Chapter 1

"If you take that money, then you're no better than a hooker, Queenie York! You know that those wealthy men just love to take advantage of young women, and by agreeing, you're only enabling their terrible behavior! You're not going to accept his money, right, Queenie?" Julie Sutton asked.I gaped at Julie, whose face was flushed from anger. I then glanced at Connor Greene, a golden boy in Brookhaven, who was standing there with a check for 50 million dollars.It was then that I realized that I had been reborn—sent back to the very day I discovered that I was pregnant.Upon noticing my silence, Julie grew visibly anxious. She took my hand and said earnestly, "You ought to know that money isn't everything, Queenie. If you sell yourself out for just 50 million dollars, then you're no better than those escorts working in clubs. "You must not keep this baby—it's a disaster waiting to happen and will eventually destroy your whole life. "You ought to know that even though we are broke,

Chapter 2

Having handed over the 50-million-dollar check, Connor added, "I'll transfer the remaining ten million dollars once the baby is born."I nodded with pleasure, thinking that wealthy people really knew how to get things done.In my past life, I had taken Julie's advice and made a huge public spectacle of the situation, even taking Connor to court.He had proof that he had been drugged and wasn't in his right mind, though, so he got off scot-free while I lost every last dime my family had trying to fight him in court. Thus, when my parents fell seriously ill later on, I had nothing left to help pay for their treatment.Upon hearing that, Julie crossed her arms and tutted. "You'd better listen up here, Connor. Don't assume that just because you're a member of the elite in Brookhaven that people from poor families like ours will grovel before you."Queenie is just having a moment of weakness right now. I'll make sure she chooses the path of righteousness as long as I'm here by her side!"I

I searched through my handbag for a while, but the check was nowhere to be found. It hit me then that Julie had touched my handbag earlier just as I was leaving. I immediately tried to call her, only to find that her phone was turned off.I quickly rushed downstairs, hailed a cab, and went straight to her place. I noticed that she wasn't home yet, so I waited outside. It wasn't long before Julie showed up, looking completely drenched from the rain.Upon seeing me, Julie immediately sneered. "I figured once you got in Mr. Greene's car, you'd be swept up by the luxury and wouldn't be seen again. You ought to know that being a rich man's wife isn't easy, Queenie. Those people will use you up until there's nothing left."I never noticed before how little integrity you had, selling yourself for money. It's a good thing that you have me here by your side. I'll show you the right way to live and what it means to be a person of real honor."I wasn't in the mood to listen to her ramblings. I we

It was a week later when Connor dropped by my place to check on me.I had no idea how Julie found out about it, but she soon also showed up at my place and launched into an impassioned tirade."Have you come to your senses yet, Queenie? You can't keep this baby—it's a result of a terrible mistake! If you go through with this, I can't be your friend anymore, and you'll be a source of shame to everyone you know!"Upon seeing that I was ignoring her, Julie headed straight for Connor. With a glint flashing in her eyes, she pulled the same stunt again, stumbling forward and falling directly into Connor's embrace.I didn't miss the brief, triumphant glint in her eyes.However, Connor merely stepped to the side, causing Julie to fall to the ground and wince in pain. She looked up at Conor with a delicate, fragile expression, tears glistening in her eyes as she bravely held them back."You can rest assured that even though my family doesn't have much and that you're a rich heir, I'm not going

Chapter 5

I shoved Julie away, looked at her deranged expression, and replied with a sneer, "Yes, this is Connor's baby—and mine."Julie's eyes widened in shock, her face draining of all color.I dealt her another blow, adding, "I've already received 60 million dollars since I've given birth to the baby."Upon hearing that, Julie's eyes rolled back in her head, and she nearly collapsed from the shock. She then steadied herself, pointed at me, and snapped, "You're truly despicable, Queenie! You actually sold your body and integrity for 60 million dollars! You're no better than a beast!"I don't believe for a second that Connor was drugged! I bet you planned this whole thing!" I was so furious that I couldn't help but let out an exasperated laugh, but before I could even say anything, Connor intervened, frowning as he stepped in front of me."You ought to know that Queenie is my child's mother, and I won't tolerate anyone slandering her, Ms. Sutton. Do you want to find out how good my lawyers are

