Everyone attending the engagement party today were acquaintances in their social circle.
Their discussions grew louder and louder.
At this point, Chloe decided to drop all pretenses.
She was wearing a fairy–like dress, but the expression on her face was utterly grotesque.
“Yes, I did it. So what? I was the one who liked you first, but you only had eyes for that bitch Aria.”
“Thankfully, heaven had mercy and turned her into a vegetable. Three years ago, I shouldn’t have been soft–hearted. I should have just let her
die!”
“With her dead, we could have lived a happy life.”
Chloe was completely unhinged. After speaking, she glared at me viciously.
Then, she pulled out a knife from somewhere and lunged at me.
“You go die! Today was supposed to be your death day anyway!”
Unfortunately for her, before she could reach me, Alex kicked her away.
“Who do you think you are to dare bully my wife?”
Chloe seemed to have been triggered.
“No… it shouldn’t be like this. In the previous life, you were clearly dead. How could this happen?”
Her ravings were ignored by everyone.
Soon, Chloe was taken away to face legal consequences.
The grand engagement party had turned into a farce.
Everyone started to leave.
Seeing that I was about to leave, Jake hurriedly blocked my way.
“Aria, I was wrong before. It was all that bitch Chloe who deceived me. Don’t go. Let’s go back to how we were before, okay?”
Jake held my hand, his voice trembling.
I could feel that he was scared.

But some things, once they happen, can’t be undone.
Spilled water can’t be gathered up, and a broken mirror can never be whole again.
Feeling Alex’s grip on my hand tighten, I smiled and shook off Jake’s hand.
“Jake, I’m already married. Isn’t it inappropriate to try to steal someone’s wife in front of her husband?”
Jake didn’t give up.
“Even if you’re married, you can get divorced. I don’t mind that you’ve been married before. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. In the future, I’ll still pamper and love you like before!”
Looking at his self–confident appearance, I just felt disgusted.
“What makes you think I would give up Alex for you?”
I looked him up and down, my eyes full of disdain.
Jake was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself, “You said you would only love me in this life. You said that no matter what happened in the future, you would never leave me. Have you forgotten all of that?”
I laughed coldly, “Jake, how dare you say such things? Have you forgotten what you said when I first woke up?”
“You said you fell in love with Chloe, told me not to cling to you, and even said that being with me was youthful foolishness and quite embarrassing.”
“If you’re really a man, remember those words well.”
As I finished speaking, I saw Jake’s straight spine bend.
He looked at me dejectedly, his eyes full of reluctance.
Alex, on the other hand, was extremely pleased.
Like a victorious general, he picked me up in his arms and left.
As we were leaving, he even snorted coldly at Jake.
Although I don’t know what the future days will be like, they can’t be worse than my previous life.
After Chloe was arrested, she clamored to see me every day.
On a sunny day, I went to see Chloe.
A few days without seeing her, she looked much more disheveled, her hair messy and her eyes full of madness.
Upon seeing me, she shouted and screamed like a lunatic.
“Aria, how are you still alive? You should be dead. In the previous life, you died at the engagement party. Only with you dead will everything return to its proper course…”
“Things shouldn’t be like this. I should be the only daughter of the Su family, Jake’s wife. Who exactly are you?”
Hearing her incoherent words, I couldn’t help but smile.
“Chloe, you’ve lived another life, yet you’re still so stupid!”
No matter how much Chloe screamed and shouted after that, I didn’t say anything more.
Later, because she kept claiming she was the reborn Mrs. Lu, she was sent to a mental hospital.
As for Jake, although Alex didn’t seek revenge on him in this life, the Lu Corporation still went downhill.

I heard that to save the Lu Corporation, he married into the Chen family, wedding their arrogant daughter.
Because of his history, Mrs. Chen kept a very tight leash on him after marriage, sometimes even putting an iron chain around his neck. He lived without any dignity, becoming a laughingstock in their social circle.
