The Wrong Person의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

In the days that followed, Hawthorn Corporation was plunged into an unprecedented level of crisis.Lana fully utilized the organization's secrets that Jericho had obtained from Eden. With the intel, she formed an alliance with several of Hawthorn Corporation's competitors to launch a campaign to take the corporation down.Before long, Hawthorn Corporation’s stock market price plummeted. Billions of dollars of market value loss were reported within a matter of days.Meanwhile, several key partners announced premature termination of their joint projects, causing another cash flow disruption.Lana also began to poach several senior executives from the company to tear it apart from the inside. When they resigned, they took a significant amount of client connections with them.A pile of reports was on Eden’s table, and all of them described in detail the critical state the corporation was in. The phone calls were persistent, coming from debt collectors and other parties enquiring about

At the same time, in another universe, Jaime was cooking in the kitchen with an apron strapped around his waist.The aroma of the soup he made filled the air.His parents were lounging on the couch in the living room, enjoying a show with bright smiles on their faces.After Jaime left the world of the novel, the system deemed him worthy of a reward on account of the many years he had dedicated to completing his mission. Besides, it wasn’t his fault that he failed his mission anyway.For all his efforts, he was given a second chance at life in the original world, where he was involved in a severe accident that brought him back from the brink of death.When he was revived, he was granted a wish as an additional reward.After considering for a moment, he asked the system to transport Marcus and Elisa from the novel into the original world.He was born an orphan and had never experienced parental love in the original world, and the unconditional love his parents in the novel had sho

[Repair is at eighty-five percent completion. The estimated time remaining is fifteen minutes. Please continue stalling.]As soon as the system issued the reminder, Eden suddenly took advantage of Lana’s momentary distraction and lunged forward. She managed to land a blow right across Lana’s face.Lana was caught off guard and staggered backward from the blow. A drop of blood trickled from her mouth.Eden charged at her again while crying out furiously, “Lana, I am your enemy!”With that, the two were tangled in a furious battle again. The situation grew chaotic in an instant.Meanwhile, Jaime, who was in the corner, could tell the universe was rapidly deteriorating. The cracks on the wall were widening by the second, and the ground below his feet was shaking.He asked the system in his mind, ‘Is there any way you can speed up the repair?’[The repair process cannot be accelerated. You have to stall as best as you can.]Helpless, all he could do was watch as Eden and Lana fough

Eden looked down at the knife plunged into her chest, then at Jaime. With a strained smile, she uttered, “Jaime...this time... I finally... managed to protect you…”With that, she gave out and collapsed into Jaime's arms.He caught her without thinking. When the warmth slowly left her body, he felt a turmoil of conflicting emotions inside him.He had hated her vehemently and still did to some extent, yet he found himself at a loss for words when he witnessed her sacrificing her life for him.He whispered her name gently, “Eden.”With great effort, she blearily opened her eyes. Her expression was one with equal parts yearning and regret. “Jaime, I'm sorry. If… there's a next life... I promise… I will love you the way you deserve to be loved… I won’t let you down…”Then, her head lolled to the side as she heaved her final breath.[Three… two… one… commencing transmigration.]When the system issued the announcement, Jamie suddenly disappeared from the villa.When he opened his ey

Though people around Eden continued to joke about her husband being too controlling, Eden was content with what she had.She realized how much she owed Jamie in her past life and vowed to make up for it in her current life by pampering him endlessly.After Jaime graduated, his father offered to recruit Eden into the family business. He even expressed interest in letting Eden oversee high-priority projects.However, Eden declined.In her past life, she leveraged the vast resources of Barthes Corporation to climb the social ladder. Down the road, she let the success get to her head and started to take it for granted.In this life, she would rather bring Jaime the happiness he deserved on her own effort. She did not live under the shadow of Barthes Corporation.“Thank you for the offer, Mr. Barthes.” She said sincerely before explaining, “But I want to start my own business. I promise I will marry Jamie properly once I make a name for myself.”When Marcus looked into the spark of d
