“I can’t bear the thought of her having no one by her side to take care of her. Please just let me marry into the Green family!”Sean looked at our mother with determination written all over his pale face. Even though he looked weak, his voice was firm.However, our parents were stamping their feet in frustration, looking as though they were at their wits’ end.“This is nonsense! Absolute nonsense!”“Juniper is still unconscious! If you marry into that family now, you might become a widower!”Dad’s face was dark with anger, yet he still couldn’t bear to hit his precious youngest son.Then, his gaze suddenly shifted toward me, where I stood silently watching from the side. Instantly, his anger exploded.“Was this your doing? Did you pressure your brother into marrying that cripple?”“You useless jinx! This family will never know peace as long as you’re here!”As he shouted, he lifted his leg and tried to kick me. I instinctively stepped aside to dodge it, but before he could co

The woman standing before me was Juniper’s greatest arch-enemy, Cleo Summers, the capital’s rising business queen. I, too, had heard countless rumors about the fierce competition between the two women. The accident that left Juniper in a coma had happened during a business negotiation with Cleo, and Cleo hadn’t escaped unscathed either, having broken her legs.After marrying into the Green family in my previous life, I had crossed paths with Cleo several times. At the time, Mrs. Green had been pressuring Juniper to have a child. Unfortunately, Sean overheard the conversation and threw a huge tantrum at Juniper.To vent Sean’s anger, Juniper actually sent me to “take care” of Cleo, who was confined to a wheelchair. It was meant to humiliate Cleo while also making me suffer under her.At first, Cleo clearly disliked me. However, despite her cold exterior, she never truly hurt me. Slowly, she stopped rejecting me, and eventually we were able to talk normally. Oddly enough, those days

Juniper’s gaze suddenly landed on the phone I had dropped on the floor. The screen was still lit up on the recent calls page. She immediately recognized that the latest number I had dialed belonged to Cleo Summers.Her expression darkened instantly. Through gritted teeth, she demanded, “William, why do you have Cleo Summers’s number? When did you get involved with her?”Before I could answer, Sean suddenly gasped dramatically from behind her. “Oh my god, William! So that’s why you ran off earlier, to call Miss Cleo? I know you want revenge against Juniper and all, but I never thought you’d stoop this low. How could you be so shameless as to seduce Juniper’s arch-enemy? You’re nothing but a turncoat!”The anger in Juniper’s eyes intensified. She grabbed my chin so hard it felt like she wanted to crush the bone beneath her fingers.“William! Do you have no shame at all? How dare you crawl into another woman’s bed and cheat on me? Are you that desperate for women?”Looking at her fur

“Your legs…” I stared at her in shock, my eyes wide.However, after making sure I could stand steadily, Cleo sat back down in her wheelchair.“Surprised?” She smiled at me.“Juniper is arrogant and full of herself. If she finds out I’ve recovered, she’ll come after me like a rabid dog. She’ll even work with other forces to suppress my company. The best way to lower an enemy’s guard is to appear weak. Only when she thinks she’s guaranteed to win is the perfect time to deal the fatal blow.”My heart pounded as I listened, yet I couldn’t help admiring her foresight because Juniper really was that kind of person. Juniper was arrogant and conceited; she looked down on anyone weaker than herself.In my previous life, wasn’t it exactly because she believed Cleo was disabled and harmless that she had the nerve to humiliate Cleo however she wanted?“Then… why are you telling me this?” I looked at her, my emotions complicated.This was her trump card, her greatest weapon against the Green

I had assumed that after I spoke so harshly that time, Juniper would finally stop bothering me. However, one week later, she showed up outside the villa and knelt there in the rain, refusing to get up.“William! I was wrong! I’ll give you half of Green Inc.’s shares. Just forgive me!” she shouted, her eyes bloodshot.From inside the gate, I stood with Cleo and watched coldly. The Green Inc. was already on its last legs. Many internal shareholders were desperately trying to offload their stakes. Offering me shares to make up for her mistakes was rubbish.At that moment, a car screeched to a stop at the entrance. Sean got out, storming toward her in rage.“Juniper! Have you lost your mind, begging this man? You’re humiliating me!”Juniper lifted her head slowly, her gaze ice-cold.“Get lost. Sean, it’s over. The engagement is canceled.”“You’re breaking off the engagement for him? Why don’t you look at what this is, Juniper?” Sean laughed bitterly, then pulled out two marriage cer
