Two Lives in Exchange for True Love

"My apologies, Ms. Jennings, but you're not allowed to enter without an invitation," the security guard said coldly as he blocked me at the entrance.

This was the product launch that my parents had worked tirelessly to organize for Jasper Swanson. They poured a bunch of resources and funds into this, and yet, I wasn't invited. However, deep down, I felt a surge of joy. Because just a moment ago, I had been reborn, back to the day of the product launch.

My family's status and wealth far exceeded that of the Swansons. Yet, I had always chased after Jasper, even though his heart only belonged to his first love, Coco Young. I never gave up, no matter how indifferent he was toward me.

His mother, Valerie Morrison, was more than happy to approve of our relationship. As soon as Coco went abroad, they eagerly pushed for us to get engaged. However, Jasper never once looked at me with anything but disdain.

Having witnessed me being snubbed countless times before, the security guard had no respect for me either. "Why are you putting yourself through this, Ms. Jennings?" he asked, his tone dripping with mockery.

People with invitations, who were dressed to the nines, walked past me one after another. Some recognized me and whispered behind my back.

In my previous life, I was also stopped from entering the launch. I was wearing a couture gown, and I shivered in the cold wind while enduring their scorn and ridicule.

I fainted eventually and was taken to the hospital, only to find out I was pregnant. Jasper's expression stiffened right away, while Valerie was overjoyed and immediately announced that our wedding would take place in a month.

Coco unexpectedly caused quite a commotion at our wedding. With tears in her eyes, she leapt off the rooftop.

Jasper acted as if nothing had happened, and our wedding went on as planned. After our baby was born, we seemed like a happy family of three. I thought everything was behind us and we'd be the happiest family.

However, on our wedding anniversary, he took me and the baby to go bungee jumping to celebrate. I didn't suspect a thing. I was thrilled. Then, the moment before we jumped, he cut the rope behind our backs.

As I lay dying, I saw the hatred burning in his eyes. "If you hadn't trapped me with that baby, Coco wouldn't have died! Do you seriously think someone like you deserves to have my child? What a joke.

"Just looking at you both for the past few years has disgusted me! Go to hell and apologize to Coco!"

That was when I realized that everything he had said over the years had been a lie. All these years, he had blamed Coco's death on me and our child.

Even after I died, he didn't spare my parents. After using them, he turned on them. He left them ruined and destitute.

In this life, all I wanted was to stay far away from Jasper and protect myself and my family.
