Chapter 1

I never thought I would wake up again.The banquet hall was filled with guests, and my previous life felt like a distant dream. Yet I knew every moment had been real.As I stood at the hotel entrance, all I wanted was to cancel this ridiculous homecoming party. A banner that read, "Welcome Back, Sienna! Congratulations on the completion of your studies!" hung prominently nearby.My mother, Emily Pierce, looked at me with concern. "What's wrong?""Mom, I want to call off today's event."Having been given a second chance, all I wanted was to preserve the Hale family's dignity."Don't be ridiculous! Sienna has just returned from abroad! We can't just ignore such an occasion!"I sighed quietly. "You're right, Mom. I was just joking."She shot me a sharp look. "Still as thoughtless as ever."Just then, Sienna's parents, Harold Vaughn and Marissa Jenning, arrived. But my fiancee, Sienna Vaughn, was nowhere to be seen. Marissa smiled warmly. "Vincent, why do you look so pale?"Bef

As my memories surged, I fought to remain composed. The banquet hall was filled with family and friends from both families, but after a long wait, there was still no sign of Sienna. With the guest of honor nowhere to be seen, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.Harold and Marissa wore strained expressions, while a hint of worry crept up on my mother's face. I gently placed my hand over hers. In this life, I would never allow her or my father to suffer even the slightest harm because of me.More than half an hour passed again before the doors to the hall swung open. All eyes turned toward the entrance.My parents stood, ready to greet Sienna, whom they hadn't seen in years. My mother even picked up the gift she'd prepared and nudged me forward. But she froze before she could take a step. Sienna had indeed arrived, but her fingers were tightly interlaced with a foreign man's. Leaning closely against him, she made their relationship unmistakable to everyone present.Tal

Things seemed to come to an end after I called off the engagement. But I knew better. This was far from over. As long as Vaughn Corporation still needed Hale Corporation's support, Harold and Marissa would never agree to Sienna breaking off the engagement, much less to her marrying a foreigner. And that was precisely why Sienna had ultimately given in and married me in my previous life.On top of that, Marissa, aware of my deep feelings for Sienna, had constantly tried to persuade me back then.I had personally witnessed Sienna breaking up with Jacques. He never understood why love couldn't keep them together. He tried desperately to hold on, but was beaten up by a group of men.Sienna blamed me for it. She held me fully responsible, though I knew nothing about the incident at the time.It was all Harold's doing. That was his way of threatening Jacques to leave the country and give up on Sienna. I still remembered the look in Sienna's eyes the day Jacques left. It was full of r

Before I could respond, Sienna grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me away.Some guests in the crowd had already stood up, recording the scene with their phones.I shook her hand off sharply. Sienna never learned to consider others' feelings. When she didn't want me, she cast me aside like trash. Now that she'd decided she wanted me back, she expected me to come running. Did she really think it would be that easy?"I don't love you anymore, Sienna. Please leave. The one I'm marrying today is Heather.""You liar! You've waited for me for five years! How can you just stop loving me like that?"Her words only struck me as absurd."You were the one who gave up on me first. Why should I wait around for you to come back? Who do you think you are, Sienna? What gives you the right to demand that from me?""Is it because of this woman? Is it because of her that you gave up on me and Vaughn Corporation?"Hah! So it all came down to Vaughn Corporation after all. I lowered my head and g

That very night, a trending topic shot to the top of the trending list.#HeatherSullivanTheHomeWreckerThere was no doubt who was behind it.When the call connected, Sienna's voice came through. "What's wrong? Having regrets already?"Even through the phone, I could picture her smug expression."What are you up to?""As long as you help Vaughn Corporation, I'll hold a press conference and clarify everything myself. Otherwise, Heather can forget about ever clearing her name as a homewrecker."Before I could say another word, Sienna ended the call. She had always been ruthless, both to others and even more so to herself. Only someone like her would resort to a move that wounded her as much as it hurt others.Heather's eyes were red, but she insisted and said, "It's okay. The truth will eventually resurface. All that matters is that you know I'm innocent."I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my embrace. "I won't let her tarnish your name. Trust me. I'll handle this

Chapter 6

Sienna eventually left with a dark expression on her face. I knew that she still couldn't let go of Jacques. Everything she had done to me was merely for the sake of Vaughn Corporation.However, the trending topic wasn't taken down. Instead, more and more information was leaked and surged to the top of the trending list. In no time, Heather became the target of public scorn. They labeled her a scheming social climber who stole someone else's partner. When I called Sienna again, she sounded perfunctory."I'm abroad right now. There's an urgent issue with the company's overseas operations that I need to handle. I can post a clarification online, but a press conference will have to wait."It's not that I don't want to clear things up. But who do you think you are? I don't want to be tied to you. I have a boyfriend, you know?"After that, she stopped answering my calls and replying to messages altogether. I couldn't even manage to get hold of Harold and Marissa.It was clear the

Chapter 7

By the time we returned from our trip, Sienna still hadn't issued any clarification on the rumors.Hale Corporation officially terminated its partnership with Vaughn Corporation and filed a claim for damages.I heard from my mom that Harold and Marissa had personally come to our house to plead for mercy and ask to see me. They even complained to my parents, but they were firmly turned away. Ever since I called off the engagement with Sienna, the only time the Vaughns reached out was when they needed the Hale family's help. They truly only showed up when they needed something, and disappeared just as quickly once they got it.But throughout it all, Sienna never once appeared.The rumors gradually died down, and I personally drove Heather to campus. People there were already starting to question the validity of the earlier accusations.Just when I thought the storm had finally passed, someone anonymously posted a photo online. It was a picture of Heather and me from my university

Chapter 8

The long-delayed press conference finally took place.As news about Vaughn Corporation and Hale Corporation had been spreading like wildfire online recently, numerous media outlets showed up.As soon as the conference began, a reporter asked, "Ms. Vaughn, are you being coerced into holding this press conference now?"Sienna replied expressionlessly, "No. I simply want to tell the truth. Mr. Hale and I called off our engagement long ago, and I have since been in a relationship with someone else. I urge everyone not to spread misinformation any further."Mr. Hale and Ms. Sullivan are already married. These rumors have caused significant harm to all of us. Should such false claims continue to circulate, we will not hesitate to pursue legal action."Lawyers from Hale Corporation then presented evidence we had gathered, both from our own investigation and from what Sienna had provided, detailing how the rumors were orchestrated.The room instantly erupted in murmurs.Another journali

Chapter 9

The investigation into Vaughn Corporation concluded swiftly, though we paid little attention to the outcome.After the press conference, apologies flooded various online platforms. Someone had even posted photos of me dropping Heather off at campus recently, and this time, the comment section was filled with nothing but praise. Nonetheless, none of it affected us anymore, and we returned to our peaceful life.Heather graduated soon after. As she had a younger brother to take over her family's business, she was free to pursue a career she loved, one that sent her traveling all over the country.Our only source of stress became the constant hints from both our parents about wanting grandchildren.My phone lit up with another call from my mother."Mom, Heather's coming home today. I need to pick her up soon. Can we talk later?" I said."I just wanted to let you know that the verdict on the Vaughn family is out," she replied.After months of legal proceedings, the Vaughn family'
