Chapter 2

Henry gazed at Ellie, promising with deep affection, "Ellie, no matter what happens, our engagement still stands."

Brad also looked at her, his tone equally firm, "Ellie, I will marry you. I am a man of my word!"

Ellie hesitated for a long time. Brad and Henry were both famous mafia dons in Iacon, capable of making all the girls go crazy.

She quickly weighed it in her mind and soon made a decision.

Her voice trembled as she said to Henry, "I'm sorry, Henry. Brad and I... have already crossed the line. I can only choose Brad."

Ellie walked toward me and placed my hand into Henry's palm.

"It's all because of me that things turned out like this. Henry, my sister is very good. Marry her. Consider it as making up for my mistake."

"Nonsense!"

Brad was the first to pull a long face, his voice as cold as ice.

"Ellie, you don't need to make it up to anyone. This matter is my responsibility..."

He looked straight at Henry, his gaze sharp.

"Three shipping lines in the South Port, plus two weapons depots, are all yours. Consider it compensation."

Everyone gasped. Such compensation was truly shocking.

However, Henry only sneered. "Do you think I lack these?"

The two men's gazes met once again, sparks flying.

I suddenly spoke up, "If Henry is willing, I'll marry him."

Everyone froze. Brad snapped his head around to look at me.

"Amy, do you know what you are saying? The person Henry likes is Ellie. Knowing that, you still want to marry him?"

I lowered my eyes, unconsciously thinking of Henry's ending in my previous life.

To avenge Ellie, he did not hesitate to break into the Henderson family manor with a gun, but in the end, he lost.

The Casio family empire was swallowed. His trusted men either died or scattered, and Henry, once a high and mighty mafia don, was cast out.

In this life, I would just consider it as paying back a debt.

Henry suddenly laughed. He held my hand, his eyes filled with interest.

"Failing to marry Ellie is indeed a pity, but marrying Brad's ex-fiancée seems quite good too."

Brad's face instantly darkened.

"Henry, she is not a tool for you to take revenge on me."

Henry scoffed, "Brad, weren't you quick to snatch my fiancée? What are you pretending to be now?"

He stopped looking at Brad, whose face had turned suddenly pale, and turned around to say to me gently.

"Since you are willing to marry, starting from today, you are my donna, the future matriarch of the Casio family."

Brad stared fixedly at me, gritting his teeth as he said, "Amy, you'd better think it through carefully. You will definitely regret this."

"I won't regret it."

I did not even give Brad a single glance.

Instead, I looked at Henry, saying seriously, "Henry, I'm not doing this out of spite, nor am I trying to take revenge on anyone. Marrying you is a decision I made after serious consideration."

Henry stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.

"Interesting. It seems the most sober person today is you."

Brad's face completely cooled down, and he let out a cold laugh.

"Amy, since this is your choice, no matter what happens in the future, don't come looking for me. Let's see how long you can last."

He pulled Ellie and walked straight out.

For some reason, Brad's reaction made Ellie feel a faint unease in her heart.

"Brad, if you can't let go of my sister, it's still not too late to go back now."

She looked up at Brad, her eyes full of tears.

"I don't want to make you make a decision you'll regret because of me. If the person you truly like is still my sister, I'm willing to step back."

The hesitation in Brad's eyes quickly disappeared. He held Ellie's hand, his voice incomparably firm.

"In this life, I will not let anything happen to you again. I chose you, and I won't ever regret it. As for Amy..."

He paused for a moment, his tone full of certainty, "She's just acting out of spite. Once she calms down, she will come back to find me."

In his heart, I was still the Amy from the previous life, who only had eyes for him.

"It's impossible for Amy to marry anyone else. She will soon regret today's decision. When that time comes, I will give her a sum of money, enough for her to be free from worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

"But what if..."

"There is no what-if. She won't marry Henry. Absolutely not."
