00:00:00You taste like summer peach, sticky hands and softest peach
00:00:09My father bought a pair of twin serpent shifters from a pile of corpses in the underground black market
00:00:14My younger sister chose the older brother at once, the one who had fallen for her at first sight
00:00:20That left only the younger one, the mute brother
00:00:22I knew any shifter who was not chosen would be sent off for humane euthanasia
00:00:27So I took pity on him and kept him
00:00:29He could not speak, so I took him from doctor to doctor, trying to cure his mucis
00:00:36I practiced sign language for two hours every day just so I could communicate with him
00:00:42He was frail, and because he was a serpent shifter, the other bodyguards often picked on him
00:00:48So I secretly trained in combat myself, strengthening my body
00:00:52So I could pay them back one by one on his behalf
00:00:55I thought my sincerity would earn his loyalty, until the day the estate villa caught fire
00:01:00With both my sister and me pinned beneath fallen beams, he looked at us and chose her without hesitation
00:01:08I'm sorry, I have to save Chloe first
00:01:11So he could speak after all, as the flame slowly swallowed me whole, he signed something only I could understand
00:01:19I owe you more than I can repay in this life, and the next I will pay you back with
00:01:23my life
00:01:28When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day we were choosing our shifter bodyguards
00:01:34I stood there in a daze, until I felt blood welling in my palm from how hard I was clenching
00:01:39my hand
00:01:41Only then did I realize this was not a dream
00:01:45My sister shot me a glance, then tugged on father's sleeve with a sugary smile
00:01:50Dad, if Olivia isn't choosing, then let me go first
00:01:58As she spoke, father watched her indulgently while she flitted between the two tall serpent shifters like a cheerful little
00:02:04bird
00:02:05Though they kept the upper bodies of men, their long serpentine tails slid restlessly across the floor
00:02:11And their cold slit pupils shone with caution
00:02:14I think I'll take Adam
00:02:15Olivia is always by herself, so she really needs a strong serpent shifter to protect her
00:02:20She sounded thoughtful and caring, but her eyes never left the older brother, Alex, not for even a second
00:02:25I kept my expression calm, but the scene from my previous life came rushing back
00:02:29She had done the same thing then
00:02:30The one she truly wanted had always been Alex, yet she put on a show of concern and offered to
00:02:35leave him to me
00:02:36What I had not understood then was that her retreat had only ever been a tactic
00:02:39Looking at her performance, I had genuinely believed she meant it, so I refused no matter what
00:02:44I could not bear to let her compromise
00:02:45And I did not want Adam, the younger brother, to be put to death either
00:02:49Until the day of the fire
00:02:54Even then, she was still saying
00:02:56Save my sister first!
00:03:00While reaching for Adam at the first chance she got
00:03:02Even though her own bodyguard, Alex, was right beside her
00:03:06Even though where she stood was far safer than where I was
00:03:09She was always like this
00:03:10Certain I would soften
00:03:11Certain a trick would work
00:03:12She never suffered any real loss
00:03:14Yet somehow still walked away with a glowing reputation
00:03:17But this time, I agreed
00:03:19Whatever Chloe wants
00:03:20My answer was so unexpected that the smile froze on her face
00:03:24She was not the only one shocked
00:03:25Adam jerked his head up and stared at me
00:03:27Surprise flashing through those cold, reptilian-slit pupils
00:03:33No
00:03:33Father said sharply
00:03:35Chloe is the delicate one
00:03:37She's the one who needs the better bodyguard
00:03:40This younger brother can't even talk
00:03:43He doesn't deserve to stay by her side
00:03:46Understanding dawned on me
00:03:48So father had known all along
00:03:50Yet he still brought Adam here
00:03:52Rather than truly letting my sister and me choose
00:03:54This whole thing had only been a performance to make it look fair
00:03:58I'm fine
00:03:59My sister had just started to relax, ready to speak
00:04:02When Adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:04:03Sir, I can speak
00:04:06I could not help glancing at him again
00:04:08In my previous life, Adam had spoken only once before I died
00:04:12And now he was talking already
00:04:14Then I caught the understakeable wariness in his eyes
00:04:17And I knew for certain
00:04:18Adam had been reborn too
00:04:21Watching him fight so hard for this chance
00:04:23Only made his final promise for my last life
00:04:26Seemed even more ridiculous
00:04:27But that was fine
00:04:29I did not want him anymore either
00:04:31Relying on the serpent shifter's natural agility
00:04:34And his constricting strength
00:04:35Adam took down several retired special forces men
00:04:40Standing beside father
00:04:42Even father, who had opposed the idea
00:04:45Began to waver
00:04:46My sister lit up with delight
00:04:48She had always preferred Adam's refined, handsome looks
00:04:52If he had not been mute
00:04:54She would have been her first choice from the very beginning
00:04:59Alright then
00:05:00Adam will stay with Chloe from now on
00:05:02As for Alex
00:05:04He turned to the other brother
00:05:08You'll go with Olivia
00:05:14At father's order
00:05:15A dark look settled over Alex's face
00:05:18His icy snake tail lashed the floor in an irritation
00:05:21Then, gritting his teeth
00:05:23He bent down and melt
00:05:25Sir, please forgive me
00:05:26But I cannot obey
00:05:27What do you mean by that?
00:05:29Father might favor my sister
00:05:31But I was still his daughter
00:05:32For Alex to refuse him in front of everyone
00:05:35Was an open show of disrespect
00:05:37If you refuse to protect my daughter
00:05:40Then you can go straight to the disposal chamber
00:05:43I had known in my previous life
00:05:45That the shifter bodyguard's father bought
00:05:47At enormous cost
00:05:48Would be sent to the disposal chamber
00:05:50For Humana Eutherasia
00:05:52If they were not chosen
00:05:53I could not bear to watch a living person die before my eyes
00:05:56So I had kept Adam by my side
00:05:58This time it was Alex's turn
00:06:00I still said nothing
00:06:02But my sister panicked
00:06:05She rushed forward and grabbed Alex's arm
00:06:07Trying to pull him up from the floor
00:06:10Alex!
00:06:11If you don't go with Olivia
00:06:12You'll die!
00:06:13But Alex only looked at her with naked devotion
00:06:15And shook his head firmly
00:06:17If I cannot protect Chloe
00:06:18Then death means nothing to me
00:06:19At that
00:06:21A blush rose across my sister's face
00:06:24I could not help laughing
00:06:26Olivia, can you really just stand there
00:06:28And watch him die?
00:06:29Tears shimmered in my sister's eyes
00:06:30As she turned to face me
00:06:32From the brother's angle
00:06:33She looked heartbreakingly fragile
00:06:35Dad, if Alex is this loyal to Chloe
00:06:37Then let both brothers stay with her
00:06:39I spoke up at just the right moment
00:06:43One more won't make a difference
00:06:45And neither will two
00:06:48That landed exactly where it needed to
00:06:51From the moment the two serpent shifters had appeared
00:06:53Her eyes had never once left them
00:06:55Father fell silent for a moment
00:06:57Thinking it over
00:07:00Olivia, then what about you?
00:07:02It's okay, dad
00:07:03I'm the older sister
00:07:05Of course I should give in to Chloe
00:07:07Everyone turned to look at me
00:07:09I only lowered my head
00:07:10And did my best to look considerate and understanding
00:07:13Father smiled
00:07:14Olivia's finally grown up
00:07:16But how will your safety be protected?
00:07:18I lifted my head
00:07:19And saw the approval
00:07:20Written plainly across father's face
00:07:23I also caught the note of scrutiny
00:07:25In Adam's eyes
00:07:26But I had no interest in guessing
00:07:28What he was thinking
00:07:29And even less in caring
00:07:32Send me to work at my brother's company, dad
00:07:36I'll take care of myself
00:07:37In my previous life
00:07:38I had poured everything
00:07:39Into holding on to Adam
00:07:41In the process
00:07:42I forgot to secure my footing
00:07:44Within this family
00:07:45There were three children in the house
00:07:47And I was the middle one
00:07:50I was not like my older brother
00:07:53Burdened with father's expectations
00:07:54And I was not like my younger sister
00:07:58Doled on as the baby of the family
00:08:00When I was seven
00:08:01I was sent away to a remote country villa
00:08:04And left to fend for myself
00:08:06I had only been brought back two years ago
00:08:10My brother was ruthless in business
00:08:12Every time he returned from a trip
00:08:14He brought Chloe designer handbags
00:08:17And limited edition jewelry
00:08:18Even the lifestyle assistant at her side
00:08:21Lived better than I did
00:08:22In my previous life
00:08:24I had to save up from my meager allowance
00:08:26Just to pay Adam's medical bills
00:08:29So if I wanted to improve my standing
00:08:32I had to prove my value
00:08:36My brother had never cared much
00:08:38For the unwanted sister of the family
00:08:43He did not meet with me personally
00:08:45He merely had the HR director
00:08:47Assign me to the logistics department
00:08:49Then ignored me after that
00:08:51I said nothing
00:08:52And quietly focused on my work
00:08:54I had not forgotten the business knowledge
00:08:56I learned in my previous life
00:08:58If anything
00:08:59I had become even better
00:09:01When the company became locked
00:09:03In a fierce acquisition battle
00:09:04With a rival
00:09:06I used sharp data analysis
00:09:08And negotiation tactics
00:09:10To secure the key project
00:09:11In one move
00:09:13Only then
00:09:14Did my brother formally met with me
00:09:16As a reward
00:09:17He transferred me
00:09:18Into the core business division
00:09:19The company needed capable people
00:09:21And on top of that
00:09:23I was family
00:09:23That made me someone
00:09:25He could trust
00:09:25Because of that
00:09:27I also came to know
00:09:28Many of the group's inner secrets
00:09:30After I secured
00:09:31Another major order
00:09:32My brother openly praised
00:09:34My contribution
00:09:35At the board meeting
00:09:36Almost overnight
00:09:37My name spread
00:09:38Through our social cluster
00:09:39I even outshined my sister
00:09:41Who had worked so hard
00:09:42To build her image
00:09:43As a perfect socialist
00:09:44The day I returned
00:09:46To the estate villa
00:09:48She stormed into my room
00:09:50Behind her stood
00:09:51The twin serpent shifter bodyguards
00:09:53Flanking her on either side
00:09:55In a protective stance
00:09:56At a single look from her
00:09:58Adam's snake body
00:09:59Snapped toward me like a whip
00:10:00I never saw it coming
00:10:02The blow hit me hard
00:10:03And sent me crashing to the floor
00:10:05My sister curled her red lips
00:10:07Into a cruel smile
00:10:08Olivia
00:10:08Let me teach you
00:10:10How a real heiress
00:10:11Is supposed to act
00:10:18My father bought a pair
00:10:19Of twin serpent shifters
00:10:20From a pile of corpses
00:10:22In the underground black market
00:10:23My younger sister
00:10:25Chose the older brother at once
00:10:26The one who had fallen
00:10:28For her at first sight
00:10:29That left only the younger one
00:10:30The mute brother
00:10:31I knew any shifter
00:10:33Who was not chosen
00:10:34Would be sent off
00:10:35For humane euthanasia
00:10:36So I took pity on him
00:10:37And kept him
00:10:39He could not speak
00:10:40So I took him
00:10:41From doctor to doctor
00:10:42Trying to cure his mucis
00:10:45I practiced sign language
00:10:47For two hours every day
00:10:48Just so I could
00:10:49Communicate with him
00:10:51He was frail
00:10:52And because he was
00:10:53A serpent shifter
00:10:54The other bodyguards
00:10:56Often picked on him
00:10:57So I secretly trained
00:10:59In combat myself
00:11:00Strengthening my body
00:11:01So I could pay them back
00:11:03One by one
00:11:04On his behalf
00:11:05I thought my sincerity
00:11:06Would earn his loyalty
00:11:07Until the day
00:11:08The estate villa
00:11:09Caught fire
00:11:09With both my sister
00:11:11And me pinned
00:11:11Beneath fallen beams
00:11:13He looked at us
00:11:14And chose her
00:11:15Without hesitation
00:11:17I'm sorry
00:11:17I have to save Chloe first
00:11:20So he could speak after all
00:11:21As the flame
00:11:22Slowly swallowed me whole
00:11:24He signed something
00:11:25Only I could understand
00:11:29I owe you more
00:11:29Than I can repay
00:11:30In this life
00:11:31And the next
00:11:32I will pay you back
00:11:32With my life
00:11:37When I opened my eyes again
00:11:39I was back to the day
00:11:40We were choosing
00:11:41Our shifter bodyguards
00:11:43I stood there in a daze
00:11:45Until I felt blood
00:11:46Welling in my palm
00:11:47From how hard
00:11:48I was clenching my hand
00:11:50Only then did I realize
00:11:51This was not a dream
00:11:54My sister shot me a glance
00:11:56Then tugged on father's sleeve
00:11:58With a sugary smile

