Chapter 5

Auteur: Cool Husky
Phil was still displeased, but I had Rosalie backing me. For the Lark family's sake, he finally relented.

"I know calling off the engagement between our families puts you in a difficult position. To make up for it, I'll personally take the lead and transfer all downstream logistics contracts to your family. In return, Gwen cannot marry into the Stone family," I said.

"Don't worry about that. I wouldn't have allowed my daughter to marry a bastard, anyway," Phil harrumphed.

    Brandon helped catapult Laura to the top, turning himself into the most favored son-in-law of the Colson family. He changed his mind about the marriage and decided he wanted to fully take my place in being her husband. He was determined to thoroughly beat me.Honestly, I had no idea where his obsession with winning came from.When Brandon came home to ask Dad for his betrothal gifts and learned that I'd already gotten 300 million dollars, he was furious."Why does he get that much when I only get 30 million dollars? Dad, you can't play favorites. I'm Laura's golden ticket now!"Dad's expression darkened. "That money was left to him by his mother. A person can't be too greedy, Brandon."Brandon instantly went pale, but he still took the 30 million dollars from Dad. That was probably the last sum he'd ever get to save his own skin.I just smiled without saying anything.…On the wedding day, one invitation from Rosalie was enough to bring in half the upper crust of society to our

    That night, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. I finally got up to go downstairs for some water. As I walked past Brandon's room, I heard him ranting angrily inside."System, no matter how I hint at him with the comments, he just won't take the bait! I spent so long scripting those lies, yet they're completely useless!" he hissed."The male lead has most likely awakened his self-awareness. However, you still have a chance now. If you keep working at it, you might be able to turn things around."You can fabricate more comments for him and make him firmly believe that Rosalie Lark is the villainess. Hopefully, everything can still be salvaged. Otherwise, you'll only end up being erased."The moment I heard that, I understood what was going on.A system, huh? It was just one parasite latching onto another parasite.I'd been fooled in my previous life. If not for that, Brandon and his system wouldn't have had such an easy time. In this life, I would cut off every escape rout

    I arched a brow. After sending Laura away, Rosalie went off to start preparing for the wedding. Meanwhile, I followed Dad into the study.Dad had long since prepared betrothal gifts for Brandon, knowing that he was about to get married. Since Rosalie and I would be having our wedding soon, I wanted similar treatment.When he heard that I was there to ask him for betrothal gifts, his forehead instantly broke out in sweat. He grabbed my arm and started scolding me. "Looks like you've grown a backbone, Skylar. How can you come to me, demanding betrothal gifts?""Why shouldn't I?" I shot back calmly. "If you don't want to give me anything, I'll just make a public statement that I'm cutting ties with you and the Stone family. You can figure out for yourself what kind of losses that'll cause. At worst, I'll go to Grandpa. I'm sure my uncle will help me out, too."To be honest, I wasn't completely sure this would work. In my previous life, after being severely beaten, I'd gone to Grandpa

    I smiled and pulled out a contract, handing it to Dad. "The Moore family has called off the engagement, so Brandon is free to marry Laura. Also, I found the security footage of him stealing my ring from my studio. What do you think the police will do if I make that public? After all, it was my competition piece."If you don't want the entire Stone family to be ripped apart by public outrage, then I think you know what to do."Dad lifted his head and glanced at Brandon, hesitation flashing in his eyes before it hardened into resolve. "Brandon, you should marry Laura."Brandon froze on the spot. Meanwhile, Laura, standing off to the side, stared at me with a hint of disbelief. A moment later, her eyes glinted viciously.I laughed to myself. In this life, I would teach Brandon a precious lesson—he had to reap what he had sown!Helen was dumbfounded when she heard that. "How is that acceptable?""Why is it not? Or did you actually think that with Laura's current reputation, status, a

    Phil was still displeased, but I had Rosalie backing me. For the Lark family's sake, he finally relented."I know calling off the engagement between our families puts you in a difficult position. To make up for it, I'll personally take the lead and transfer all downstream logistics contracts to your family. In return, Gwen cannot marry into the Stone family," I said."Don't worry about that. I wouldn't have allowed my daughter to marry a bastard, anyway," Phil harrumphed.In my previous life, because I got together with Laura, Gwen had no choice but to marry Brandon. I still had no idea what tricks Brandon had pulled, but even though Phil looked down on him, he still allowed the marriage. After the marriage, Brandon and Gwen actually had a pretty good life. I was the only one who was miserable.Now, with Phil's reassurance, I was completely at ease.After that, Rosalie accompanied me home. As soon as we arrived at the Stone residence, we saw Laura and her family kicking up a fuss

    When I finally got a clear look at Rosalie Lark's face, I relaxed and passed out.When I woke up, I found myself lying on a warm, soft bed. Rosalie had her back to me and was talking to someone on the phone. I was groggy and couldn't make out what she was saying, but I vaguely caught her mentioning the Stone family.I let out a low groan. Rosalie hung up, turned to look at me, and couldn't help smiling. "I guess you have nine lives or something.""Thanks, Ms. Lark," I said."Is a verbal thank-you all I'm gonna get?"I cleared my throat. "You can have full control of the Nanvard project."From the beginning, I'd prepared two backup plans. If Phil agreed to help, then the Nanvard project would've gone to him. If he turned me down, then I would've given it to the Lark family. As long as one of them came to drag me out of this hell, that was good enough.Unsurprisingly, the Moore family had refused. Of course, it wasn't like I'd ever really planned on marrying Gwen anyway. Whether t
