Short filmTranscript
00:00Inside a gothic cathedral stood two men looking for wives.
00:04One was Jace, a billionaire from the west coast.
00:06The other was Victor, a small-time thug from the east coast.
00:09For the sake of a massive bride price,
00:11our powerful stepmother made us choose which one we would marry.
00:14In my last life, my younger sister Lily rushed to choose Jace, the billionaire,
00:19and she pushed Victor, that low-life thug, onto me.
00:23But no one expected that five years later,
00:26Jace would go completely bankrupt,
00:28and Lily would have no choice but to move with him into a leaking slum.
00:32As for that thug Victor, he carved a bloody path across the east coast
00:36and became a mafia godfather who struck fear into everyone who heard his name.
00:40I became the mafia matriarch countless people tried to curry favor with.
00:43Luxury cars and yachts, whenever I went out, money spent like water.
00:47When I saw Lily starving in the slums, picking up discarded vegetable leaves,
00:51I kindly handed her a check for $1 million to help improve her life.
00:55But she tore the check to pieces, clamped both hands around my throat,
00:57and dragged me towards a speeding truck.
00:59Give me back the life that should have been mine!
01:01The truck roared past, and Lily and I died together.
01:05When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to five years ago,
01:09to the day Jace and Victor came to choose their wives.
01:15I like wild men.
01:16I'm going with you!
01:19As if she had already decided that in this life,
01:23she would become the mafia matriarch and crush me completely under her feet.
01:28I knew then that Lily had been reborn too.
01:31She thought she had stolen my life.
01:33But I only found it funny.
01:36Victor was no devoted underworld boss from some mafia movie.
01:39He was a demon who took pleasure in tormenting people.
01:42The only reason Victor became a mafia godfather in my last life
01:45was because of the leadership I gave him from behind the scenes.
01:49Even so, Victor still broke 199 of my bones.
01:52I looked at Lily's relieved expression and curved my lips.
01:57You think you're about to live a glorious life above everyone else?
02:00But you have no idea.
02:02This road will only drag you into hell.
02:05Lily thought that throwing herself into Victor's arms
02:07would guarantee he would take her in.
02:09But Victor shoved her away and fixed his gaze on me.
02:13Come here.
02:14I want you.
02:15My heart trembled.
02:16Fear flooded over me like a tide.
02:18Memories from my last life poured into my mind in an instant.
02:21Being chained in his basement and beaten.
02:23Being handed to other gangs as a hostage and violated.
02:25Having my bones shattered for human experiments.
02:28I froze where I stood.
02:29Unable to move even half a step.
02:31Lily panicked at the sight.
02:33Don't choose my sister Chloe.
02:34She's vain and greedy.
02:36Always thinking about diamonds and sports cars.
02:38How could she possibly endure your dangerous bloodstake life?
02:42She looks down on you, but I'm willing to suffer with you.
02:49Fine.
02:50Then you'll be my woman.
02:51As long as you behave and do what I say, I'll make sure you can walk all over this street.
02:57I believe you.
02:59I'll do whatever you say.
03:01At that moment, Jace, who stood beside us, held out an expensive wedding gown to me.
03:07Will you be my wife and leave with me?
03:09I'm currently facing a financial crisis.
03:13But I promise you, even if I lose everything, I'll never let you go hungry.
03:19Without hesitation, I placed my hand in his palm.
03:22I will.
03:23I knew very well that Jace was an exceptional man.
03:26In my last life, after Jace went bankrupt, even when he had to work three jobs a day,
03:30he still saved the last piece of bread for Lily.
03:32But Lily cursed him all day long, calling him useless.
03:35Since you're too blessed to appreciate him, then he'll be mine.
03:38When Lily climbed onto Victor's battered motorcycle, she turned back and whispered to me.
03:42Jace is about to go bankrupt and end up on the street.
03:45Victor will fight his way back into high society sooner or later.
03:49Chloe, in this life, you can wait in the gutter and look up at me.
03:54So she knew I had been reborn too, and she thought she had stolen my life.
03:58I watched the motorcycle roar away and sneered in the loop.
04:00Only I knew Victor would treat the woman beside him like a machine
04:03until he had squeezed out every last drop of value.
04:06In my last life, when I first followed Victor back to the East Coast,
04:09I had naively believed he was a good man too.
04:11He bought me the most expensive dresses and took me in and out of the top underground casinos.
04:16Even though back then, I was so afraid I could barely walk, he brainwashed me,
04:21telling me this was the unique love a man who lived on the edge had for me.
04:25Until one day, his gang hit a dead end.
04:28Without hesitation, he chained me up and handed me over to a rival gang.
04:32I was abused by those vile men for two full years.
04:37Only then did I understand that Victor had only ever seen me as a scapegoat he could discard at any
04:43time.
04:45Chloe, welcome home.
04:48Jace's gentle voice sounded beside me.
04:50I followed Jace into the villa.
04:52The moment he opened the door, I froze.
04:54It was a luxurious dressing room filled with limited edition gowns from the current season.
04:59Brilliant jewels flashed almost blindingly under the lights.
05:03My eyes warmed.
05:05Jace, thank you.
05:06I've never seen such a beautiful place.
05:08Since you've come home with me,
05:11you're the mistress of this house.
05:13Swipe the card for anything you want.
05:19I'll never let my woman suffer the slightest grievous.
05:23Warmth rushed through my chest.
05:26Even though his company was currently being jointly stingled by Wall Street,
05:30he still gave me the very best.
05:33I'll behave.
05:35Facts proved that Jace was the perfect gentleman.
05:37He cherished me like a priceless treasure.
05:39My food, clothes, and daily necessities were all top tier.
05:44But he didn't know that I was no longer the fallen heiress who only knew how to enjoy herself.
05:50In my last life, I hid behind the scenes and helped Victor build a massive mafia empire.
05:56In this life, I could help Jace protect everything too.
06:01I walked straight into his study and picked up the financial reports on his desk.
06:08Since you're protecting me, I'll protect your business empire for you.
