Upon returning from the nightclub, Emma hurriedly took a shower. She lay on her beloved bed, holding the black card she took from David's wallet. This man was truly unpredictable, but he was the one who would help Emma seek revenge.
Emma recalled the scene just before her death. At that time, she had returned from studying abroad, complying with her family's intention to arrange a marriage. The predetermined marriage filled Emma with resentment. She loved Mark, but he married her only for the wealth of the Wilson family.
FLASHBACK
The car was navigating through the heavy rain on a difficult road, carrying Emma, her parents, and Mark back to the mansion.
"Dad? The road seems challenging."
"Yes, you and your mother should sit carefully."
Normally, the family's private driver would take them, but today, Emma's father insisted on driving himself. Suddenly, the brakes failed, and the speed increased rapidly. Outside, heavy rain made the road even more challenging.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
The car, without brakes, plunged straight into the mountain wall. Emma was terrified. She only remembered the gruesome scene of her parents. Her father's weak gaze at her before closing his eyes haunted her. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the hospital.
"Mom, Dad, where are you?" Emma panicked, sitting up.
"Emma, calm down a bit."
Mark comforted her beside Emma. At this point, reporters had arrived, asking numerous questions. Emma didn't care about that; she just wanted to know where her parents were. However, Mark didn't provide her with any information.
A few days later, Mark brought Emma back to the Green mansion. It was then that Emma learned both her parents had died in that accident. Mark portrayed himself as a caring husband, but, in reality, he confined Emma to a room, not allowing her to go out.
"Emma, you should sign and transfer all the family assets to me."
"Dream on, you despicable person. What have you done?"
Mark stood in front of Emma, laughing loudly, with two tall figures behind him.
"Cut her tendons for me."
"Dare you."
Emma stared at Mark with determination. The two tall figures approached, tied Emma up, and then took out a knife to cut her legs.
"Mark, you scum. I won't spare you, even if I die."
"Sooner or later, you'll die anyway."
Mark laughed loudly, looking at Emma's blood-stained body. Emma's legs were now immobile. Despite the intense pain, she didn't shed a tear.
"You're just a dog of the William family."
Although her legs were in excruciating pain and blood wouldn't stop flowing, Emma, with defiant eyes, retorted to his mockery. She never expected to be so wretched. She had married Mark for her family and love before, and now she only wanted to kill him.
Hearing this, Mark became even more furious, approaching to strangle Emma. His fierce, red-eyed gaze was extremely menacing.
"You'd better keep your mouth shut. Your family's accident was arranged by me. Currently, everyone thinks you've gone crazy, utterly worthless."
After saying that, Mark adjusted his mood and released the grip on Emma's neck.
"Once I get your fortune, I'll kill you. But for now, you can't die yet."
Mark stood up without saying a word and left the room. The room immediately plunged back into darkness. Emma sat there, staring blankly. The pain in her legs was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. She truly felt dead inside.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Back to reality, Emma found herself in her room five years ago. She walked to the window, where the moonlight shone upon her.
"Mark, I will make you pay. I will make you lose everything, and your life won't be worth living."
Mark had been ruthless, killing Emma's entire family in the accident, but she survived. He imprisoned and severed her legs, making her unable to walk. After taking Emma's wealth, Mark killed her and set the house on fire. Everyone believed Emma committed suicide after her parents' death, unaware of Mark's conspiracy.
Emma was murdered in her own home, and waking up again, she found herself on Mount Denali. The scene was from five years ago, and Emma, against all odds, came back to life. She had traveled from the future to the past to correct her mistakes and seek revenge against the villain, Mark William. She aimed to make Mark and his family pay for what they did to her.
"The death of your brother was all part of that plan; currently, he is still alive."
Before Emma died, Mark revealed to her all of his secrets and conspiracies. However, Mark did not anticipate Emma coming back to life from the past. This time, Emma had to find her missing brother, who had been gone for many years, and unravel the enormous secret called the Jones family.
The scene from that time sent shivers down Emma's spine again, and the more she thought about it, the more her heart ached.
