In front of the orphanage gates, Rebecca Schwartz, the impoverished student I had been sponsoring, stood glaring at me with a face full of disdain. "If you don't let Freddie come along, I'm not going to your house either," she declared, her tone sharp and unyielding. In the past, blinded by love and hopelessly infatuated, I would have caved to her demands, humbling myself just to keep the peace. But things were different now—I had been reborn. Staring at this despicable pair, who had once caused my tragic demise, a tidal wave of fury surged within me. Yet, it settled into nothing more than a faint, icy smile on my lips. "Then stay here," I said, my voice cold and steady. "Rot in this place alongside your precious Freddie. After all, trash like you belong in the garbage heap."

A Second Chance at Life Chapter 9
Sebastian suddenly went mad. He shoved Freddie, who had been hitting himself, away, and grabbed Christina by the neck. "You filthy woman! Was all of this part of your plan?! You had this child and tried to adopt him. When you failed, you made me mess with Mr. George's car… When he died, no one would have been the wiser! Everyone knew you were his mistress. All you had to do was claim this child as yours, and you could inherit the Hales' fortune… You witch! You've ruined my life!" In my past life, after Rebecca and Freddie had crushed me with their car, Freddie had been terrified, asking Christina if everything was really okay. Christina's face was cold as she told him, "As long as we stick together, we'll be fine. It's not the first time. The stuff with George passed, and now this with Tyler will too…" Sebastian squeezed Christina's neck, slamming her to the ground. She spat blood, the red droplets splashing onto Freddie's clothes, making him cry out in shock as he desperately

I didn't cut off her credit card, hoping to gather more evidence against her.I had also arranged for the credit card transaction records to be posted online. Among them were expenses from nightclubs, luxury item purchases, and stays at five-star hotels—figures so staggering they were hard to believe. There were even videos showing her and Freddie using the credit card I had given her for shopping, booking rooms in hotel lobbies, and making out in public. The times, locations, and transaction details all matched up precisely.I had someone put together a clear and concise slideshow presentation, making it easy for everyone to understand at a glance.The online commenters were furious.[Rebecca says Tyler harassed her—what is her definition of harassment? Throwing money at her?!][@Tyler, Mr. Tyler, I beg you to harass me! I'm low maintenance, and I won't bite the hand that feeds me..."[Tyler, are you, by any chance, bi?][Rebecca is utterly disgusting! Just the thought of her m

Christina spun around in panic. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, I stood up and stepped forward, respectfully offering my arm to my grandmother."Grandma, you're here."My grandmother gently patted my hair with her broad, comforting hand."When I got your call, I had the family jet rush me over right away. Don't worry, my dear. With me here, I'll make sure no one would harm you, especially not a shameless wench."Rebecca and Sebastian exchanged confused glances.Sebastian, clearly the more confident member of the group, took a couple of steps forward, his voice dripping with skepticism."Madam, did you just say that Hale Group belonged to your son? You're Mr. George's mother?"His tone was filled with doubt, a mocking smile on his lips."We've never heard of Mr. George's mother still being alive. Are you an actress Tyler hired for this charade? Madam, don't do everything people tell you just for some spare change. There could be legal consequences for this!"Before my

After the graduation photo was shown, another girl stepped forward, her eyes filled with tears as she spoke passionately. "I'm Freddie's high school classmate, and I was one of his victims. Because I fought back when his then-girlfriend bullied me, Freddie had people drag me into a bathroom. They beat me, forced me to drink water from the toilet, and even filmed it, uploading the video online..."She rolled up her sleeve, revealing deep scars on her arm."They tortured me to the point of severe depression. I even tried to take my own life multiple times..."The video she shared showed Freddie's terrifying face, caught briefly in the mirror, sending chills down anyone's spine. The viewers were outraged, the chat flooded with furious comments. But just then, Christina, Freddie, Rebecca, and Sebastian stormed into the office, interrupting my livestream. They forced their way into the frame. Christina, looking both angry and heartbroken, faced the camera."As the widow of my la

