Rich Heir Rebirth: No More Childhood Sweetheart
I am the only son of the richest man in Fairmont.
Before my coming-of-age, my mother selects nine girls for me, one of whom I am to marry when I turn 18. I choose Ruth Lonsdale, the girl who had grown up by my side since we were kids.
But on our wedding day, Ruth secretly leaks my whereabouts to kidnappers and takes every single bodyguard my mother had assigned to protect me.
After I am abducted, I call her and beg for help, but she answers with a cold laugh, "You're still acting? You had a bunch of thugs go after Jack, and I haven't gotten even with you for that yet! Anyway, I only took your bodyguards to protect him and make him feel safe. Don't make such a big deal out of it."
She then hangs up.
Enraged, the kidnappers stab me repeatedly before throwing my body from the rooftop.
When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day I'm supposed to choose my bride.
This time, I didn't even glance at Ruth's photo. I point to the most ordinary-looking girl of them all and say, "I choose her."
