"The girl funded by my parents has been spreading rumors and tarnishing my reputation everywhere. My fiancé, for her sake, has called me a jealous woman. Later, my fiancé became a billionaire CEO thanks to my family's support. The belle covers up the truth and uses public opinion to crush my parents, while my fiancé personally pushed me off a cliff. The moment I opened my eyes, I decided that in this lifetime, I would go wild like a mad dog-whoever comes to bite me, I'll bite back."
Chapter 1
"Why..." I clung desperately to the rocks at the edge of the cliff, while Rhett Lawson looked at me indifferently. "If it weren't for you, Beata and I would have been together long ago. It's all your fault. So you'd better die as your parents did!"
I jolted awake and sat up in bed abruptly. I was drenched in cold sweat.
I instinctively touched my face. I was still alive.
I turned on my phone to check the time. I had returned to the time when I was forcing my parents to agree with me, as I wanted to get married to Rhett.
With that on my mind, I jumped out of bed and rushed out of the door.
My parents were sitting on the sofa. As soon as they saw me, they said, "Emily, we've discussed it and agreed with you since you insist on marrying Rhett."
In my previous life, Rhett was an illegitimate son of the Lawson family. I had resorted to a hunger strike to pressure my parents into agreeing with me to marry Rhett.
I'd never known that I had pushed my parents into a trap.
I threw myself into my parents' arms. "Dad, Mom, I won't marry Rhett. I'll call off the engagement in a few days."
My father's tense expression relaxed. And my mother smiled and said, "Emily, have you thought it through?"
I nodded firmly. "Absolutely!"
Seeing my determination, my parents finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The driver took me to the school gate in a luxury car. I walked straight into the classroom, only to be greeted by gossip.
"I know Emily is rich, but... does she have to humiliate me like this?" Beata Read's eyes were red from crying. She looked as innocent as a lamb.
I walked directly up to her. "I just want to know how exactly I humiliated you."
My parents had supported her, providing for her needs and even getting her into this prestigious school.
But she spread rumors to tarnish my reputation.
Beata blushed as she was caught in the act. She cried even harder. "Emily, I know I did it wrong. Please don't be angry."
Everyone began to side with her. "How can you be like this, Emily? You cannot bully her just because you have some money."
"Exactly. Beata, don't be upset. She just doesn't know how to behave."
I sneered and gave Beata a sharp slap. "Don't let me hear you spreading rumors again. If you do, you will see what happens."
Beata was shocked as she clutched her face. In the past, no matter how much she slandered me, I always endured it silently.
Hearing hurried footsteps, I knew who was coming.
Rhett shoved me aside, causing me to land on the floor. And he rushed to comfort his pure love.
I stood up and dusted off my skirt. Rhett glared at me with disgust. "Emily, apologize to Beata!"
I sneered, "Do I apologize to her? She's been spreading rumors about me. I am lenient enough not to call the police. Besides, my dress has been dirtied. So, how are you going to compensate me?"
Everyone looked at me in shock. In the past, I never dared to defy Rhett.
Rhett snorted, "Emily, have you had enough? Don't think you can get my attention with such a low trick."
I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed how shameless he was before. "Three million dollars. When will you pay me? Otherwise, I'll call the police."
Three million dollars was a significant sum for me. But for Rhett, an illegitimate son with low status, it was a significant sum.
If I hadn't insisted on getting engaged to him, he and his mother would still be living a homeless life.
For the sake of his pride, Rhett gritted his teeth and agreed. "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
I sneered, "Make sure you pay me on time. Don't embarrass yourself by delaying."