00:12:00If Olivia isn't choosing

00:12:07As she spoke
00:12:08Father watched her indulgently
00:12:09While she flitted
00:12:10Between the two tall
00:12:11Serpent shifters
00:12:12Like a cheerful little bird

00:12:15The upper bodies of men
00:12:16Their long serpentine tails
00:12:18Slid restlessly across the floor
00:12:20And their cold slit pupils
00:12:21Shone with caution
00:12:23I think I'll take Adam
00:12:25Olivia is always by herself
00:12:26So she really needs
00:12:27A strong serpent shifter
00:12:28To protect her
00:12:29She sounded thoughtful
00:12:30And caring
00:12:30But her eyes never left
00:12:32The older brother Alex
00:12:33Not for even a second
00:12:34I kept my expression calm
00:12:35But the scene from my previous life
00:12:37Came rushing back

00:12:57To be put to death either

00:13:03Even then
00:13:04She was still saying

00:13:38Those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:13:42No
00:13:42Father said sharply
00:13:45Chloe is the delicate one
00:13:47She's the one who needs
00:13:48The better bodyguard
00:13:49This younger brother
00:13:50Can't even talk
00:13:52He doesn't deserve
00:13:53To stay by her side
00:13:55Understanding dawned on me
00:13:58So father had known all along

00:14:04This whole thing had only been
00:14:05A performance to make it look fair
00:14:07I'm fine
00:14:08My sister had just started to relax
00:14:10Ready to speak
00:14:11When Adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:14:13Sir
00:14:14I can speak
00:14:15I could not help glancing at him again