FLASHBACK
"Emma, you truly are pitiful."
"Shut up, Mark. You're despicable."
Mark tightened his grip on Emma's arm, glaring at her. Emma's legs had lost sensation by now. Exhausted, she just wanted to let go of everything, to join her parents.
"I can be even more ruthless. I will take your family's entire wealth. I will kill everyone you love."
Emma pressed her hand hard, making fresh blood gush out. She wished the heart-wrenching emotions would disappear, but that was impossible.
"Your family's car, I arranged for it to crash. Did you think it happened naturally?"
"You're truly wicked."
Mark laughed louder; that was who he was. He wanted to witness bloodshed, the death of Emma's entire family, but unexpectedly, Emma's life became larger than he thought, and she didn't die.
Mark lived with Emma for five years, only to wait for the opportunity today. Mark had great ambitions, so he always wore a fake facade, making everyone believe in his authenticity.
"Mark, you've done too many evil things. I will kill you."
"Wait for the day you have the courage to do that."
FLASHBACK ENDED
In her past life, Emma was harmed so severely that it was indescribable. She didn't have the chance to kill Mark because she trusted him too much. When Emma discovered the truth, her parents and relatives were already dead, and Mark had killed her too. Mark was the reason Emma came back to life, and now, she lived again to kill him, living with no belief in love. Emma only trusted herself and would make Mark lose everything.
The entire night, Emma found it difficult to sleep. Early in the morning, she woke up to find that she was late, hastily grabbing her phone."Damn it, why hasn't David contacted me?"Emma thought David would get in touch eventually, but there was no sign of any communication from him. Annoyed, she tossed David's black card into her wardrobe before heading downstairs."Miss, where are you going?"The butler was already there, waiting for Emma. She had returned from studying abroad just a few days ago. Mark was on a business trip at the same time, so they hadn't had a chance to meet. Though Emma, having come back to life, knew Mark was lying, she paid no attention."I'm going to the company.""The master said you should rest. Tonight, we need to meet the young master Mark's family."Hearing this, Emma furrowed her brows, looking around to ensure no one was present before turning to the butler."I know, I'll go to the company and talk to my father.""Yes."Finally, after Emma spoke, the
In a room at a restaurant, the food had already been arranged, and all five people remained silent, creating a somewhat heavy atmosphere. Finn Green took the initiative to speak."It's quite embarrassing; Emma said the girl would be here soon.""No problem, it's Mark's fault for not picking up Emma."After leaving the company, Emma immediately went shopping for clothes. Her father had instructed her to arrive a bit early and have a meal with Mark's family. However, Emma had managed to surprise her father by arriving an hour late."That's right; you should have picked up Emma," Mark Green admitted, taking responsibility. Mark had called Emma before coming, but she had declined, insisting on driving herself.As the uncomfortable atmosphere lingered, a sound reached them from the entrance."Hello, everyone; sorry, I'm late."All five people turned their eyes to Emma, who appeared in a tight black outfit. The black jeans and tight black top complemented her figure, and her makeup was diff
Emma walked away quickly, distancing herself from Mark. She turned around to make sure Mark wasn't following, then said firmly, "Mark, don't blame me. I don't want to be with you for another minute."She silently planned to call her best friend Nancy to come pick her up. Emma wanted to make sure Mark couldn't find her.After a while, someone answered the phone. Emma hastily asked her friend, "Where are you?""I'm at the club."The phone transmitted noise, and Emma could only hear Nancy's faint voice. "Can you come pick me up?""No, you're having dinner with Mark's family, right?"Although Nancy couldn't hear Emma clearly in the loud club, she knew Emma was meeting Mark's family today.Emma intended to explain further, but she noticed Mark searching for her in the distance. Without responding to Nancy, she quickly hung up. About 5 meters away, she saw a car with its door open. Without much thought, Emma ran towards the car and got inside.The crucial thing now was not to let Mark see h
