Chapter 1

"Janice, let me cover the scene," The intern said in a young, eager voice. Ruby Thomas wore her work attire and never complained despite holding a heavy camera in her hand.I looked like a senior colleague picking on her for no reason when I stood next to her.I heard myself say, "No, you're still an intern. You're still not familiar with how to handle emergencies on your own."A familiar male voice cut in next. "Let Ruby handle it. You were a rookie once, so you should give her a chance to grow."That was when I finally woke up.The man who had just spoken was my husband, Danny Smith, who was also my superior.Ruby was a new intern. She was one breaking story away from landing a full-time position.In my previous life, I had also turned down her request. Then, my husband had criticized me for targeting her and refusing to give her a chance in front of all the other staff.He had then decided for me and sent Ruby to the fire, not even assigning anyone experienced to go with her

Chapter 2

The pain of acid burning through me pulled my mind back to the present. As soon as Danny finished speaking, Ruby gave him a shy smile, and they exchanged a look right in front of me.The next second, Danny reached out and patted her head. "Once you finish covering this story, you'll be confirmed full-time."Ruby's eyes lit up, but before she could say anything else, I stopped them. "So, you don't need me anymore? Should I resign now and leave you two to do it together?"I wasn't going to just let it go this time. I didn't want to let them get away with this, and I definitely didn't want innocent people to die for this.My bluntness turned the mood in the office heavier in a heartbeat.Ruby's eyes turned red, just like a scolded child, making Danny yell at me immediately. "Watch your tongue, Janice! Ruby and I are just coworkers! I stepped in because I saw you picking on a newcomer. As your husband, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing! Instead of reflecting on yourself, you're

Before the firefighters could check anything, Ruby yelled and sobbed. "Why must you keep targeting me, Janice? There's a fire! Why are you still trying to stop me when there's something as urgent as a fire?!"The firefighters looked confused and kept glancing between us.Danny also stepped in front of her and pointed at me. "Let them go in for the evacuation! How long are you going to keep this up?!"I was furious. They could target me all they wanted, but the people in that factory were innocent. They did not even care enough to perform basic fact-checking.I ignored them and ran over. After a quick explanation, I brought the woman over."Please save my husband. He's still inside!" She cried.I cut her off gently and put a hand on her shoulder, calming her. "He'll be alright. But you have to tell me how many people are still inside, and if there's anything flammable or explosive stored in there."Her sobbing eased before she nodded repeatedly, then pointed with a shaking hand t

Chapter 4

In my previous life, I wondered if I had been too forceful when Danny accused me of trying to push him out.He said I bullied newcomers, and I really did reflect on it. I realized I had only trained her by the book.When I was suspended and thrown in prison, I asked to see Danny once.He never came. He had asked someone to bring me the divorce papers instead.This time, I finally saw it clearly.He and Ruby had been sneaking around even before she joined the company.The only reason he framed me was not only because it would make Ruby a full-time staff member, but also because it would allow him to leave me and take all of our assets.He was killing two birds with one stone… However, he was not the only one who could play that game! This time, I would send them into the burning fires of Hell myself!Boom!There was a deafening explosion, and smoke and dust immediately filled the air.Then came a chain of explosions.Nearby buildings started to collapse, and the firefighters

My eyes narrowed the moment I saw the name "Janice" on the page.Last time, Danny had pulled out the same document with the same signature on it. However, I knew I had never signed it despite the signature being an exact match with mine."So, the queen of the newsroom can't even admit when she's wrong?" Ruby cried almost genuinely, and our co-workers began to look at me doubtfully.Any doubt the boss still had vanished the second she started sobbing. Everyone couldn't help wanting to side with whoever looked weaker."Hello. We're here to investigate the false report regarding yesterday's fire." Two officers suddenly walked toward me. I still had the video of Ruby going to the fire on my phone. Even if they tried to pin the assignment on me, she could not escape making a false report.Ruby's face tightened with fear as Danny pointed at me and shouted, "Not only did you sign off on the assignment roster, but you also even made a false coverage on the scene?!"In my last life, the p

