My wife accidentally killed our daughter while she was dieting for her lover.
Our daughter's body lay on the floor.
At that time, my wife was wearing a beautiful dress and enjoying a vacation with her lover and her lover's son.
Later, the forensic examination revealed that our daughter was starved to death.
I filed a lawsuit against my wife.
I would make sure that both she and her lover pay the price!

At nine o'clock in the evening, the plane landed. I missed my daughter so much that I wanted to rush home immediately.
Ten days ago, I was on a business trip. Due to the particularity of the experiment, my phone was taken away and I was isolated from the outside.
The moment I got my phone back, I messaged Veda Swain to ask about our daughter's condition, but she never replied.
The surveillance camera at home couldn't connect either, and I felt a little uneasy.
"Kane Salazar, are you annoying? Are you going to keep calling me?"
On the way home, I called my wife more than ten times before she answered.
There was anger in her tone at being interrupted.
"Where are you now?"
"What does it have to do with you? Are you crazy for calling so many times? Can't you let me have a peaceful vacation? I think you are deliberately making it difficult for me!"
Veda scolded angrily.
When I heard she was on vacation, I was anxious and quickly asked, "You're on vacation? Where is Anna? Is she with you?"
"Crazy, why would I bring a burden when I have a vacation? She is disobedient and not cute. It would be embarrassing for me to bring her out."
Veda's words were full of dislike for our daughter.
"How old is Anna? How can you let her stay at home alone?"
I immediately panicked.
......
"The nanny is at home. Is it necessary for you to shout at me for such a small matter? You are rude..."
I asked the driver to drive faster, and the feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.
Before Veda could finish speaking, I heard a man's clear voice.
"Veda, who are you talking to on the phone?"
"Just a friend."
It turned out that after being married for five years and raising a child with her, I was just her "friend".
But I couldn't afford to care about these anymore.
I shouted into the phone, "Veda! Don't you know that the nanny went back to her home a week ago? Anna is only three years old, and you left her alone at home. If anything happens to her, I won't let you go!"
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
After I got my phone, the first thing I saw was a message from the nanny. Her husband had a car accident and she had to resign and rush back to take care of him.
The time was a week ago.
If the nanny sent me a message, it meant she also sent this message to Veda. So, Veda should know it.
Just thinking that Anna had been home alone for almost a week, I was going crazy.
When I got home, I prayed for my daughter's safety while hurriedly opening the door.
Soon, the door opened, and there was silence.
"Anna! Anna, Daddy's back!
Where are you?"
I looked everywhere for my daughter and my face was covered with tears.
My precious daughter, you must be safe.
Finally, I found her in the bedroom on the second floor.
My little girl was lying quietly on the floor, holding a family photo tightly.
I rushed up and held her in my arms, crying uncontrollably.
"Anna, hold on, Dad will take you to the hospital."
I couldn't believe that my daughter had passed away. I believed that as long as I took her to the hospital, she would be able to survive.
I picked up the keys and rushed to the hospital with my daughter in my arms.
"Mr. Salazar, your daughter has been dead for a long time."
"I don't believe it! Doctor, please save her, I'm begging you."
I knelt on the ground, holding the doctor's sleeve and pleading desperately.
The nurse covered my daughter with a white cloth and then called the police under the doctor's instructions.
I stayed with my daughter and refused to leave. I held her hand tightly, as if only in this way could I feel that she hadn't left me.
After a while, the sound of sirens came.
"Sir, when this girl was brought here, she had been dead for more than 24 hours. We suspect that something is wrong with her family, so we called you."
During the police interrogation, I was still in a daze.
I couldn't believe that my daughter had passed away like this. I would never hear her call me daddy again.
Just thinking about this, I couldn't help but cover my face, tears streaming down my face.
The police patted my shoulder and expressed their condolences.
Then they began to ask me questions.
"Your daughter's body has been sent to the forensic department. The results will be available soon.
Tell me, why did you wait so long before sending her to the hospital?"
I wiped away my tears and answered,
"Ten days ago, I went on a business trip to Brodan. Because of the special nature of our work, our superiors kept it confidential. I was completely isolated from the outside during those days and only came back tonight."
"Where is her mother?"
......
"Before I went on the business trip, I entrusted Anna to her. After completing the work, I immediately contacted her, but she never replied. I had to call her more than a dozen times before she answered. When I got home, I found that there was only Anna in the house..."
At this point, I couldn't help but cry again, covering my face.
After comforting me, the police immediately contacted Veda.
"Hello, is this Ms. Swain? We are from the Public Security Bureau of Atalian..."
"What's the matter?"
Veda's tone was as impatient as usual.
Well, she only had enough patience when facing Keegan Spencer.
"Mr. Salazar is..."
As soon as the police officer mentioned my name, Veda immediately became angry.
"Kane, are you crazy? Did you find someone to pretend to be a police officer just to make me go home? What do you want? You only know how to use these despicable means to get my attention."
"Mrs. Salazar, you misunderstood..."
The sir wanted to explain but was interrupted by Veda again.
"Please tell Kane that I've had enough of him! I'll divorce him when I get back from vacation. I don't want that ugly child anymore. After all, she inherited his bad genes. They are liars and will get their comeuppance."
