Sherry continued, "I-If I've ever done anything to make you uncomfortable, just tell me. I'll change! Please don't take it out on Nate."I looked at her expressionlessly. She'd given such a flawless performance. I might've really ended up letting them play me for a fool—if she hadn't barged in and allowed me to hear the thoughts coming from her fetus.But then again, Sherry seemed to think a little too highly of herself. Her mother, Carla Moss, had only been working for my family for three years. Where did she get the confidence to act this familiar with me?However, it was clear that Sherry's waterworks worked on Nathan. Without hesitation, he took her hand. He didn't even bother to mask the gentle concern in his voice as he said to her, "This has nothing to do with you, Sherry. You don't need to apologize to her."Turning his head around, he stared down at me and declared, "Even though I'm your boyfriend, Estelle, I have the freedom to make my own friends. You have no right to co

Over the next week, I practically lived in my office, closely monitoring Burkcoin's market trend. It was just as the fetus had said—its price began to surge wildly.The first day, it rose 8%. On the third day, it went up to 15%. And by the seventh day, it was up 40%.Because I'd invested early and deployed all my available funds, I'd already secured a sizable chunk of the market.When Ivy came to update me on the situation each day, her eyes were always filled with disbelief. "How did you manage to predict this market trend, Ms. Langdon? Your instincts have proven to be incredibly astute."How did I predict it?Well, it was only because I heard the voice of an unborn fetus who knew his father had been reborn and wanted to use my money to make a fortune for himself.It was a ridiculous explanation, so I simply chuckled and changed the subject. "Have you found someone yet?"Ivy quickly took out a folder and handed it to me.I flipped through the pages, my brows furrowing. None of

How was it that even when Nathan was on his second life, he still didn't even begin to understand me?I wasn't the least bit intimidated by a war of public opinion.After ending the call with Mom, I pulled out the extra invitations for a function this evening and instructed Ivy, "Send one to Nathan and the others under the name of a third party."Since they wanted to play this game, I kindly made sure they had a bigger stage for their performance.…Later that evening, the moment I stepped into the ballroom, I sensed the strange looks coming from every direction.That was all credited to the fact that I'd spent some money to ensure that Nathan's and Sherry's claims went viral online. Many people had eagerly paid attention to the gossip.Smiling, I chatted with the heads of several prominent families without seeming the least bit affected.Soon, Nathan came in with Sherry on his arm. He scanned the ballroom. Once his eyes locked onto me, his lips curled into a confident smile.

"Mr. Schumer, you're the one who secretly cohabited with another woman and got her pregnant while your arrangement with Essie was still ongoing. You breached the agreement first," Alex reminded Nathan."You're also the one who diverted the funds meant for your mother's treatments for investment instead. But when your investment failed, you tried to guilt-trip Essie and use public opinion against her by slandering her—just so you could continue extorting money from her."Alex's gaze swept over Nathan's ashen face, his voice clear and icy as he continued, "And now, you're calling me a knockoff version of you?"He paused briefly before letting his words fall like an avalanche on top of Nathan."Need I remind you who has been imitating whose mannerisms and habits? Who has relied on a similar face to spend the last five years living in luxury yet still grown resentful for not receiving more? Do you seriously not know who the pathetic knockoff is?"Nathan's face was as red as a tomato,

I looked over at Alex, who was sitting on the couch, and couldn't help but laugh at myself. I was so pathetic. He hadn't even fully explained himself yet, but I'd already forgiven him.As I sighed quietly to myself, however, he said, "I'm the one… who asked my parents to let your parents tell you I was dead."He closed his eyes and swallowed hard. "I didn't die, but my condition… was basically worse than dead. By the time they dug me out, I'd already stopped breathing for 15 minutes. They rushed me to St. Marcia Hospital in a helicopter."I spent three months in the ICU. I was suffering from traumatic brain injury, spinal fractures, and internal bleeding. The doctors told my parents to prepare for the worst six times. When I woke up, I realized I couldn't move at all. I was completely paralyzed and could only blink my eyes."My breathing stalled."They said the fact that I was even alive was a miracle. There was less than 1% chance of me ever standing up again," Alex continued. "A