06:13Only three days later, Wall Street's hunt began.
06:16Jace's enemies had brabbed an executive in his company.
06:18They planned to present a fake report at the board meeting and force Jace out.
06:21In my last life, Jace fell at this very step.
06:24Not only did he go bankrupt, he was also saddled with massive debt.
06:27But in this life, I was here.
06:29My experience laundering money for Victor in my past life made me intimately familiar with these kinds of business tactics.
06:35I hacked directly into that traitorous executive's email,
06:37obtained ironclade proof that they had falsified the data, and sent it straight to the FBI.
06:41Not only that, I also used a black card Jace had given me to set a financial trap in the
06:45futures market.
06:46Jace, this time you won't lose.
06:49That night, a top charity gala was held in Manhattan.
06:52I held Jace's arm and stepped out of a Rolls Royce.
06:55But unexpectedly, I ran into Lily there.
06:57Victor was nothing but an up-and-coming street thug.
07:00He had no qualifications to attend such an event.
07:02Clearly, Lily had forced Victor to fortune-buying invitations so she could show off her mafia wife persona.
07:06Lily arrogantly blocked my path.
07:08Chloe, what a surprise.
07:10Jace, that loser who's going bankrupt tonight, actually managed to borrow money to rent you a gown?
07:15You have no idea how amazing Victor is.
07:17He took over three blocks of territory.
07:19The cash he brings home could fill a bathtub!
07:23See that?
07:23He assigned me fully armed bodyguards to protect me, and every day he has people stew the finest supplements for
07:28me.
07:29You'll never experience this kind of love in your life.
07:32I looked at her nouveau riche posturing and smeared again and again in my heart.
07:36Bodyguards?
07:37Supplements?
07:38Lily had no idea that Victor's frantic territorial expansion had already angered several old mafia families.
07:44He gave Lily bodyguards to disguise her as a top-priority target and draw assassin fire.
07:49He fed her expensive supplements so he could draw her healthy blood and trade it to high-level figures on
07:54the underground black market in exchange for resources and life extension.
07:58I looked at Lily with pity.
08:00She wasn't far from death.
08:02Seeing me silent, Lily thought she had hit a sore point and laughed even more wildly.
08:08I just heard several Wall Street big shots say that after tonight, Jace will have nothing!
08:12She leaned closer and lowered her voice.
08:15When that happens, you'll have to sell yourself in the slums to pay off his debts.
08:20The throne above everyone else is mine in the end.
08:27I smiled.
08:29Then let's wait and see.
08:31When Lily saw that I wasn't intimidated at all, she stomped her foot hard.
08:36Chloe, just you wait!
08:37Sooner or later, you'll be kneeling and begging me!
08:42She turned and walked toward Eric, the crown prince of Wall Street, picked up a glass of champagne, and tried
08:48to build a connection.
08:49Mr. Eric, Victor asked me to send you his regards.
08:53From now on, he'll have your East Coast business covered.
08:56Eric didn't even look at her, before knocking over his glass with the back of his hand.
09:03What gutter rat thinks she's worthy of cozying up to me?
09:07But on TV, you clearly said you respected people who would do whatever it took to climb up.
09:12That's me!
09:13How can you look down on me?
09:14Watching this, I couldn't help finding it funny.
09:17In my last life, after Victor became a mafia godfast, Eric did indeed fawn over me like a dog.
09:22But Lily didn't know that the current Victor was nowhere near qualified.
09:26Capitalists like Eric only respected absolute power.
09:29They would never spare a second glance for a street thug's woman.
09:33A cheap whore who eats off gangsters has no right to dirty my suit.
09:40Mrs. Jace, congratulations to Mr. Jace on his perfect counterattack in the futures market tonight,
09:46earning a net profit of one billion!
09:48Wall Street will be relying on you from now on!
09:51Lily froze where she stood, shaking her head in disbelief.
09:54What nonsense are you talking about? Jace is supposed to go bankrupt tonight!
09:57Victor is the future godfather!
09:58She suddenly lunged at Eric.
09:59Eric, open your eyes! You should be working with me!
10:01Eric shoved her to the floor, his face full of disgust.
10:03Who collects protection money?
10:04Tonight, some other family will throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.
10:07What mafia matriarch fantasy are you having?
10:09The surrounding elite covered their ears and laughed, their gazes as sharp as knives.
10:13So she's a lunatook trying to use a thug to climb into power!
10:16Hurry up and call security to throw this bitch out! She's dirtying our eyes!
10:19Humiliated to the bone, Lily climbed up from the floor and glared at everyone with hatred.
10:22Victor, pull out your gun! Show them who the king of the East Coast really is!
10:26The doors to the banquet hall were kicked open.
10:28Victor stormed in arrogantly with a dozen tattooed men, all carrying machetes.
10:31Who the fuck dares touch my woman?
10:33Eric sneered. In an instant, dozens of armed Blackwater bodyguards surged out from every direction.
10:37Red laser sights locked onto Victor's forehead and chest in unisys.
10:40Victor's legs went weak. With a thud, he dropped to his knees.
10:43Mr. Eric, misunderstanding! This crazy bitch lost her mind! It has nothing to do with me!
10:47Victor, what are you saying?
10:48Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak here?
10:51To distance himself from her, he crawled over, grabbed Lily by the hair, and slapped her across
10:56the face again and again, more than a dozen times. Blood filled the corners of Lily's mouth.
11:01Her soul seemed to leave her body as he slapped her over and over.
11:05No! It shouldn't be like this!
11:07The entire hall fell into dead silence. Jace calmly set down his wine glass and shielded me behind him.
11:13He leisurely wiped a drop of wine from the hem of his jacket. Every movement refined and elegant.
11:17He was worlds apart from Victor, who had just been wagging his tail and begging.
11:21If you're not gone in one minute, all of you are going into the sea.
11:26After dropping that threat, Eric strode away with his bodyguards.
11:30Lily seized the chance to break free from Victor and stumbled toward the door.
