The Wrong Person Chapter 21
Eden had become complacent and forgotten that this was a reenactment of how she broke Jaime’s heart by defending Jericho again and again.Jericho was ramping up his aggression by then and had colluded with Eden's business rivals to leak trade secrets. He even staged a fraudulent investment scheme to plunge Eden's company into an unprecedented crisis.The customer base dwindled immediately after that. After a string of interrupted cash flow and employee layoffs, Eden found herself on the brink of bankruptcy.When she was at her wits' end, Jaime went up to her and suggested, with tears in his eyes, “Eden, let’s break up.”“Jaime, this is not the time!” Eden grumbled irritably, “The company is facing a crisis. I don’t have the time to explain the situation to you right now!”“I’m not doing this because I want to cause trouble for you.” Jaime had to fight back tears when he spoke, “Between seeing you and Jericho together and the company’s crisis, I don’t think I can do it anymore. I’m
The Wrong Person Chapter 20
Though people around Eden continued to joke about her husband being too controlling, Eden was content with what she had.She realized how much she owed Jamie in her past life and vowed to make up for it in her current life by pampering him endlessly.After Jaime graduated, his father offered to recruit Eden into the family business. He even expressed interest in letting Eden oversee high-priority projects.However, Eden declined.In her past life, she leveraged the vast resources of Barthes Corporation to climb the social ladder. Down the road, she let the success get to her head and started to take it for granted.In this life, she would rather bring Jaime the happiness he deserved on her own effort. She did not live under the shadow of Barthes Corporation.“Thank you for the offer, Mr. Barthes.” She said sincerely before explaining, “But I want to start my own business. I promise I will marry Jamie properly once I make a name for myself.”When Marcus looked into the spark of d

Eden's Extra.The suffocating feeling withdrew suddenly and completely, causing Eden to draw her eyes wide open.She found herself in a large banquet hall with a magnificent dome sparkling with gold. Someone was playing a melodious waltz, which resounded in the venue, with its sweet sound mingled with the cheerful laughter of guests.When she looked down, she realized she was wearing a white dress that seemed rather juvenile. Additionally, the bracelet her late mother had given to her as a memento was strapped to her wrist. It was the exact same thing she wore when she was eighteen. The scene she was now beholding was that of Jaime's fifteenth birthday party.Then, she felt a tap on her shoulder.“Eden, what are you daydreaming about?”It was her childhood friend who patted her shoulder. She teased Eden, “He’s going to be here soon! Mrs. Barthes threw such a grand party for his fifteenth birthday that everyone barely had a chance to talk to him. You better seize your chance!”

Eden looked down at the knife plunged into her chest, then at Jaime. With a strained smile, she uttered, “Jaime...this time... I finally... managed to protect you…”With that, she gave out and collapsed into Jaime's arms.He caught her without thinking. When the warmth slowly left her body, he felt a turmoil of conflicting emotions inside him.He had hated her vehemently and still did to some extent, yet he found himself at a loss for words when he witnessed her sacrificing her life for him.He whispered her name gently, “Eden.”With great effort, she blearily opened her eyes. Her expression was one with equal parts yearning and regret. “Jaime, I'm sorry. If… there's a next life... I promise… I will love you the way you deserve to be loved… I won’t let you down…”Then, her head lolled to the side as she heaved her final breath.[Three… two… one… commencing transmigration.]When the system issued the announcement, Jamie suddenly disappeared from the villa.When he opened his ey

Jaime stared speechlessly at the empty villa.He did not expect himself to end up imprisoned by Eden again.“Eden, let me go! The system will take me away eventually. You can’t keep me even if you try.”“System?" Eden was confused but brushed it off with a hearty laugh. “Jaime, are you scared? Come on, don’t stress yourself out. You won’t leave me. Forget about the system or whatever it is.”Jaime ignored her and sat on the couch instead. He was biding his time for the countdown to finish.Eden felt deeply hurt by the way Jaime was ignoring her.She realized he still hated her to the bone.However, she was not willing to give up. She was going to great lengths to make amends and win him back.With that, she went into the kitchen to cook something for him.She remembered how much Jaime used to love the beef stew she made.When Jaime noticed Eden retreating into the kitchen, he breathed a sigh of relief.He seized the chance to search for an exit, only to find that all the doo

[Repair is at eighty-five percent completion. The estimated time remaining is fifteen minutes. Please continue stalling.]As soon as the system issued the reminder, Eden suddenly took advantage of Lana’s momentary distraction and lunged forward. She managed to land a blow right across Lana’s face.Lana was caught off guard and staggered backward from the blow. A drop of blood trickled from her mouth.Eden charged at her again while crying out furiously, “Lana, I am your enemy!”With that, the two were tangled in a furious battle again. The situation grew chaotic in an instant.Meanwhile, Jaime, who was in the corner, could tell the universe was rapidly deteriorating. The cracks on the wall were widening by the second, and the ground below his feet was shaking.He asked the system in his mind, ‘Is there any way you can speed up the repair?’[The repair process cannot be accelerated. You have to stall as best as you can.]Helpless, all he could do was watch as Eden and Lana fough