[It's Freddie, the one who's been hanging out with Rebecca a lot lately.][I heard that Rebecca fell for Freddie at first sight, but Tyler just won't let go! How shameless!][I've heard that too—he even kicked his own mother and brother out of the house. I almost want to crack his skull open to see what's inside, but I'm afraid I'll end up covered in crap…]I scrolled through the malicious comments one by one, as if they had nothing to do with me.Having lived through it all again, I truly didn't care what others thought of me.But I couldn't let them keep slinging dirt at me.Freddie had changed his last name and entered school as "Freddie Hale", an heir of the Hales. Every time he attended an event and was asked about his family, he'd put on a pitiful face."Tyler has always been insanely jealous. He threatened our parents, saying there could only be one child in the family, and even threatened to kill me. Rebecca is right. Tyler does have a lot of issues. My parents were genu

Christina was about to yell, but I shot her a look that stopped her in her tracks."And you don't need to go to the company either. After all, everything the Hales own belongs to me now. My dad left it all to me."It wasn't just this house. The Hales' assets, shares in the company—all of it had been passed down to me. Christina got nothing but the luxury bags and clothes hanging on the walls of her room. Before I turned 18, Christina had control over everything, as the assets were entrusted to her. Back then, caught in the emotional prison they had built for me, I never once thought about the financial matters. But now I understood. I shouldn't get greedy. I had enough with just my wealth.Before returning home, I had already taken over the family trust. From now on, if Christina wanted a single penny from the Hales, she would have to ask for my permission first.I clapped my hands twice, and two teams of bodyguards stormed in."Throw these people out."Confused, Rebecca and Fr

Rebecca looked at me, her expression as cold and detached as if she were delivering a formal announcement to an employee. "Mrs. Hale has already adopted Freddie," she said, her voice dripping with authority. "From now on, you and Freddie are brothers; you're both heirs to Hale Group. So stop trying to put him down. Oh, and by the way, Freddie will be attending our college now. You know how people are there—always looking to climb the social ladder. So Mrs. Hale and I decided that, for the public, we'll just say Freddie is the Hales' youngest son who's been living abroad and just recently came back."With a satisfied smile, she linked arms with Freddie. "Come on. Let's go check out your room. Mrs. Hale made sure to clear out Tyler's room for you. It's the biggest room in the house, getting the most sunlight—"Watching their shameless display, I couldn't hold back any longer. I raised an eyebrow and snapped, "Stop right there. Who gave you the nerve to act like this in my house?" I p

I caught Rebecca off guard with my words, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.Suddenly, Sebastian Robinett, the orphanage's director, spoke up from the side. "Tyler, this is where you're wrong," he said, his voice heavy with disapproval.Sebastian wasn't just the honorary director of the orphanage, but also our college dean, earning a hefty salary in the millions. My company, Hale Group, funded both institutions. But now, here he was, lecturing me like I had done something wrong."The paperwork was all done, and now you're backing out? Have you thought about the trouble this has caused others? You're not a kid anymore, yet you're acting like one! Is this what you're taught at school?" he asked, shaking his head. "Get rid of that snobbish attitude and go home with Rebecca and Freddie. Stop causing trouble."I couldn't help but feel a sense of mockery bubble up in me. When my father, George Hale, passed away, I was just a teenager, and for all these years, Sebastian h

Everyone at the scene froze in place. In my previous life, I had been nothing but a loyal doormat for Rebecca Schwartz. I had begged her to stay at my house, and even went as far as to invite Freddie Warner to live with us as the adopted heir to Hale Group, all to make her happy. But these two had conspired against me when I fell ill, stealing my inheritance while I was at my weakest. Back then, when I was on my deathbed, Rebecca, pregnant with Freddie's child, stormed into my room with him at her side. "You really think the baby in my belly is yours?" she sneered. "If I wasn't carrying Freddie's child, do you think you'd have ever had a chance to be my husband?" Freddie wrapped his arms around her and laughed mockingly. "There's no way Rebecca would carry your child, you idiot. It would only turn out to be mentally challenged." Now, seeing them standing in front of me alive and well, all I could think about was tearing them apart. They wanted to come to my hous