00:14:19Adam had spoken only once
00:14:20Before I died

00:15:01If he had not been mute
00:15:03She would have been her first choice
00:15:04From the very beginning
00:15:09All right then
00:15:09Adam will stay with Chloe
00:15:11From now on
00:15:12As for Alex
00:15:13He turned to the other brother
00:15:18You'll go with Olivia
00:15:23At father's order
00:15:25A dark look settled over Alex's face
00:15:27His icy snake tail lashed the floor
00:15:29In an irritation
00:15:30Then
00:15:31Ritting his teeth
00:15:32He bent down and melt
00:15:34Sir please forgive me
00:15:35But I cannot obey
00:15:36What do you mean by that?
00:15:38Father might favor my sister
00:15:40But I was still his daughter
00:15:41For Alex to refuse him
00:15:43In front of everyone
00:15:44Was an open show of disrespect
00:15:46If you refuse to protect my daughter
00:15:49Then you can go straight
00:15:51To the disposal chamber
00:15:52I had known in my previous life
00:15:54That the shifter bodyguard's
00:15:56Father bought at enormous cost
00:15:57Would be sent to the disposal chamber
00:15:59For Humana Eutherasia
00:16:01If they were not chosen
00:16:02I could not bear to watch
00:16:03A living person die before my eyes
00:16:05So I had kept Adam by my side
00:16:07This time it was Alex's turn
00:16:09I still said nothing
00:16:11But my sister panicked
00:16:14She rushed forward
00:16:15And grabbed Alex's arm
00:16:16Trying to pull him up
00:16:17From the floor
00:16:19Alex
00:16:19If you don't go with Olivia
00:16:21You'll die
00:16:22But Alex only looked at her
00:16:24With naked devotion
00:16:24And shook his head firmly
00:16:26If I cannot protect Chloe
00:16:27Then death means nothing to me
00:16:28At that
00:16:30A blush rose across
00:16:32My sister's face
00:16:33I could not help laughing
00:16:35Olivia can you really just
00:16:37Stand there and watch him die?
00:16:38Tears shimmered in my sister's eyes
00:16:40As she turned to face me
00:16:41From the brother's angle
00:16:42She looked heartbreakingly fragile
00:16:44Dad, if Alex is this loyal to Chloe
00:16:46Then let both brothers stay with her
00:16:48I spoke up at just the right moment
00:16:52One more won't make a difference
00:16:54And neither will two
00:16:57That landed exactly where it needed to
00:17:00From the moment the two serpent shifters had appeared
00:17:02Her eyes had never once left them
00:17:04Father fell silent for a moment
00:17:06Thinking it over
00:17:09Olivia, then what about you?
00:17:11It's okay, Dad
00:17:12I'm the older sister
00:17:14Of course I should give in to Chloe
00:17:16Everyone turned to look at me
00:17:18I only lowered my head
00:17:19And did my best to look considerate
00:17:21And understanding
00:17:22Father smiled
00:17:23Olivia's finally grown up
00:17:25But how will your safety be protected?
00:17:27I lifted my head
00:17:28And saw the approval
00:17:29Written plainly across father's face
00:17:31I also caught the note of scrutiny
00:17:34In Adam's eyes
00:17:35But I had no interest in guessing what he was thinking
00:17:38And even less in caring
00:17:41Send me to work at my brother's company, Dad
00:17:45I'll take care of myself
00:17:46In my previous life
00:17:47I had poured everything into holding on to Adam
00:17:50In the process
00:17:51I forgot to secure my footing
00:17:53Within this family
00:17:54There were three children in the house
00:17:56And I was the middle one
00:17:59I was not like my older brother
00:18:02Burdened with father's expectations
00:18:04And I was not like my younger sister
00:18:06Doled on as the baby of the family
00:18:09When I was seven
00:18:10I was sent away to a remote country villa
00:18:13And left to fend for myself
00:18:16I had only been brought back two years ago
00:18:19My brother was ruthless in business
00:18:21Every time he returned from a trip
00:18:23He brought Chloe designer handbags
00:18:26And limited edition jewelry
00:18:27Even the lifestyle assistant at her side
00:18:30Lived better than I did
00:18:32In my previous life
00:18:33I had to save up from my meager allowance
00:18:35Just to pay Adam's medical bills
00:18:39So if I wanted to improve my standing
00:18:41I had to prove my value
00:18:45My brother had never cared much
00:18:47For the unwanted sister of the family
00:18:52He did not meet with me personally
00:18:54He merely had the HR director
00:18:56Assign me to the logistics department
00:18:58Then ignored me after that
00:19:00I said nothing
00:19:01And quietly focused on my work
00:19:03I had not forgotten the business knowledge
00:19:05I learned in my previous life
00:19:07If anything
00:19:08I had become even better
00:19:10When the company became locked
00:19:12In a fierce acquisition battle
00:19:14With a rival
00:19:14I used sharp data analysis
00:19:17And negotiation tactics
00:19:19To secure the key project
00:19:21In one move
00:19:22Only then
00:19:23Had my brother formally met with me
00:19:25As a reward
00:19:26He transferred me into the core business division
00:19:28The company needed capable people
00:19:31And on top of that
00:19:32I was family
00:19:33That made me someone he could trust
00:19:35Because of that
00:19:36I also came to know
00:19:37Many of the group's inner secrets
00:19:39After I secured another major order
00:19:41My brother openly praised
00:19:43My contribution at the board meeting
00:19:45Almost overnight
00:19:46My name spread through our social cluster
00:19:48I even outshined my sister
00:19:50Who had worked so hard
00:19:51To build her image
00:19:52As a perfect socialist
00:19:53The day I returned to the estate villa
00:19:58She stormed into my room
00:19:59Behind her stood the twin serpent shifter bodyguards
00:20:03Flanking her on either side
00:20:04In a protective stance
00:20:05At a single look from her
00:20:07Adam's snake body snapped toward me like a whip
00:20:10I never saw it coming
00:20:11The blow hit me hard
00:20:13And sent me crashing to the floor
00:20:14My sister curled her red lips
00:20:16Into a cruel smile
00:20:17Olivia
00:20:17Let me teach you how a real heiress
00:20:20Is supposed to act
00:20:32My father bought a pair of twin serpent shifters
00:20:35From a pile of corpses
00:20:36In the underground black market
00:20:37My younger sister chose the older brother at once
00:20:41The one who had fallen for her at first sight
00:20:43That left only the younger one
00:20:45The mute brother
00:20:46I knew any shifter who was not chosen
00:20:48Would be sent off for humane euthanasia
00:20:50So I took pity on him and kept him
00:20:53He could not speak
00:20:54So I took him from doctor to doctor
00:20:56Trying to cure his muses
00:21:00I practiced sign language for two hours every day
00:21:03Just so I could communicate with him
00:21:05He was frail
00:21:06And because he was a serpent shifter
00:21:09The other bodyguards often picked on him
00:21:11So I secretly trained in combat myself
00:21:14Strengthening my body
00:21:15So I could pay them back one by one on his behalf
00:21:19I thought my sincerity would earn his loyalty
00:21:21Until the day the estate villa caught fire
00:21:23With both my sister and me pinned beneath fallen beams
00:21:27He looked at us and chose her without hesitation
00:21:31I'm sorry
00:21:32I have to save Chloe first
00:21:34So he could speak after all
00:21:36As the flame slowly swallowed me whole
00:21:38He signed something only I could understand
00:21:43I owe you more than I can repay in this life
00:21:45And the next I will pay you back with my life
00:21:51When I opened my eyes again
00:21:53I was back to the day we were choosing our shifter bodyguards
00:21:56I stood there in a daze
00:21:59Until I felt blood welling in my palm
00:22:01From how hard I was clenching my hand
00:22:04Only then did I realize this was not a dream
00:22:08My sister shot me a glance
00:22:10Then tugged on father's sleeve with a sugary smile
00:22:13Dad, if Olivia isn't choosing
00:22:16Then let me go first
00:22:21As she spoke
00:22:22Father watched her indulgently
00:22:23While she flitted between the two tall serpent shifters
00:22:26Like a cheerful little bird
00:22:28Though they kept the upper bodies of men
00:22:30Their long serpentine tails slid restlessly across the floor
00:22:34And their cold slit pupils shone with caution
00:22:37I think I'll take Adam
00:22:39Olivia is always by herself
00:22:40So she really needs a strong serpent shifter to protect her
00:22:43She sounded thoughtful and caring
00:22:45But her eyes never left the older brother Alex
00:22:47Not for even a second
00:22:48I kept my expression calm
00:22:50But the scene from my previous life came rushing back
00:22:52She had done the same thing then
00:22:54The one she truly wanted had always been Alex
00:22:56Yet she put on a show of concern
00:22:57And offered to leave him to me
00:22:59What I had not understood then
00:23:01Was that her retreat had only ever been a tactic
00:23:03Looking at her performance
00:23:04I had genuinely believed she meant it
00:23:06So I refused no matter what
00:23:07I could not bear to let her compromise
00:23:09And I did not want Adam
00:23:10The younger brother
00:23:11To be put to death either
00:23:12Until the day of the fire
00:23:18Even then
00:23:18She was still saying
00:23:20Save my sister first
00:23:23While reaching for Adam
00:23:24At the first chance she got
00:23:26Even though her own bodyguard Alex
00:23:28Was right beside her
00:23:29Even though where she stood
00:23:30Was far safely than where I was
00:23:32She was always like this
00:23:33Certain I would soften
00:23:34Certain a trick would work
00:23:36She never suffered any real loss
00:23:38Yet somehow still walked away
00:23:39With a glowing reputation
00:23:40But this time
00:23:41I agreed
00:23:42Whatever Chloe wants
00:23:43My answer was so unexpected
00:23:45That the smile froze on her face
00:23:47She was not the only one shocked
00:23:49Adam jerked his head up
00:23:50And stared at me
00:23:51Surprise flashing through
00:23:52Those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:23:56No
00:23:57Father said sharply
00:23:59Chloe is the delicate one
00:24:01She's the one who needs
00:24:02The better bodyguard
00:24:03This younger brother
00:24:05Can't even talk
00:24:06He doesn't deserve
00:24:08To stay by her side
00:24:09Understanding dawned on me
00:24:12So father had known all along
00:24:14Yet he still brought Adam here
00:24:15Rather than truly letting
00:24:17My sister and me choose
00:24:18This whole thing had only been
00:24:19A performance to make it look fair
00:24:21I'm fine
00:24:22My sister had just started to relax
00:24:24Ready to speak
00:24:25When Adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:24:27Sir
00:24:28I can speak
00:24:29I could not help glancing at him again
00:24:31In my previous life
00:24:33Adam had spoken only once
00:24:34Before I died
00:24:35And now he was talking already
00:24:37Then I caught the
00:24:39Understakeable wariness in his eyes
00:24:40And I knew for certain
00:24:42Adam had been reborn too
00:24:45Watching him fight so hard
00:24:46For this chance
00:24:47Only made his final promise
00:24:48For my last life
00:24:49Seemed even more ridiculous
00:24:50But that was fine
00:24:52I did not want him anymore either
00:24:54Relying on the serpent shifter's
00:24:57Natural agility
00:24:57And his constricting strength
00:24:59Adam took down several
00:25:00Retired special forces men
00:25:04Standing beside father
00:25:05Even father
00:25:07Who had opposed the idea
00:25:08Began to waver
00:25:10My sister lit up with delight
00:25:12She had always preferred
00:25:13Adam's refined handsome looks
00:25:15If he had not been mute
00:25:17She would have been her first choice
00:25:18From the very beginning
00:25:23All right then
00:25:24Adam will stay with Chloe
00:25:25From now on
00:25:26As for Alex
00:25:27He turned to the other brother
00:25:32You'll go with Olivia
00:25:37At father's order
00:25:39A dark look settled over Alex's face
00:25:41His icy snake tail
00:25:42Lashed the floor in an irritation
00:25:44Then
00:25:45Gritting his teeth
00:25:46He bent down and melt
00:25:48Sir please forgive me
00:25:50But I cannot obey
00:25:51What do you mean by that?
00:25:53Father might favor my sister
00:25:54But I was still his daughter