11:33You all look down on me today, but sooner or later you'll regret it!
11:36I will become a mafia godmother!
11:38Because her pride had been completely trampled, Lily never again had the face to appear in public
11:43after that day. Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
11:48In my last life, these three months were exactly the death trap.
11:54When Victor's territory was jointly purged by the major mafia families.
11:58To borrow money from a Mexican drug lord for weapons, he personally pushed me onto an underground
12:03gambling table. Those desperados shoved a loaded Resolvor into my mouth and forced me to play Russian
12:11Selet. Each time the trigger was pulled, Victor showed no heartache at all. Instead, he held other
12:21women and laughed loudly as he placed his bets. The despair of that cold gun barrel pressed against my
12:28throat. Utterly shredded my dignity as a human being. In his eyes, I had never been a mafia matriarch.
12:36I was only a chip he could trade for money at any time.
12:41I didn't know whether Lily would experience all of that.
12:46But based on my observation of Victor in this life, he would only torment Lily even more viciously.
12:52Facts proved my guess was right. The next morning, I had just walked out of an upscale
12:57clubhouse, when a battered pickup car riddled with bullet holes, came barreling towards me like mad.
13:03A bodyguard threw me to the ground, and the pickup slammed into a stone pillar beside us with a crash.
13:13Lily's shrill voice came from inside.
13:16Chloe, get out here!
13:19My heart jolted. Lily had come.
13:28Although I had prepared myself, when I saw what she looked like now, I nearly vomited.
13:34I never imagined Victor would torture Lily into such a state.
13:37Lily tumbled out of the bullet-rivet old pickup. Her once delicate face was sun and deathly pale.
13:43Beneath her expensive silk-slip dress, her body was covered in bruises and needle marks.
13:48She crawled toward me and clung tightly to my leg.
13:51Chloe! Let's switch back!
13:53Knot and tears mixed together on her face, making her look both pitiful and disgusting.
13:57That lunatic Victor has been losing territory lately, and he's taking all his anger out on me!
14:03He draws my blood every day to sell it, and he forces me to accompany those perverts so he can
14:08win resources!
14:09She suddenly lifted her head and shouted with righteous confidence.
14:13You clearly knew this life would be so miserable! Why didn't you warn me?
14:17This was supposed to be your suffering! Let's switch back now!
14:21You go be Victor's dog, and I'll be your rich wife!
14:25Hearing such shameless words, I sneered and kicked her away.
14:30Switch back? Lily? Did they beat your brain broken?
14:35I looked down at her from above. Who was the one who rushed to climb onto Victor's motorcycle?
14:44Who was the one who gloated and mocked me, saying I could only look up at you from the slums?
14:51She lay on the ground, pounding the pavement in a frenzy as she screamed.
14:56That's because you tricked me!
14:59You hid from me what would happen if I chose Victor!
15:03But don't get too pleased with yourself!
15:06A flash of vicious, sick pleasure crossed Lily's eyes.
15:09According to how things went in the last life, that useless Jace is going completely bankrupt today!
15:15When that happens, you won't even be able to afford the slums!
15:19You'll have to beg on the street!
15:21The words had barely left her mouth.
15:25Twelve Rolls-Royce phantoms roared to a stop in front of us, sealing off the entire street.
15:31The car doors opened.
15:33Dressed in a custom suit, strode toward us surrounded by dozens of Blackwater bodyguards.
15:37Seeing such an astonishing scene, throat tightened, a sharp swallow betraying her shock.
15:41Impossible! You're supposed to go bankrupt today! How could you still have money?
15:45But she instantly reacted.
15:47Now was the time to cling to power.
15:49She shoved me aside and rushed toward two,
15:51deliberately exposing her collarbones and leaning close as she pleaded sweetly.
15:54Mr. Michu, don't be deceived by my sister!
15:56She's a demon to the bone!
15:58Sooner or later, she'll destroy your business empire!
16:00Lifted her head pitifully.
16:02Only a clean woman like me is worthy of your wealth.
16:04As long as you want me...
16:05Get away!
16:06Didn't even spare her a sidelong glance.
16:08He walked straight past her and came to me.
16:11He took out an expensive handkerchief and, with aching tenderness,
16:15wiped the dust grabbed onto the hem of my clothes.
16:18Then he turned and looked down at her.
16:20If she really is a demon, then I'd willingly offer her my soul.
16:24Besides, she's the one who helped me dominate Wall Street.
16:27Chloe is my only woman.
16:29As for you, you're not even worthy of carrying her shoes.
16:31Picture One looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
16:34Jealousy twisted her features.
16:36She screamed and tried to lunge forward again.
16:38No!
16:39This life should be mine!
16:42Just then, an old, unlicensed van screeched to a stop by the roadside.
16:47Two tattooed thugs jumped out, grabbed her by the hair, and dragged her viciously toward the van.
16:54Filthy bitch!
16:55How dare you run out and play victim!
16:57Boss Victor is waiting for you to come back!
17:00We haven't drawn enough blood today!
17:02Watching the van speed away, I frowned.
17:04Special supplements?
17:06Had Victor come up with some new trick again?
17:08The instincts I had developed in my last life while managing Victor's underground industries told me this was absolutely not
17:13simple.
17:14After returning to the Manishin, I immediately locked the study-a-door and turned off the computer.
17:18Relying my understanding of Victor's crated network from my Yen-P, the Uth-Rai, bypassed the firewall with ease, and
17:24hacked directly into the underground medical system he had recently connected.
17:28In an encrypted purchase list, I found the true ingredients of those special supplements.
17:32The moment I clicked it open, a chill crawled up my spine.
17:36They weren't supplements at all.
17:37They were living organ rejection suppressors, a substance explicitly banned on the dark web.
17:42So that was it.
17:43Victor's frantic expansion had angered the old mafia, and his cash flow had completely collapsed.
17:49To repay his debts, he had accepted a live organ order from a sick drug lord.
17:55Victor fed her that drug every day and kept her well-fed.
17:58Not because he cherished her, because he was treating her like a mobable organ incubator.
