Inside the car, it was so quiet that only the faint sound of the air conditioning could be heard.Calvin didn't immediately start driving. Instead, he cocked his head to the side to level me with an intent look."My dear 'bestie', I certainly won't allow myself to be used as your shield for nothing. Are you really sure about this?"There was a teasing note to his voice, along with a barely perceptible hint of concern.I bowed my head, my fingers idly brushing against the bracelet on my wrist. It had been the only thing Mom left for me, and when it pressed against my skin, it was almost like she was right there by my side, silently comforting me."I suffered a horrible defeat and lost everything in my previous life," I murmured. "In this life, I intend to take back everything that belongs to me, and not a single thing less."Hearing that, Calvin didn't press further and drove me back to his place to rest. 20 years of friendship had given him a deeper understanding of my stubbornne

The camera swiftly panned over to the speaker, revealing that it was an elderly woman in a simple evening gown. Despite the plain attire, she carried herself in a manner that set her apart from others.When she stood up, everyone immediately recognized her as Madam Langdon.The appearance of the leading authority in the international jewelry appraisal industry caused the entire venue to instantly fall silent.The auctioneer asked respectfully, "Madam Langdon, is there anything you would like to share?"Madam Langdon didn't look at him, her sharp gaze fixed on the dazzling set of jewelry on display."Before you strike that gavel, may I get a closer look at the jewelry?"No one had the guts to refuse her request, so a staff member immediately took the centerpiece—the necklace—and carefully presented it to her.Countless cameras instantly swiveled over to focus on her and the necklace in her hands.Madam Langdon took out a professional magnifying glass from her purse and leaned in

Just when I thought I could finally relax a little, I received an urgent call from the hospital.The white lighting of the hospital corridors was so bright that it almost hurt to look at.I stared at my older brother, Rowan Quinton, as he lay in bed on an IV drip. A pang of pain struck me, and it felt like my heart was being torn to shreds.Other than Mom, Rowan was the only person in this world who treated me with utmost sincerity. He ran a small traditional jewelry workshop and crafted the most intricate pieces, yet he lacked any business management skills.In my last life, Timothy, in a bid to force me into compliance, destroyed any prospects Rowan had. This caused Rowan to go into a depression, and soon after his workshop closed down, he passed away as well.This time around, history was repeating itself. All material supplies to his workshop had been cut off, and his clients would rather pay the penalty fee of breaking their contracts than continue them. Besides that, the t

Capping the pen, I stood up and gazed down my nose at Timothy."You claim to be just best friends with Selina, yet you two did such despicable things together. Have you no shame?"Timothy's hands shook violently as tears splashed onto the divorce agreement, smearing the words."Ten years… We were together for ten years. Are you really able to forget all that?"I turned and headed for the door. Sunlight spilled in from the windows, bathing me in a bright glow."You were the one who turned our relationship into trash first. In that case, trash should be thrown away."With that, I pushed the door open and left.Outside, Calvin was leaning against his car, waiting for me with a bouquet of sunflowers in his arms.Upon seeing me come out, he straightened and held a hand out to me."Is it over?"I placed my hand into his, feeling how warm and strong it was."Yeah, it's over. But it's also the beginning of something else."…Half a year later, Yance Corporation officially announce
