During a family gathering, my mother produces a few photos of different men. She asks me which one I want to get into an arranged marriage with. I don't choose Bradley Garvin again in this lifetime. Instead, I pull out a photo of my own and give it to my mother. It's of Terrence Garvin, the Garvin family's true leader. My mother is surprised. I've pursued Bradley for many years, after all. What she doesn't know is that I married him in my past life. However, he rarely came home. I always thought it was because he was too busy. Whenever anyone asked me about it, I took all the blame. I only discovered the truth on our 20th wedding anniversary after accidentally breaking a box he kept locked in his closet. It turned out my sister was the one he'd always loved. He never returned home because he didn't want to see me. Unexpectedly, Bradley loses his mind when I'm about to put a diamond ring on Terrence's finger on our wedding day.
View MoreMy childhood dreams finally came true.I put on the wedding gown that I made myself and married the love of my life.Just as the two of us vowed to be eternally faithful to each other, Bradley came barging into the venue."I won't allow it!"Chad was the first to react. He immediately instructed the bodyguards to seize Bradley."Hurry and take him away! We can't have him causing us more shame. Bradley, we'll kick you out of the house if you insist on making a scene here!"Usually, Bradley would shut up obediently whenever Chad made a threat. Yet, he retorted this time. His face was flushed."You can kick me out of the house if you want, but Julia's husband can only be me! Julia, listen to me! I married you in our previous life. We lived happily together for years. That's the life we should be living!"If it were the old me, I would have bought those words and married Bradley. However, I was someone who had been reborn. I knew better than him what happened during those years we
Jenna came barging into the room with a fruit knife in her hand just then. She pointed at me with the knife and shouted furiously."Julia! Why did you have to ruin my life? Bradley had already agreed to go for the marriage registration and make me his wife. It was all your fault!"Was it not enough that you ruined my first life? Now you're going to ruin my second life too? Go to hell!"She swung the knife and rushed at me. I was so terrified that I stood rooted to the spot.At that very moment, a figure moved to stand before me. The person smiled and comforted me. "Don't worry. I'm here."Following Jenna's shrill shriek, the person lost all color in his face. Jenna tossed the knife on the floor out of fear.Bradley's white shirt was stained red because of his blood. Fortunately, it was just a shallow cut.Bradley turned around. He stared at Jenna with a dark expression on his face."Jenna, you evil wench! I must have been blind to have fallen for you before!"Then, he started
I stared at him in bewilderment.Even though this was already my second life, I still had not gotten a full grasp of Bradley's way of thinking. I always ended up getting shocked by how shameless he could get.I squirmed free from his grip and pushed him away."You're the one who needs to stop doing this! I'll soon become your uncle's wife! You ought to show me some respect!"Seeing that I would not give in, Bradley tried to hold my head still and kiss me. "I won't allow you to marry him! You're mine and mine only!"As I closed my eyes and tried to resist, I was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace. Terrence placed his jacket over my shoulders. Then, he broke Bradley's nose by throwing a punch at his face."Bradley Garvin, do you have a death wish?"Blood spilled from Bradley's nostrils. It got all over his face, making him look quite menacing.Bradley wiped the blood off with his hand and snickered. "I never thought someone as brilliant as you actually preferred using someone's
The person who had zero clue was Bradley.I sensed a resentful gaze on me almost immediately. I could tell where it was coming from without even looking.At that very moment, Chad raised his glass and began, "We, the Garvins, will be celebrating a wonderful occasion soon. The main reason we're having a family dinner tonight is to discuss the couple's upcoming wedding."Before Chad could finish his speech, Bradley butted in, "Dad, you don't have to worry about it. As for the marriage certificate… We've already received it. Right, Julia?"He signaled to me with a glance to go along with his statement.I took a sip of water and remained silent. I kept thinking about what he just said."He and Jenna… They've gotten their marriage certificate?" I pondered.Bradley's expression hardened visibly when I did not cooperate with him. His eyes blazed with anger.My phone rang again. Bradley had sent me a series of messages."Julia, are you mute? Say something already!""Why are you keepi