00:26:52Tears shimmered in my sister's eyes

00:26:55From the brother's angle

00:30:27And sent me crashing to the floor
00:30:28My sister curled her red lips
00:30:30Into a cruel smile
00:30:31Olivia
00:30:32Let me teach you
00:30:33How a real heiress
00:30:34Is supposed to act
00:30:41My father bought a pair
00:30:43Of twin serpent shifters
00:30:44From a pile of corpses
00:30:45In the underground black market
00:30:47My younger sister
00:30:48Chose the older brother at once
00:30:50The one who had fallen
00:30:51For her at first sight
00:30:52That left only the younger one
00:30:54The mute brother
00:30:55I knew any shifter
00:30:56Who was not chosen
00:30:57Would be sent off
00:30:58For humane euthanasia
00:30:59So I took pity on him
00:31:00And kept him
00:31:02He could not speak
00:31:03So I took him
00:31:04From doctor to doctor
00:31:05Trying to cure his mucis
00:31:09I practiced sign language
00:31:10For two hours every day
00:31:12Just so I could
00:31:12Communicate with him
00:31:14He was frail
00:31:15And because he was
00:31:17A serpent shifter
00:31:18The other bodyguards
00:31:19Often picked on him
00:31:20So I secretly trained
00:31:22In combat myself
00:31:23Strengthening my body
00:31:25So I could pay them back
00:31:26One by one
00:31:27On his behalf
00:31:28I thought my sincerity
00:31:29Would earn his loyalty
00:31:30Until the day
00:31:31The estate villa caught fire
00:31:33With both my sister
00:31:34And me pinned beneath
00:31:35Fallen beams
00:31:36He looked at us
00:31:37And chose her
00:31:38Without hesitation
00:31:40I'm sorry
00:31:41I have to save Chloe first
00:31:43So he could speak after all
00:31:45As the flame
00:31:46Slowly swallowed me whole
00:31:47He signed something
00:31:49Only I could understand
00:31:52I owe you more
00:31:53Than I can repay
00:31:53In this life
00:31:54And the next
00:31:55I will pay you back
00:31:56With my life
00:32:01When I opened my eyes again
00:32:02I was back to the day
00:32:04We were choosing
00:32:04Our shifter bodyguards
00:32:06I stood there in a daze
00:32:08Until I felt blood
00:32:09Welling in my palm
00:32:10From how hard
00:32:11I was clenching my hand
00:32:13Only then did I realize
00:32:15This was not a dream
00:32:18My sister shot me a glance
00:32:20Then tugged on father's sleeve
00:32:21With a sugary smile
00:32:23Dad
00:32:23If Olivia isn't choosing
00:32:26Then let me go first
00:32:30As she spoke
00:32:31Father watched her indulgently
00:32:33While she flitted
00:32:33Between the two tall
00:32:34Serpent shifters
00:32:35Like a cheerful little bird
00:32:37Though they kept
00:32:38The upper bodies of men
00:32:39Their long serpentine tails
00:32:41Slid restlessly
00:32:42Across the floor
00:32:43And their cold
00:32:44Slit pupils
00:32:45Shown with caution
00:32:47I think I'll take Adam
00:32:48Olivia is always by herself
00:32:50So she really needs
00:32:50A strong serpent shifter
00:32:51To protect her
00:32:52She sounded thoughtful
00:32:53And caring
00:32:54But her eyes never left
00:32:55The older brother Alex
00:32:56Not for even a second
00:32:57I kept my expression calm
00:32:59But the scene from my previous life
00:33:01Came rushing back
00:33:01She had done the same thing then
00:33:03The one she truly wanted
00:33:04Had always been Alex
00:33:05Yet she put on a show of concern
00:33:07And offered to leave him to me
00:33:08What I had not understood then
00:33:10Was that her retreat
00:33:11Had only ever been a tactic
00:33:12Looking at her performance
00:33:13I had genuinely believed
00:33:14She meant it
00:33:15So I refused no matter what
00:33:16I could not bear
00:33:17To let her compromise
00:33:18And I did not want Adam
00:33:19The younger brother
00:33:20To be put to death either
00:33:21Until the day of the fire
00:33:27Even then
00:33:28She was still saying
00:33:29Save my sister first
00:33:32While reaching for Adam
00:33:33At the first chance she got
00:33:35Even though her own bodyguard
00:33:37Alex was right beside her
00:33:38Even though where she stood
00:33:40Was far safer than where I was
00:33:41She was always like this
00:33:42Certain I would soften
00:33:44Certain the trick would work
00:33:45She never suffered any real loss
00:33:47Yet somehow still walked away
00:33:48With a glowing reputation
00:33:50But this time I agreed
00:33:51Whatever Chloe wants
00:33:52My answer was so unexpected
00:33:54That the smile froze on her face
00:33:56She was not the only one shocked
00:33:58Adam jerked his head up
00:33:59And stared at me
00:34:00Surprise flashing through
00:34:01Those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:34:05No
00:34:06Father said sharply
00:34:08Chloe is the delicate one
00:34:10She's the one who needs
00:34:11The better bodyguard
00:34:12This younger brother
00:34:14Can't even talk
00:34:16He doesn't deserve
00:34:17To stay by her side
00:34:19Understanding dawned on me
00:34:21So father had known all along
00:34:23Yet he still brought Adam here
00:34:25Rather than truly letting
00:34:26My sister and me choose
00:34:27This whole thing had only been
00:34:28A performance to make it look fair
00:34:30I'm fine
00:34:31My sister had just started to relax
00:34:33Ready to speak
00:34:34When Adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:34:36Sir
00:34:37I can speak
00:34:38I could not help glancing at him again
00:34:40In my previous life
00:34:42Adam had spoken only once
00:34:44Before I died
00:34:44And now he was talking already
00:34:47Then I caught the understakable
00:34:48Wariness in his eyes
00:34:50And I knew for certain
00:34:51Adam had been reborn too
00:34:54Watching him fight so hard
00:34:55For this chance
00:34:56Only made his final promise
00:34:57For my last life
00:34:58Seemed even more ridiculous
00:35:00But that was fine
00:35:01I did not want him anymore either
00:35:04Relying on the serpent shifter's
00:35:06Natural agility
00:35:07And his constricting strength
00:35:08Adam took down
00:35:09Several retired special forces men
00:35:13Standing beside father
00:35:14Even father
00:35:16Who had opposed the idea
00:35:17Began to waver
00:35:19My sister lit up with delight
00:35:21She had always preferred
00:35:23Adam's refined handsome looks
00:35:24If he had not been mute
00:35:26She would have been her first choice
