Chapter 1

"Men with love on their brains really are so easy to fool. What woman wouldn't love having the whole city's giant screens lit up with messages when someone proposes to her?"Just because I casually mentioned that Bree doesn't like flashy stuff—and that she might not be ready to get married yet, so she should at least have the chance to think about it—he really decided to propose quietly."He even asked me what kind of gift Bridget would like. I just so happened to get scammed buying a secondhand purse a couple of days ago, so now I can just get him to buy me the real thing. Then I'll just delete the purchase record, and there'll be no evidence left at all. I'm such a genius."Hearing my best friend Cathy Capshaw's inner thoughts again, a cold sweat reflexively broke out across my back.This was exactly what had happened in my previous life. I, Bridget Dewan, had happily dressed up and gone out with my boyfriend, Brian Eggert, to celebrate New Year's Eve. But when he handed me my gi

Chapter 2

After I died in my previous life, I didn't immediately get reborn. Instead, I drifted in the air for a long time.That was when I learned that during the days when I was running and hiding from debt collectors, it was Cathy who had secretly taken care of my parents.After I died, the debt collectors tracked down my parents' home, and it was also Cathy who rushed forward without hesitation and took a knife meant for them.When my parents fainted from the shock and grief of my sudden death, she brought them to live with her and cared for them as if they were her own parents.How could someone like that possibly turn against me over a man?I ignored those strange voices and threw my arms around Cathy, nodding over and over."You're right, Cat. There must be something wrong with him. Thank goodness I've ended things with him completely."As I spoke, I hurriedly turned on my phone. Without even glancing at the flood of messages, I blocked every single one of Brian's contacts.The me

The countless questions running through my mind felt like they were about to make my head explode.I stood there helplessly, watching Cathy finish loading her luggage and prepare to leave in Brian's car.Seeing her about to leave, I hurried forward and grabbed her arm."Wait, Cat! You can't marry him! Do you think he's a billionaire? He's lying to you! He's not a good man at all—he's just a gambler! If you marry him, your whole life will be ruined!"I didn't fully understand what was happening right now, but in my previous life, she had genuinely taken good care of my parents on my behalf. Helping her now and stopping her from jumping into this lion's den could be considered me repaying the favor.Perhaps Brian realized he couldn't trick me anymore, so he convinced the debt collectors to give him a few extra days, and then set his sights on Cathy instead.After all, Cathy had saved up a decent amount of money running her studio over the years. At the very least, it would be enoug

Over the next few days, things remained surprisingly peaceful.Cathy had already moved out, and Brian stopped bothering me. It was as if the two of them had completely disappeared from my life.That was until about two weeks later, when my boss called me into his office the moment I arrived at work.He said the previous interview with Wesley had performed really well, and the Eggert family wanted to do a more in-depth interview. They even specifically requested that I be the one to conduct it.Hearing this, the corners of my lips curled slightly.Sure enough, they were back. And they were even more impatient than I'd imagined.I quickly agreed to the interview. I even suggested inviting Cathy, his fiancee, to join us as well, as it would add some extra buzz to the program.…On the day of the interview, Brian and Cathy arrived as scheduled."Bree, I didn't expect you to invite me," she said.She had dropped the cold attitude she'd shown the last two times. There was even a fa

In the restaurant, I looked straight into Brian's eyes and slowly took a sip of my red wine."Do you really only want to be friends with me, Mr. Eggert?" I asked.It seemed Cathy's inner thoughts hadn't been wrong. The way Brian looked at me still carried the unmistakable tenderness reserved for a lover.Brian sat there hesitating for a long time before finally working up the courage to meet my eyes."Bree… I regret it. I admit that after leaving you, I realized that the person I love most is still you," he said with earnest sincerity. "I didn't get together with Cathy because I'd found true love—it was just to make you mad, make you jealous. I wanted you to come looking for me. But it seems like I've only pushed you farther and farther away."I raised an eyebrow. I'd expected him to beat around the bush for a while longer. Who knew he'd be this blunt?"Sure. Then dump Cathy, and we can get back together," I answered just as directly."You… You're on board?"Brian's expression

Chapter 6

Cathy's inner voice quickly gave me the answer."I knew something was off when Brian specially reserved a lounge. So it was for this bitch. Good thing I came to check. I'll find a way to lock her in here later so she can't ruin the ceremony."Sure enough, Cathy soon found an excuse to leave. And just as expected, the door to the lounge was locked from the outside.I glanced down at the phone beside me. Had Cathy forgotten it in her hurry… or had she intentionally left me a way to call for help?Either way, I didn't choose to text Brian and instead tossed the phone aside. I knew it didn't matter whether I contacted him or not. When the time came, someone would rescue me anyway.I waited leisurely in the lounge for nearly two hours before someone finally opened the door.Brian's assistant rushed in."Ms. Dewan! So this is where you were!" he said anxiously. "Mr. Eggert has been looking everywhere for you. You didn't reply to your messages, and when he called you, your phone was of

Chapter 7

A stranger got out of the car."Wesley Eggert?" I asked.The man seemed momentarily surprised when he heard me call his name."I didn't expect you to be this sharp, Ms. Dewan."I scoffed coldly. "I wouldn't call it sharp. I'm just trying to protect the people I want to protect. What brings you here now, Mr. Eggert?"Hearing my words, Wesley seemed even more interested in me, and he took a few steps closer."Why don't you start by telling me what you know, Ms. Dewan?"I paused for a moment, then decided to speak, because I knew that if I didn't, some of my questions would never be answered. Besides, I was going to explain things to Cathy anyway, so I might as well say it here."Stop hiding. Come out," I called toward the car in front of me.Wesley glanced at me in surprise before shooting a signal to the side with his eyes.Soon, two people stepped out of the car.One of them was Brian Eggert, and the other was a woman who looked exactly like Cathy."Who is she?" Cathy gaspe

As I spoke, I pulled a medical report from my bag."I've already gone to the hospital for a full examination. It confirms that my memory has been tampered with. And do you know how I figured all this out?"I reached into my bag and took out a bottle—a milk bottle. Maybe they hadn't wanted the hallucinogens to go to waste, so they used milk to make sure I would drink every drop.Back then, when I was hiding from those debt collectors, that bottle of milk had been the best thing I had managed to find. Because of that, I savored every last drop, then kept the bottle as a memento.But later, in "this lifetime", when I went to my hiding spot to look for the bottle, I actually found it. That proved that I hadn't been reborn, and this wasn't a second go at life.On top of that, I sent the bottle for testing. Sure enough, it contained drug residue.Only then did I finally understand that everything I had seen was nothing but a massive plot aimed at me. All the people around me were actor

Wesley chuckled lightly, effortlessly washing his hands of the whole situation."You—"My eyes burned with anger, but I couldn't even find the words to argue back.He had the audacity to let Brian impersonate him, precisely because he was absolutely certain that, on the surface, he had never directly participated in this so-called game.The only thing remotely connecting him to this scheme made him look like a victim, not the true mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes.But… had he really left no loose ends?I smiled and raised my phone. From the speaker came a recording of Wesley threatening the station's executives.He had overlooked the most crucial detail—the milk bottle had his fingerprints on it.The moment he realized the truth, he exploded with fury."What? You dare set me up? You're nothing more than a toy I use for entertainment. How dare you try to scheme against me?"He looked like he had completely lost it."Does that mean you're admitting it?"I smil