18:02Ensuring that her heart and corneals would perfectly match the buyer's body when they were dug out.
18:07Ridiculous, Lily.
18:09She thought she had stolen my script as mafia matriarch, and ran around showing off that exclusive love, never knowing
18:15she was walking step by step towards the slaughterhouse.
18:18I scrolled to the last line of the order.
18:21The system showed that the harvest delivery date was three days later, at an East Coast elite charity gala.
18:27I curved my lips coldly.
18:29The show was about to begin.
18:31On the night of the delivery, the East Coast's most prestigious charity gala was held at a Manhattan hotel.
18:36And at that moment, she knew nothing about death's arrival.
18:39Because she had been taking that illegal rejection-suppressing drug for so long, her body was already on the verge
18:44of collapse.
18:45She could barely take two steps without losing her breath.
18:47But she still believed it was only weakness caused by Victor's abuse.
18:51She stole an invitation from Victor's drawer, covered her corpse pale face with thick foundation, and snuck into the gala.
18:57Amid the glittering crowd, she immediately set her sights on a gray-haired Wall Street magnetite.
19:01She used the same old trick, forcing tears into her eyes as she pressed herself delicately against the magnet's arm.
19:05Sir, please save me. Victor, that thug keeps torturing me.
19:09As long as you're willing to pay to take me away, I'll do anything for you.
19:12She looked at the magnet with expectation, thinking that with her looks, finding a new patron would be easy.
19:17The magnet held his glass of red wine and looked her up and down.
19:20But there was no desire in his eyes.
19:23Take you away.
19:27Poor little thing, don't you know?
19:29Victor already pre-sold your heart and cornalized to me yesterday.
19:34I'm your buyer.
19:38The moment you heard that, the fanging expression on her face froze.
19:42All the blood in her body seemed to turn to ice.
19:46What did you say?
19:49What did you say?
19:51My heart, my corneals?
19:52Her mind exploded with a buzz.
19:54She finally understood what those expensive supplements really were.
19:57The mafia love she had been so proud of had been nothing more than fattening her like a pig for
20:02slaughter from beginning to end.
20:03No, no, no!
20:05She shoved the magnet away and fled through the banquet hall like a madwoman, not even noticing when one of
20:10her high heels fell off.
20:11She crashed headfirst into me, as I stood arm in arm with the man, chatting and laughing with the mayor.
20:17Bang!
20:18When she saw it was me, she seemed to seize the last straw of hope.
20:22With a thud, she dropped to her knees at my feet and slammed her head against the floor again and
20:26again.
20:26Sister, I was wrong! I really was wrong!
20:29She cock-o'd it until blood streamed down her forehead, wailing missibly.
20:33Victor wants to cut out my heart!
20:41I looked down at her from above, my eyes utterly unmoved.
20:45You chose your own road.
20:47I coldly pulled back the hem of my dress.
20:49If you walk into hell yourself, don't blame others for not reaching out.
20:53Lily collapsed to the floor in despair.
20:56Just then, the doors to the banquet hall were kicked open.
20:58First third one swaggered in with several armed, tattooed men.
21:02In his hand was a huge, thick four.
21:04A sinister smile hung on his lips as he walked step-by-step towards Sir Lung on the floor.
21:12Seeing the man approach with the sedative, the girl scrambled backward in terror, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.
21:18The distinguished guests at the gala were terrified.
21:21The man shouted,
21:22Let me move! I'm only here to take my goods today!
21:25Anyone who dares call the cops, I'll kill their whole family!
21:28Standing beside one, I watched the farce coldly.
21:31Not only did I not hide, I took my phone out of my clutch.
21:35Save Lily?
21:36Impossible.
21:37But I would never pass up the chance to crush Victor completely.
21:41My slender fingers tapped rapidly across the screen, activating the projon I had set up in advance.
21:45In less than three seconds, Victor's 13 money laundering accounts on the global dark internet were wiped clean and frozen.
21:51At the same time, he elegantly pressed the send button on his wall,
21:53packaging and sending the complete surveillance footage and evidence chain of Victor's live organ transaction tonight to the FBI in
21:59one place.
22:00The next second, police sirens and ready-flashing lights pierce through the banquet hall.
22:03Dozens of SWAT armored vehicles blocked the entrance so tightly that not even water could pass.
22:06Boss! All our accounts have been frozen! The place is crawling with cops!
22:09One's men stared at their phones in terror.
22:10One's face went deathly pale, as if he had fallen into an ice pit.
22:13What? What's going on?
22:15He could no longer care about anything else.
22:16He lunged at her and stabbed the thick syringe viciously into her neck.
22:20Everybody stay the fuck back!
22:23Anyone moves, and I'll blow this bitch's head off!
22:28The entire tube of illegal green liquid was pushed into Lily's vein.
22:32It wasn't an ordinary sedative, but a high concentration, mania-inducing death.
22:35In less than two seconds, Lily's eyes flooded bloodline, and the veins on her neck bulged like earthworms.
22:40Her entire body lost all sense of pain and reason.
22:42She stared fixably at me, dazzling and glamorous, protected in Jace's arms.
22:46The extreme resentment of being trampled underfoot erupted completely under the drug's effects.
22:49I was reborn too, so why do you get to live so well?
22:52Lily let out a beast-like howl that barely sounded human.
22:55She actually bit into Victor's arm and tore off a large chunk of flesh.
22:58Victor screamed and let go.
22:59Like a vengeful ghost, Lily grabbed a sharp, broken wine bottle from the table and charged wildly at my face.
23:04I'll ruin you! Go to hell with me!
23:07She was extremely fat.
23:08It didn't even blink.
23:09Before she could get within half a meter of me,
23:11Jace lifted his long leg and delivered a ruthlessly clean sidekick straight to Lily's chest.
23:15Lily flew out like a torn sack.
23:16With a crash, she smashed heavily into the five-tier champagne tower.
23:19Glass shards pierced her entire body, and blood gushed out.