00:35:28From the very beginning
00:35:32Alright then
00:35:33Adam will stay with Chloe
00:35:34From now on
00:35:35As for Alex
00:35:36He turned to the other brother
00:35:41You'll go with Olivia
00:35:47At father's order
00:35:48A dark look settled over Alex's face
00:35:50His icy snake tail
00:35:52Lashed the floor in an irritation
00:35:53Then
00:35:54Ritting his teeth
00:35:55He bent down and melt
00:35:57Sir please forgive me
00:35:59But I cannot obey
00:36:00What do you mean by that?
00:36:02Father might favor my sister
00:36:03But I was still his daughter
00:36:05For Alex to refuse him
00:36:07In front of everyone
00:36:07Was an open show of disrespect
00:36:10If you refuse to protect my daughter
00:36:13Then you can go straight
00:36:14To the disposal chamber
00:36:16I had known in my previous life
00:36:17That the shifter bodyguard's
00:36:19Father bought
00:36:20At enormous cost
00:36:21Would be sent to the disposal chamber
00:36:23For Humana Eutherasia
00:36:24If they were not chosen
00:36:25I could not bear to watch
00:36:27A living person die
00:36:28Before my eyes
00:36:29So I had kept Adam by my side
00:36:31This time it was Alex's turn
00:36:33I still said nothing
00:36:34But my sister panicked
00:36:37She rushed forward
00:36:38And grabbed Alex's arm
00:36:40Trying to pull him up
00:36:41From the floor
00:36:42Alex
00:36:43If you don't go with Olivia
00:36:45You'll die
00:36:45But Alex only looked at her
00:36:47With naked devotion
00:36:48And shook his head firmly
00:36:49If I cannot protect Chloe
00:36:51Then death means nothing to me
00:36:52At that
00:36:53A blush rose across
00:36:55My sister's face
00:36:57I could not help laughing
00:36:58Olivia can you really
00:37:00Just stand there
00:37:00And watch him die
00:37:01Tears shimmered
00:37:02In my sister's eyes
00:37:03As she turned to face me
00:37:04From the brother's angle
00:37:06She looked heartbreakingly fragile
00:37:07Dad, if Alex is this loyal to Chloe
00:37:10Then let both brothers stay with her
00:37:11I spoke up at just the right moment
00:37:15One more won't make a difference
00:37:17And neither will two
00:37:21That landed exactly where it needed to
00:37:23From the moment the two serpent shifters had appeared
00:37:26Her eyes had never once left them
00:37:28Father fell silent for a moment
00:37:30Thinking it over
00:37:32Olivia, then what about you?
00:37:34It's okay, dad
00:37:35I'm the older sister
00:37:37Of course I should give in to Chloe
00:37:39Everyone turned to look at me
00:37:41I only lowered my head
00:37:43And did my best to look considerate
00:37:45And understanding
00:37:45Father smiled
00:37:46Olivia's finally grown up
00:37:48But how will your safety be protected?
00:37:50I lifted my head
00:37:51And saw the approval
00:37:53Written plainly across father's face
00:37:55I also caught the note of scrutiny
00:37:57In Adam's eyes
00:37:58But I had no interest in guessing
00:38:00What he was thinking
00:38:01And even less in caring
00:38:04Send me to work at my brother's company, dad
00:38:08I'll take care of myself
00:38:09In my previous life
00:38:11I had poured everything into holding on to Adam
00:38:14In the process
00:38:15I forgot to secure my footing
00:38:16Within this family
00:38:17There were three children in the house
00:38:20And I was the middle one
00:38:22I was not like my older brother
00:38:25Burdened with father's expectations
00:38:27And I was not like my younger sister
00:38:30Doled on as the baby of the family
00:38:32When I was seven
00:38:34I was sent away to a remote country villa
00:38:36And left to fend for myself
00:38:38I had only been brought back two years ago
00:38:42My brother was ruthless in business
00:38:45Every time he returned from a trip
00:38:47He brought Chloe designer handbags
00:38:49And limited edition jewelry
00:38:51Even the lifestyle assistant at her side
00:38:54Lived better than I did
00:38:55In my previous life
00:38:56I had to save up from my meager allowance
00:38:59Just to pay Adam's medical bills
00:39:02So if I wanted to improve my standing
00:39:04I had to prove my value
00:39:09My brother had never cared much
00:39:11For the unwanted sister of the family
00:39:15He did not meet with me personally
00:39:17He merely had the HR director
00:39:19Assign me to the logistics department
00:39:21Then ignored me after that
00:39:23I said nothing
00:39:25And quietly focused on my work
00:39:27I had not forgotten the business knowledge
00:39:29I learned in my previous life
00:39:30If anything
00:39:31I had become even better
00:39:33When the company became locked
00:39:35In a fierce acquisition battle
00:39:37With a rival
00:39:38I used sharp data analysis
00:39:41And negotiation tactics
00:39:42To secure the key project
00:39:44In one move
00:39:46Only then
00:39:47Had my brother formally met with me
00:39:48As a reward
00:39:49He transferred me
00:39:50Into the core business division
00:39:52The company needed capable people
00:39:54And on top of that
00:39:55I was family
00:39:56That made me someone
00:39:57He could trust
00:39:58Because of that
00:39:59I also came to know
00:40:01Many of the group's inner secrets
00:40:02After I secured
00:40:04Another major order
00:40:05My brother openly praised
00:40:06My contribution
00:40:07At the board meeting
00:40:08Almost overnight
00:40:10My name spread
00:40:10Through our social cluster
00:40:12I even outshined my sister
00:40:13Who had worked so hard
00:40:15To build her image
00:40:15As a perfect socialist
00:40:17The day I returned
00:40:18To the estate villa
00:40:21She stormed into my room
00:40:22Behind her
00:40:23Stood the twin serpent shifter
00:40:25Bodyguards
00:40:26Flanking her on either side
00:40:28In a protective stance
00:40:29At a single look from her
00:40:31Adam's snake body
00:40:32Snapped toward me like a whip
00:40:33I never saw it coming
00:40:35The blow hit me hard
00:40:36And sent me crashing
00:40:37To the floor
00:40:37My sister curled her red lips
00:40:39Into a cruel smile
00:40:40Olivia
00:40:41Let me teach you
00:40:42How a real heiress
00:40:43Is supposed to act
00:40:55My father bought a pair
00:40:57Of twin serpent shifters
00:40:58From a pile of corpses
00:40:59In the underground black market
00:41:01My younger sister

