FAZER LOGIN“Mom,” I snorted. “Didn’t you say raising me all these years was a huge loss?”George and Catherine’s faces turned as white as sheets.Just then, Nancy barged in and pushed George and Catherine away.“Mom, Dad, why are you begging her?”She lifted her chin and swept a glance across me disdainfully. “She’s only where she is today because she slept her way into Marcus’ bed. I’m prettier than her. I can do it too.”George’s expression instantly changed. He pointed at me and scolded, “You ungrateful brat! Nancy’s right. You’re nothing but a thankless and heartless thing! After all the years we’ve brought you up, you simply intend to stand there and watch us go bankrupt!”Catherine wiped away her tears and chimed in, “Nancy’s a good girl. She always thinks about the family. Unlike you, you turn your back on us the moment you get a little success!”I got so annoyed that I pressed the intercom button. “Security, please escort these troublemakers out.”George immediately flew into a fi
“No.” Marcus stood up. His gaze was as sharp as a blade. “You’re not Stella.”The atmosphere instantly fell silent.Nancy froze.The next second, Marcus reached out and yanked off her wig.Nancy’s blonde hair spilled loose and revealed her true face.“Stop him!” Alfred shouted into the surveillance monitor.But Marcus had already charged out of the banquet hall. Nancy had no way to stop him.Alfred’s expression changed drastically. He turned around to take his car keys.That was the moment. I used all my strength and slammed myself together with the chair at him.Bam!Alfred was caught off guard and fell hard to the floor. The back of his head hit the table corner with a heavy thud.I took the opportunity to drag the chair with me as I rolled toward the window. I slammed my shoulder into the window to force it open. After that, I hurled myself out.The second floor was not that high, but the impact still hit me hard. A sharp pain shot through my right leg. I could have
“What are you doing?!” I questioned Nancy sharply.She did not answer me. She simply lowered her head and started typing quickly.After a few moments, she showed me the phone screen.[Come pick me up at the Evans’ family mansion.]Nancy sent the message to Marcus.I froze. “Nancy, what exactly are you trying to do?!”She chuckled without replying to me. She turned around and switched on the projector in the living hall. Alfred cooperatively took out the surveillance camera. He placed the surveillance camera at the Evans’ family mansion main entrance.After that, I watched with my own eyes as Nancy walked into the makeup room on the first floor.After half an hour, I saw my doppelganger walk out of it. Nancy had put on the same hairstyle and makeup as mine. She even wore some old clothes that I had left behind during my university days.She practiced my facial expressions several times in front of the mirror. Then, she showed an “okay” gesture at Alfred.“Perfect,” Alfred
My knees went weak. I could barely stand on my feet.The next moment, Marcus threw his arms around me and patted my back. “You’re safe now.”My entire body trembled. It took me a long while before I recovered my senses. I looked up at him and asked, “Why did you come back?”He did not answer me. He reached into his pocket and took out a delicate bracelet.I had accidentally left it in his car.I took the bracelet. My fingertips were still shaking.I never thought that bracelet would save my life.Marcus rested his gaze on my disheveled collar. His face instantly darkened.He draped his formal suit over my shoulders. His voice was so low that I could barely hear what he said.“I’ll bring you to your doorstep from now onward.” Ever since Marcus personally escorted me to and from work, Alfred had not shown up at my apartment again.I gradually let my guard down and focused on my work.That afternoon, my phone vibrated. Nancy’s name flashed across the screen.I did not feel l
After joining Faber’s Corporation, I quickly secured my position in the department with the experience I carried from my previous life.Within a month, I accurately predicted the surge of three little-known stocks.Marcus began to frequently show up in my project meetings. But he never interfered with any of my decisions.One day, after I submitted an analysis report on the overseas market, Marcus personally came to my desk. He rapped his slender and well-defined fingers on my desk.“Meet you at Sky Diner at seven o’clock tonight. Bring along your data models.”His tone was even. But it left no room for refusal.That dinner felt like sitting on pins and needles.Marcus gracefully cut his steak. He occasionally threw some insightful questions at me that forced me to justify every detail of my report.When dessert was served, he finally showed a hint of satisfaction.He lifted his glass of wine and took a slow sip. “Your assessment is very accurate. From next week onward, you’ll
I finally realized the Rolls-Royce with red ribbons was not a wedding car at all.It was a brand-new, unregistered car!The Faber’s Corporation employees quickly smoothed their collars and bowed to him respectfully, “Good day, Mr. Faber.”The words “Mr. Faber” struck me like lightning.It turned out that he was Marcus Faber, the CEO of Faber’s Corporation.In my previous life, I had only heard of his name. But I had never seen his face before.Marcus swept his gaze across Alfred before resting on me.“Ms. Evans, you dropped this.”Marcus took out my folding knife from the inner pocket of his formal suit. Its handle was stained with his blood.The atmosphere instantly turned into a terrifying silence.George and Catherine became mute like fish. As for Nancy, she dug her nails hard into the leather seat.Marcus slowly walked toward me. He stepped on the shattered pieces of glass with his leather shoes. The sharp crunch sent a chill down one’s spine.“According to Article 238
