Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 55 I’m Gonna Scream

Losing something usually meant it could be replaced, but this time, it was different. Without a registered permanent residence, Eileen had no means of recovering her lost wallet, and she didn’t want to return to the dealer.

Eileen had never been patient with Hannah, often choosing to turn a blind eye to her actions to avoid conflict. If she had followed her usual temperament, she might have reacted impulsively, possibly even covering the trash can over his head.

“Hannah, my mother’s photo is in that wallet, and it’s important to me, along with some essential documents… If you need money, I can give it to you. The rest isn’t valuable to you. Just give it back, please!” Eileen pleaded.

Hannah kicked open the trash can by his feet, and its contents spilled out. He retorted angrily, “Eileen, what are you talking about? I didn’t take your wallet! Why are you accusing me? If you don’t believe me, call the police!”

Eileen’s voice echoed throughout the store, attracting attention from others

present.

Feeling agitated, Eileen ran her hands through her hair in frustration and said, “Hannah, I’ve never meddled in your affairs before, right? If you want that hand cream, I can give it to you. Just return the wallet, and I’ll pretend nothing happened.”

“Eileen, I swear I didn’t take your wallet! Why are you so intent on framing me?!” Hannah protested.

Mr. Samuel heard the commotion and hurriedly approached, asking, “What’s going on?”

“Miss, aren’t you supposed to work the evening shift? Why are you here so early today?” Mr.

Samuel asked.

Eileen replied honestly, “Mr. Samuel, I lost my wallet. There’s a very important photo and my ID inside. I was planning to come here to resign and go back to my grandma’s place, but without my ID, I can’t even buy a ticket.”

Concerned, Mr. Samuel asked, “Why do you want to leave? What happened?”

Eileen did not want to discuss the events from last night as thinking about them only made her uncomfortable. So, she avoided the topic and kept it to herself.

started taking them without permission. When Eileen gently reminded her to ask for permission before using her belongings again, Hannah became angry and started spreading rumors about her. She falsely accused Eileen of being unhygienic and flirtatious with men, trying to tarnish her reputation.