"The security cameras are down? Perfect. I actually bought a new one a while ago and had it installed in the corner. Funny, isn't it? All of the footage from the past week is on my phone. As a senior, I believe I do have the right to set up a camera, don't I?"Now, Ruby. Do you still think I was the one who went to the scene and signed off on the assignment roster for you?" I said with a faint smile.Ruby and Danny froze.I still did not understand, though.Why would they do this? Ruby was only an intern…Bits of memory floated up. I remembered seeing a person called Grant Thomas standing at a distance during the trial in my last life. His appearance back then had surprised everyone.He was the mayor of this city, famous for his integrity. Because of that, many people had supported him when he ran for office.When the sulfuric acid came flying at me, he had instinctively reacted and pulled Ruby toward him.But…It was public knowledge that his daughter was Sandy Thomas.Ruby.

"Ha... Hahaha!"Then, discussions about what was happening began. Those who weren't sure of the truth earlier started first."So, Danny and Ruby really are together. I heard she knew him back in university!""What a waste. It's quite sad for Janice, though. She has both looks and talents, but Danny picked someone with neither…"That was enough to break Ruby. She dropped onto the floor, clutching her head and sobbing. No one went to her except Danny."I'll send my resignation to your email later. I'll also hand the footage to the police. They can decide whether it's edited or not. I believe they can analyze it fairly! But… You've got one thing wrong. Ruby may not have talent, but she has the backing of someone influential. Her dad's last name is Thomas, too."I said that before leaving on purpose. Anyone curious would start digging into her background.I believed that it wouldn't take too long before Sandy and the whole city would know she existed.Upon quitting, I originally pl

Chapter 8

Hell?I was the actual one who had crawled out from hell.The victims' families blocking my way saw me try to leave, and the crowd grew restless. A large man charged at me, shouting, "Give me back my son!"While the families were indeed pitiful, it did not mean they had the right to hurt me."Ah!"There was a hoarse scream, and a police officer had already stepped in, throwing the man to the ground with a shoulder throw, pinning him down.I gave Danny a sneer. "You think you're the only one with a backup plan?"I turned around and walked to the police station, asking them to release the full footage.This time, my video went straight to the top of the trending list. The story flipped. The netizens began to attack Danny and Ruby out of rage at being deceived.And this time, someone uncovered something even bigger.The outrage became even worse when "The Mayor’s Illegitimate Daughter" hit the top of the trending searches.Very quickly, a formal investigation began. Sandy even

Chapter 9

Ruby thrashed on the floor, rolling back and forth. She tried to cover the places where the acid had corroded her skin, only to find that touching them made it hurt even more.Her whole body shook with pain.I gritted my teeth as I felt my eyes getting wet.Sandy handed me a tissue. "What, you still feel sorry for her?"Of course not. I was just so happy."No. These are tears of joy." I wiped my face and the tears that had rolled down my cheeks. For the first time since I came back, I smiled for real.It was pure chaos when Sandy and I were hustled out. Ruby and Danny were sent to the hospital. Ruby had shielded him from some of the acid, but it had still splashed into his eyes.I closed my eyes and leaned back into the car seat as Sandy spoke calmly. "Next step?"In my last life, Ruby had used her connections to stop me from getting treatment despite the pain and my cry for help. What right did they have to be treated this time?I tapped my phone, and the screen showed the la

Chapter 10

The "Ruby" who was still on the run sent me a photo.A ticket from Pineton City to Westerland.I smirked and sent back her file on her cosmetic surgery, along with a photo of her sitting in the departure lounge."Do you like the gift I prepared for you, old hag?" I asked with a smile.Before the fake Ruby could even look around to see where the voice was coming from, I walked straight up to her.She panicked, and the first thing out of her mouth was, "I only stole your man! Why are you so obsessed with me?!""I don't care about the trash you picked up, but the moment you tried to make me take the fall for you? You just won yourself a guarantee that I would never give up on hunting you down! You like Danny, right? I'll put you in the same prison as him!"She went stiff instantly.I stepped back with a pleasant smile as the police rushed in and arrested her once more.At the station, I dropped the file in front of Danny."Your taste is truly unique, going for a woman in her fif
