“Lenny, I’m not telling you to hand over your engagement to Ava for nothing. I will make it up to you…” The familiar voice echoed in her ears, and the pain made Lena snap her eyes open. In a daze, she realized with a jolt that she had been sent back in time to exactly one month before her wedding to Henry. Her father, Chase Johnson’s earnest, pleading expression was identical to the one in her memories when he had forced her to give up her engagement. “Fine,” Lena said, her voice slightly hoarse as she abruptly cut him off. Chase could not hide the joy on his face. “Lenny, you’ve finally come to your senses!” A cold, detached look flickered in Lena’s eyes, and her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. “I want one billion dollars–” “One billion? Have you lost your mind?” Before she could even finish her sentence, her father's face turned a deep, angry purple, the veins on his temples bulging out. Lena casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, taking her time to finish the rest of her sentence. “Plus, a legally binding document cutting all ties with you. We will no longer be father and daughter.”

Chapter 1
Chase Johnson’s face twisted in rage, and his hand shook violently as he pointed a finger at his daughter, Lena Johnson. “You ungrateful brat! Do you know what you’re saying?”“Of course I do!”Lena looked up, hatred burning in her eyes. “From the day you cheated on my mom while she was pregnant, killing her and my unborn sibling, you lost the right to be my father! Besides, you only consider Ava as your daughter anyway. You’re even forcing me to give up my marriage to the Hale family just for her sake. Since that’s the case, what difference does it make whether we officially cut ties or not?“Those are my two conditions, and I won’t settle for less,” she added, her tone laced with impatience as she leaned in slightly. “So, tell me. Do we have a deal or not?”Chase’s face turned ashen, and his chest heaved with fury. It took him a long moment to squeeze the words through his clenched teeth. “Fine! We cut ties! Don’t you dare regret this! I’ll need some time to pull together one b

Chapter 2
The luxury car sped down the highway. Henry glanced at Ava in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror, then leaned close to Lena’s ear, lowering his voice.“Lenny, why did you want to bring her along?”Lena noticed his furrowed brow. Whenever he spoke of Ava, his face carried that same old look of impatience, as though he genuinely loathed her very existence.He was certainly a great actor. He was so good that he had successfully blinded her for three whole years in her past life. It was not until she stumbled upon that two-year-old child on the street that she realized their relationship had been broken all along.Lena lowered her gaze, her voice flat. “Don’t you always complain about how clingy she is? I want her to see that you’re marrying me, and maybe then she’ll finally give up.”A look of unease crossed Henry’s face for a split second. His lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he let the explanation slide.Once they arrived, Henry led Lena in

Lena did not bother going back to the Johnson estate. Instead, she drove straight to the small apartment she had purchased with her own money. By the time she threw herself onto the soft bed, the night was dark.Since the afternoon, Henry had not contacted her to check in on her or explain himself. He had not even bothered to ask why she left. Lena stared at her phone screen for a long time, so long that her eyes began to water. Finally, she tossed the phone to the side, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.The next morning, she was woken up by a barrage of loud noises from the living room. Walking out to investigate, she was shocked to see Henry supervising a group of movers carrying boxes into her apartment.The moment he spotted her, Henry quickly strode over and grabbed her hands, looking guilty.“Lenny, I’m so sorry about yesterday. Something urgent came up at the company, and I had to rush off before I could tell you. I only found out later that there was an earthquak

Chapter 4
Lena found herself taken aback. Watching the comfortable, familiar way Ava was laughing and chatting with Henry’s friends, it was obvious that this was not her first time hanging out with them.When exactly had Henry brought her into his inner circle? Lena had not suspected a single thing. When those exact friends used to welcome her into their circle, had they all been secretly mocking her, laughing at how completely oblivious she was to her fiancé’s straying affection?Her fingernails dug deeply into her palms as she stared fixedly at the scene inside the private room. They were currently playing Truth or Dare, and the spinning liquor bottle came to a steady halt right in front of Ava. The dare written on the card seemed to make Ava uncomfortable, and the surrounding crowd immediately started chanting for her to take a penalty shot instead.Ava blinked her tear-filled eyes at Henry. Without any hesitation, Henry grabbed the glass of liquor from the table and downed it. Setting the

