After our parents passed away, two couples approached Serena and me at the same time, both wishing to adopt us. Serena dashed ahead, rushing toward the impoverished couple before I could move. “Hill, I’ll let you have the wealthy family,” she said, looking at me with a sweet smile. “I only care about your happiness.” However, I could hear her inner thoughts perfectly clear. She was privately gloating, telling me to enjoy being used as a mere tool for a business marriage, trapped inside a mansion for the rest of my life. That was when I knew—she had been reborn too. In our past life, Serena had been the one to rush toward the luxury cars, successfully becoming the pampered daughter of a wealthy family. Yet, she couldn’t handle their strict rules and discipline. She ended up sneaking out at night to wild out at bars, accidentally leaked classified family secrets, and was ultimately kicked out of the house. Meanwhile, I relied entirely on my own hard work to study abroad, eventually becoming a world-renowned scientific genius. On the day I was set to receive my grand award, Serena completely lost her mind. She stormed the stage and drove a knife straight into my body. “Why do you get to live such a free and successful life?!” she screamed. As she wished, we were both given a second chance to choose. Without a shred of hesitation, I turned around and stepped straight into the luxury car. She had no idea that without money, true freedom didn’t even exist. And this wealthy family? They were nothing more than my stepping stone in this life.

She Took the Rags, I Took the Empire Chapter 9
One week later, I returned to the laboratory.Although I had missed the official competition, it wouldn’t hinder me from publishing my research findings independently. Having won that exact award in my previous life, I knew precisely what it stood for, and more importantly, what it didn’t. Ultimately, it was nothing more than the trivial difference of missing a title. The things of true value were never found under the flashing spotlights anyway; they lived right here, inside this tedious, quiet laboratory.This time, I chose to announce the research directly under the name of our family conglomerate. My adoptive parents utilized the breakthrough as a foundation to launch brand-new corporate projects, single-handedly dragging the stagnant company back from the brink of severe financial loss.That evening, my father spoke to me with solemnity.“Hill, from this day forward, the matter of the arranged marriage alliance will never be brought up again,” he declared. “You are the most ex

I froze in surprise.The realization immediately flashed through my mind that I couldn’t hear his inner thoughts at all. Could it be that he was reborn as well?Galen seemed to see right through my sudden realization. The corners of his lips curved slightly upward, and he gave a slow nod.“You’re right,” he admitted smoothly. “I also came back from the previous life.”He paused, his gaze fixed on me. “However, I don’t possess your ability to hear everyone’s inner thoughts. I can only hear yours.”I instinctively held my breath, stunned by his words.“I apologize,” Galen added softly, looking away toward the window. “I know it might sound intrusive, but I simply wanted to tell you the truth.”He watched the scenery outside for a moment before continuing. “On the day of the competition, I saw you sprinting out of the venue in a frantic rush, and I immediately knew something terrible had happened. Once I uncovered what was actually going on, I decided to teach Serena a lesson. I kn
She Took the Rags, I Took the Empire Chapter 7
It was Serena.She had somehow found an iron pipe and was rushing toward us, her features contorted into a hideous, feral grimace. Her hair was completely disheveled, the angry red handprint from the kidnapper’s slap still burned on her cheek, and her eyes were wild with insanity.“Go to hell! Both of you can go to hell!” she shrieked.Owen threw his body in front of mine. The heavy iron pipe struck his back yet again, emitting a sickening, muffled crack. His entire frame shuddered violently from the impact, but he stubbornly kept his arms wrapped around me, shielding me completely in his embrace.Tears instantly welled up and spilled down my face.Having lived through two entire lifetimes, I had always carried every burden silently and alone. This was the exact first time I had ever experienced the feeling of being protected by someone else.Boom!The deafening roar of an explosion detonated right beside our ears. Thick smoke billowed wildly in all directions, and the entire st

Just as I was about to burst through the main doors, Serena’s inner thoughts suddenly echoed in my ears.She was nearby.Serena thought to herself, “That idiot Hill definitely doesn’t know that the back mountain is just a decoy. I already had Owen tied up at the abandoned chemical plant nearby. When the time comes, I’ll make sure both of them burn to ashes in a roaring fire!”My footsteps came to a sudden, violent halt as the realization washed over me.This was a trap Serena had personally laid out for me. In this life, she had tracked down the exact same criminal gang that had targeted the Barrington family before, making a deal with them ahead of schedule. She had completely altered her tactics, calculating a way to drag me into the crosshairs as well. This time, she wasn’t satisfied with merely ruining my life—she wanted both Owen and me dead.Without a single shred of hesitation, I sprinted out of the venue while pulling out my phone. I dialed the head butler, rapidly explain

Mom’s expression softened slightly. “Owen, you know as well as we do that the Herbert family has incredibly high standards for a marriage partner. We are doing this for the sake of the family business.”Owen lowered his gaze, his dark eyelashes casting shadows as he intensely pondered something.“

My adoptive parents finally returned home by dinnertime.They were exactly as the rumors described them—powerful, commanding figures who naturally exuded the heavy, suffocating pressure of elite high society.“So, you are Hill?” my adoptive father asked, his sharp eyes scanning me.I offered a po

The very moment I heard my sister Serena’s inner thoughts, I knew she had been reborn, too.I watched as she threw herself into the arms of the impoverished couple, turning to me with a perfectly staged, saintly look on her face.“I don’t need a life of luxury and wealth,” Serena said. “I only wan