23:22Lying in a pool of blood, she vomited blood while pointing at me and laughing madly.
23:25Jace, don't be fooled by her!
23:28Lily shrieked hysterically, trying to use her final tropsod to destroy me.
23:31She's a reborn woman!
23:33In her last life, she was a demon with blood all over her hands!
23:37She only chose you because she knew you would become rich in this life!
23:41She doesn't love you at all!
23:46The entire room fell silent.
23:48Blood filled Lily's mouth as she looked at Jace smugly,
23:52thinking that exposing the secret of rebirth.
23:54At me with disgust, she screamed.
23:56In her last life, you were picking through trash in the slums
23:59while she was all-powerful mafia matriarch!
24:02You're just a tool she's using!
24:03Everyone waited for Jace's reaction.
24:05I stood where I was and looked at him calmly.
24:08Jace looked down at Lily on the floor, his lips curling in a cold smile.
24:11If that's true, then I really should thank you for your stupidity in this life.
24:16Jace's voice was low and dominating.
24:17Thank you for personally pushing such a perfect wife into my arms.
24:21Just then, SWAT officers broke through the doors.
24:24Don't move! Drop your weapons!
24:28The scene descended instantly into chaos.
24:30Seeing that the tide had turned, Victor grabbed a chair and smashed the floor to ceiling window.
24:34In the final second before he leapt into the cold seawater, Victor stared hard at me.
24:38Shielded in Jace's arms, my eyes cold.
24:40In her last life, she was the all-powerful mafia matriarch.
24:43In his mind, the sentence Lily had shouted flash like lightning.
24:46Victor's eyes instantly changed from fear to shock.
24:48It was her?
24:49Cold seawater choked his windpipe.
24:51Victor swam desperately through the sewer like a stray dog that had lost its home.
24:55But Lily's words from the gala kept replaying in his mind.
24:57In her last life, she was the all-powerful mafia matriarch.
25:00Victor fled back to the moldy-smelling basement and looked at the territory he had now lost completely.
25:05His heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.
25:07He suddenly remembered many details from his last life.
25:10In his last life, every time his gang hit a dead end, he would somehow receive intelligence to solve it
25:14the next day.
25:15He had thought Lily was born blessed with good fortune, so each time he had placed Lily high on a
25:19pedestal.
25:19But in this life, Lily, who carried memories too, was a fool who didn't even understand mafia slang,
25:24and only knew how to cry for designer brands.
25:26And just now at the gala, the way Chloe froze his overseas dark web accounts
25:30was exactly like the mysterious strategist behind the scenes from his last life.
25:34Victor understood in an instant.
25:36It was Chloe.
25:37The one who helped me conquer everything in my last life.
25:40The one who shielded me from danger was Chloe all along!
25:43Victor's knees went weak, and he dropped onto the damp floor.
25:48He finally realized that with his own hands, he had thrown away a queen who could have helped him dominate
25:53the world,
25:53only to pick up a useless blood bag that had drained him dry.
25:57Victor's bloodshot eyes locked onto a financial magazine photo of Jace and Chloe on the wall.
26:04He punched the frame to pieces.
26:06Chloe is mine!
26:07She belongs to me!
26:09Three days later, in the underground parking garage of the J group,
26:13I had just stepped out of my private elevator,
26:16when a foul-smelling, unshaven man suddenly lunged out from behind a load-carrying pollen.
26:23Chloe! I finally found you!
26:25It was Victor.
26:26With a heavy thud, he dropped to his knees in front of me.
26:29Ignoring the muddy water on the ground,
26:31he sobbed and slapped himself across the face again and again.
26:34I was wrong, Chloe. I was blinded by that idiot Lily.
26:37I was blind as a dog!
26:38He shuffled forward on his knees,
26:40trying to hug my leg,
26:41crying until his face was covered in snot and tears.
26:43You're my woman.
26:45As long as you come back,
26:46we can join hands like in our last life and take Jace money.
26:49We're the destined king and queen of the underworld!
26:52Looking at him so utterly pathetic,
26:54I felt only nausea.
26:56I pressed the red emergency alarm on my car key.
27:00The piercing alarm instantly echoed through the garage.
27:03Victor panicked and still tried to forcibly drag me.
27:06A dark figure flashed past.
27:08Jace, like a leopard, kicked Victor three meters away.
27:11Jace unbuttoned his suit jacket unhastingly
27:13and handed it to the bodyguard behind him.
27:15His eyes held a terrifying violence.
27:16Victor, you're not only blind,
27:19you're hopelessly stupid.
27:21Jace!
27:22You're nothing but a pretty boy living off a woman!
27:26Driven into a corner,
27:27Victor erupted with a desperado's ferocity.
27:30He pulled out a switchblade
27:31and roared as he lunged at Jace.
27:34But he had no idea what kind of monster he was facing.
27:37Jace didn't even dodge.
27:38He shifted slightly to avoid the blade,
27:40then caught Victor's wrist in a backhand grip
27:41and snapped it hard.
27:43The crisp sound of breaking bone rang out.
27:45Victor let out a pig-like scream,
27:46and the knife fell to the floor.
27:48Then Jace drove his knee upward,
27:49slamming it heavily into Victor's chest.
27:52Two ribs snapped instantly.
27:53The entire sequence flowed smoothly,
27:56carrying a brutal beauty of absolute domination.
27:59Victor collapsed to the floor like mud,
28:01coughing out mouthfuls of blood.
28:03Jace stepped forward
28:04and mercilessly planted his leather shoe
28:06on Victor's broken fingers,
28:07grinding down hard.
28:09You think you deserved her in your last life?
28:12Jace looked down at Victor
28:13as he coralsed in pain.
28:15You couldn't protect her.
28:18All you could do
28:19was rely on the pitiful power she handed you.
28:22And in this life,
28:25you don't even have the right to say her name.
28:28Jace gestured.
28:30Blackwater bodyguards stepped forward
28:31and dragged Victor like a dead dog,
28:33throwing him into the garbage heap in the back alley.
