody arrived late the first time they met their future in-laws. You're so rude. Hurry up and apologize to my mom."
Dennis also looked up at me with disdain. "Christine Carter, apologize to my mom."
I snorted inside.?
They were really putting on a show to humiliate me right from the start.?
I resisted the urge to kill them all and glanced at the Patek Philippe on my wrist.
"Dennis, didn't you say dinner was at six? How is arriving at five-thirty considered late?
"Are you retarded or what? You got the time wrong and then asked me to apologize? Are you crazy?"
"Christine, are you out of your mind today? How dare you talk back to me!"?
Dennis instantly got angry.?
He stood up and glared at me, not understanding why I, who had always obeyed him, was suddenly rebelling.
Sensing something was off, Dennis's cunning mom quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile.?
"No, no, you're not late. We just arrived early. Christine, come sit down.
"Sit here with me."
She beckoned me to sit while giving Dennis meaningful looks to calm him down.?
It took some effort, but she finally got Dennis to sit back down.
As I sat down, I glanced at the table full of food. Wow, they had ordered the most expensive items on the menu.?
But I couldn't eat any of it.
Abalone, king crab, lobster—every kind of seafood filled the table.?
Dennis knew I was allergic to seafood.
