Before my birthday party, Grandpa and I talked about my engagement in his study. He asked me which one from the Zachary family I intended to marry. Without hesitation, I chose Matthew Zachary—a decision that shocked Grandpa. After all, everyone in the circle knew that I was deeply in love with Jeffrey Zachary and would not marry anyone else. In a past life, I married Jeffrey Zachary, but later found out he had a relationship with Rosalie Larson. He begged for forgiveness, saying it was an accident. He tearfully knelt and begged for my forgiveness. "I beg you. It was really just an accident." Despite me forgiving him, Grandpa still found out and ordered someone to send Rosalie away. Jeffrey wrongly thought I was behind it and hated me for it. Over time, the elders in my family passed away one after another; rivals got ahead in business, and the company’s secrets were stolen. Tragically, I was killed when I found out I was pregnant. In my new life, I gave my blessing to Jeffrey and Rosalie. Unexpectedly, Jeffrey crashed my engagement party and proposed to me.
View MoreJeffrey seemed flustered, but he continued to deny the accusations."The photos could be doctored. But what about the hotel check-in records and surveillance footage?" I questioned, tapping on my phone once more. The screen revealed a series of records and videos showing Jeffrey and Rosalie embracing as they entered hotel rooms.The hotel happened to be one of the key properties owned by the Zachary family. Jeffrey was caught off guard when Matthew swiftly gained control of the Zachary Group's crucial departments in just a month and accessed this information.Netizens were also in an uproar."Whoa, what a twist! This guy seems to be a player as well!""What the heck? He claims to be deeply in love with her while clinging to another woman. Who can stand that? If it were me, I wouldn't dare to marry him either!""Ah, a plot twist? So has Ms. Hannah ever been pregnant with his baby?""I don't know. High society is really chaotic."Jeffrey seemed to be exhausted. He never expected
As soon as the screen came on, the guests erupted into discussions.It was Jeffrey stirring things up. "Everyone, gather around and witness the private deeds of this deceitful and adulterous duo, Hannah and Matthew!"As Jeffrey spoke, some childhood photos of Jeffrey and me were displayed on the big screen.As Jeffrey narrated, childhood photos of us flashed on the screen."See, Hannah and I have been together since childhood. She's my lifelong love. I wanted to marry her too. But imagine my shock when this interloper, Matthew, lured her away. They had an affair, even schemed to snatch my inheritance. How can such despicable individuals lead Larson Group and inherit Zachary Group?" Jeffrey sobbed, his emotional act swaying the crowd."I heard before that the Larson family's heiress was going to marry Jeffrey. Somehow, her fiancé suddenly became Matthew.""I've never heard of Matthew Zachary. He came out of nowhere. Could he really be the other guy?""I guess so. These two grew u
"Even if you disagree, I'll only give up marriage. I'll find other businesses, but I can't go against my will and be with him," I clarified, concerned about his reaction."But didn't you have strong feelings for him in the past?" Matthew countered.I once had loving parents who set a high standard. After my mother's death, I strived for an ideal that turned out to be a facade, only realizing the truth upon my death."I was young then. Life feels empty without a genuine passion to drive you. I came to understand that it wasn't genuine love," I replied.Matthew and I made a three-year agreement. If we found that we were not suitable for each other after three years, we would set each other free. He still did not tell me why he agreed to my proposal. However, I had a lifetime to explore in this life.Our marriage had been arranged, and the engagement celebration was set for the following month.Hector and George hoped to make it a grand affair.Today, when I was finalizing details
Jeffrey stared at me with wide eyes, looking panicked. "No, Hannah. I've always wanted to marry you. How could you..."He paused, and a realization seemed to dawn on him. "I get it now. You're upset because I didn't support you earlier, so you're trying to provoke me by involving Matthew, right? And you're still angry about me leaving with Rosalie and ignoring you the other day... Hannah, Rosalie and I were just teasing you on purpose. You're the one I truly love!"I gave him a cold look. "Jeffrey, mind your words. It doesn't matter who you have feelings for. I only want to marry Matthew."Jeffrey went into a frenzy upon hearing my response. He struggled hard to grab me. "Hannah, you can't be so cold and heartless to me. How could you treat me like this?"Julia intervened swiftly. She had always been a friend to me, in this life and the previous one. In the past, she had warned me multiple times about Jeffrey, but I had disregarded her advice. Eventually, the Lewis family's empire
The party commenced, and the guests took their seats. They offered their blessings to Grandpa, who responded politely with small talk.As I gazed at Matthew seated across from me, Jeffrey interrupted me.Dismissing his cousin, who seldom visited, he murmured to me, "I can make it up to you for what happened earlier, but you must announce today that Rosalie will join Larson Group. Otherwise, our engagement won't proceed smoothly."I said nothing and just watched some of the people around me compliment Jeffrey.Suddenly, Grandpa said solemnly, "My granddaughter isn't little anymore. It's time for her to get married." Grandpa looked at Hector as he spoke.Jeffrey casually fixed his hair in response."Since Hannah and Matthew are in love with each other, I decide to arrange the engagement for them. I'll transfer the shares at the same time. Larson Group will be handed over to Hannah from now on." After Grandpa finished speaking, the guests applauded enthusiastically. Everyone suddenl
Jeffrey stepped in to shield Rosalie and gave me a stern look. "Is this how the Larson family cultivate their heiress?"Jeffrey had come to console me after the incident at the birthday party.However, Rosalie's deliberate actions caused new trouble between us. I chose to disengage from the conversation. In order not to waste time with them, I pushed Jeffrey aside and locked eyes with Rosalie. "Hand over the brooch!"A flicker of guilt crossed Rosalie's face, but with Jeffrey by her side, she regained her confidence. "Jeffrey bought it for me. Hannah, you're being petty. You have plenty of nice things. Why do you want to take mine?""Oh, really? Where was it purchased? What brand is it? Can you provide details? Someone, restrain her and retrieve the brooch!" I commanded the bodyguards to act, but Jeffrey immediately shielded Rosalie. "Who dares to do so! I'm Jeffrey Zachary from the Zachary family! Hurting me would insult the Zachary family! Hannah, let me tell you. I bought her
