LOGINOn the day my wife, Abigail Jefferson, and Dominic Gorman, the university student she has been sponsoring, post their pre-wedding photos on their social media feed, I don't lash out at them crazily as I usually do. Instead, I leave a like and a comment on their posts. "You two make a great couple. Everyone, let's give our blessings to the newlyweds." Everyone in elite society thinks of me as the most cowardly husband ever, who lets the side piece make a doormat out of him. One week later, Abigail comes home and explains, "This is just an act. Dominic's grandma is ill, and she wishes to see him get married before she passes away." I just nod calmly in return. "I didn't take it seriously. Of course, I believe you." In my previous life, I showed up at Abigail and Dominic's wedding to cause chaos for them. Naturally, their wedding couldn't go on because of me. Abigail began targeting my parents' company in order to punish me. My parents ended up going bankrupt and were forced to jump off a building. She had me admitted into a mental asylum, where I was tortured to insanity. Now that I'm given a second chance in life, I no longer yearn for Abigail's love. I just want her money this time. Every time she cheats on me, I'll transfer some of her assets to my name. Abigail now has three more chances before she ends up losing everything.

Also, put Plan B in motion. Transfer all the cash flow from the subsidiaries we acquired earlier and fight back with everything we've got."Since Abigail wants to play hardball in the business world, then I'll show her how it's really played."The next three days were all-out war.Thanks to my tip, Abigail's prized overseas funds were frozen in an instant.The money she'd dumped into the stock market got crushed under the weight of my cash flow, leaving her with nothing.On top of that, she was now under formal police investigation for suspected stock market manipulation and money laundering.A week later, Abigail was arrested.However, instead of being sent to prison, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.That was because she'd completely lost her mind at the time of her arrest.
The guests below finally snapped out of their shock, and the previously quiet banquet hall instantly erupted into chaos, with whispered murmurs turning into loud jeers and discussion."Oh my god, Abigail actually dared to cheat even after signing such an agreement. She totally brought it on herself.""Nathaniel sure plays hardball. He went straight for the jugular.""Serves Abigail right for flaunting Dominic in front of Nathaniel. Now look—not only is she left with nothing, but she's also drowning in debt.""This is going to be good. How's she going to pay off a two-billion-dollar debt?"I smiled and looked at Abigail with pity in my eyes. "Darling, I just took back what was mine. Only this time, you've lost completely."Abigail's composure was finally shattered."You must be insane. You're so twisted that you'd scheme against me, your own wife? You're mentally ill. I'll have you locked up in a psychiatric hospital."The moment I heard the words "psychiatric hospital", my gaze
"What did you say?" Abigail's hand jerked, nearly making her drop the phone."Jacob, have you lost your mind? I'm Abigail Jefferson, the CEO. How dare you betray me?""Ms. Jefferson, please conduct yourself appropriately. I am currently reporting to Mr. Thayer."Jacob hung up immediately after speaking.The dial tone echoed through the silent banquet hall, each ring landing like a resounding slap.Abigail stood frozen in place.Then, she frantically called the bank and the CFO, Todd Becker."Hello? This is Abigail Jefferson. Check why my account shows it's frozen.""Hello! Todd? What happened to the company's working capital? What do you mean it's been transferred out? Transferred to whom?"On the other end of the line, all that came back was the mechanical, cold dial tone or the despair-inducing reply."There's been an anomaly in your account.""The working capital has been totally cleared out."The phone slipped from Abigail's hand and hit the floor with a heavy thud. The
When Dominic realized I wasn't falling for it, his eyes darted shiftily before he suddenly shouted, "Everyone, please be the judge here."Nathaniel puts on a show of being supportive of this fake wedding, and yet just the other day, he came to the store and deliberately tore my suit. I'd like to point out that this suit was commissioned by Abigail specifically for me."With tears flowing dramatically, he pointed to the conspicuous repair on the suit's cuff. "He pretended to be so kind, but behind our backs, he's pure venom. And now he conjures up fake financial statements to ruin my wedding."He's nothing but a two-faced liar! A lunatic!"At his words, the guests below immediately began murmuring among themselves."Tearing someone's suit? That's just classless.""So, Nathaniel's magnanimity was all an act?""Looks like Nathaniel has really gone off the deep end."Taking in the suspicious stares from everyone, I let out an exasperated laugh.I raised the microphone and said, "A