28:35And at that moment,
28:36the gears of fate turned.
28:37An ambulance from the hospital
28:39happened to stop at the Annie entrance.
28:41The one who secretly slipped down from it
28:43was Lily,
28:43dragging her broken body.
28:45To avoid the expensive medical bills,
28:47Lily had escaped from the public hospital.
28:49She limped into the back alley,
28:51about to look for something to eat,
28:53when she suddenly saw Victor
28:54rivaling in the garbage heap.
28:57Victor?
28:58The moment she made out that face,
28:59Lily showed not the slightest sympathy.
29:01Instead, she burst into wild laughter.
29:03You liar!
29:04Weren't you a mafia boss?
29:05Why are you lying here like a stray dog?
29:07Victor struggled to open his eyes,
29:08seeing the woman who had ruined him so badly.
29:10Old hatred and new rage erupted like a volcano.
29:13If not for Lily,
29:14how would he have lost Chloe?
29:19Filthy bitch!
29:20This is all your fault!
29:22Victor lunged at her,
29:23clapped his hands around Lily's throat,
29:25and pressed her into the filthy,
29:26water-water-filled garbage heap.
29:28You useless thing!
29:29Give me back Chloe!
29:31Give me back my mafia empire!
29:32Lily's eyes rolled back from the choking,
29:34and her hands clawed wildly.
29:35The true love they had once believed
29:36would bring mutual benefit
29:37now tore at each other like two mad dogs,
29:39blaming each other and ripping each other apart.
29:41In the final second before suffocation,
29:43Lily's hand found a sharp shard of glass.
29:46Go to hell!
29:48Using all her strength,
29:50she stabbed the shard fiercely
29:52into Victor's female artery.
29:54Blood instantly sprayed out like a fountain,
29:56splattering across Lily's face.
29:59Victor screamed.
30:02The two of them collapsed together
30:04into the reeking pool of blood and trash,
30:07convulsing in despair.
30:08A passerby discovered them and called the police,
30:10and the two were taken back to the public hospital.
30:12Due to severe blood loss,
30:13Victor's thigh was already paralyzed.
30:15As for Lily,
30:16when she woke up in the hospital bed,
30:18a doctor walked over to her coldly with her test results.
30:20Because you have been taking illegal living organ suppresses
30:23from your dark web for a long time,
30:25your kidneys and liver have completely failed.
30:27You have two months at most.
30:29There's no treatment value.
30:31Wait to die.
30:32The doctor's words were like a final verdict.
30:35Lily finally realized it.
30:37The rebirth script,
30:38she had thought herself so clever for stealing,
30:41had not helped her rise above everyone else.
30:44Instead,
30:45she had personally pushed open the gates to hell.
30:48The television on the hospital wall lit up.
30:50On the screen,
30:51the grand celebration of the Jace Group's
30:53successful listing on Wall Street
30:55was being broadcast live.
30:56I wore a gown and rang the opening bell
30:59under the eyes of the world,
31:01dazzling like a queen.
31:02If I can't live,
31:03you won't have peace either!
31:06She violently ripped the IV needle
31:08from the back of her hand.
31:09Blood dripped onto the white sheets.
31:11She stole a nurse's uniform
31:13and made an insane decision.
31:15Lily wrapped all the wounds on her body in bandages,
31:17pulled the loose cleaner's robe over herself,
31:19and slipped in the outdoor celebration banquet
31:21for the Jace Group's listing in her arms.
31:23She carried a large barrel of gasoline,
31:25had bought on the black market.
31:26As long as she could burn me and Jace
31:28to ashes in front of everyone,
31:30she would be willing to die in the flames immediately.
31:32At the center of the reception,
31:34Jace and I were being interviewed by global media.
31:37I wore a custom gown and looked invincible
31:39beneath the flashes.
31:40Lily hid behind a pillar in the shadows,
31:42staring at that blinding glory.
31:44The flames of jealousy in her heart
31:46burned all the way up her throat.
31:48Die!
31:48All of you die!
31:50She pushed the cart,
31:51carrying the gasoline using the darkness
31:53to inch closer to the ventilation system.
31:55As long as she pressed the igniter,
31:57this place would become a living hell.
31:59Just as her hand reached for the lighter,
32:00a pair of rough hands suddenly stretched out
32:02from the darkness,
32:03clamped over her mouth,
32:04and dragged her forcibly
32:06into the dim fire stairwell.
32:08It was Victor.
32:12Who told you to make a move?
32:14He still hadn't given up.
32:15He wanted to use Lily for one last struggle.
32:17What we need is money.
32:19We need the lifeline in Chloe's hands.
32:21You are not allowed to act.
32:23Chloe!
32:24Once your sister alive,
32:25bring ten million in cash to basement level two.
32:28Remember, no bodyguards.
32:30He thought I would go soft.
32:32He thought that as long as I appeared,
32:34he could use me as a bargaining chain
32:35to turn the tables,
32:36just like in The Last Life.
32:39Watching the video.
32:41Madam,
32:42shall I mobilize mercenaries
32:44and flatten the place?
32:45No need.
32:46I want them to see with their own eyes
32:48that before this position,
32:50they don't even qualify to be ants.
32:53Instead, I had Jace robilize
32:54the city's armed forces
32:55and surround the entire building
32:57like an iron barrel.
32:58Basement level two.
33:00Victor stared at the elevator
33:01with high expectations.
33:05How is this possible?
33:06How dare you come without the money?
33:09I slowly stepped out
33:10from behind the bodyguards,
33:11every step calm and elegant.
33:13I didn't even glance at Lily,
33:14who was tied to the fire hydrant.
33:16Victor,
33:17you used me in my last life
33:19and tortured me in this one.
33:20Did you think you could still threaten me
33:22like some ridiculous clown?
33:24Didn't you want to light the fire?
33:26Go on.
33:27Don't be a coward.
33:29When Lily heard this,
33:30the last spark of hope in her eyes
33:32went out completely.
33:33She looked at my lofty posture,
33:34at how I didn't even deign
33:36to give her a single dance.
