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 secretary was to torment me thoroughly.

I had been Ben’s follower since childhood, he knew that no matter what happened, I would never leave him.

I had to admit that I was deeply and uncontrollably in love with him, and for that love, I was willing to be punished.

I crouched beside the car, foolishly waiting for Ben to get off work.

Then Ben suddenly rushed out from behind and dragged me into the car.

His fingers pinched my chin with crushing force, as if he were going to break it.

“Jennifer, you should be dying soon, right? Use your last wish to erase the scar on Riley’s face.”

I panted and forced a faint smile.

“Ben, dying hurts.”

He hooked up a pleased yet vicious smile.

“What are you afraid of, Jennifer? It’s not like you’re dying for the first time, so what’s the difference?”

Riley was his advisor, and she looked exactly like Ben’s late first love.

As he spoke, he yanked open my shirt collar, stared at the scar, and wore a twisted smile.

Memories surged up like a tide.

Five years ago, on the night before the wedding, I joyfully tried on the pearl veil Ben had given me.

I never expected my mentally unstable mother to suddenly attack.

She stabbed a sharp knife toward my neck, and bright red blood dripped onto the white wedding dress.

And just like that, I died.

Before dying, I made a wish.

“I don’t want to die. I wish Mom wouldn’t kill me.”

After all, I had promised the late Mandy that I would take care of Ben in her place.

Ben had also said he would fulfill Mandy’s last wish and marry me.

I closed my eyes, thinking I would never wake again.

Then a mechanical voice suddenly rang in my mind.

“Congratulations, Host, for triggering your superpower. You have five resurrection chances. The wish you make before each death will come true. Here are the limits and conditions for the wishes.”

I didn’t have time to read the limits or conditions, I ran excitedly to Ben’s house.

“Ben, I have a system, I can make wishes... come... true.”

But I never expected that although I was revived, the one who died instead became Ben’s first love.

My mother tricked the Somerfield family out of everything they had.

Mandy’s dependent mother couldn’t bear it and jumped off a building, afterward, Mandy committed suicide as well.

Meanwhile, my mother fled and disappeared.

That gentle woman lay in the bathtub, wrapped in blood and water.

Ben’s face was streaked with tears, and in his devastated eyes, a spark of hope rose.

“Really? Jenny... then can you bring Mandy back to life?”