00:41:23I practiced sign language
00:41:24For two hours every day

00:41:27With him

00:42:16I was back to the day
00:42:18We were choosing our shifter bodyguards
00:42:21I stood there in a daze
00:42:22Until I felt blood welling in my palm
00:42:24From how hard I was clenching my hand
00:42:27Only then did I realize
00:42:29This was not a dream

00:42:59Shone with caution
00:43:01I think I'll take Adam

00:44:10She was not the only one shocked
00:44:12Adam jerked his head up
00:44:13And stared at me
00:44:14Surprise flashing through
00:44:15Those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:44:19No
00:44:20Father said sharply
00:44:22Chloe is the delicate one
00:44:24She's the one who needs
00:44:25The better bodyguard
00:44:26This younger brother
00:44:28Can't even talk
00:44:30He doesn't deserve
00:44:31To stay by her side
00:44:32Understanding dawned on me
00:44:35So father had known all along
00:44:37Yet he still brought Adam here
00:44:39Rather than truly letting
00:44:40My sister and me choose
00:44:41This whole thing had only been
00:44:42A performance to make it look fair
00:44:44I'm fine
00:44:45My sister had just started to relax
00:44:47Ready to speak
00:44:48When Adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:44:50Sir
00:44:51I can speak
00:44:52I could not help glancing at him again
00:44:55In my previous life
00:44:56Adam had spoken only once
00:44:58Before I died
00:44:59And now he was talking already
00:45:01Then I caught the understakable
00:45:03Wariness in his eyes
00:45:04And I knew for certain
00:45:05Adam had been reborn too
00:45:08Watching him fight so hard
00:45:09For this chance
00:45:10Only made his final promise
00:45:11For my last life
00:45:12Seemed even more ridiculous
00:45:14But that was fine
00:45:16I did not want him
00:45:17Anymore either
00:45:18Relying on the serpent shifter's
00:45:20Natural agility
00:45:21And his constricting strength
00:45:22Adam took down several
00:45:24Retired special forces men
00:45:27Standing beside father
00:45:28Even father
00:45:30Who had opposed the idea
00:45:32Began to waver
00:45:33My sister lit up with delight
00:45:35She had always preferred
00:45:37Adam's refined
00:45:38Handsome looks
00:45:39If he had not been mute
00:45:40She would have been her first choice
00:45:42From the very beginning
00:45:46All right then
00:45:47Adam will stay with Chloe
00:45:48From now on
00:45:49As for Alex
00:45:50He turned to the other brother
00:45:55You'll go with Olivia
00:46:01At father's order
00:46:02A dark look settled over Alex's face
00:46:04His icy snake tail
00:46:06Lashed the floor in an irritation
00:46:07Then
00:46:08Ritting his teeth
00:46:09He bent down and melt
00:46:11Sir please forgive me
00:46:13But I cannot obey
00:46:14What do you mean by that?
00:46:16Father might favor my sister
00:46:17But I was still his daughter
00:46:19For Alex to refuse him
00:46:21In front of everyone
00:46:22Was an open show of disrespect
00:46:24If you refuse to protect my daughter
00:46:27Then you can go straight
00:46:28To the disposal chamber
00:46:30I had known in my previous life
00:46:32That the shifter bodyguard's
00:46:33Father bought at enormous cost
00:46:35Would be sent to the disposal chamber
00:46:37For Humana Eutherasia
00:46:38If they were not chosen
00:46:40I could not bear to watch
00:46:41A living person die before my eyes
00:46:43So I had kept Adam by my side
00:46:45This time it was Alex's turn
00:46:47I still said nothing
00:46:49But my sister panicked
00:46:51She rushed forward
00:46:52And grabbed Alex's arm
00:46:54Trying to pull him up from the floor
00:46:56Alex
00:46:57If you don't go with Olivia
00:46:59You'll die
00:47:00But Alex only looked at her
00:47:01With naked devotion
00:47:02And shook his head firmly
00:47:03If I cannot protect Chloe
00:47:05Then death means nothing to me
00:47:06At that
00:47:07A blush rose across my sister's face
00:47:11I could not help laughing
00:47:13Olivia can you really just stand there
00:47:15And watch him die?
00:47:15Tears shimmered in my sister's eyes
00:47:17As she turned to face me
00:47:18From the brother's angle
00:47:20She looked heartbreakingly fragile
00:47:22Dad if Alex is this loyal to Chloe
00:47:24Then let both brothers stay with her
00:47:26I spoke up at just the right moment
00:47:30One more won't make a difference
00:47:31And neither will two
00:47:35That landed exactly where it needed to
00:47:37From the moment the two serpent shifters had appeared
00:47:40Her eyes had never once left them
00:47:42Father fell silent for a moment
00:47:44Thinking it over
00:47:47Olivia
00:47:47Then what about you?
00:47:49It's okay dad
00:47:50I'm the older sister
00:47:51Of course I should give in to Chloe
00:47:53Everyone turned to look at me
00:47:55I only lowered my head
00:47:57And did my best to look considerate
00:47:59And understanding
00:48:00Father smiled
00:48:01Olivia's finally grown up
00:48:02But how will your safety be protected?
00:48:05I lifted my head
00:48:06And saw the approval
00:48:07Written plainly across father's face
00:48:09I also caught the note of scrutiny
00:48:11In Adam's eyes
00:48:12But I had no interest in guessing what he was thinking
00:48:15And even less in caring
00:48:18Send me to work at my brother's company dad
00:48:22I'll take care of myself
00:48:23In my previous life
00:48:25I had poured everything into holding on to Adam
00:48:28In the process
00:48:29I forgot to secure my footing
00:48:30Within this family
00:48:31There were three children in the house
00:48:34And I was the middle one
00:48:37I was not like my older brother
00:48:39Burdened with father's expectations
00:48:41And I was not like my younger sister
00:48:44Doled on as the baby of the family
00:48:46When I was seven
00:48:48I was sent away to a remote country villa
00:48:51And left to fend for myself
00:48:52I had only been brought back two years ago
00:48:56My brother was ruthless in business
00:48:59Every time he returned from a trip
00:49:01He brought Chloe designer handbags
00:49:03And limited edition jewelry
00:49:05Even the lifestyle assistant at her side
00:49:08Lived better than I did
00:49:09In my previous life
00:49:10I had to save up from my meager allowance
00:49:13Just to pay Adam's medical bills
00:49:16So if I wanted to improve my standing
00:49:18I had to prove my value
00:49:23My brother had never cared much
00:49:25For the unwanted sister of the family