33:38I'm done playing!
33:39I'm really done playing!
33:42I'll make all of you die with me!
33:47Before Victor could react,
33:48Lily suddenly broke free
33:49from the cut ropes
33:50and, like a madwoman,
33:51wrapped her arms tightly
33:52around Victor's neck.
33:53Don't ruin me!
33:56You made me into this monster!
33:58She bit down hard on Victor's ear,
34:00bloody tears streaming from her eyes.
34:03Victor, didn't you want money?
34:05Didn't you want to be
34:07the emperor of the underworld?
34:09Then let's go be that in hell!
34:12You crazy bitch!
34:14Let go of me!
34:16He struggled desperately,
34:17but Lily no longer wanted to live.
34:19She slammed violently
34:20into the still-burning lighter in Victor's eye.
34:22A whole barrel of gasoline
34:23instantly poured over them both.
34:25Flames shot into the air,
34:26lighting up the entire
34:27underground garage.
34:28Fire swallowed the two evil ghosts
34:30who at once screamed
34:31against each other
34:31and now died together
34:32like conjoined twins.
34:34Amid piercing screams,
34:35they twisted and rolled
34:36in the flames.
34:37Under Jace's protection,
34:38I turned and left.
34:40Behind me was the past
34:41reduced to scorched earth.
34:43And I strode toward the future
34:45that belonged to me.
34:48The fire was quickly extinguished.
34:50Victor and Lily
34:51were completely reduced
34:52to two charred corpses,
34:53so burned that even DNA
34:54was difficult to extract.
34:56The news spread everywhere.
34:57The media frantically dug
34:58into the so-called family feud
35:00within the conglomerate.
35:01I did not have the PR department
35:02cover it up.
35:03Instead, I took the initiative
35:05to release to the media
35:06Victor's illegal live organ trading network
35:08and the evidence that he and Lily
35:10had planned the assassination.
35:11The media outlets
35:12that had originally been waiting
35:14to laugh at us
35:15quickly turned their guns around
35:17in the face of iron-flabbed criminal evidence
35:19and praised us as heroes
35:22who had eliminated a cancer from society.
35:26The group's stock not only did not fall,
35:29it surged for three straight days
35:30in the market
35:31because of our positive image
35:33of punishing evil
35:34and protecting the innocent.
35:36I stood before the floor
35:38declasing windows,
35:39looking down at the ant-like crowds below.
35:41Just then,
35:42Jace walked over
35:43with a glass of expensive red wine
35:45and gently pulled me into his arms.
35:48Madam,
35:49those troublesome mafia families
35:51have all signed
35:52the asset transfer agreements
35:53according to your requirements.
35:55He kissed my cheek tenderly.
35:57After tonight,
35:57there will be no so-called
35:58underground rules on the East Coast.
36:00You are the only rule.
36:01I looked out
36:02at the glittering knee
36:03beyond the window,
36:04lightly swirling
36:05the blood-red wine in my glass.
36:06The smile of certain sectority
36:08curved my lip.
36:09Although Victor was dead,
36:10the territory he left behind
36:12had become a piece of fat meat.
36:14The twelve remaining
36:15old mafia families
36:16on the East Coast
36:17were eager to move.
36:19In their eyes,
36:20Jace was nothing more
36:21than a legitimate businesswoman
36:22taking advantage of an opening.
36:24That night,
36:25a threatening letter
36:25containing a bullet
36:26was delivered to the group headquarters,
36:28demanding that Jace
36:29hand over 70%
36:30of the shipping routes,
36:31or he would not live
36:32to see tomorrow's sun.
36:33Looking at the bullet
36:34on the desk,
36:35killing intake surged
36:36in Jace's eyes,
36:37and he was about to order
36:38a direct assault.
36:39I pressed down on his hand,
36:40took a black encrypted
36:41USB drive from the safe,
36:43and tossed it lightly
36:44onto the desk.
36:45A direct attack
36:46would be too merciful.
36:47This is the
36:48underground intelligence network.
36:49I spent five years
36:51building in my last life.
36:52I looked at Jace,
36:53my gaze confident and cold.
36:55It contains every financial weakness
36:57of those twelve families.
36:58The locations of their
36:59illegitimate children overseas
37:00and conclusive evidence
37:02of their dark web smugging.
37:04One fatal threat.
37:05Death, I'm still alive.
37:07Jace picked up the USB drive.
37:09The viciousness in his eyes
37:10instantly transformed
37:11into the utmost admiration
37:13and indulgent affection.
37:14He lowered his head
37:15and kissed me deeply.
37:16As you command, my queen.
37:18Tonight,
37:19I'll tear down their thrones
37:20and turn them into
37:21stepping stones for you.
37:22Outside the window,
37:23thunder rolled
37:24and rain lashed down.
37:26Alone,
37:26Jace pushed open the doors
37:28to the East Coast
37:28underground round table chamber.
37:30Inside the round table chamber,
37:32twelve mafia elders
37:33were smoking cigars
37:34and laughing arrogantly.
37:35Seeing that Jace
37:36had truly dared
37:37to come alone,
37:37several hot-tempered old men
37:39pulled out
37:39gold-plated pistols
37:40and slammed them
37:41heavily onto the table.
37:42Pretty boy,
37:42if you know what's good for you,
37:43you'll sign the
37:44asset transfer agreement.
37:46Then we might still
37:46leave you and that
37:47beautiful wife of yours
37:48whole corpses.
37:49Jace didn't even
37:50look at the guns.
37:51He leisurely pulled out
37:53the chair at the head
37:54of the table
37:54and sat down,
37:56then threw twelve
37:56printed sets of
37:57confidential financial
37:59datements and photos
38:00into their faces
38:01like trash.
38:02Look at your own cards
38:03before you decide
38:04whether to raise
38:05your voice at me.
38:06The elders picked up
38:07the documents
38:07and their faces
38:08turned instantly pale.
38:10The hands holding
38:11their cigars
38:12trembled like sieves.
