Chapter 3

The seat I had given up was my own reservation.

I thought that no matter how troublesome Amy could be, nothing should go wrong this time.

But not long after, another wave of loud commotion erupted from the VIP room.

Before I could figure out what had happened, Leo blocked me at the restroom entrance. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to the seating area.

“Olivia, this is the result of you giving your seat to that old hag! She’s been raising the

I glanced at Amy beside him. She was crying pitifully, tears streaming down her face.

“Leo… I really love that necklace… But I’m afraid she’s playing you. If the bidding keeps going up like this, and you end up winning it… I don’t want you to go bankrupt just because of me…”

Seeing this, Leo didn’t even wait for my response. He stepped forward and started shoving the woman sitting in the seat, angrily throwing her bidding paddle onto the floor.

“Do you know who I am? You’re betting that I won’t give up on that necklace, aren’t you? If you dare keep raising the price on purpose, don’t blame me for using my influence to throw you out of here!”

The woman ignored him, bent down, and picked up her paddle. Her lips parted slightly, as if she was about to call out an even higher bid.

Seeing that, Leo immediately clamped a hand over her mouth.

“You still dare to raise the price? I’ll have my fiancée take the seat back right now—she listens to everything I say! You’d better get out of this place!”

In the ten years I had been with Leo, he had never cared about my feelings.

And I had always chosen to tolerate and accommodate him.

Thinking about how, in my previous life, he had caused the deaths of my brother, my father, and me for Amy’s sake, I shoved Leo away from the woman he was manhandling.

“I listen to everything you say?” I said coldly. “This is my seat. I can give it to whoever I want. She can bid on whatever she likes. No one gets to interfere!”

Leo stared at me in shock.

“Olivia, have you lost your mind? Fine, you gave your seat to an outsider—but now that outsider is interfering with my bidding, and you’re still taking her side?”

“I need to correct you, Leo,” I said calmly. “You were the one who tried to steal this lady’s seat first. As your fiancée, giving her my own seat was already compensation. As for ‘interfering with your bidding’—have you considered that it might just be your imagination?”

A mocking smile appeared on Leo’s lips.

“Olivia, don’t play logic games with me! Amy’s birthday is coming up—don’t you know that? Do you realize how much you’re ruining the mood?”

“This is an auction, not her birthday party. As long as people follow the rules, that’s enough.”

“Olivia, are you jealous right now? Can you stop targeting Amy all the time? She’s just my sister. Buying a necklace to make my sister happy is completely normal. How many times do I have to explain that before you believe me?”

When people are truly speechless, they sometimes laugh instead.

“Leo, are you serious? I’m talking about rules, and you’re talking about feelings?”

“Leo… forget it. I don’t want the necklace anymore…”

Amy’s tearful sob instantly sent Leo into a frenzy.

He no longer bothered arguing with me. With a powerful shove, he pushed me aside, grabbed the woman by the collar, and threw her straight out.

Leo used a lot of force.

My back slammed into the table behind me, and a sharp, piercing pain shot through my spine.

The woman collapsed onto the floor after being thrown. The cane she had been holding flew out of her hand, and her sunglasses fell to the ground.

Her eyes struck the corner of the table, and when she looked up into the bright light, she immediately squinted.

    I bent down and picked it up.Leo knelt on the ground, clutching his bleeding wrist, trembling all over. “Olivia… Olivia, I was wrong… we were together for ten years… you can’t…”Ten years.When he was at his lowest, I used my own money to support him. I stayed by his side as he climbed from nobody to Underboss. And in the end, he entangled himself with that so-called stepsister of his—no blood relation whatsoever—treating our ten years together as if they meant nothing, even going so far as to harm my family.I walked up to him.“Ten years,” I said softly, “Leo, do you know what I regret most about those ten years?”He looked at me in terror.“It’s not that I loved you,” I said. “It’s that I didn’t see through you sooner.”I pulled the trigger.Bang!The shot hit his left leg.He screamed and collapsed.“This shot is for my father.”Then I fired again, into his right leg.“This shot is for my brother.”He tried to argue, “What did I ever do to your brother?!”Of course he didn’t know.