After hanging up the phone, the police officers present were embarrassed, and a young female police officer even felt angry.
How could a mother say such things about her child?
My face turned pale and my heart ached.
Veda and I were classmates in college. She was beautiful and had a rich family. My classmates who knew about it said that I was so lucky to be able to date her.
Three years after graduation, we got married.
I treated Veda well. Because of work, I spent little time at home, so I tried my best to compensate for her and our daughter.
Veda had a lively and unrestrained personality and lived a free life after marriage.
Anna was raised by a nanny.
Veda didn't care about her and even disliked her.
Because she didn't look like what Veda expected.
She liked kids with big eyes, white skin, and who looked like Barbie.
But Anna looked like me. She was not very fair, and Veda didn't like her eyes.
Anna's personality was similar to hers. She was lively and active and didn't like to be restricted.
It was because of this that Veda disliked her even more, thinking that she wasn't disobedient.
Anna was not disobedient, she just wanted to attract her mother's attention in her way.
The children were sensitive, and she knew that her mother disliked her, so she was clingy to me.
I felt sorry for her.
So, I decided to resign, and my boss asked me to submit my resignation application after I returned from this business trip.
Unexpectedly, it was this business trip that caused me to lose my daughter forever.
Suddenly, a friend sent me a screenshot of Veda's Instagram.
She was wearing a bikini and bathing in the sun on the beach. A little boy was standing beside her, drinking coconut juice. A man's hand was touching the boy's head.
She was in Malanie.
I recognized the boy at first sight because he looked a lot like Keegan, especially his eyes.
He had a pair of pretty eyes.
Keegan and Veda were childhood sweethearts. They were in love when they were young, but the relationship ended when Keegan went abroad.
But I knew that after so many years, Veda still liked him.
Keegan became her unattainable love.
Now, she was on vacation with her lover and her lover's son, but her daughter died tragically at home.
How could I not hate her?
Soon, I got the forensic examination results.
Anna starved to death!
The police also told me some of the investigation results.
It turned out that Veda was dieting, she couldn't control herself, so she didn't let Anna eat more.
Now thinking about it, her meticulous weight loss might be just to meet Keegan and his son.
But Anna was a child, she was growing, and every time she cried and wanted to eat, the nanny would secretly take her out to buy snacks.
Until one day, Veda accidentally found it and threw away all the food in the house, only allowing the nanny to buy ingredients for one meal.
Anna cried because she was hungry, but Veda found it annoying and locked her in the room.
Later, when she packed her things and went out, the nanny thought she would be back soon.
Unexpectedly, Veda suddenly had the idea of going to Malanie for vacation.
The nanny was unaware of the situation, and her husband had been in a car accident and the situation was urgent, so after sending a message to us, she packed up and hurried back home.
Anna, who had been starving, stayed alone in that house for seven days.
Until she starved to death.
Knowing the truth, I pounded my chest in regret.
I couldn't even imagine how helpless Anna must have felt at that time. She must have been wondering why her parents didn't come back, and whether we didn't want her anymore.
I regretted it so much!
I regretted that I was on a business trip and didn't rescue Anna in time.
I regretted not divorcing Veda earlier and
I even regretted marrying her.
Anna was a child, she was only three years old, but she died because of her parents.
I would never forgive myself, nor would I let Veda and Keegan go!
I wanted them to pay the price!
After Anna's funeral, Veda had not returned yet, and her Instagram kept updating her happy vacation life.
I put Anna's photo in the living room and carefully wiped it. I tried to keep everything related to Anna in this house as it was.
I believed that one day, Anna would come to find me.
Two days later, Veda was finally coming back.
"Pick me up at the airport at 2 p.m. tomorrow."
Veda removed me from the blacklist and ordered me.
I ignored her. After all, she never cared about me and our daughter.
The next day, Veda angrily opened the door with a suitcase and wearing sunglasses.
She started scolding me as soon as she saw me.
"Kane, are you bold now? Why didn't you reply to my message? Where were you when I asked you to pick up me?"
Her lipstick color was unknown, but her words were so chilling.
I stood up, with a cold expression, and said, "Why did you leave Anna alone at home? Didn't you see the nanny's message?"
This was the first time I spoke to her in such a stern tone.
Veda was surprised, then she took off her sunglasses and looked disdainful.
"What message? Come on! I've already said that I'm on vacation. I don't have time to look at my phone! What? That kid has reported you again?
Kane, I don't know how you educate your child. Anna is not only disobedient but also a liar. She is not as likable as Boris Spencer. Alas, maybe this is the saying 'Like father, like son'. Genes are powerful. Boris is good-looking and much more sensible than Anna."
Veda's face was filled with pride and satisfaction. At that moment, I didn't know who her child was.
Looking at Veda's disgusting face, I was furious.
"Veda! I also want Anna to report to me right now, but do you know that she's dead? While you're enjoying your vacation abroad, she was alone in this house for seven days! You keep talking about genes. Isn't Anna your child? You keep saying she lies, but she just wants you to care more about her! Since you like Keegan and his son so much, let's get divorced and you can marry him!
You don't deserve to be Anna's mother!"
My words were like a bolt from the blue, which made Veda shock.
