If given the chance to live again, what would you change the most? As for Emma, she has decided not to marry Mark, a betrayer. In her previous life, she was deceived and harmed by him, leading to the tragic demise of her entire family. Emma, devastated and tormented by Mark, suffered to the point of death. When she woke up, she found herself back five years in the past. At that time, Emma had not married Mark; instead, she had formed a connection with David, Mark's rival. Emma decides to rely on David for revenge against Mark, but little does she know that things will take unexpected turns. What surprises await her? Read on to find out!
View More"Emma, do you know how much I truly despise you? Lily is much better than you," Mark said as he plunged a sharp knife in her heart.
“I truly waited for this day and for you to die,” he finished speaking, laughed loudly, and stood up, leaving Emma to embrace the knife that was slowly dripping blood out of her heart.
"I never loved you; it was all just a drama for everyone. You loved me, right? Then die to prove it."
The atmosphere in the house was both cold and rigid, and the room was now filled with the scent of fresh blood. Emma's body was covered in wounds, and she helplessly looked at him with eyes full of disgust, regretting that she couldn't rise and stab him. Emma hated him to the core. She never expected that this marriage was initially his plan, and her love for him had vanished completely. If someone were to ask her the biggest regret of her life, Emma would not hesitate to answer: loving him and marrying a scoundrel like him.
"Emma, why do you look so gloomy since you came back from Mount Denali?"
Nancy, Emma's childhood friend, reached out and waved her hand in front of Emma's face, bringing her back to the present.
Yes, Emma was alive. After the incident, she came back to life in past, five years prior to the day of her death. Emma heaved a deep sigh before replying to Nancy.
"Nothing,” she said looking at the vast blue sky.
"Mount Denali is said to be very spiritual. Could it be that something is haunting you?" Nancy asked curiously. She was concerned for her best friend.
Emma returned to the events of five years ago when she and her best friend, Nancy, visited a temple on Mount Denali to seek peace and success for Mark William.
"What could be haunting me? There are things much more frightening around me." Emma replied drily.
Nancy was also surprised by Emma's words. Emma, a gentle and talented person, seemed a bit strange today, causing Nancy to think involuntarily.
Mount Denali was a sacred mountain, and entering its depths rapidly reduced the surrounding air temperature, creating an eerie atmosphere that sent shivers down everyone's spine. When Emma suddenly touched a multicolored stone she had accidentally noticed, she immediately fainted, frightening everyone and bringing them to a loss of spirit. Emma, however, returned back to life at that time of her past life.
"What are you saying? It sounds creepy. I saw you faint in the temple on Mount Denali, and you seemed a bit strange." Nancy told.
"Suddenly, I could see through people's hearts," Emma gave a faint smile.
Nancy still didn't understand the meaning behind Emma's words and looked at her for a moment before continuing.
"Seeing through is good. I'm afraid you've been lured away."
Nancy's words were half-joking and half-serious. She then looked outside as they were driving Emma's limited edition BMW i8 and was gradually leaving Mount Denali, the atmosphere began to return to normal, no longer as cold as before.
"Nancy," Emma paused and was hesitated to reveal the truth to her best friend.
"Hmm."
Nancy was still staring outside when she heard a voice beside her, causing her to involuntarily turn her head to look at Emma suspiciously.
"What's going on?" Nancy asked.
"Promise me something."
"What is it?"
"No matter what happens, stay away from Mark, the farther, the better."
Upon hearing this, Nancy couldn't help but burst into laughter and then said, "I won't touch your future husband, so rest assured!"
Immediately, Emma's face turned dark, and she didn't expect her best friend to think she was jealous about this matter. Currently, Emma only harbored hatred towards Mark; there was no remaining affection. It was just that in her previous life, Nancy had suddenly died in her own home. The police had ruled it as a suicide, but with someone as strong-willed and life-loving as Nancy, it was entirely implausible. Now that Emma had received a second chance to fix everything, she wouldn't let it happen again.
Emma was sure that Nancy's death in her previous life was somehow related to Mark. Living with Mark for five years, he seemed entirely innocent until it was too late to realize.
Originally intended as a joke, but seeing Emma's serious and stern expression, Nancy quickly composed.
"Alright, I hear you. Stay away from him as far as possible, okay?"
