After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

“What’s up, Mrs. Holcomb?” I asked, my voice even icier than before. Knowing she was scheming to get her sister to steal my position just made me even frostier toward her.

I didn’t go looking for trouble, but that didn’t mean I’d let anyone walk all over me.

Sally used to act all friendly with me, but that was never because she was genuinely kind; it was just that I never

got in her way.

And as a daughter–in–law, I always kept to myself and never rocked the boat. Now that there was something at stake, she was treating me like I was her sworn enemy.

Sally snapped, “Victoria, Yvonne’s been pestering me nonstop to see you, and she keeps running off to find you. What did you do to her, brainwash her or something?

“You and Jared are getting divorced, and you claim you don’t want the kid, but here you are, luring Yvonne to your side. It’s honestly ridiculous.”

I shot back, “I never said anything to Yvonne. She came over on her own–and now you’re blaming me for it?” Honestly, I was surprised too that Yvonne kept coming to see me.

Sally said, “You must’ve said something to her. No matter what, she’s still your daughter–just one word from you and she’d go with you in a heartbeat. But she’s a Holcomb, and you’re not taking her with you when you divorce.

“She’s the Holcomb family’s only child now, and you’re not taking her away from us–over my dead body.”

I frowned, not expecting the child to become an obstacle in my divorce. I said, “There’s nothing left to discuss. Call Jared over and let’s talk this out together.

“If you’re worried that I’ll take Yvonne, I can sign a written agreement–promise I won’t try to take her away from