Chapter 5
Lena watched helplessly as the bracelet fell to the ground. The string snapped, and the wooden beads rolled all over the ground. In the ensuing chaos, someone stepped on them, and several beads were instantly crushed into fine powder.She stared blankly at the shattered remains, completely oblivious to Henry bending down to pick up the fallen Ava. The shouting around her suddenly felt miles away. The only thing she could hear was a persistent, piercing buzzing in her ears, and everything in front of her was a blur. Nothing felt real. Henry shielded Ava in his arms and looked down at her, asking, “Are you hurt?”Seeing Ava shake her head, he frowned and turned to Lena.Trying to suppress the fury in his voice, he said, “Lenny, she was about to give it back to you. Why did you have to push her?”Those words felt like a needle, breaking Lena out of the numbness. Her gaze slowly drifted down to Henry’s feet. One of the crushed wooden beads was embedded right into the sole of his shoe

Chapter 6
Early the next morning, Lena was taken away by Henry’s men. She struggled with all her might, but her resistance only earned her a tighter, more painful grip. Before she could even shout for help a second time, a sharp blow struck the back of her neck, and the world went black.When she finally regained consciousness, she was surrounded by pitch darkness. Fists rained down on her body. The dull thuds of the blows mixed with her stifled groans of agony, and the pain was unbearable.Panic washed over Lena, and she could not help but scream out, “Who are you people? Why did you kidnap me?”The only response she received was an even more brutal beating. When the sickening crack of a dislocated bone echoed in her ears, Lena’s vision went white, and cold sweat instantly drenched her clothes. By the time the two-hour torture session finally ended, she was slumped on the freezing ground, too weak to even move a finger. Just then, someone kicked her in the side. As she curled up in pain, s

Chapter 7
In the video, Henry was wearing loose loungewear and was focused on stirring a pot of soup on the stove.The camera shook slightly, and Ava’s sweet voice echoed from the speakers. “Henry, didn’t you say you were supposed to be with Lena today? What is she going to do now that you’re over at my place instead?”Henry did not even look up from the stove when he replied, “If she gets tired of waiting, she’ll just head home. There’s no need to worry about her.”After a brief pause, he casually added, “Lenny has a very strong-willed nature. No one can push her around, whether I’m there or not. You, on the other hand, have such a weak constitution, yet you’re always out and about.”The video cut off right there, but Lena’s hands would not stop shaking. She had waited from day to night, standing alone at the cemetery gates for hours. Yet, to him, her agonizing wait amounted to nothing more than a dismissive, “If she gets tired of waiting, she’ll just head home.”Lena suddenly felt like a

Chapter 8
Lena sat alone on the bench in the police station, wrapped in a jacket a female officer had handed her, her body still trembling uncontrollably. Not far away, a few thugs were crouching in the corner, getting aggressively chewed out by a police officer.When Henry rushed into the station, his eyes immediately fell on Lena’s disheveled state. The cut on her hand was still oozing blood, her right ankle was swollen, and her dress was stained with dirt and grass blades. Frowning, he walked over quickly and bent down in front of her.“Lenny, what happened? Did you get into trouble again?”When he received the call from the station, he did not even listen to the full details before racing over in a panic.Lena raised her eyes, her gaze hollow. If she had not managed to grab her phone off the ground while fighting for her life, and if a passing patrol car had not happened to spot her, she probably would not have made it through. Yet, Henry’s very first reaction was to assume she had cause

Chapter 9
Henry rushed back to the office, where work buried him alive. Documents were piled high across his desk. He flipped through them page by page until his eyes grew strained. Finally, he paused and glanced out the window.Right at that moment, a plane flew across the sky, its tail leaving a long white trail against the deep blue sky. For some reason, a sudden, sharp pang pierced Henry’s chest. An inexplicable sense of unease began to spread in his heart, as if something of the utmost importance were slipping away from him.Frowning, he pressed a hand against his chest, and Lena’s face instantly flooded his mind. In a daze, he remembered that she had muttered something right before he left her apartment. Her voice had been so faint that he could not catch it at the time, and now, no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall what she said.Henry’s grip on his pen tightened. Something felt deeply wrong. Was she still angry? Lena had always had a willful, spoiled streak. Whenever she f

Chapter 10
Henry stayed in Malkovia for two days, using his connections to secure a VIP pass to the auction house. At precisely eight-thirty that evening, he made his entrance. Dressed in a black suit, he stood tall and carried himself with composure. Several socialites stepped up to flirt with him, but he merely raised his hand, flashing the ring on his middle finger. “Sorry,” he said flatly. “I’m engaged.”Seeing that, the socialites could only slink away in disappointment.When the sapphire necklace was finally brought onto the stage, the entire room erupted. The natural sapphire was crystal clear and free of any impurities. Bidding quickly escalated into a frenzy, driving the price sky-high.Henry sat calmly in the upper tier, waiting until the bidding finally began to slow before leisurely raising his paddle.“One billion!”The room instantly fell silent. In the end, Henry got exactly what he wanted, taking home the necklace for the staggering price of one billion dollars.Grant had