At this point, the furrowed brows on Emma's face relaxed as she reached out to hug Nancy, surprising her friend. Emma, who was usually gentle and reserved, was unusually enthusiastic today. In Nancy's thoughts, perhaps it was because she was about to get married and didn't want to be separated from her.
"Take care of yourself."
Everything that happened in the previous life was like a horrifying nightmare for Emma now, something she dared not to think about. This time, Emma had to protect everyone around her and prevent anyone from harming them, especially the wretched Mark William.
The phone rang at this moment. Emma turned to look at the screen but hesitated to answer. Nancy, on the other hand, winced at the persistent ringing, urging Emma to pick up.
"Why don't you answer the phone? It seems urgent if they keep calling like that."
Emma sighed, her face devoid of emotion, as she picked up the phone. On the other end, a man's voice came through, "Did you have fun going out today?"
"It was okay. I went to pray for your safety and success."
He was preparing for an upcoming election for outstanding young entrepreneurs in the city, and the company was bidding for a new project. Despite everything, Emma went to the sacred temple on Mount Denali to pray for him, even though this mountain was far from the city.
"Well, isn't that convenient? How about praying for a son early in the morning?"
Emma had already prayed, but now she just wanted to hang up immediately. With a deep breath and an emotionless face, she held the phone to her ear, and the voice on the other end continued, "Emma, what's wrong? Are you tired?"
Mark didn't see her response, so he continued to ask more questions, pretending to be concerned, gently probing Emma with a few more inquiries.
"Got a bit tired from going to the mountain early in the morning with Nancy."
"I'm busy today, couldn't personally take you. I'll make sure to do so next time," Mark spoke softly, his voice sounding somewhat pitiful and hard to blame. It was precisely because of this that in her previous life, Emma had immediately believed without hesitation, unaware that he was occupied in the arms of another woman.
"Yeah."
Emma replied coldly, and seeing her like this, Mark didn't continue the conversation.
"Take some rest. Be safe, and call me when you get back to the villa."
Emma didn't respond and simply turned off the phone. Nancy, seeing Emma's unusually cold demeanor, wanted to say something but held it in. It seemed that Mount Denali indeed carried a heavy atmosphere. Hopefully, Emma would return to her normal state after waking up.
The BMW i8 suddenly stopped on its way back to the city.
"What's going on?"
"Miss, the car in front stopped abruptly, so our car bumped into it. I'll go down to handle it."
"Is it serious?"
"No, it's okay. I'll go down to resolve it."
Emma nodded lightly when she saw the car in front, realizing that it belonged to someone wealthy.
"Returning to the city, and already such bad luck. Will you go down to check?"
"Sure."
Nancy saw the driver getting out and turned to ask Emma. Seeing Emma looking ahead and saying nothing, Nancy took it as a yes.
"It's Emma's car, the young miss."
The man in front looked towards Emma with an amused smile. Emma said nothing, just stared intently at the man, recognizing him as David Jones, the playboy heir of the Jones conglomerate, who changed women like clothes.
"Emma, does the young miss like me?"
David Jones continued to smile, knowing that Emma was a talented and exceptionally beautiful woman, so he enjoyed teasing her.
"That's right."
This remark, however, was not directed at David but at her best friend, Nancy, standing beside her. She quickly pulled Nancy's hand close and whispered.
"Do you know who he is? Why did you say that?"
"I know."
Emma replied coldly, then turned back to face David Jones and took out a business card from her purse.
"My car bumped into yours, so take it for repairs and contact me afterward. I'll compensate."
David's smile grew even wider. He had heard a lot about Emma from others, but he never expected her to be this different, not at all like what people said.
"Does Miss Emma intend to compensate with herself?"
"Not a bad idea."
Emma faced him but didn't directly respond, and both of them stared at each other. The girl in the car then stepped out and clung to his arm affectionately, ending their silent standoff.
"Why did you leave me here for so long?" The girl, dressed in a tight black dress that revealed more than it covered, looked at Emma as if she wanted to devour her.
"Alright, let's go. Miss Emma, I am looking forward to meeting you again," he said, quickly getting back into the car.
"You fell and hit your head on the rock, didn't you?"
"No."
"Then why were you talking to that playboy, David?"
Emma thought for a moment and then looked at her friend, smiling.
"You'll know later."
"There's something wrong with your head."
