Chapter 3

Autor: Perfect Timing
I subconsciously glanced at the time. There were still eight hours left before the USB drive was supposed to be delivered.

No wonder Jenna wasn't in a hurry. With that thought, I quickly switched to a burner account and entered her live stream.

By then, she had already dragged Ricky into a real estate sales office. On my screen, she arrogantly rejected the agent's recommendation of a luxury apartment.

"Can't you tell what I'm looking for? Do I look like someone who'd settle for an apartment? I want a mansion!"

There were only a handful of viewers in the live stream, but they were all Jenna's die-hard fans. "Wow, Jenna, did you strike it rich? It's only been a few days since your last stream, and you've already moved up a whole social class?"

Upon reading the flattery, Jenna became even more smug. Without even trying to hide the arrogance on her face, she pointed at a model and shouted, "That one. I'll be paying for it in full!"

The agent froze for a second, then immediately put on a flattering smile and pulled out the card reader. "Miss, that'll be 32 million dollars."

That staggering number instantly sent the entire live stream into a frenzy. "It's that expensive? That's a joke, right? Are you seriously buying it, Jenna?"

"I'm stunned. Even if I worked for 20 years, all I would be able to afford would be a toilet in Jenna's house."

Comments poured in nonstop, and naturally, it greatly stroked Jenna's ego.

Covering her mouth, Jenna chuckled, saying, "Having money is all about luck. Of course, if you weren't born with it, you'll never have it in your lifetime."

For nearly ten minutes, Jenna bragged arrogantly about how rich she was.

Meanwhile, the sales agent stood there awkwardly with the card reader, her smile stiff on her face.

She then spoke cautiously. "Ms. Bryant, are you still buying the house?"

The sudden question instantly irritated Jenna. She barked, "Are you questioning my ability to pay?"

Ricky immediately jumped in to back her up and even called her his wife. "Are you looking down on my wife? We could easily afford three mansions if we wanted to, let alone one!"

Frowning slightly, I silently studied Jenna's expression.

As far as I knew, even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money.

Jenna was just a small-time streamer who spent her days gossiping about drama between women online to attract a few wealthy viewers.

She made decent money, sure, but she also spent it just as fast.

This overseas trip had been her idea, but I was the one who paid for the plane tickets, the hotel, and most of the meals.

I'd believe it if she said she had 300 thousand dollars, but 30 million dollars? That wasn't quite possible. Just as I was trying to figure out how she got the money, Jenna suddenly sneered in the live stream and angrily pointed at the sales agent.

"Get your boss here. I want a different agent."

The agent looked humiliated, but she didn't dare offend a customer.

A few minutes later, a different sales agent came. To my shock, Jenna actually paid for the mansion.

With a casual wave of her hand, she spent 32 million dollars, and that was only just the beginning.

Soon after, she moved on to a luxury car dealership.

Holding Ricky's hand, she asked, "Didn't you say you like Land Rovers, darling? What color do you want? I'll buy it for you."

Everyone in the showroom was stunned by her extravagance, and a hint of envy appeared on their faces.

Three minutes later, Jenna spent another seven million, bringing the total close to 40 million dollars. Where exactly did all this money come from?

I found myself lost in thought again, remembering how the tycoon didn't reward that "good Samaritan" who delivered the USB drive until 8:00 pm in my past life.

But right now it was only 2:00 pm, which meant there could only be one possibility—Jenna had already met that tycoon, and she had already received a massive reward from him.

It would seem her retribution was going to come earlier than I thought. After all, whatever was inside that USB drive was definitely not something ordinary people like us should ever get involved with.