    St. Patrick’s CathedralI knelt before the coffin, a black veil covering my face.My fingers tightened—not in prayer, but counting seconds.In my previous life, it was here that Leo kicked open the church doors. A bullet tore through my brother’s forehead, and his blood spread across the floor in front of my father’s coffin.I was held down, forced to watch my family fall, powerless to do anything.That scene replayed in my nightmares countless times after my rebirth.Every time I woke up, I would touch my face—it would be wet with tears.But today was different.Today… this was my trap.I tilted my head slightly, scanning the back rows of the church from the corner of my eye.Alessandro’s men were disguised as mourners, scattered in small groups among the pews.Behind me came the sound of chaotic footsteps.Not one person—a group.Bang—The church doors were kicked open.Leo stood in the doorway, over twenty armed men behind him.“Olivia!”His voice echoed through the empty church, la

    After that day, what happened at the auction spread through every street and alley.The Don of the Colombo family personally came to apologize to the Morretti family, dismissing Leo from his position as Underboss on the spot and promising to “punish him without mercy.”It was said that when Leo was taken away, his expression looked as if someone had peeled off a layer of his skin alive.But I knew—so long as he was still alive, he would never let me go.One week later, early in the morning, a black sedan stopped punctually beneath my apartment building.The one who came to pick me up was none other than Alessandro himself.When we arrived, he led me inside.In the living room, the old lady sat by the window in a rocking chair, her eyes covered with a strip of snow-white gauze, a takeout container in her hands.“Olivia is here? Would you like to try some cheeseburger patties? Alessandro made them.” She tilted her head, accurately facing the direction I had entered from.I was startled.

    After understanding the full picture, Alessandro’s gaze fell on the auction item.Under the spotlight, the pearls glowed with a soft, lustrous sheen.“I don’t want bloodshed in front of my mother, so I’ll spare you for now,” he said lightly. “Since my mother wants that pearl necklace, let the bidding continue.”Everyone in the room froze.Given Alessandro’s temper, I had expected Leo to have at least two broken ribs by now.But he was letting it go just like that?The auctioneer received the signal and forced himself to continue. “One million five hundred thousand, going once…”Alessandro raised his paddle. “Ten million.”Leo stood there, motionless.He no longer dared to bid like before.“Ten million, going once.” The auctioneer’s voice rang clearly through the silent VIP room.No one else raised a paddle. No one dared compete with the Don for a necklace.“Ten million, going twice…”“Ten million, going—”I studied Alessandro’s expression, then took a closer look at the necklace before

    The VIP room door was kicked open.The deafening crash froze everyone in place.Leo was still clutching the old lady by the collar, his hand suspended midair. When he turned his head, the arrogance on his face hadn’t even had time to fade.Alessandro’s gaze passed over everyone and landed directly on the elderly woman—her collar seized, blood seeping from her brow.In that instant, even standing three meters away, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.He didn’t look at Leo.He didn’t look at anyone.He strode toward his mother, dropped down, and knelt before her on one knee.The hands that had just held a storm now moved with impossible gentleness.He pulled a neatly folded white handkerchief from his inner pocket and carefully wiped away the blood beading at her brow.“Mom, I’m here.”Seeing the group behind him aiming guns, Leo’s grip on the old lady’s collar loosened instantly, as if he’d been burned.The old woman reached out, fumbling until she grasped Alessandro’s hand. Her clouded eye

    It was obvious that the collision just now had aggravated an old injury. Her face had turned pale.Blood flowed from her brow, running down her cheek, but she didn’t bother wiping it away. She only tried in vain to keep her eyes open, blinking desperately.Compared to Amy—who had been whining noisily for half the day yet still looked perfectly flushed—I knew this lady was truly in pain.Thinking of that, I forced myself to stand up. Pointing at the blood around the woman’s eye, I looked at Leo, my voice turning colder and sharper.“Leo, is your heart made of stone? This lady already said her eyesight was almost gone! How could you lay hands on her like that?!”“Move aside right now! Or I’ll call security immediately!”Rubbing my lower back, which was still numb from the impact, I waved my hand impatiently at Leo.“Go. Get up and bring the auction’s doctor here to check on the lady.”Then, remembering Amy’s fate that night in my previous life, I added another sentence.“And call a car t