Nancy kept talking in the car, everyone in the city knew that the Jones family heir was a womanizer, and it was inconceivable for him to be matched with someone like Emma. Especially considering Emma's usual disdain for people like David, today's attitude was different.
"Did you have a fight with Mark? Why are you interested in David?"
"David is better than Mark."
Emma naturally remembered the events from her previous life. David was the best choice to help her seek revenge. If she had to choose someone to marry, it would be David. A loveless marriage would be fine as long as he maintained appearances for her, which was better than marrying someone as despicable as Mark.
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine. Whatever I do in the future has its reasons."
She then turned to face Nancy seriously, not wanting her to know too much, as it would be even more dangerous.
"Do you still support me?"
Nancy, with an innocent face, didn't understand what was happening but quickly nodded. Earlier, she had also noticed David's car. If Emma had followed her usual pattern, she would have handed the card straightforwardly, and there would be no need for such intimate interaction between the two. They even exchanged contact information and talked as if they were already close.
"Great, just understand it that way."
Emma, satisfied, leaned back and closed her eyes, ignoring Nancy, who was still dreamily looking at her.
Mark looked at Sara for help, but Sara remained silent. She took out the documents and handed them to everyone. "This is the evidence. Mark's company has committed a crime." Sara had secretly logged into Mark's private room in the villa on the mountain to steal the documents. Mark's father could barely stand, unable to believe he was being exposed in such a humiliating way. At this point, Mark had committed many crimes: he had killed someone, intentionally stolen Emma's company's information, and his own company was involved in illegal activities. "You're a scumbag, Mark. I hate you," Emily limped in, covered in wounds. Everyone immediately recognized Emily as she accused Mark of his crimes. Mark had beaten her, and Emily was ready to testify against him. "Surprised, aren't you, Mark? From the beginning, I knew Mark was my brother. We just pretended to set up this plan so you would fall into your own trap." Roy watched everything unfold in silence because his father was in the w
The next day, as Emma arrived at the office, her phone rang with news that left her in shock. She dropped the phone, her hands trembling.“What’s wrong?” David quickly caught her, picking up the phone and listening. His face darkened as he heard the details. Emma’s father had been in an accident. He usually had a driver, but today he had driven himself to the office. His car had crashed into a roadside pole, and he was now hospitalized.Emma steadied herself, her initial panic giving way to determination. Together with David, she rushed to the hospital. Her mother, upon hearing the news, had fainted and was being cared for by others Emma had arranged.“Doctor, how is my father?” she asked anxiously when the doctor finally emerged from the operating room.The doctor shook his head with a heavy sigh.“The injuries are severe. He may remain in a vegetative state.”“What? You’re lying!”Emma clutched her chest, her cries echoing through the hospital corridor. David held her tightly, his o
That afternoon, Roy's father, Steven Williams, held a meeting where he announced Roy's return to the company. Sarah, in her role as the company's brand ambassador, attended the meeting.When she saw Roy, she noticed he seemed different from usual. In the past, he had told her he didn’t care about the company, yet here he was, working at his father’s business.After the meeting ended, Sarah went to Roy’s office. When he saw her, he wasn’t surprised. He simply looked at her, waiting for her to say what was on her mind."Roy, why are you here?" she asked."This is my father’s company," he replied."I know, but that can’t be the reason you’re here now."It seemed Roy had already expected Sarah to come find him. He didn’t want to explain, which made Sarah even more worried. She approached his desk."Roy, you don’t like doing this job. Why are you forcing yourself?""I don’t want to see you by someone else’s side—especially Mark's."His words struck a painful chord in Sarah’s heart. She only
At a quiet café, Roy sat alone in his usual corner. This was the place where he and Sarah had first met. He recalled that day vividly—Sarah, then just a waitress, was being bullied by some unruly customers. Roy had stepped in to help her. At the time, Sarah didn’t know Roy was the owner of the café. Now, she was a rising star, and their relationship had evolved into a friendship. Yet, there seemed to be an invisible distance between them.As Roy sipped his coffee, his gaze wandered to the street outside, where he caught sight of Sarah chatting happily with another man. She had recently told him she was busy with work, which explained why they hadn’t been in touch as often.Feeling a pang of unease, Roy pulled out his phone and called Sarah. She had always turned to him during tough times, and their shared moments of solace had brought them closer.“Sarah, where are you?” he asked. “I’m out,” she replied. “Can we meet?”Before Sarah could respond, she abruptly hung up, distracted by