Chapter 6

In the end, as soon as the news circulated, the Greenes finally caught wind of it. Connor, naturally, was aware that Julie was spewing lies. His family didn't, though, so they went and launched their own investigation into the matter.I asked Connor to forward me the surveillance footage, though I had no intention of releasing it immediately.In the meantime, by slandering me online and flaunting her beauty along with a facade of moral superiority, Julie vaulted herself into the spotlight as an online influencer. In only a matter of days, her follower count shot up to two or three million.Julie's greed knew no bounds, though—she refused to stop there. I was well aware that her final objective wasn't fame. Her true aim was to marry into the Greene family—the richest family in Brookhaven—and become Connor's wife. …That day, I received a call from Connor. "Julie really has some nerve trying to drug me. I was about to deal with her straightaway, but then I figured I'd check with yo

Chapter 7

Julie's proclamation immediately took the entire internet by storm."Holy shit! It turns out Julie really is pregnant with Mr. Greene's baby!""Isn't this getting too absurd? They already turned against each other, but their children ended up being half-siblings!""Didn't Julie claim that Queenie was the one who drugged Mr. Greene? Did Julie try the same tactic on Mr. Greene herself, then?"In the end, the whole thing blew up online and was all anyone could talk about.I asked coldly, "Didn't you lecture me about not taking handouts from the rich and tell me to get an abortion before this, Julie? Why don't you get an abortion now that you're pregnant?"Upon hearing that, Julie's eyes welled up with even more tears. "I didn't understand before what a child means to a mother. I get it now, though—this is my darling baby, and I'm going to give birth to it. It's just that I can't let it be fatherless!"She then turned to Connor with a pleading look, adding, "I'm carrying your baby,

Chapter 8

Upon hearing Connor's question, Julie shyly lowered her head and replied, "You see, we both had too much to drink at the bar that night. Have you forgotten, Connor?"Connor smiled faintly, replying, "I certainly haven't forgotten that night. I recall that you were the only one drunk that night, though. I was sober the whole time."Upon hearing that, Julie's eyes immediately lit up, thinking that Connor had been sober and had deliberately chosen to sleep with her that night. "Is that so? You were actually sober that night, huh? I thought—"Julie couldn't help but smile shyly at that thought, but what Connor said next left her completely stunned."It was precisely because I was fully sober that I knew for a fact I wasn't with you that night."Immediately, Julie shook her head, looking deathly pale. "T-That can't be true. You were obviously drunk that night, Connor. You probably don't remember what happened.""How are you so sure that I was drunk that night?" Connor asked."I…" Julie trai

Chapter 9

Upon seeing Julie's reaction, the livestream viewers instantly understood everything."Holy shit! It turns out that you're the one who tried to drug Mr. Greene! You've been pretending to be so righteous this whole time!""You livestream every day, preaching about working hard and earning a living of your own, yet here you are, using a baby to climb the social ladder.""How can Julie be so vile?"Julie tried to defend herself, but she had no proof to offer. She had, after all, tried to drug Connor. She then raised her head and glared at me, barking, "You bitch!"I immediately slapped her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground. "You have a lot of nerve calling me that, given all the horrible things you've done, Julie!"Julie's gaze flickered for a moment before she scrambled to her feet and threw herself at Connor. "I'll admit it—I was the one who drugged you. I only did it because I love you so much, Connor."Queenie has already given birth to your baby, so I had no choice but

Chapter 10

Julie threw herself at Connor, grabbing his leg. "Please tell me this isn't real, Connor. It was you that night, wasn't it? It had to be you! I'm sure Queenie is behind all this! She must have tampered with the footage!"Connor didn't even spare her a glance, kicking her away and saying, "It's the surveillance footage from the hotel. You can go check it out yourself if you don't believe it."I have no idea who that baby's father is, since I just had someone grab a random guy from a bar that night. You'll have to go find out for yourself if you want to know who it is."Upon hearing that, Julie collapsed, as if every ounce of strength had deserted her. She looked up at me a moment later, her gaze seething with malice. "You're the one behind all of this, aren't you, Queenie?" I smiled faintly, thinking that she wasn't that foolish, after all. It had indeed been my plan all along. That night, I had proposed the idea to Connor once I reached the bar. Yet, if Julie hadn't been so desperate
