Chapter 1

My phone vibrated urgently, jolting me awake.I looked down to see Isabel Stafford spamming the group chat. "I'm saying this one last time. If anyone refuses to follow my orders, get out immediately!"If there's wind and rain every day, does that mean everyone should just stay in bed?"The company is in crisis, and we all need to weather this storm together! Reply if you received this! Anyone who doesn't respond within one minute will be kicked from the group immediately!"I froze.Wasn't I... dead?My coworker, Mara Sweeney, nudged me. "Eden, you'd better reply quickly. She's the long-lost daughter Mr. and Mrs. Stafford just found. Don't provoke her."Seeing Mara's young face clearly, I realized what had happened. I'd been reborn. I blinked, still disoriented, then deleted the words of persuasion I'd typed on the screen one by one.In this lifetime, if Isabel wanted to court disaster, I wouldn't stop her.Just as I was about to leave the group, Dad suddenly chimed in, "Isab

Chapter 2

I clutched my face, the familiar sting bringing back memories. Mom had slapped me the same way in my previous life, except that time I'd been tied beneath a helicopter, begging her for mercy.I pulled myself together and met her eyes. "Mrs. Stafford, the emergency shutdown order came straight from the state government. I'm just being a responsible citizen. What's wrong with that?"Hearing me address her so formally as Mrs. Stafford, she froze for a moment.Isabel shoved me aside. "Responsible citizen? I think you're just itching to see Stafford Corporation collapse!"She gestured at the floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding us. "Do you have any idea what a Category 5 hurricane means? These windows won't last five minutes before they shatter!"Everything here will be destroyed! You expect me to just stand by and watch Stafford Corporation turn into rubble? I can't do that!"But the truth was, all of Stafford Corporation's critical data was regularly backed up to the cloud. Even if

Shane walked past me and went straight to Isabel's side. "Don't be scared, Isabel. I'm here. She can't hurt you."The coworkers around us immediately erupted into chatter. "Isn't that Shane Cross, the eldest son of the Cross family?""Oh, my God, I heard he has a fiancee. Could it be Isabel?""That makes sense, doesn't it? One's the Stafford heiress, and the other's the Cross heir. They're a perfect match."Shane smiled and nodded at these comments. He even glanced at me deliberately, his eyes full of provocation.The sight made me sick. I turned and walked away.Isabel called out triumphantly behind me, "Where's the HR manager? Fire Eden Stafford immediately! We don't need employees who are too afraid to face challenges!"I'd just made it downstairs and was about to get in my car when Shane came running after me. "Eden Stafford, stop right there!"His grip was painfully tight. "Why do you insist on antagonizing Isabel? Do you realize you almost got her killed just now?"How w

Screams echoed as the camera tumbled violently. In less than two seconds, all sound from the live stream cut out except for the terrifying howl of wind.The comment section exploded."Holy shit! Did you guys just see that? Someone flew out!""Oh, my God! That's horrifying! Someone call the police!""Even if they call the police, what's the point? With winds this strong, how could anyone rescue them?""Weren't they just claiming the emergency shutdown meant stop making excuses? Well, that aged poorly!""Did anyone else see Isabel kick that person out?""No, I can't take this. Just hearing the sounds is too terrifying. I'm logging off!"Mara called me immediately, her voice still shaking. "Eden, thank God you convinced me not to go. That was horrifying."It really was. Isabel knew better than anyone how dangerous this was, yet she insisted on showing off. Now, she'd made herself the prime target and gotten blown straight into the sky.Mara wasn't the only one. Soon other cowork

The group chat fell completely silent.I froze for a few seconds. Dad wasn't dead?Once the others recovered, they scrambled to respond."Vincent, thank God you're okay! We're so relieved!""I was just upset with Eden's attitude earlier. That's the only reason I said those things. I didn't mean anything by it!""Where are you right now? I'll send someone to pick you up immediately, okay?"The relatives' messages flooded the screen. The same people who'd been dividing up the inheritance moments ago had transformed into caring, concerned family members.I frowned, struggling to make sense of the situation.Dad sent another voice message. "I'm currently at…"Halfway through, the audio cut out. But judging from the background noise, he was clearly outdoors.So, he'd survived, and his phone still worked. This exceeded my expectations.After sending that voice message, Dad didn't say another word for the rest of the day. The relatives in the group chat took turns bombarding him wi

Of course, I wasn't visiting out of kindness. I wanted to ask them how it felt to fly.The moment I pushed open the hospital room door, I nearly burst out laughing. Isabel was wrapped up like a mummy, only her eyes visible. When she saw me walk in, her eyes widened like saucers."Eden Stafford!" She grimaced, her words slurred and muffled.But even that single shout sent pain shooting across her face.She raised her bandaged hand to point at me, teeth clenched. "I died in the last life, but in this one, I'm alive and well!"So? My decision wasn't wrong! I'm more capable of inheriting Stafford Corporation than you are!"I shrugged with feigned innocence. "Last life, this life? I have no idea what you're talking about."She froze for a moment, then snarled viciously, "Either way, you can't beat me!"You idiot, you still think you're the Stafford heiress from before! You don't know this yet, but Shane already agreed to marry me!"Just wait for the whole city to laugh at you!"I

Chapter 7

Isabel saw Theodore and struggled to sit up despite her bulky bandages. "Mr. Cross… Shane and I are truly in love. He already proposed to me, and I said yes. Please let us be together."Theodore looked at her with a mixture of fury and anguish. "Isabel Stafford! My son is ruined because of you! And you still have the audacity to talk about marrying him?"Dad quickly wheeled himself between them. "My daughter's just joking. Shane and Eden have been together for seven years. They're the real couple. Isabel would never be a homewrecker."Don't worry. Eden will marry him right now if that's what you need."Isabel and Mom stared at Dad in disbelief. "Dad, what are you saying? I'm your real daughter! How can you do this?""Exactly! Everyone knows the third wheel is the one who isn't loved. That's Eden!"Just let Isabel have what she wants. She suffered so much all those years!"Before Dad could respond, Theodore kicked over a nearby medical device. "Either way, someone from the Staffo

Chapter 8

Isabel pointed at Shane's stumps and screamed, "Where are your legs?"I smiled. "Oh? You didn't know? When Shane fell, the steel pipes pierced through his lower body. There was no way to save them, so they had to amputate them."The doctor said he'll be incontinent for the rest of his life and will never walk again."Isabel's body started trembling. I couldn't tell if it was from pain or fear."Y-You're lying!" she stammered. "That's not Shane. It's someone else, right?"Shane's expression darkened at the terror and revulsion in her eyes. He looked at her in anguish. "Isabel, what are you trying to say?"She shook her head violently. "I changed my mind! I won't marry him!"Theodore's expression darkened. He grabbed Isabel by the collar. "My son was ruined because of you! You're spending the rest of your life taking care of him!"With that, several people dragged her out of the room. Mom and Dad froze for a moment before snapping back to reality. "Where are you taking our daught
