Thunder rumbled in the distance.
The rain in June poured down relentlessly. Emma was covered in blood, collapsed in the mud.
Standing over her, a woman sneered triumphantly, her foot planted on Emma's back. "Emma, Emma, you always held your head high and refused to bow down, didn't you? Well, I'll break every bone in your body!"
With a signal from the woman, two men behind her immediately moved in.
Poor Emma was already barely recognizable from the torture, and now she was hanging on to her last breath.
Despite this, she stubbornly lifted her head and fixed her gaze on the woman above her.
Covered in blood, her eyes were the only thing that shone, filled with boundless anger and resentment.
On this stormy night, they seemed particularly eerie.
The woman was taken aback for a moment, then quickly grew angry again. "What are you all waiting for? Throw her in! I want to see how a dead person can still oppose me!"
The two men obediently replied, "Yes, ma'am."
Then, with a kick, they threw Emma into the swamp.
It was insignificant, like a torn burlap sack. Emma knew that she was going to die today.
It was her own fault, her own stupidity. She couldn't blame anyone else!
But she was not willing to accept it, not willing at all!!!
As her consciousness gradually faded away, all the scenes of her life flashed before her eyes like a carousel.
At that time, she was still the beloved daughter of the Miller Family, showered with endless love and affection.
But she hated herself for not being able to see people clearly, and ended up taking the blame for her fiance and spending years in jail. She even broke ties with her family, causing her father to die of anger, her mother to commit suicide by burning down their villa, and her younger brother to become mute and mentally disabled due to poisoning.
And in the end, all she got was her fiance saying, "Are you even worthy?"
It was truly ridiculous!
As she felt suffocated from all sides and approached the end of her life, Emma felt no fear, only a desire to laugh at her absurd and foolish life.
But then the woman standing nearby dealt her another blow, reveling in her victory.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, sister. Your father died of suffocation because I removed his oxygen tube. I started the fire at your villa, and I also poisoned your brother. Even your beloved fiance, who you loved so much, had already been in my bed..."
"It's all your fault for being so stupid, allowing me to easily swallow up all of your family's wealth.
Hahaha..."
Emma, who had already sunk down, heard these words and suddenly trembled all over. Her eyes turned red, and she let out a hoarse scream from her throat.
"Isabella, I hope you rot in hell!"
But as soon as she opened her mouth, only gurgling sounds came out. The mud from all around had filled her mouth and nose, and the strong feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her until she was completely submerged.
Everything is empty.
Only that boundless hatred, which cannot be burned or dispersed.
...
Boom--
Another thunderclap.
Emma screamed and opened her eyes suddenly.
The intense sunlight penetrated through the leaves and shone on her face, making it very dazzling.
As far as she could see, she was lying in a wild field outside the city, soaked and embarrassed.
This scene...
Emma was stunned.
Wasn't this the day of her 18th birthday, when she had arranged to go on an outing with a group of classmates and friends, and had prepared to confess her love to her fiance William?
Emma remembered clearly that her sincere but clumsy confession had been ridiculed by William in front of everyone.
He had said to her directly in front of everyone, "Emma, give up on me. Even if you were the only woman left in the world, I, William would never be interested in you!"
This cruel and heartless statement had left her heartbroken at the time.
That was why she had run away alone, got lost, got caught in the rain, and finally fell down a small hill and fainted here.
Thinking back to her past self, Emma felt like slapping herself twice.
Why was she so pathetic?
However, when she raised her hand, she realized that her hands were white and tender, without the scars that had been later inflicted by Isabella, and her body was not in the excruciating pain of broken bones.
She...
Didn't she die?
She died in the swamp on that rainy night.
Or...
Emma's heart was pounding, and she pinched herself hard!
Pain.
Clear and real!
She actually came back to life, and returned to her 18th birthday!
"Hahaha, it's really a stroke of luck..."
Emma suddenly laughed, and tears rolled down her face as she laughed.
The past is not a dream. Everything that happened before is deeply imprinted in her mind!
In the previous life, she was foolish and allowed her second Uncle and his family, who were like wolves and tigers to come to her home, which gave her cousin Isabella a chance to take advantage of her.
She now deeply understands the wickedness of human nature now.
Fortunately, God is merciful and all the disasters that have befallen the Miller Family have not yet occurred in this life, and she still has a chance to make amends!
She will repay those who have wronged her and those who have helped her in this life!
Emma wiped away the tears on her face fiercely, and was about to get up when her phone in her pocket vibrated.
It was a call from William.
She and William had been childhood sweethearts, and for many years she had been chasing after him, but it was all a one-sided love affair.
But later, William suddenly changed his attitude and promised to marry her, but only if she took the blame for his lover and went to jail.
She agreed.
For this, she was willing to break ties with her parents, anger her father to the point of hospitalization, and spend five years in prison.
In return, she received only one sentence from him: "Are you worthy?"
Thinking of her foolishness in the previous life, Emma smiled and answered the call without much thought.
William's cold and impatient voice immediately came through the phone, "Emma, can you stop being so stubborn? Do we have to come and get you after you've run away? Let me tell you the truth, don't even dream about it. Even if I were to die, I would never like you!"
The exact same words as in her previous life.
She could imagine the look of disgust and dislike on his face even through the phone.
Emma touched her chin.
How did she respond in her previous life?
With a sobbing and pleading voice, she said, "I'll change for you no matter what you like, but can you try to accept me just once? I really can't live without you..."
Tsk.
Emma smiled slowly and replied, word by word, "Go screw yourself!"