In the nightclub, after receiving Emma's call, Nancy found her phone also turned off and unable to be restarted. She attempted to reboot it, and called Emma back, but in vain. Planning to leave the nightclub, she collided with a man."No manners, huh?"The ferocious man glared at her, and Nancy, wanting to leave quietly, restrained herself from speaking."Apologies."As Nancy took a step, the man grabbed her hand. Nancy's face lost its initial patience, and the man, upon seeing her face, became more desirous."Girl, an apology won't solve everything.""What do you want?"Nancy scornfully looked at the man before her, attempting to free her hand forcefully."What's your name? Do you want to have a drink with me?""Boring."Nancy was indifferent, and the man, angered by her response, attracted even more attention with his rude actions."You bump into me, and you act like this?"He forcefully pulled her hand, and in response, Nancy punched him in the face."You lunatic, do you want to di
A girl emerged from the restroom, her face filled with disdain. She was wearing an inexpensive outfit completely unsuitable for a modern upscale company."That girl looks terrible. Doesn't she know the standards for being the secretary of Jones Corporation?"The girls nearby had voluptuous figures, wearing stylish and extremely sexy outfits. Emma paid no attention; the girl everyone was criticizing was Emma herself.Today, Emma came to apply for the position of secretary for the CEO, David Jones. Emma had woken up very early to prepare, having met David before. So, to work at David's company, Emma needed to change her appearance.Emma wore a simple outfit, put on glasses, and tied her hair up. She looked at herself carefully in the mirror and was very pleased with it."Order, today Mr. David himself will conduct the interviews."The girls couldn't hide their excitement after hearing this; everyone quickly went to the restroom to touch up their makeup.The man who had just made the ann
Early the next morning after Emma's special visit, she arrived at the company early. In the office, David was sitting at his desk when there was a knock on the door."Come in."The man entered and handed him a folder; this man was Ren, David's longtime male assistant. They were quite familiar with each other due to their long working relationship."Director David, here are the documents you requested.""Okay, just leave it on the desk."David remained focused on his computer screen, although everyone knew him as a playboy heir, in reality, he never neglected his work.Ren placed the documents on the desk but lingered without any intention to leave, catching David's attention. He looked up with a puzzled expression, questioning Ren."Is there something?"Ren hesitated slightly under David's inquiry, his face turning downwards, unable to meet David's eyes.When Ren didn't provide a response, David impatiently asked again."So, what's the matter?""The secretary has been chosen, sir."Re
Emma was still absentmindedly staring at the papers she had doodled on when a stack of documents was placed in front of her."Director David said you have to complete this work today."Emma glanced at the stack of documents in front of her. It was clear that David was deliberately making things difficult for her, perhaps hoping she would give up the job."Alright."Emma didn't think much of it and agreed. She wasn't afraid of hard work and was determined to make David stop disliking her.Ren, who had dropped the papers on her desk, returned to his own workspace, feeling a bit puzzled as to why David was giving Emma such a hard time. He couldn't help but glance back at Emma, finding something intriguing about her."Do you think you can play hardball with me, David? Well, you're wrong."Emma tried to boost her own spirits; today, she was Laura, not Emma. Her desk faced Ren's.Emma put on her eyeglasses, took off her high heels, and began to work. It had taken some scheming to get into t
Despite her strong dislike, Emma tried to work as best as she could, as she was the only one left at the moment. Emma looked around, and seeing no one, she got up, gathered the pile of papers, and headed home, unaware that someone had been watching her all this time.When Emma reached home, she plopped onto her beloved bed. Since she agreed to interview at David's company, she had moved to a different apartment. Emma feared that her guise would be exposed, upsetting her mother.Just as she was about to get up to take a shower, her phone rang, so she quickly went to find it."Are you back from work?"The voice belonged to Roger. He had been waiting for Emma to reach out, but since she hadn’t, he decided to call her."I just got back."Emma replied without enthusiasm; she was exhausted and didn’t feel like talking to him."Can we meet?"Mark noticed Emma’s change in demeanor, but he was trying to stay in her good graces. If Emma wasn’t happy, it could spell trouble for his company.Emma