Kaning was escorted by the bodyguards assigned by David to a villa. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw her mother, grandmother, and even Gun there. When Gun saw her, he immediately rushed over, unable to hide his emotions as he hugged his sister tightly. "Are you okay? I was so worried." "I'm fine. Don’t let Mom and Dad find out."What Kaning had just done was incredibly dangerous, but fortunately, everyone was safe. David and Mary did not pursue the matter and even arranged a temporary safe place for her to stay.What David said was spot on—Mark would use Kaning’s family as hostages to force her compliance.Mark had sent his men to capture Kaning’s family, thinking his plan was flawless. However, his phone suddenly rang. "Speak," he said impatiently as he picked up the call. "I’ve thoroughly checked, sir. Neither at the house nor the hospital was Kaning’s family found." "Are you sure?" "Yes, sir."Hearing this, Mark hung up the phone, unable to suppress his anger. He was ex
In a room full of flowers, Kaning had already put on a seductive nightgown. Earlier, David had taken the initiative to contact her for a meeting. When she heard the doorbell, Kaning threw on a coat."You're here already?"David, looking dashing and exuding the aura of a mature man, stepped into the room filled with the scent of perfume. He glanced around, noting that Kaning had put a lot of thought into this. He carefully sat down in the chair, while Kaning had not placed any cameras. David merely smirked.He knew exactly what was going on. Kaning poured him a glass of red wine."You invited me here to make amends, didn't you?"Kaning gracefully sat close to him, the perfume scent making David wrinkle his nose. He simply smiled and then lifted Kaning's chin."Isn't that what you wanted?""You really understand what women want. I’m sure many have used this method to seduce you."David just gave a faint smile, took a sip of the wine, and looked at Kaning, speaking with a smile."What do
In a coffee shop, Nancy had arrived early. She had already ordered her favorite drink. She sat and looked at the clock, waiting for that person to show up.“Nancy, have you been waiting long?” Dylan hurriedly entered the café and sat down. He asked Nancy how she was, but instead of a warm response, he was met with a cold, indifferent attitude. “Not long.”Dylan had been trying to reach Nancy for several days without success. Today, when she contacted him first, he was very happy.“About what happened the other day, let me explain.” Nancy’s heart had already hardened. Her mood had been heavy these past days. She had made up her mind and was now looking at Dylan, but at that moment, all she could think about was the poor girl. She hoped that the girl’s words were true, and that Dylan was indeed a good man, only changed by circumstances.“No need. Do you know why I asked you to meet me here?” Dylan still didn’t understand, shaking his head. Nancy then gave a sarcastic smile. He had d
Since the day Nancy overheard Dylan telling lies, she hadn’t given him a chance to see her again. She even blocked his number and avoided him at the hospital whenever possible.Nancy didn’t know when she had gotten used to living without Dylan’s help, but she was managing just fine. Although they hadn’t officially broken up yet, she believed it was better to remain calm and let things resolve gradually.One day, after her hospital shift, a young woman with a slightly protruding belly entered her office.“Excuse me, is this Dr. Nancy’s office?”“Yes, it is. Did you come to the wrong place? I’m not an obstetrician,” Nancy replied politely.The woman looked hesitant, and Nancy immediately sensed that she wasn’t there for a medical consultation but rather to discuss something important.“Could you please step outside to talk with me?” the woman asked nervously.“Alright,” Nancy said after a moment’s thought, agreeing out of curiosity to hear what the woman had to say.“What is it? Go ahea
Emma initially paid little attention, but the name on the business card caught her eye. Earlier, she had felt the woman looked familiar, but now she was certain—it was Kaning, someone she had met before.However, something puzzled her. In such a short time, how had an ordinary girl like Kaning transformed and ended up here, looking so different from what Emma remembered?“This might work in your favor,” David remarked, handing Emma Kaning’s business card.“What do you mean?” Emma asked, her curiosity piqued.“You’ll find out soon enough,” David replied cryptically, his calm demeanor masking deeper knowledge.Emma couldn’t fully grasp what David was hinting at, but it was clear he knew something about Kaning. That realization made her even more aware of David’s meticulous nature. It became evident that David had sensed Kaning’s intentions from the moment she approached him. The exchange of contact information was something he had anticipated.Emma also began to suspect that Kaning’s ap