00:49:29He did not meet with me personally
00:49:31He merely had the HR director
00:49:34Assign me to the logistics department
00:49:36Then ignored me after that
00:49:37I said nothing
00:49:39And quietly focused on my work
00:49:41I had not forgotten the business knowledge
00:49:43I learned in my previous life
00:49:44If anything
00:49:46I had become even better
00:49:47When the company became locked
00:49:50In a fierce acquisition battle
00:49:51With a rival
00:49:52I used sharp data analysis
00:49:55And negotiation tactics
00:49:56To secure the key project
00:49:58In one move
00:50:00Only then
00:50:01Did my brother formally met with me
00:50:02As a reward
00:50:03He transferred me into
00:50:05The core business division
00:50:06The company needed capable people
00:50:08And on top of that
00:50:09I was family
00:50:10That made me someone
00:50:11He could trust
00:50:12Because of that
00:50:14I also came to know
00:50:15Many of the group's inner secrets
00:50:17After I secured
00:50:18Another major order
00:50:19My brother openly praised
00:50:21My contribution
00:50:21At the board meeting
00:50:22Almost overnight
00:50:24My name spread through
00:50:25Our social cluster
00:50:26I even outshined my sister
00:50:27Who had worked so hard
00:50:29To build her image
00:50:30As a perfect socialist
00:50:31The day I returned
00:50:32To the estate villa
00:50:35She stormed into my room
00:50:37Behind her stood
00:50:38The twin serpent shifter bodyguards
00:50:40Flanking her on either side
00:50:42In a protective stance
00:50:43At a single look from her
00:50:45Adam's snake body
00:50:46Snapped toward me like a whip
00:50:47I never saw it coming
00:50:49The blow hit me hard
00:50:50And sent me crashing to the floor
00:50:52My sister curled her red lips
00:50:53Into a cruel smile
00:50:54Olivia
00:50:55Let me teach you
00:50:56How a real heiress
00:50:57Is supposed to act
00:51:04My father bought a pair
00:51:06Of twin serpent shifters
00:51:07From a pile of corpses
00:51:08In the underground black market
00:51:10My younger sister
00:51:11Chose the older brother at once
00:51:13The one who had fallen
00:51:14For her at first sight
00:51:15That left only the younger one
00:51:17The mute brother
00:51:18I knew any shifter
00:51:19Who was not chosen
00:51:20Would be sent off
00:51:21For humane euthanasia
00:51:22So I took pity on him
00:51:24And kept him
00:51:25He could not speak
00:51:26So I took him
00:51:27From doctor to doctor
00:51:29Trying to cure his mucis
00:51:32I practiced sign language
00:51:34For two hours every day
00:51:35Just so I could
00:51:36Communicate with him
00:51:38He was frail
00:51:39And because he was
00:51:40A serpent shifter
00:51:41The other bodyguards
00:51:43Often picked on him
00:51:44So I secretly trained
00:51:45In combat myself
00:51:46Strengthening my body
00:51:48So I could pay them back
00:51:50One by one
00:51:50On his behalf
00:51:51I thought my sincerity
00:51:52Would earn his loyalty
00:51:53Until the day
00:51:55The estate villa caught fire
00:51:56With both my sister
00:51:57And me pinned beneath
00:51:58Fallen beams
00:51:59He looked at us
00:52:00And chose her
00:52:01Without hesitation
00:52:03I'm sorry
00:52:04I have to save Chloe first
00:52:06So he could speak after all
00:52:08As the flame
00:52:09Slowly swallowed me whole
00:52:10He signed something
00:52:12Only I could understand
00:52:15I owe you more
00:52:16Than I can repay
00:52:17In this life
00:52:17In the next
00:52:18I will pay you back
00:52:19With my life
00:52:24When I opened my eyes again
00:52:26I was back to the day
00:52:27We were choosing
00:52:28Our shifter bodyguards
00:52:30I stood there in a daze
00:52:31Until I felt blood
00:52:32Welling in my palm
00:52:33From how hard
00:52:34I was clenching my hand
00:52:37Only then did I realize
00:52:38This was not a dream
00:52:41My sister shot me a glance
00:52:43Then tugged on father's sleeve
00:52:45With a sugary smile
00:52:46Dad
00:52:47If Olivia isn't choosing
00:52:49Then let me go first
00:52:53As she spoke
00:52:54Father watched her
00:52:55Indulgently
00:52:56While she flitted
00:52:57Between the two
00:52:57Tall serpent shifters
00:52:59Like a cheerful
00:53:00Little bird
00:53:00Though they kept
00:53:01The upper bodies
00:53:02Of men
00:53:03Their long
00:53:04Serpentine tails
00:53:05Slid restlessly
00:53:06Across the floor
00:53:06And their cold
00:53:07Slit pupils
00:53:08Shone with caution
00:53:10I think I'll take Adam
00:53:11Olivia is always by herself
00:53:13So she really needs
00:53:14A strong serpent shifter
00:53:15To protect her
00:53:15She sounded thoughtful
00:53:17And caring
00:53:17But her eyes never left
00:53:18The older brother Alex
00:53:19Not for even a second
00:53:21I kept my expression calm
00:53:22But the scene from my previous life
00:53:24Came rushing back
00:53:25She had done the same thing then
00:53:26The one she truly wanted
00:53:27Had always been Alex
00:53:28Yet she put on a show of concern
00:53:30And offered to leave him to me
00:53:31What I had not understood then
00:53:33Was that her retreat
00:53:34Had only ever been a tactic
00:53:35Looking at her performance
00:53:36I had genuinely believed
00:53:38She meant it
00:53:38So I refused no matter what
00:53:40I could not bear
00:53:40To let her compromise
00:53:41And I did not want Adam
00:53:43The younger brother
00:53:43To be put to death either
00:53:45Until the day of the fire
00:53:50Even then
00:53:51She was still saying
00:53:52Save my sister first
00:53:55While reaching for Adam
00:53:57At the first chance she got
00:53:58Even though her own bodyguard
00:54:00Alex was right beside her
00:54:02Even though where she stood
00:54:03Was far safer than where I was
00:54:05She was always like this
00:54:06Certain I would soften
00:54:07Certain the trick would work
00:54:08She never suffered any real loss
00:54:10Yet somehow still walked away
00:54:12With a glowing reputation
00:54:13But this time I agreed
00:54:15Whatever Chloe wants
00:54:16My answer was so unexpected
00:54:17That the smile froze on her face
00:54:19She was not the only one shocked
00:54:21Adam jerked his head up
00:54:22And stared at me
00:54:23Surprise flashing through
00:54:25Those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:54:29No
00:54:29Father said sharply
00:54:31Chloe is the delicate one
00:54:33She's the one who needs
00:54:35The better bodyguard
00:54:36This younger brother
00:54:37Can't even talk