He looked much more mature and reliable than how I remembered him to be. The Garvins showed him a lot of respect as they stood up to greet him.After losing their parents at a young age, Terrence and his sister, Fiona Garvin, only had each other to rely on. It was Bradley's grandmother who took them in.After they grew up, Fiona married Bradley's father, Chad Garvin, whereas Terrence traveled abroad to build his career.The Garvin family had lost most of their wealth over the years. It was with Terrence's help that they managed to keep their business going and still make money.Ever since Fiona, Bradley's mother, passed away, the Garvins had remained submissive to Terrence since they did not want to see him grow distant from them. They were afraid of upsetting their source of fortune in any way.Everyone was smiling as they looked at Terrence.Yet, he wore an icy expression on his face. It was only when Terrence looked in my direction that his lips curled up in a soft smile.He
With the proposal ruined, the tad bit of longing I had for Bradley was gone too. I let out a deep sigh, suppressing the feelings of sorrow in my heart.Terrence and I would finally get to meet tonight. I was feeling quite nervous and restless. After all, he was also considered an elder to me in my past life.I heaved a long breath, ready to meet him in my best condition. Even if I could not make Terrence fall for me at once, I strived to make sure he would not despise me.After arranging my thoughts, I fixed my make-up and left the office feeling satisfied.Just as I got to the underground parking lot, I picked up on the sound of someone moaning. I looked in the direction where the sound was coming from and spotted a black car that was visibly shaking.I took a glance at the car plate number."Tsk! It's Bradley's car," I clicked my tongue inwardly.Through the half-open window, Jenna, who had a glazed look in her eyes, could be seen swaying along with Bradley's movements. Bradle
In my last life, Jenna and Bradley knew each other. Yet, Jenna dared not act so brazenly in front of everyone. She would only pull some tricks while keeping them discreet.It was no wonder almost everyone knew about her relationship with Bradley in just two to three days' time now.My eyes hardened as I recalled my previous life.After I married into the Garvin family, Garvin Corporation's business flourished. The company even made it into Forbes' list of top global companies.The elders of the Garvin family approved of me and said that I brought their family good luck. Although Bradley treated me coldly, the warmth I received from the Garvin family's elders still made me feel happy and content.That was until I broke the box, shattering all of the illusions.Someone pushed the door open. My mother told me that Terrence Garvin would be coming back soon.I froze and remained silent.It seemed like my mother had something else to say. In the end, she merely sighed and walked away
Bradley and Jenna hugged each other tightly as if they were the only ones left in this world. They even shared a passionate kiss at some point.Bradley circled his arms around Jenna's waist while Jenna placed her hands on Bradley's arms. The two of them looked much more like a couple than how Bradley was with me.The others were amused as they watched what was happening. Some of them even murmured among themselves despite knowing I would hear them."If I were Julia, I would have crawled into a hole in the ground and stayed out of everyone's sight.""She's thick-skinned enough to just stand here while her fiancé and her sister have their hands all over each other."I was well aware that these people were waiting to see me make a fool of myself. They wanted to see if I would start shouting and yelling hysterically like how I did previously just to make Bradley look at me.Bradley turned his eyes to me at that moment. He scoffed, clearly satisfied with how I did not overreact.He w
I ran into Bradley Garvin on the second day after the news of the marriage was announced. His friends spotted me and called out to Bradley, who was talking to someone else."Bradley, your fiancée is here!"For a moment, all eyes were on us. Bradley's brows arched as he shot me a glance impatiently."Julia Sanderson, you had the nerve to show your face here. You had them announce the union between the Sandersons and the Garvins without my permission! Do you not value your own dignity?"I was momentarily stunned."Oh, right! I forgot that Bradley's uncle has the same last name as him," I thought.Although I had prepared myself mentally, I instinctively held my breath upon receiving the scornful look from Bradley. Then, I took a deep breath to calm myself down."The person I'm marrying isn't you."Bradley's friends burst into fits of laughter before I could finish. They patted Bradley's shoulders."Bradley, your fiancée is hilarious!""You should tell her not to use such a lame
