Trashing Her Luck Charm Made Her Explode

"With me at the table today, winning's a sure thing! I'm basically a lucky charm. Who'd pass that up?" Regina Wade said, gazing at everyone confidently.

In that instant, I realized I had been reborn!

In my previous life, Regina kept claiming she was a lucky charm. Everyone who took her advice and joined the bet struck it rich.

But I was the only one who lost everything.

I thought once I paid off my gambling debts, it would be over, but things only got worse.

Out of nowhere, I was saddled with massive debt, hit by cars again and again, struck by falling flowerpots, and even suddenly plagued by illness overnight, with hospitals turning me away.

I hadn't done a thing!

I was instantly furious, itching to get to the bottom of it.

"I won't be going."

The moment I finished speaking, the whole room fell silent. The face of my husband, Jake Burns, darkened at once.

"Ariel Nichols, are you nuts? Reggie landed this major project by her own luck, but you took sick leave. Never mind that. But now there's a bet that's practically free money, and you're refusing to go? What exactly is your problem? Are you determined to go against Reggie?"

Everyone instantly rolled their eyes at me.

"Some people just like to freeload! Suit yourself. When we've made money, you'll definitely regret your decision!"

"Exactly! Everyone knows how lucky Regina is. So many people are watching this bet. Only an idiot would skip it!"

I clenched my teeth and ignored them. No one knew what I had gone through in my previous life.

Since I was given a second chance, I had to make sure it counted.

Regina chuckled softly and looked at me. "Are you really not coming? Just don't regret it when we win big."

"No need to persuade me. I won't go!"

Regina sighed in disappointment. "Fine, then. If Ariel refuses to go, I guess it'll just be us."

I knew it. She still wanted me to go!

My horrible luck must have had something to do with her.
