Two Lives in Exchange for True Love

"My apologies, Ms. Jennings, but you're not allowed to enter without an invitation," the security guard said coldly as he blocked me at the entrance.This was the product launch that my parents had worked tirelessly to organize for Jasper Swanson. They poured a bunch of resources and funds into this, and yet, I wasn't invited. However, deep down, I felt a surge of joy. Because just a moment ago, I had been reborn, back to the day of the product launch.My family's status and wealth far exceeded that of the Swansons. Yet, I had always chased after Jasper, even though his heart only belonged to his first love, Coco Young. I never gave up, no matter how indifferent he was toward me.His mother, Valerie Morrison, was more than happy to approve of our relationship. As soon as Coco went abroad, they eagerly pushed for us to get engaged. However, Jasper never once looked at me with anything but disdain.Having witnessed me being snubbed countless times before, the security guard had no re

When I came to, I saw my mother's anxious face hovering above me. My hand instinctively went to my lower abdomen. It was flat, as if that tiny life had never existed inside me.In my previous life, my daughter was born frail. She had spent weeks in an incubator. At one point, the doctors even issued a critical notice.I used every connection I had to bring in specialists from abroad, staying outside the hospital room without a wink of sleep. Jasper only showed up at the hospital once, frowning as he suggested, "Maybe you should just let her go. That way, neither you nor our daughter will have to suffer." The ridiculous thing was, I'd actually thought he cared back then. But now, I knew better. Since I wasn't loved, our child shouldn't be brought into the world to suffer. "Wynne, I… the doctor said…" My mother hesitated, worried she might upset me."Mom, I'm fine now." I gently squeezed her hand. "Let's just forget about the engagement with the Swanson family."I stayed in the h

I snatched the ultrasound report from his hand, tore it up, and tossed the pieces into the air. Jasper's eyes widened in disbelief as the pieces of paper fluttered down. He suppressed his anger and said, "No wonder you were so confident. You've got something to hold over me."How laughable. He'd never experienced the brutal reality of the cutthroat business world. In our previous lives, when his business flourished, he thought it was all thanks to him. Now that I was leaving, it was time for him to learn just how cruel reality could be.He scoffed, "Forget about forcing me to marry you just because you're pregnant, Wynne. If you behave, I might consider letting you keep the baby—"Before he could finish, I slapped him hard. "Jasper, you really think you're special, don't you? Rest assured that thanks to you, the baby was gone the day I ran into you at the hospital!"The anger in his eyes was snuffed out in an instant. His voice was hoarse as he inquired, "Gone? What do you mean, go

Life abroad was simple and fulfilling. The only downside was probably that it was way too quiet.Whenever I felt homesick, I'd browse the live streaming app. I never expected to come across a familiar face that day. "Come on, guys! Don't miss out. Only 10 dollars with free shipping!" Coco was actually doing a live sales stream. Considering she'd always marketed herself as a socialite ever since getting with Jasper, this was a shock. Her previous streams were all about flaunting her luxurious lifestyle; rarely did she stoop to selling anything. But now, she'd started streaming again, and Jasper was sitting right beside her!The stream was advertised as the debut of a scion, which attracted a lot of young women. After all, Jasper still had some recognition back in Amveris.But no amount of beauty filters could hide his exhaustion. He looked painfully out of place, stiff and awkward in front of the camera. Coco kept nudging him with her elbow, and only then did he manage to mum

Drawing on memories from my previous life, I perfectly timed the rise of short dramas, securing the rights to several popular shows. The profits rolled in, filling my bank account to the brim.It wasn't long before Coco came crawling to me, begging for an opportunity. Out of respect for Gary, I cast her in a supporting role. Unfortunately for her, it was a typical feel-good drama where the vicious supporting character got slapped by several people.Gary brought Coco over with her face all swollen and bruised to thank me, and it took all my willpower not to laugh in their faces.With hit after hit under my belt, I earned a nomination for Best Producer. On the night of the awards ceremony, I had just stepped out of my stretched Lincoln when I saw a familiar figure waiting by the red carpet."Wyn—Ms. Jennings, long time no see," Jasper greeted me with a sycophantic smile, carefully lifting my dress for me. I glanced at him. The once glamorous scion of the Swanson family looked tired a
