Now, reborn, sitting in front of Mrs. Van Derlyn and her son, my palms were sweating with anxiety.
I vowed that this time, I would never concern myself with Hailey’s fate. And I certainly wouldn’t visit her in the mental hospital.
Once I finished my studies, started my business, and made a fortune, I would bring Grandma to live with me in another country.
Just as I expected, Hailey eagerly raised her hand first
hand first.

She wanted to choose first.
Ever since we were kids, with our poor family
and limited resources, she was always
competing with me for everything, never giving
- in.
Being easygoing by nature, I was used to giving
way.
Especially this time, with the valuable
knowledge I possessed, I could watch
everything unfold calmly.
“Mrs. Van Derlyn, I actually have a boyfriend.” Hailey continued, “So why don’t you keep
Xavier for my sister. Besides, I think I’ll take the five million.”

My inner voice screamed, my pupils dilating on
their own.
I knew Hailey’s nature too well: greedy,
arrogant, and unwilling to work hard.
Five million dollars would probably be gone in
no time. There was no way that the idea of being the wife of a wealthy man with endless wealth would not appeal to her.
But this time, she didn’t even glance at Mr. Van Derlyn, focusing her greedy gaze solely on the check.
She leaned toward me, took the check in one hand, and whispered in my ear, “Riley, this time, it’s your turn to suffer.”
In that instant, I realized she remembered

everything too.

It turned out that just before I died in the last
life, I heard a loud thud beside me, the sound of her body hitting the ground after jumping right after me.
It turned out that she had planned to die with me all along, hating me so much that she had to drag me down with her.
Now, Hailey was taking the initiative once again, snatching the immediate cash benefit, and trying to push me toward Mr. Van Derlyn.
“I heard that Xavier doesn’t socialize much, and loves to read, especially math.” Hailey said
trying to pawn off Xavier. “It just so happens

that my sister, Riley, is also a bookworm. I’m
sure they’ll have a lot in common.”
Let me marry Xavier?
Let me become her crazy, psycho husband’s plaything, and then watch her take the five million and live happily ever after?
I may be reborn, but I haven’t lost my mind.
So, taking Hailey by surprise, I snatched the check back from her before she could even warm it up.
And then handed it back to Mrs. Van Derlyn with respect.
“Mrs. Van Derlyn, thank you for your and Mr. Van Derlyn’s kindness. But we can’t accept

such a generous gift.
