概要

Feel-Good Story

Revenge

Freak

True and Fake Heiress

Face Slapping

The housekeeper’s daughter, Selena Greene, deliberately chose to get married on the same day, at the same hotel as me. When our cars passed each other on the way to our weddings, she rolled down her window and asked to switch my bridal bouquet with hers. My bouquet, however, wasn’t just any bouquet. It was hand-carved from priceless jadeite by my grandfather himself—a one-of-a-kind heirloom and his blessing for my wedding day. “Trish,” she pleaded softly, “please. I’ve sacrificed so much for this wedding. I just want it to be perfect. I’ll give it back to you as soon as we get out of the cars.” My heart softened. Against my better judgment, I handed her my bouquet and took her cheap, plastic flowers instead. However, when we stepped out of our cars, she refused to return it. Worse still, during her ceremony, she tossed my jade bouquet onto the floor, shattering it into countless pieces. That bouquet had been my grandfather’s way of being present at my wedding. It was all I had left of him. Yet, in front of everyone, Selena put on an innocent act and accused me, “Who takes back a bouquet after a switch? A glass bouquet like this is all over online shopping platforms for ten bucks. I’ll just pay you back. Trish, you’ve made my life hard enough on normal days. Do you have to humiliate me on the most important day of my life, too?” Furious, I confronted her, but she ducked behind my fiancé and my brother, wiping at her eyes like the victim. My fiancé immediately went to comfort her, leaving me standing alone at the ceremony, humiliated and ridiculed by everyone. My brother, too, called me cruel and heartless. He cut me off financially and threw me out of the family home. Selena’s husband, having quickly risen to success with the help of powerful backers, unleashed his relentless revenge on the now penniless and alone me. In the dead of winter, hired thugs found me and brutalized me to death. And Selena? She became their princess, adored by all three of them. I sank into darkness, full of rage and regret. However, when I opened my eyes again, I was transported back to the day of the wedding.

Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes, the sharp pain and bone-deep cold still clung to my body, as if death itself hadn’t fully let go. I doubled over, gagging.

“Miss Scott, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?” The makeup artist’s worried gaze locked on me.

I turned toward the mirror, my mind reeling. The reflection staring back at me wore a flawless bridal gown that hugged every curve, her makeup perfect down to the last detail.

“Miss Scott, do you see anything you’d like adjusted? If not, we’re ready to head out.”

The bridesmaids standing nearby were all smiles. To them, I was the most graceful bride they’d ever seen.

“Oh, and don’t forget your bouquet.”

The moment I saw the jade bouquet, the icy petals in my hands made me freeze in shock. That was when I realized I had been transported back in time.

My gaze swept over the festive scene before me, and bitter irony flickered in my eyes. This was the day my entire life had unraveled, but now, it was also the day everything would change.

Before I had been transported back in time, I had been betrothed since childhood to the eldest son of the Carter family. On our wedding day, I proudly carried the jade bouquet my granddad left me, the only memento of him after his passing. It was my way of believing he was there with me, blessing me.

What I hadn’t expected was for Selena Greene, the housekeeper’s daughter, to deliberately set her wedding on the exact same day, using the same route. When our cars passed each other, she thrust a bouquet of cheap plastic flowers toward me.

“Trish, please,” she begged. “I don’t want my groom's parents to look down on me. I’ve poured everything I have into this wedding. Just switch with me, okay? For good luck. We’ll be at the same hotel anyway. You’re in the grand ballroom, while I’m in the side hall. I’ll give it back to you at the entrance, I promise.”

Looking at her pitiful and teary eyes like some desperate Cinderella, my heart softened again, and I agreed. However, once we arrived at the hotel, she went straight into her ceremony. In the midst of laughter and applause, she tossed my jade bouquet into the air, letting it shatter into pieces on the ground.

And Selena? She only laughed, thanking her guests for coming, like nothing had happened.

