Last Chance is Mine

I instinctively stroked the scar on my neck, it was the mark left after the System repaired me for the fourth time.At that moment, the assistant set the coffee lightly on the desk.“Mr. Greenwood, the cross-border acquisition case was successfully completed.”The sound of porcelain hitting marble made my fingertips tremble.A business partner teased Ben Greenwood, “Mr. Greenwood, you have both a talented consultant and a beautiful secretary. You always get the good-looking girls, you lucky brat.”He bumped Ben’s shoulder, but was cut off by Ben’s icy gaze.Ben shot me a sidelong glance, his eyes as cold as frost.“You like Jennifer? Want me to introduce her to you so you can also taste what it feels like to be betrayed by family and watch your entire family fall?”In an instant, the business partner shut his mouth.Everyone in the company knew that the death of Ben’s first love, Mandy Somerfield, had something to do with me and the only reason he kept me by his side as his se

Ben frowned. “Enough.”I thought he was going to speak up for me, but the next sentence was, “Get out. And don’t bother preparing breakfast anymore.”Riley immediately showed a triumphant smile.My hand froze for a moment, a sharp pain pierced my chest, and I turned to leave the office, but Riley followed me and blocked my way.“Jennifer, don’t you feel ashamed, trailing behind Mr. Greenwood like a little shadow every single day?”Her crimson nails suddenly clamped around my wrist, and the faint scar on her face came close to my eyes.“Do you know how disgusted I feel every time I see Ben staring at you in a daze? I’m clearly the one who looks most like her!”All the blood in my body instantly froze.Under Riley’s wine-red curls, her side profile indeed overlapped with the photo of Mandy on the gravestone.Riley suddenly yanked at her curled hair like a madwoman.“Why? I ruined my face for him, I went into the operating room to turn myself into Mandy, but his eyes are still o

“Everything would get better.”I struggled to put on my formal clothes and lay down in the cold bathtub.I held my phone.The lock screen was still the childhood photo of me and Ben.I opened his WhatsApp, wanting to send him a message.But I discovered that he had blacklisted me.I smiled, turned on the faucet, and while waiting for the tub to fill, I chatted with the System.“I’m going to die again.”“Yes, Host. This is your last chance, but since all your wishes except the first were made for others, you are granted a special permission—this final wish has no restrictions. The last wish would definitely come true, but you yourself would not be able to revive again.” The System hesitated for a long time before speaking. “Host, I suggest you consider wishing to go to another world and start a new life, or perhaps—”It rambled on, truly caring about me.The bathtub had filled, I turned off the faucet, held the fruit knife, and without hesitation, slashed my wrist.Half my wr

“In order not to affect you, we had no choice but to keep it from you all this time.”“She had been resting well at my place, but a month ago... she suddenly disappeared...”Ben’s eyes widened slightly, and his always-cold face shattered inch by inch.He pulled out his phone and called frantically.But no one answered.Instead, another call with no caller ID came through.“Hello, do you know Jennifer?”He steadied his disordered breathing.“Yes. What happened?”“We received a report from the public. She committed suicide at home.”Ben didn’t even change his clothes.He rushed to my house as fast as he could.Police and neighbors crowded around the door.The stench could be smelled from miles away.He anxiously pushed through the crowd and entered, the moment he saw everything, he dropped to the ground.The entire bathtub full of blood instantly reddened his vision.He stared blankly at the slightly bloated corpse before him.Two streams of tears fell straight down.Hi

She knew that I liked Ben, and she only wanted me to taste the feeling of being abandoned by the one I loved.She stubbornly wanted to restore her scars, only because she wanted to smooth over those pains.She never intended for me to die.So she also did her best and used the last bit of mother-daughter affection she had with her own mother to exchange for the most crucial evidence.The villains were finally brought to justice.Ben spent a great deal of effort and finally found my mother.That haggard woman held a bundle of money in her arms.She hid in a shabby little room along the route I used to take to work.She kept murmuring under her breath.“Jenny likes working, she has to work hard, she can’t live without money.”“I have money now, I can—I can buy her good things, she has to work hard, I—I have to send her money.”I could no longer hold back and cried so hard that I lost my voice.After sending my mother to the psychiatric hospital, Ben sank into despair for a lo
