The Son-in-Law's Great Revenge

Seven years ago, I spent a romantic night with the wealthy businesswoman Ashley Finch. Soon she gave birth to our daughter, Mia Finch.

I gave up my career and went to her city, and lived in the Finch's house.

However, on the night when Mia was critically ill, Ashley went to take care of her injured first love.

She hated that our daughter was always sick and avoided meeting her.

She also despised me for being a good-for-nothing, unable to give a hand to her career.

Later, our daughter died, and I stopped pretending as well.

She, however, knelt on the ground and pleaded desperately, "Honey, can we start over?"

Lying quietly in the coffin was my seven-year-old daughter, Mia.

I was haggard, with bloodshot eyes, staring at my daughter's pale face in despair.

This was the second day after Mia's death, with attempts to rescue her failing. Mia's mother, my wife Ashley, still did not show up.

Relatives from the Finch family came to comfort me, saying, "Mia has been weak and sick for these past few years, enduring a lot of hardships. Her passing is a relief, so don't be too sad."

"Yeah, Mia has been very lucky. It is her good fortune to have such a great father like you."

I coldly watched their pretended sad expressions, knowing full well how happy and gleeful they were in their hearts.

Mia was born weak and suffered from congenital heart disease. She spent most of her time in the hospital.

Although she was the eldest granddaughter of the Finch family, she was not treated well by them and was not loved by Ashley. My poor girl suffered a lot of grievances.

Whenever I went to the hospital to see her alone, her eyes were wet.

"Dad, when can Mom come and spend time with me? I miss her."

"Good girl, Mia. Your mom is very busy with her company, but she will soon find time to come to see you.

"You need to take medicine and receive treatments properly, and then your mom will appear."

Mia nodded. A hint of guilt flashed in my eyes because I knew that Ashley would not come.

Ashley was an admirable person, with great intelligence and physical strength since childhood.

She couldn't accept the fact that Mia had a congenital disease and did not let anyone know about Mia's illness.

Mia never had breast milk before, and Ashley had never been with Mia, not even for a day.

I asked Ashley to see Mia, but she just answered coldly.

"Didn't I go to see her a few months ago? She is too weak, which is annoying. It's better for her to rest quietly."

But in fact, she hadn't been to the hospital to see Mia for over a year, not to mention to hug her.

Gradually, Mia stopped mentioning Ashley, stopped having any expectations, and always lay on the sickbed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Seven years ago, Ashley and I had a romantic night recklessly, after which she was pregnant with Mia. Then Ashley asked me to marry her, and I agreed.

I went to live in the Finch's house and became the laughingstock among the Finch family.

But I never cared about it for Ashley's sake. I fell in love wi...