Rage boiled over, and I stormed up to the stage, slapping Selena hard across the face.Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face.“Trish, I can look past how you always make my life hard. But this is my wedding!” she cried. “Who has ever heard of giving a bouquet back after a swap? These glass bouquets are all over online shopping platforms for just ten bucks. Fine, I’ll give you a hundred to make up for it!”My fiancé, Ian Carter, rushed to the stage and shielded her behind his back, while my brother, Sean Scott, stormed toward me, his face dark. Without a word, he slapped me hard across my cheek.“Enough. It’s just a bouquet! If you want one, I’ll buy you a truckload. Stop making a scene. This is Selena’s wedding!”I stared at him, shaking with anger as I shouted, “That bouquet is mine! It was carved from the finest jade by Granddad himself! It’s his blessing to me!”“Blessing?” Sean sneered. “It’s just a bunch of flowers. You’re acting like a spoiled prin

“Is the bride ready? We’re about to head out–”“Wait!” I called out to the bridesmaids and leaned in close to whisper something in one of their ears.“Miss Scott… you’re not joking, are you?” she asked, eyes wide with disbelief.I nodded firmly.“Here…”Then, as the notification of money transferring rang out on her phone, her expression changed instantly. She smiled brightly as she said, “I’ll take care of it right away.”I leaned back in my seat, staring out at the roadside scenery, lost in deep thought. No one understood why I insisted on taking such a remote route, but only I knew it was because I wanted to avoid the tragedy from my previous life.Yet, halfway down the road, fate collided with me again. Another bride on her way to her wedding appeared head-on.The car window rolled down, and Selena’s face peeked out.“Trish, what a coincidence,” she said sweetly. “Our weddings are on the same day and apparently even on the same route. I saw online that when two brides me

“How could this be? Trish, you’re joking, right?”Selena’s face turned pale as she stared at the fresh bouquet in my hands.I looked at her, a faint smile tugging at my lips.“I just came from paying respects to my granddad and my father. They can’t be with me at my wedding, so this is the only way I can include them. I went to the cemetery myself and told them I was getting married today. This bouquet is my way of honoring them, so that, from above, they’ll be able to witness it too. “I just didn’t expect to run into another bride on this route. It seems you had the unique idea of arranging your wedding convoy to pass right by the cemetery, Selena.”The crowd suddenly realized something was off.That was right. My granddad passed away last year, and he was a world-renowned artist who was mourned deeply when he died. My dad, on the other hand, had been killed in a car crash the very day I was born.The public opinion in the livestream shifted instantly.“Wait a second, doesn’t

Just as expected, Ian, Sean, and Flynn immediately rushed onto the stage to shield Selena behind them.Sean swung at me, but I dodged nimbly. In turn, he lost his balance and stumbled toward the edge of the stage. I didn’t hesitate to give him a firm kick and sent him tumbling down. Thankfully, I had switched my heels for flats in the car earlier.I turned my gaze back to Selena, a faint, mocking smile tugging at my lips.“Do you have any idea what it is you just smashed?”“It’s just a glass bouquet!” Selena’s eyes reddened as she pretended to look pitiful. “You can find those for ten bucks online!” she argued again.Sean’s face darkened from below the stage. “Enough. If you like it so much, I’ll order you a truckload of them! Get down now. You’re embarrassing yourself.”After all, it was still my wedding day. No matter how furious he was, he didn’t dare make a scene in front of everyone.“Trisha, if you keep making things hard for Selena, then this wedding’s off,” Ian threate

He looked at me, as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just saw.I nodded. “The media should still have the footage.”There was no way I was going to let Sean sweep that under the rug. Selena’s face went pale as she glanced between Sean and Ian. Despair filled her eyes.That bouquet was really worth a hundred million? Even if she sold herself, she could never repay it.“Fine, we’ll pay!”Sean and Ian gritted their teeth and finally stepped forward. With so many influential people watching, dragging it out any longer would only make things worse.“Pay? You think money can fix this? That bouquet was priceless! Trisha’s already being merciful, offering it to us for just a hundred million!”“Do you even understand the kind of sin you’ve committed?”Mr. Crossby and Mr. Lincoln, both long-time patrons of art and history, glared at the four of them with such fury that it looked like they might tear them apart on the spot.“Mr. Crossby, Mr. Lincoln, please don’t be upset…” I said soft

