When Kevin came home that evening, he told me he had accepted the company’s transfer order.
In half a month, after handing over his work, we could leave this place.
Originally, it would have been most stable for Kevin to stay local. If it weren’t for my constant yielding, it wouldn’t have fueled Amber’s arrogant behavior.
From the time we first got married, when she proposed sharing the wedding venue to save money.
But she used the venue I had carefully selected to hold her ceremony first.
By the time Kevin and I walked down the aisle, the guests had already started to leave.
Later, when I was pregnant and bought a lot of supplements due to my poor health, she naturally took some away.
Time and time again, taking things from me became a matter of course.

If I hadn’t been reborn, I probably would have continued to give in.
The next day, just as I was about to drive the car to the used car dealership, I found several deep scratches on the body, as if made by some sharp object. A large patch of paint had also fallen off the surface.
I looked around and noticed that the security camera facing the parking spot was blocked by a balloon.
It was clearly planned by someone.
Just yesterday I said I was going to sell the car, and today this happened.
I steadied myself, holding my belly, trying to stay calm.
Just as I was about to call the insurance company to report it, Amber came running from afar.
When she saw the car, a flash of satisfaction crossed her eyes.
“Snow, what happened to your car?”
“I don’t know, someone scratched it.”
She smirked, her eyes fixed on the car body:
“How careless. With the car scratched like this, can you even sell it today?”
Seeing her like this, I suddenly wasn’t angry anymore. I waved my hand at her:
“It’s fine. Kevin installed a dashcam for safety when I got pregnant. This is clearly malicious damage. Once I send the dashcam footage to the insurance company, they’ll easily find the culprit.”
Amber froze. Seeing that I was about to make a call, she panicked and pressed down on my hand:
“Snow, don’t be so hasty to call the insurance company. The scratches don’t look that deep. You can just touch up the paint yourself.”
I pretended to be angry and raised my voice:
“Amber, what are you saying? Malicious damage to someone else’s property is a crime. It could even lead to jail time. How can I let someone like that continue to commit crimes? Besides, with the car scratched like this, I probably can’t get a good price even if I sell it.”
Hearing me mention crime, Amber’s face turned even paler:

“People are so unstable these days. You’re pregnant now. If someone retaliates against you, it won’t be worth it.”
I shook my head:
“We live in a society governed by law. What is there to be afraid of?”
Amber suddenly snatched the phone from my hand:
“Snow, didn’t you say yesterday you wanted to sell the car to me? I’ve thought about it, and your car is really nice. When should we go transfer
the title?”
I pretended to be troubled:
“But the car is in this state now. Are you sure you want to buy it, Amber? Maybe we should wait until I find out who scratched it before we
discuss this.”
Amber quickly waved her hands:
“My brother needs a car urgently. These small scratches are nothing. Let’s go to the DMV this afternoon to transfer the title.”
I could only nod reluctantly:
J
“Alright, if that’s what you want.”
After transferring the title that afternoon, Amber’s face turned pale as she quickly got into the car to check the dashcam.
Not long after, she let out a shrill scream:
“Snow, why isn’t your dashcam turned on?”
I chuckled, looking innocent:
“Oh, maybe I forgot to turn it on. I haven’t driven this car in a long time.”
With that, I hailed a taxi and went home.
I didn’t bother with Amber’s impotent rage behind me.
On the way home, I admired the scenery along the road, feeling great.
It was the first time I had gotten the upper hand with Amber.
