Dreams Come True

"Sophia, Mr. Everton was hit by a heavy object at the construction site. He’s been rushed to the hospital. You need to come immediately!" Quinn Blanchett’s voice trembled while holding a hint of tears.Hearing her familiar voice, I couldn’t help but shiver."Alright, Quinn, I’ll head there now. Make sure the doctors spare no effort, no matter the cost!"After hanging up, my mind raced. In my previous life, Lannister wasn’t actually injured. Quinn had deliberately called, claiming he was hit on the head by falling debris at the site. She had said that his injuries were severe.In my panicked rush to the hospital, someone pushed me down the stairs and I was knocked unconscious.When I woke up, they told me that Lannister had already been buried. I never saw his body—just a gravestone.Thankfully, heaven gave me a second chance. This time, I’d make them pay!As I stepped out of my office, I saw my mother-in-law, Serena Everton, coming out of the CEO’s office."Mom! Thank goodness

“How could this be? The sedative dosage wasn’t even that high! Why hasn’t he woken up yet? Lannister, wake up now, or you’ll be cremated alive!” Quinn stared at Lannister in disbelief, shaking him violently.“I already told you he’s dead. Stop deluding yourself. Just let them take him out and cremate him!” I gently blocked her and signaled the staff to push Lannister’s "body" away quickly.Quinn struggled desperately. “No! He’s not dead! He’s really not dead!”I watched her scream and shout hysterically, a faint smile playing on my lips. Regardless, Lannister was going to die for real that day.I climbed into the hearse and headed to the crematorium. Quinn followed us closely, frantically calling Serena. “Chairwoman, something terrible has happened! Sophia is taking Lannister to the crematorium! She’s going to burn him alive! Hurry and stop that lunatic, or Lannister will really die!”Panting heavily, Serena almost threw her phone upon hearing this. Ignoring Quinn’s call, she quic

"Let me in! I need to see Madam Serena!" Quinn bit the bodyguard’s hand angrily.“Let her in,” Serena commanded. Her expression grew tense, feeling the weight of the curious gazes around her. She knew Quinn wasn’t someone who’d back down quietly, especially not at a memorial service.“Mom! This woman fired me! You have to stand up for me. I even gave birth to a child for Lannister...” Dressed in white, Quinn knelt before Serena, sobbing uncontrollably.“Shut up! Who do you think you are to make a scene at Lannister’s memorial?” I stepped forward and slapped her across the face.Then, leaning close to Serena, I whispered, “Mom, Lannister is gone. We can’t let her tarnish his name. There are many influential guests here today. We can’t let them see this mess.”Serena glanced at the surrounding guests, who were now murmuring amongst themselves. Her face darkened as she made her decision. “From now on, Sophia will handle all company matters. If she’s decided to fire you, it’s because

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone’s eyes turned to us. I maintained my smile, giving nothing away, not even a hint of anger.Meanwhile, Quinn pranced around like a little dog with its tail wagging, eagerly showcasing her newfound closeness with Serena to anyone willing to notice. It was as if stepping on me would somehow elevate her standing."That’s great, my dear Quinn! I’ve been hoping for someone to help me out!" I warmly grasped Quinn’s hand, my eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. Of course, I was thrilled for someone to take over the mess I’d left behind.“Stop pretending. I know you’re up to no good!” Quinn yanked her hand away and wandered off, wine in hand, mingling among the crowd.A business partner came over to console me, “Ms. Sophia, don’t get upset. Madam Serena really handled this poorly.”I shook my head. “How could Mom ever be wrong?”Satisfied that I hadn’t openly defied her, Serena nodded approvingly before hurrying off to check on her precious grandson