“Ms. Scott?”I smirked at the assistant standing before me, then glanced around the office. Sure enough, almost everyone in the company had been replaced.“Most of the shareholders have arrived. Would you like to review the refreshments and snacks before the meeting?”Selena forced herself to stay composed as she stepped past me. Pointing at me with a look of disdain, she snapped, “Just serve these. And tell me, who let in an outsider? Don’t you know today’s the shareholders’ meeting?”“I’ll throw her out immediately,” the assistant said, bowing and scraping.I fixed my gaze on the assistant. “If you don’t want to be fired, you’d better not listen to her. I want to see Sean.”The assistant’s eyes flashed with mockery. “And who do you think you are? Ms. Scott is Mr. Scott’s most beloved sister! Leave now, or don’t blame us for getting rough!”Selena looked up from her phone, her voice suddenly sharp. “The records department just reported a missing file. Was that you? I saw you sn

“Mom…” I dove into her arms.“My girl, you’ve been through so much.” She stroked my hair, her eyes full of tenderness.“How is this possible… Wasn’t your flight the one that crashed?” Sean asked“Oh, that flight?” she answered lightly. “I never boarded that plane. I can’t believe you’re bold enough to bribe my assistant, Sean. If I hadn’t come back, who knows where you two illegitimate siblings would’ve sent my daughter off to? Hiring killers is a crime, Sean. You really went that far, huh?”Sean’s eyes flickered sinisterly. Even if we found out, without proof, he’d walk free.Mom’s face hardened. Did they really think she was dead and gone?“Sean,” she said, voice icy, “you may be a Scott, but you’re not a part of this family. By blood, we’re not related at all. You have no right to inherit anything from us. When your father passed away early, I only kept you around because I pitied you and because I thought Trisha needed someone to watch over her, but it seems I have raised a t

Chapter 9
After Sean left the Scott family, he quickly pulled out everything he had invested in Scott Corporation. Together with Ian and Selena’s husband, Flynn, he founded a new company.At first, both Sean and Ian were strapped for cash. After all, they had lost a hundred million dollars. Hence, when Flynn failed to contribute any capital, they were annoyed with him. During his years at Scott Corporation, Sean had managed to steal some core technologies. Those technologies brought him significant profit, helping him gain a foothold almost immediately.With that, Sean grew arrogant. He truly believed he could rise higher than Scott Corporation itself.I poured tea into Mom’s cup and Gwen’s, smiling faintly. “The prey has taken the bait.”To ruin someone completely, all you had to do was lift them high first. The higher they fell, the more fatal the kill.“I’ve had people spread word that Scott Corporation is running into cash flow problems,” I explained.Mom’s eyes shone with approval.

Ian panicked. He wanted desperately to return to the Carters. However, Gwen had handed over evidence of his embezzling of company funds to James Carter, their father.James was so furious that he suffered a stroke and was left half-paralyzed in bed. With the company’s finances in shambles, James had no choice but to sell off Carter Inc.’s shares.Through our cooperation, Gwen quietly bought them up at low prices. Piece by piece, she swallowed all of Carter Inc. without anyone realizing until it was too late. As for Ian, he was abandoned by the Carters and reduced to homelessness.Meanwhile, Sean tried to resist, relying on the core technology he still controlled. However, even he was betrayed. Flynn, tired of Sean’s arrogance, secretly leaked his technology to rival companies. Just like that, Sean lost his last bargaining chip.“It’s about time we close the net,” I said with a smile, finishing the last sip of tea in my hand.The alliance of four collapsed quickly.
