Chapter 4
Everyone stepped back, mot wanting to get involved
But Julian stood in front of Emica, protecting her with a determined look. “Selene, today’s mistake is alll mine. Meeting Miss Rocha made me realize what love at first sight really means. From now on, I only want to spend my life with her. I hope you’ll let us be.”
Selene walked closer step by step, her face expressionless.
Those who were familiar with her knew that she only acted like this when extremely angry.
“Move aside! I want to see what this wtxen looks like!”
Selene pushed Julian aside abruptly.
“Ribbit!”
A sudden frog croak sounded as Erica’s face was revealed.
Selene stared at her for a long moment, then sighed, took off her wedding ring and threw it
straight into the sea.
“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t agree. But with her, I really can’t compete. Miss Rocha, right? I willl step back. I’ll keep one billion dollars as pocket money for myself and all the remaining assets will be yours, as a dowry.”
As these words came out, it was like a thunderclap in the deep sea.
“Selene actually admitted she can’t compete with her. Who exactly is she?”
“She’s Erica Rocha from our company. She claimed just yesterday that she would marry into a wealthy family and it turned out to be true.”
“Wow, one billion is just pocket money? How much must alll the assets be worth then?”
Her wish came true and Erica was so happy she lost all sense of caution and blurted out, “All those assets–worth ten billion–will be mine soon!”
Seeing her greedy expression, Selene’s eyes darkened a little, but she curled her lips and said, “That’s right, Miss Rocha. I’m more than willing to give everything to you.”
She waved her hand and the men behind her brought out stacks of contracts, transferring all of her assets to Erica’s name right on the spot.
Everyone was filled with envy and Erica was so excited that she trembled.
And I couldn’t help but tremble too, because just now, I saw it very clearly … Selene had also looked at me thoughtfully for a long time.
After returning from the yacht, my mind was filled with that terrifying look and I was so distressed that I couldn’t sleep well all night.
When I arrived at the office with two dark circles under my eyes, I happened to meet Erica coming to resign.
She carried a platinum handbag and was dressed in luxurious haute couture, proudly

saying that she had moved into a mansion last night and would be getting married in a
week.
Hearing that, I let out a sigh of relief.
Since Julian was really going to marry her, it had nothing to do with me anymore. I must’ve been wrong all along.
Erica pushed through the crowd and walked arrogantly toward me.
“Jasmine, I know you must regret not grabbing the Lucky Frog. That’s your fate! I won’t invite you to my wedding and I’ll never give you the chance to get close to me. You’ll always be like a bug, looking up at me from the shadows!”
It seemed that after having caused my death in a past life, she was afraid I’d do the same to her, but she overthought it.
I wouldn’t let her die so easily.
I was still waiting for her to marry into a wealthy family and live a “good life,” waiting for her to reveal all the secrets amid day after day of torment. As for not inviting me, that was exactly what I had hoped for. I only wanted to stay far away from this mess.
A week later, on the day Erica got married, I was walking on my way to work.
Suddenly, someone covered my mouth with a cloth and shoved me into a car.
When I woke up, I found myself at the Blakes‘ house.
Erica was wearing a wedding dress and looking at me with a twisted expression. “You weren’t even worthy of attending my wedding in the first place. It was Julian who insisted that if I married into a rich family and started looking down on my old friends, it would ruin my reputation. That’s the only reason you’re here as a bridesmaid. You should consider yourself unbelievably lucky!”
She viciously ordered the makeup artist, “You must make her look like an ugly freak, or I’ll make sure you can’t work in this industry anymore!”
The makeup artist looked uneasy and my heart sank completely.
In my past life, when Julian married me, he had wanted me to cut off all my old friends and the bridesmaid had been some wealthy girl I didn’t even know.
Why was it completely different this time?
A scary thought popped into my head.
