Chapter 2

"My greatest wish is to see you one last time before I die."

Hearing Derek's weak, gasping voice on the phone, my blood boiled.

I had actually been reborn!

On the other end of the line, Derek kept rambling on, saying he wanted to buy me a birthday present but was hit by an out-of-control truck.

He choked up, saying the surgery had less than a three percent success rate.

I curved my lips into a smile, my voice full of concern.

"Hang in there, I'll come to the hospital right away!"

But after hanging up, I didn't rush out to hail a cab like I did in my previous life.

Instead, I immediately dialed a number I hadn't used in a long time, my eyes ice cold.

In my previous life, Derek lied about being hit by a car and dying, tricking me into leaving the house.

Worried about his safety, I—normally so cautious—rushed out in a panic.

I didn't even have time to wake the driver, just flagged down a random empty car on the street.

But the moment I got into that car, the radiant princess of the elite circle disappeared forever.

I became a cheap woman anyone could toy with for just one dollar.

Soon, the person on the other end confirmed it was done.

I immediately used the landline at home to call Lily, using a synthesized voice of Derek created by a hacker to talk to her.

"You're so naughty. I knew you'd come over tonight too. I've already showered and I'm waiting for you!

Oh, just thinking about how you have to please that cheap slut every day makes my heart ache. Come over and rub it for me."

Hearing the sickeningly sweet moans on the other end, I smirked coldly and continued playing the recording.

"No, you come here right now. That bitch isn't home today.

Tonight we'll do it on her bed. That'll be exciting enough."

Lily giggled shyly, saying she had a surprise for me tonight.

After hanging up, I soon saw a figure sneaking out of the villa next door.

Before I died in my previous life, I learned that Derek had actually bought Lily a villa right next door.

Before I was kidnapped, the two of them would often drug me, shamelessly having their affair while I was unconscious.

Derek, you've really helped me out this time.

Below the window, Lily, wrapped in a fur coat, sneaked to the front gate.

But I had changed the password, so no matter how many times she tried, it wouldn't work.

Stamping her feet in frustration, she was about to call Derek when an empty car pulled up from the darkness.

"Miss, need a ride?"

Seeing her alone and lingering at my door, driver Kevin couldn't wait to knock her out with chloroform, tie her up like a dumpling, and drag her into the trunk.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon noticed on the company surveillance feed that Derek's phone lit up.

"Boss, we've got the goods."

Derek nodded with satisfaction and opened his phone.

A clear photo of Lily's face was transmitted over.