38:13Those were their
38:14most lethal weak points.
38:16As long as Jace
38:16sent them with one click,
38:18they would immediately
38:19lose everything,
38:20perhaps even their families.
38:22You?
38:23What do you want?
38:25Jace smeared
38:25and snapped his fingers lightly.
38:27The hidden walls
38:27around the chamber
38:28instantly descended,
38:29revealing hundreds
38:30of heavily armed mercenaries
38:31whose infrared sights
38:32were all locked
38:33onto the centers
38:34of their foreheads.
38:35Jace rose and looked
38:35down at the once
38:36invincible underworld
38:37overlords from above.
38:38Sign the submission agreement.
38:40From today on,
38:41the rules of the
38:42East Coast underworld
38:42are decided by my wife.
38:44When Jace returned
38:45to the manor
38:46with the tokens
38:46of submission
38:47from the twelve families,
38:48it was already
38:49late at night.
38:50After my shower,
38:51I stood before
38:52the Florida clearing windows,
38:54watching the wind
38:54and rain
38:55finally stop outside.
38:56Jace embraced me
38:57from behind
38:58and slipped
38:58the black gold serpent ring,
39:00a symbol of the highest power
39:01on the dark wet,
39:02onto my ring finger.
39:03His fingers
39:04were faintly callid.
39:06When they touched my back,
39:07my body stiffened
39:08controllably
39:08because of the bone-deep
39:09memories of beatings
39:10from my last life.
39:11Jace noticed.
39:12He did not rush
39:13to take anything from me.
39:15Instead,
39:16he turned me around
39:16and looked at me
39:17with aching tenderness.
39:19He lowered his head
39:20and reverently kissed
39:21the invisible scars
39:21on my body,
39:22kissing away
39:23the last trace
39:23of guardedness
39:24towards intimacy
39:25in my heart.
39:26Chloe,
39:27in this life,
39:28you're no one's strategist
39:29behind the scenes anymore
39:30and you don't have to
39:31take a blade for anyone.
39:33Jace's held my face,
39:34his voice low
39:35woe and tempting.
39:36You are the only one
39:37in power
39:38and I am your
39:39most loyal believer.
39:41Looking at the deep love
39:42burning in his eyes
39:43for me alone,
39:43I finally let go
39:45completely of the shadows
39:46from my past life.
39:47I wrapped my arms
39:48around his neck
39:49and kissed him back
39:49with equal heat.
39:50Moonlight streamed
39:51through the windows
39:52and spilled across
39:52the luxurious bed
39:53where two figures
39:54merged completely.
39:55Five years later,
39:57it was the very day
39:57when, in my last life,
39:58Jace went bankrupt
39:59and Lily rolled beneath
40:00the truck to her death.
40:01But now we were
40:01at the top floor
40:02of the highest tower
40:02on Wall Street.
40:03Wearing a custom gown,
40:04I rang the NASDAQ
40:05opening bell,
40:06the richest person
40:06in the world
40:07and the supreme matriarch
40:08of the dark web.
40:09Thunderous applause
40:09filled the room
40:10and camera flashes
40:11blazed like daylight.
40:12Holding a glass of champagne,
40:13I walked to the floor
40:13to clear window
40:14and looked down
40:14over the city
40:15I had thoroughly conquered.
40:16At the end of my line
40:17of sight lay that
40:18filthy slum.
40:19In my last life,
40:20Lily had gnawed
40:20on rotten vegetable leaves
40:21there, then dragged me
40:22to my death
40:22out of jealousy.
40:23In this life,
40:24she thought she had
40:25stolen the Trump part,
40:26but she turned to ashes
40:27in the very first year.
40:28Jace walked to my side
40:29holding our three-year-old heir.
40:32Affection as he wrapped
40:33an arm around my waist.
40:35As if performing magic,
40:36he took a document
40:37from the pocket
40:38of his suit
40:38and handed it to me.
40:40Darling,
40:40you said before
40:41that looking at that slum
40:42bothered you.
40:43I've had people approve
40:44the demolition plan
40:44to buy it.
40:45I looked at the document
40:46and couldn't help
40:47laughing softly.
40:47The place that had buried
40:48our fates in my last life
40:49could now be erased
40:50completely from the map
40:51with nothing more
40:52than my signature.
40:53Three days later,
40:54more than a dozen
40:54heavy bulldozers
40:55drove into the slums.
40:56Amid the enormous roar,
40:58the dilapidated chantels,
40:59the place that had buried
41:00Lily's greed and despair,
41:01collapsed with a crash
41:02and became ruined.
41:03On the original site,
41:04the world's largest
41:04commercial landmark,
41:05named after me,
41:06would rise.
41:08At the groundbreaking ceremony,
41:10global media swarmed in.
41:12Countless microphones
41:13were thrust in front of me.
41:15This is Jace Mayer.
41:16How did you go
41:16from an ordinary girl
41:17to the overlord
41:18who dominates both
41:19the legitimate
41:19and underground worlds today?
41:20What was the core secret?
41:22Is it because you were lucky
41:23and chose the right person?
41:25Hearing the question,
41:26I raised my brows slightly.
41:28I turned and glanced
41:29down from the stage.
41:30Jace was holding our son,
41:31watching me with a smile
41:33like the most loyal knight.
41:34Eyes filled the pride of someone
41:35thinking,
41:36my wife shines brightest.
41:37I withdrew my eyes
41:38and looked to the camera,
41:39the corner of my throat
41:40curving into a calm,
41:41aggressively confident smile.
41:43Fate has never been about
41:44what cards you manage to steal.
41:47It's about whether you have
41:48the brains to play them well.
41:50Unfortunately,
41:51some people think
41:52they've stolen the winning hand,
41:53but they don't even qualify
41:55to sit at the table.
41:56I raised the champagne
41:57in my hand.
41:58Sunlight struck
41:59the black gold serpent ring,
42:00refracting a dazzling gleam.
42:02Cheers
42:03to my empire.
42:04Sunlight