  • The USB of Death   Chapter 8

    Jenna was dumbfounded. "You… You were reborn too?"I pressed my lips together, answering, "Yeah. Maybe the universe noticed how unjustly I died, so it gave me a second chance at life. Jenna, in this life, you're going to face the consequences of your greed."With that, I hung up. On the live stream, Jenna was so devastated she couldn't even cry anymore. As Keith wasn't the type to be merciful, he pinned Jenna to the ground and punched her face repeatedly.To him, Jenna was no different from a punching bag that could talk. This was his usual way of handling things, of course.When the time was right, I called the police. With such solid evidence, the police wasted no time responding.Keith was arrested for attempted murder. He and I had grown up together. He was stubborn, even somewhat obsessive.As a result, his pursuit of perfection gave him a high chance of success, but his fatal flaw was his explosive temper. When he snapped, he was truly frightening.Back then, he had gone

    As soon as Jenna finished speaking, Keith kicked her hard in the stomach, causing her to shriek in pain.Keith, however, merely looked at her calmly as if he had done nothing. "You're the first person who's ever dared to take money from me."Ricky had no idea what was going on. He didn't even know who Keith was, so he lunged forward, trying to assault him. But before he could get close, Keith's bodyguards stopped him."Know your place."As Ricky cried out in pain, Jenna began trembling even more violently.Keith had no plans on being courteous as he grabbed her by the chin. "Tell me. How many of my secrets did you see? I couldn't deal with you earlier because I was abroad, but I'm back now. Didn't you want money? 100 million dollars isn't enough, right? How about I give you a billion dollars?"The usually money-hungry Jenna went deathly pale in fear. A yellow liquid even began spreading under her wedding dress all of a sudden.She kept backing away, screaming, "N-No! Mr. Fritz,

  • The USB of Death   Chapter 6

    Inevitably, a few people in the group chat started asking questions about my relationship with Ricky.But to Jenna, these words came across as blatant provocation.She lost her temper all of a sudden. "Ricky is his own person! Who he likes or who he marries is his business! Who are you to decide for him?"After that outburst, no one dared to speak again. Immediately after, Jenna sent money to them via Venmo.She then declared, "Anyone who shows up to congratulate me on my wedding will get ten thousand dollars."Who would turn down money in today's world? So when she said that, the group chat buzzed with activity again. But this time, everyone unanimously flattered Jenna."I've always thought Ricky and Jenna are made for each other!""Me too! I even shipped you two back in school. You were really close back then, weren't you?""Now that you're getting married, I guess that's like the perfect way to end that chapter of your youth!"I couldn't help but laugh upon seeing how every

    The thought of how Jenna killed me in my past life sent a shiver down my spine.Without much hesitation, I booked a high-speed train ticket, took a quick shower, and left without looking back.At the train station, a pop-up appeared on my phone connected to my home security. Someone had arrived at my house.I immediately checked the camera, only to find Jenna and Ricky there.In the dim light, a glint from Jenna's hand was strikingly harsh.I knew what it was immediately. It was the same knife that had taken my life in my past life.Even though I knew I wouldn't die this time, fear still overtook me.My whole body went limp, and I slumped into the massage chair. I could only watch as they quickly slipped into my house, disappearing from view.I called the police right away and gave them a brief explanation before boarding the train.I had picked the destination without thinking. As my only concern was getting away, I hadn't even checked where the train was headed.It was only

  • The USB of Death   Chapter 4

    Jenna's live stream had been going on for four straight hours.The whole time, she was either flaunting her wealth or bragging about her love with Ricky.At one point, one of our college classmates joined the stream by chance and asked, "Wait, isn't Ricky married to Valerie? When did you two even get together?"The moment the question came up, Jenna's face darkened. "My husband did have a relationship with Valerie, but he was forced into it. If Valerie hadn't lied about having depression, Ricky wouldn't have felt sorry enough to be with her! We're the ones who are meant to be together!"After that, she quickly ended the stream.With a scowl, I put my phone away before heading into my house. Ricky had left in a hurry, so the house was a complete mess because of him.Thankfully, nothing valuable was missing. After doing a rough check, I contacted my lawyer.I had originally planned for a peaceful divorce, but thinking back to what he did to me in my previous life, I decided that h
