The car was steeped in silence. Marcellus seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking slowly. “The reason I brought Elias here is that I’m preparing to let him start handling some things for me.” His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable firmness. “No matter how many conflicts exist between us, he is still my brother, one of the few people I can trust.”

He paused, his gaze shifting to the window, as if recalling Elias’s earlier outburst. His tone softened slightly. “As for why he was so angry… perhaps he was worried about you. This place is cold, and the climate isn’t great. He might be afraid you’ll get sick. He doesn’t say it outright, but he does care about you.”

Marcellus’s expression grew subtle, and a trace of mockery crept into his tone. “Though his ‘concern’ seems a bit excessive.”

Alia listened to his words, a cold sneer rising in her heart. That tone—it’s jealousy, plain and simple. While she found it amusing, a trace of annoyance also surfaced.

“Why is he so angry?

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 376 — Alia? Livia!

    But when the column of light fell upon Alia, she did not collapse, nor did she so much as cry out in pain.Instead—It was as if the air itself were gently parted by an invisible hand.A ring of translucent ripples spread outward from Alia’s feet, slow and silent, like a drop of water disturbing a still lake.And then, all at once, everyone’s pupils constricted.Because memories appeared.Not inside Alia’s mind—but projected into reality itself, unfolding like a vivid, silent illusion across the air.And every single person present could see them.It felt as though they were all being pulled into Livia’s world.⸻◆ The Memories BeginAt first, Alia’s body still stood within the beam of light.But the perspective in the projected image—her movements, the way the world framed around her—shifted subtly, unmistakably.This was not Alia.This was— Livia.Livia walked down an ancient stone path, her steps soft yet unbearably heavy.Her body looked drained to the point of collapse, shoulder

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 375 — The Holy Grail Reunites

    “Hahaha… like father, like daughter. Well, well, well.”Jim’s lips curled into a smirk, his laughter carrying a deliberate edge of mockery and provocation. It slithered through the air like a cold, sharp wind, deliberately cutting at the tension around him. Slowly, he shifted his gaze toward Emma. His eyes were like twin blades slicing through the space between them.“Emma… what about you?” he said, voice low but sharp. “You’re a wanted criminal. Dare to appear here, and yet… you’re not afraid of being caught along with me, are you?”The words landed like stones in a still pond. The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly. Every gaze in the clearing snapped toward Emma. The weight of expectation, suspicion, and tension pressed down like an invisible force, as if the world itself had stilled in anticipation.Emma lifted her chin slightly, her hair dusted with fragments of stone and dirt clinging to her face, yet her eyes were bright, unwavering, and full of resolve.“I have a clear

    “What is going on here?”Edgar’s voice rolled across the clearing—deep, steady, carrying the weight of authority—yet even he could not entirely hide the faint strain sharpening its edges.The slanted shaft of light cut through drifting dust, and every pair of eyes fixed on the man trapped behind the newly fallen stone barrier.Then Jim suddenly raised his voice, loud enough to echo inside the narrow space, as if he had grabbed onto his last lifeline.“Boss, my cover’s blown! You have to tell your daughter—we’re on the same side!”His shout was like a boulder thrown into a perfectly still lake.Expressions changed instantly.Especially—Eryx.His face drained of color, then flushed a violent blue-red within a heartbeat, as if someone had slapped him in front of the entire world.As for Edgar?He didn’t flinch.Not even a pause in his breathing.It was as if he had foreseen every possible twist, had rehearsed every answer, and was now merely watching a play unfold exactly as predicted.

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 373 – Reunion

    In truth, the reason Elias was able to pinpoint, among countless possibilities, that David was in fact Jim—was far from coincidence.It was because Emma knew Jim too well.Uncomfortably well.Whether it was the subtle way he habitually concealed his breathing, the faint rhythm change hidden in his tone when he spoke, the unconscious distribution of weight in his stance, or the minuscule shift of his gaze whenever he surveyed his surroundings—these were details impossible to detect unless one had truly crossed blades with Jim for years, or been close enough to study the tiniest fracture in his mask.Thus, when Elias had already narrowed the pool of suspects, Emma used her intimate familiarity with Jim to eliminate the impossible one by one—until, within merely a few hours after arriving on the island today, through several nearly invisible behavioral clues, she finally confirmed with absolute, unshakable certainty:David was Jim in disguise.And the trap set at the cave entrance—the

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 372 – Reinforcements: Emma!

    Jim’s voice emerged from the shadows of the cave, low, deep, and mysterious, carrying a subtle but unmistakable hint of disdain, almost like a soft blade of arrogance sliding across the air.“Actually… you don’t need to literally say a wish to the Holy Grail itself. You see, as long as your inner desire, your personal, burning, all-consuming wish, is strong enough, the Grail will sense it naturally when you approach it. It doesn’t analyze or judge the consequences of your wish, it doesn’t ponder whether your desire will bring chaos or peace—it simply responds. But the stronger your desire, the more certain it is to manifest into reality.”As soon as the last word left his lips, the air seemed to thicken and freeze.Elias and Alia both instinctively halted, their breaths caught, brows furrowed in concentration, their minds processing Jim’s confirmation of the rules they had only glimpsed in the old diary.Even though they had studied the mysterious rules and known fragments of the Grai

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 371 – Jim Emerges

    “You’re not afraid? Once everyone gets here, you won’t be able to run.”Elias’s voice grew colder, as if he were building a wall across the cave entrance with nothing but words.The sealed cavern was unnervingly silent, the air thick with a damp, metallic taste that clung to the throat.Yet Jim inside remained maddeningly relaxed—so at ease it made one’s skin crawl.“I told you already.”Jim chuckled.The sound slid against the stone surface as it escaped, like a cold serpent tracing along the wall.“Think carefully about whose man I am. When the others arrive… how many of them will help me? And how many will help you?”The words fell like pebbles into still water—and the ripples were impossible to ignore.Elias and Alia kept their faces steady, but Jim’s words struck exactly at the weakness they shared:the hints in the diary,Edgar’s obsession,those inexplicable moments of trust and strangeness…If Edgar truly was Jim’s real master—then everything finally made sense.Silence fell
