All Chapters of I Returned to Rewrite Her Ending: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

At my coming-of-age ceremony, my mother, Lydia Hudson, presented me with a pair of earrings worth tens of millions right in front of everyone. Every face in the room was filled with envy, and Stephanie Meyer, my brother Charlie Quinton's girlfriend, was no exception.She slapped Charlie hard across the face."Does your mom even remember she has a son? When I first visited, she tossed me a one-million-dollar welcome gift like it was nothing. Your sister turns 18, and she gets earrings worth a fortune right in front of you. Charlie, are you really her son?"Stephanie's outburst finally snapped Charlie out of his daze. Before he could respond, I quietly held the earrings out to him."Charlie, give them to Stephanie. She's prettier and carries herself better than I do. They'd suit her more."Charlie stared at me in shock. Mom, however, rushed in and snatched the earrings back."This is your coming-of-age gift. How could you give them away?"She looked like she was defending me, but

From the time Mom was hospitalized until she was discharged, Charlie and Stephanie never once visited her.When we returned home, Stephanie gave Mom a cold look and then headed straight to her room.Charlie, on the other hand, awkwardly sat down in front of Mom. "Mom, I acted impulsively before. I'm sorry."Mom didn't say anything, but the tears glistening in her eyes made her stance clear.Charlie continued, "You know how hard it was for me to win Stephanie over. She told me that as long as you gave her the earrings, she would marry me immediately. Otherwise…"At the mention of the earrings, Mom's expression shifted instantly. "No. The earrings belong to Irene, and they always will."Charlie ran his hands through his hair in frustration. "I just don't understand. We're both your children. Why does she get all the good things? Stephanie is your future daughter-in-law. If you don't treat her well now, don't expect her to care about you later!"Mom coughed violently, and the color

Stephanie stared at me in terror, though she didn't make a sound. I brought her back to my room and said, "Your earrings are fake. Mom did it because she wants to push you into marrying Charlie as soon as possible."Stephanie didn't believe a word of it. "Don't think I don't see what you're trying to do. You just want to stir up trouble between me and Mrs. Quinton. I'm not falling for it."I didn't argue. Instead, I showed her the video from earlier, the one where Mom had dragged me into her room to try on the earrings. Ever since I'd come back to life, I'd kept a tiny pinhole camera on me for moments exactly like this.Stephanie finished watching the video. It didn't show anything explicit, but the slight tremor in her hand gave her away."I used to think you meant everything to Mom, but she handed you a fake pair of earrings like it was nothing. Do you know what else I heard? I heard her say that once the baby is born, she's throwing you out," I said.Stephanie sat frozen at the

Mom's hands trembled as she saw the nervous look on my face. I embellished everything I had overheard outside their bedroom, making it sound far worse than it was.Just as I expected, Mom nearly had a fit, and her breath came in short, sharp gasps. It took her several long minutes to calm down.Just as she was about to go confront Stephanie, I grabbed her and pulled her back into the room."Are you out of your mind? If you charge in there like that, Charlie will never be able to hold his head up again.""She's daring because she's counting on Charlie being too embarrassed to speak up," I added, watching her carefully.After a pause, her gaze darkened as she looked at me. "Give me the earrings from before. I'll use them for a few days and then return them to you."Was Mom really planning to teach Stephanie a lesson? I handed her the earrings with a bright smile. "Mom, even though Stephanie made a mistake, she and Charlie have been together for years. Some feelings can't just be un

When I woke up the next morning, I realized the earrings were already in my ears.Mom looked at me with satisfaction. "Sweetie, you look good in everything."I smiled and played along. "It's just your great taste."For days, Mom's eyes seemed glued to me, as if she didn't want to miss the slightest change.A week passed, and not only did nothing happen, but I actually became more beautiful.Mom looked a little scared, yet after checking again and again, she confirmed that the earrings I wore were indeed the Soul‑Sworn Earrings."Mom, why are you sitting on the couch in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"She held a mirror and turned to me slowly. "Irene, am I getting old?"I let out a soft laugh. "Mom, are you sure you're not the one who had her life swapped?"Mom stared at me in panic. "Aren't you wearing the earrings?"Who said the ones on my ears were real? When I dragged Stephanie inside that day, I used that moment to switch them out. I put the fake pair back
