Chapter 1

“Michelle, this is the final life jacket on the plane. Put it on now, quick!”A chill ran through my heart as I watched Larrie hand me the life jacket.When I did not take it, he looked anxious, and he urged me again, “Michelle, this plane is about to crash any minute. Hurry up and put on the life jacket!“If something happens to you, how could I ever explain myself to my brother?”In my previous life, I had accepted his life jacket. But in the end, after learning about the truth, I got so angry that I fell ill and died.In this life, I would not be so foolish as to repeat the mistake. I flatly rejected his so-called kindness.After pushing Larrie away, the plane began a rapid descent.Amid the shrieks and the piercing roar of the wind, the plane crashed into the sea with a thunderous boom. The violent impact knocked me unconscious.When I opened my eyes again, I was inside a ward. My body was heavily bandaged. I could only move an arm.I realized I had broken several bones. B

Chapter 2

After eight years of marriage, I could see through his lies at a single glance, but I did not expose him.As I recalled the miserable life I previously had, I let out a bitter laugh.Meanwhile, Orland mistook my reaction for reluctance. His face darkened, and he snapped unhappily, “Michelle, do you even have a heart? Although Larrie’s death isn’t directly related to you, it’s a fact that he gave the very last life jacket to you. How could you be so heartless?!”Tears welled up in my eyes as I laughed. Then, I stared at him coldly.“Orlando, they haven’t found Larrie’s body even to this day. Why are you so certain that he’s dead?“Why are you in such a hurry to declare him dead? Don’t tell me it’s because you want him to fake his death and escape the responsibility for causing the dozens of deaths of passengers on the plane with his drinking?”Right after I finished my sentence, I felt a sharp pain on my cheek.Orlando had stood up and slapped me hard. He cursed viciously, “Miche

Chapter 3

Orlando remained beside me in the ward until my IV drip was finished. After that, he left.In this life, I did not instantly agree to his request to allow Catherine and her child to live with us, as I had in my previous life.I believed Orlando must have gone out to inform Larrie about this, along with concocting countermeasures with his family.After he left, I dialed two numbers.Not only did I want to lodge a police report about Larrie’s case, but I also wanted to reach out to popular influencers to get them to draw more attention to him.As soon as the influencers uploaded their videos, Larrie’s case instantly went viral on local social media.The story of the captain giving up his very last life jacket to the passenger in a moment of crisis instantly gained the public’s attention.They did not even need to take three days to find out Larrie’s whereabouts. Three hours was already more than sufficient.Before I died in my previous life, I had already discovered his hiding pl

In the middle of roaring flames, they heard a heart-wrenching scream from within the chamber.Orlando’s eyes brimmed with tears as he fell to his knees in despair.“No! How can this happen? Why?”The rest of the members of the Mendes family reacted the same. They cried out in grief.I leaned close to Orlando and acted terrified while asking, “Honey, do you hear that sound? It sounds like Larrie’s miserable screams. Was he still alive?”I pretended to cover my mouth in shock and shrieked, “Oh my God! We should stop the cremation right away!”Orlando looked hopeless. He bit the bottom of his lips hard.“Michelle, that’s enough! Larrie is dead. He died a hero in the line of duty.”Just then, the rest of the Mendes family members returned to their senses and surrounded me furiously. They tried to strike me. “It’s all because of you! You killed Larrie!”“You’re the one who called the police, didn’t you?”“Larrie shouldn’t have died like this. You’re a wicked and cold-hearted wom

Chapter 5

The Mendes family instantly figured out the problem. They threw themselves to the floor and made a scene. They refused to admit that the video was real.They cried and called me a wicked woman. They said I had wrongfully accused Larrie.“Larrie never drinks, let alone before the plane takes off!”“The video is obviously doctored! What drives you to keep smearing a man who’s already died in the line of duty?!”“Larrie even gave you his own life jacket at that critical moment. It was you who turned him down. You got injured in the accident, so you’re holding it against him, right?”Larrie’s wife cried the hardest. She was the very same sister-in-law whom Orlando always talked about—Catherine Sweeney.Catherine held a baby in her arms. She cried so hard that she could hardly breathe.Orlando nervously held her in his arms. He gently patted her back.After eight years of marriage, I knew him well enough to tell. His actions were truly genuine.I recalled certain details from the p

Chapter 6

Catherine came over to see me before dinner.She held a bowl of hot soup and handed it to me.“Michelle, I was out of line today. I shouldn’t have said those things to you. I was upset because Larrie had just passed away. Please don’t hold it against me.“I personally simmered the soup for four hours and brought it over as a token of apology to you. Please drink it while it’s still hot.”Looking at the familiar sight of the soup, I recalled my previous life. Catherine had just moved in with her child, and we quarreled back then, too.At that time, Orlando was already biased toward Catherine. But I had not thought too much of it.Later, Catherine had also prepared a bowl of soup as a token of apology to me. But she secretly added some drugs that gave me diarrhea.As I returned to reality, it only took a single glance at her expression to tell that she had already drugged the soup again.The corners of my lips curved upward as I gave her a polite smile.“Catherine, thank you. Pl

Chapter 7

To my surprise, Catherine was released after only a few days.After asking around, I finally learned the truth. Orlando genuinely loved her.In order to get her out, he went as far as to forge a fake psychiatric hospital certificate and medical records. As such, Catherine was released.After taking her home, Orlando called me.“Michelle, you’re grown bold. You even hired a lawyer to fight me in court. I told you, I’ll never agree to divorce you. Just give up!“I’m warning you, before this whole mess ruins my future, you’d better drag yourself back here! Do you hear me?”I snorted. I ignored his threats and mocked him, “Orlando, I must have been blind to fall head over heels over a piece of trash like you!“Luckily, I finally woke up. No matter what, this marriage is ending. As for my share of the property, I won’t let go of a single cent.“One more thing, out of respect over the years of marriage, I’ve prepared a gift for you. Don’t be too surprised when you receive it.”Orlan
