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

No matter what she was planning, I had to be prepared. I packed a voice recorder and some pepper spray in my bag. ‘Whatever happens, I have to face her,‘ Victoria told herself.

By around eleven, I arrived at the tea house.

It was an upscale spot, with plenty of guests having business discussions in the lobby. A waiter came over politely to ask if I needed anything.

I ordered a cup of coffee and sat down to wait.

Was Isabelle going to demand I leave Braylin forever, or ban me from ever seeing anyone from the Jennings family again? I had no clue what she’d pull today.

If that’s all she wanted, it wouldn’t even bother me. Honestly, that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking anyway.

Just after noon, Isabelle walked in.

She came alone, flashed me a smug smile, and slapped a pile of photos down in front of me. “Punctual, huh? Maybe I’ll let you off the hook.”

I picked up the photos and flipped through them—they were all explicit, totally NSFW. My heart skipped a beat, almost stopped cold.

I stared her down. “Just tell me what you want. Name your terms.”

“That’s it. You can go now,” Isabelle said, getting to her feet. “Victoria, are you really never going to see Uncle Ryan again?”

“I won’t!” I shot back.

“Oh, really?” Isabelle turned, giving me a sly look. “What if he shows up to see you?”

I froze, unable to answer.