00:54:50This whole thing
00:54:51Had only been a performance
00:54:52To make it look fair
00:54:54I'm fine
00:54:55My sister had just started to relax
00:54:57Ready to speak
00:54:57When Adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:54:59Sir
00:55:00I can speak
00:55:01I could not help glancing at him again

00:55:27Relying on the serpent shifter's
00:55:29Natural agility
00:55:30And his constricting strength
00:55:31Adam took down
00:55:32Several retired special forces men
00:55:36Standing beside father

00:55:48If he had not been mute
00:55:49She would have been her first choice
00:55:51From the very beginning
00:55:55Alright then
00:55:56Adam will stay with Chloe
00:55:57From now on
00:55:59As for Alex
00:56:00He turned to the other brother
00:56:04You'll go with Olivia
00:56:10At father's order
00:56:11A dark look settled over Alex's face
00:56:14His icy snake tail

00:57:23Stand there and watch him die?
00:57:25Tears shimmered in my sister's eyes
00:57:26As she turned to face me
00:57:28From the brother's angle
00:57:29She looked heartbreakingly fragile

00:57:58It's okay, Dad
00:57:59I'm the older sister
00:58:00Of course I should give in to Chloe
00:58:03Everyone turned to look at me
00:58:05I only lowered my head
00:58:06And did my best to look considerate
00:58:08And understanding
00:58:09Father smiled
00:58:10Olivia's finally grown up
00:58:11But how will your safety be protected?
00:58:14I lifted my head
00:58:15And saw the approval
00:58:16Written plainly across Father's face
00:58:18I also caught the note of scrutiny
00:58:20In Adam's eyes
00:58:22But I had no interest in guessing what he was thinking
00:58:24And even less in caring
00:58:28Send me to work at my brother's company, Dad
00:58:31I'll take care of myself
00:58:33In my previous life
00:58:34I had poured everything into holding on to Adam
00:58:37In the process
00:58:38I forgot to secure my footing within this family
00:58:40There were three children in the house
00:58:43And I was the middle one
00:58:46I was not like my older brother
00:58:48Burdened with father's expectations
00:58:50And I was not like my younger sister
00:58:53Doled on as the baby of the family
00:58:55When I was seven
00:58:57I was sent away to a remote country villa
00:59:00And left to fend for myself
00:59:03I had only been brought back two years ago
00:59:06My brother was ruthless in business
00:59:08Every time he returned from a trip
00:59:10He brought Chloe designer handbags
00:59:12And limited edition jewelry
00:59:14Even the lifestyle assistant at her side
00:59:17Lived better than I did
00:59:18In my previous life
00:59:20I had to save up from my meager allowance
00:59:22Just to pay Adam's medical bills
00:59:25So if I wanted to improve my standing
00:59:27I had to prove my value
00:59:32My brother had never cared much
00:59:34For the unwanted sister of the family
00:59:38He did not meet with me personally
00:59:40He merely had the HR director
00:59:43Assign me to the logistics department
00:59:45Then ignored me after that
00:59:46I said nothing
00:59:48And quietly focused on my work
00:59:50I had not forgotten the business knowledge
00:59:52I learned in my previous life
00:59:53If anything
00:59:55I had become even better
00:59:57When the company became locked
00:59:59In a fierce acquisition battle
01:00:00With a rival
01:00:01I used sharp data analysis
01:00:04And negotiation tactics
01:00:05To secure the key project
01:00:07In one move
01:00:09Only then
01:00:10Had my brother formally met with me
01:00:12As a reward
01:00:13He transferred me into
01:00:14The core business division
01:00:15The company needed capable people
01:00:17And on top of that
01:00:19I was family
01:00:19That made me someone
01:00:21He could trust
01:00:21Because of that
01:00:23I also came to know
01:00:24Many of the group's inner secrets
01:00:26After I secured another major order
01:00:28My brother openly praised
01:00:30My contribution
01:00:30At the board meeting
01:00:31Almost overnight
01:00:33My name spread through
01:00:34Our social cluster
01:00:35I even outshined my sister
01:00:36Who had worked so hard
01:00:38To build her image
01:00:39As a perfect socialist
01:00:40The day I returned
01:00:41To the estate villa
01:00:44She stormed into my room
01:00:46Behind her stood
01:00:47The twin serpent shifter bodyguards
01:00:49Flanking her on either side
01:00:51In a protective stance
01:00:52At a single look from her
01:00:54Adam's snake body
01:00:55Snapped toward me like a whip
01:00:56I never saw it coming
01:00:58The blow hit me hard
01:00:59And sent me crashing to the floor
01:01:01My sister curled her red lips
01:01:02Into a cruel smile
01:01:03Olivia
01:01:04Let me teach you
01:01:06How a real heiress
01:01:07Is supposed to act
01:01:10A real heiress
01:01:10A heavy klit
01:01:11The little heiress
01:01:14Will be found
01:01:14Of her
01:01:14Black territorial
