After being married for seven years, my husband, Samuel Ford, falls for Maggie Burner, his company's new accountant. He says, "It's only upon meeting her that I realize what love is." For the sake of his love, he allows Maggie to anger my aunt, who's gravely ill. She subsequently dies. He also stands by and watches as Maggie locks our four-year-old daughter in the car, leading to her asphyxiation. I lose all hope in life and ram my car at Samuel and Maggie. We die together. When I open my eyes, I realize that I've traveled seven years into the past. It's me and Samuel's wedding day. The officiant gives a speech, then asks, "Do you, Samuel Ford, take Penelope Waterworth to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?" Samuel is taken aback. Then, he flings my hand aside and says coldly, "No, I don't." I lower my head to conceal the emotions in my eyes. What a coincidence—I don't want to marry him, either.
View MoreI never expected that Samuel would seek me out once again.When I heard his voice again, it gave me a feeling that an eternity had passed."Penny, I know you hate me, but can you please open the door and listen to what I have to say?"Open the door? As if!I rolled my eyes before turning Samuel down. "Didn't you say you wanted to part ways amicably? Get lost! Stop badgering me!""Penny, just listen to what I have to say! It'll be quick!"I didn't respond, so Samuel took it as a yes. He began telling me a story through the door."Penny, this might sound a little weird. I know you might not believe me, but just listen to me. "The reason why I acted like that at our wedding was because I had a dream. In that dream, we got married and were in love with each other. We even had an adorable daughter together."But… But an accident happened. We lost our daughter. Aunt Linda was dead, too. You broke down out of guilt and sorrow, so you drove off a cliff in an attempt to commit a group
Tyler worked fast. One week later, he reported the results to me.It was extremely effective. He managed to convince two more people to switch companies with him.Samuel was probably wondering why he led a worse life than before despite having gotten reborn. He might have known a lot of things in advance, but the truth was, he was just the owner of a small office. He didn't have a high social standing, so he didn't even have the chance to get in contact with people who were once his business partners in my previous life.But if he were to temper himself and do things step by step, there was a chance that he'd climb to the position he once held in my previous life.What I needed to do was make sure that he couldn't carry out his plans without worrying about something.Since both the human resources and his source of business were decreasing, Samuel's office was on the verge of getting disbanded. At this time, he barely had time for Maggie, let alone her family.I hired a few mid
Samuel's payment came right on time without a single cent missing. He even added a note that said, "Let's part ways amicably."I wondered if he was worried that I might continue causing him trouble or expose the fact that he was dating Maggie.The moment I received the money, the next step of my plan was carried in motion.It was still pretty early. Even though Samuel's office was starting to garner a reputation, it would only achieve actual success in one year under the combination of new policies and golden opportunities. During this period, I was in charge of all the minuscule tasks in the office, which included dealing with the clients.In other words, I had the contact numbers of the majority of the clientele. With my memories of my previous life aiding me, I even knew who the potential clients were.All I had to do was pass the core information to people who needed it. I'd be able to gather favors under my belt while giving away business deals that were supposed to belong
"Your so-called effort involves preparing ugly and cheap decorations as well as a slice of cake that could be bought anywhere in this city? Yet, you're still putting on that disgusting act just to fool me?" I asked.Before Samuel could answer me, I continued, "You must've thought that you're oh-so wonderful, right? Ha! To think that you're able to force yourself to suck up to the ex-girlfriend whom you hate with all your heart for the sake of your office! You really are good at enduring humiliation, aren't you?"Samuel's muscles had gone all tense. The flames of fury in his eyes looked like they were about to engulf him whole."Penelope Waterworth!""I can hear you. There's no need to shout."I glanced at Samuel before dragging a stool over and sitting down. "Samuel, don't play tricks on me. I only have one sentence for you—pay up, or I'll see you in court. When that time comes, I won't be certain whether or not your office's reputation will be affected."Some of the staff member
Samuel fell silent.He must've remembered the things he had done when he first got reborn, for he couldn't explain his own behavior, too.If he were to bring up the car crash that had happened in his previous life, others would've thought of him as a lunatic. They'd think that he was incapable of coming up with a better excuse just to pin the blame on someone else.Samuel let out a small sigh. He sounded a little tired."Can you give me a grace period? Trust me. I'll definitely be able to earn money. I'll make sure to pay you back double the rate when the time comes.""No way!" I stood my ground.After all, I did this just to create problems for him, not to earn money from him.Upon realizing that he couldn't get through to me, Samuel responded, "You really are brutal."After that, he ended the call.Honestly speaking, even if I did get back my money right now, I couldn't cripple his office right away. But it was still possible for me to make them lapse into a difficult financ
Since Samuel and I were university mates who stayed together throughout the establishment of the company, we had many mutual friends.None of them knew about the bad blood we had with each other in our previous life. All they saw was the fact that Samuel had gone nuts on his wedding and broke up with his girlfriend, whom he had dated for many years.At that time, everyone pitied me while berating Samuel for being a massive jerk.I spent two days sorting out documents under the guise of being sad. On the third day, I barged into Samuel's office with a few friends.The moment I entered the office, I was stunned by how filthy it was. There was trash everywhere on the floor, while empty takeout boxes littered the tables. The air stank a lot, to say the least.I looked around my surroundings before focusing on the person closest to me. "Where's Samuel?"The man, Joshua Hills, simpered at me. "Are you here to visit Sam, Mrs. Ford?""Mrs. Ford? That title isn't meant for me."I scoffe
Samuel and I were university mates. We began dating each other in our junior year. In fact, we were each other's first love.After graduating from university, Samuel got into a bad fight with the boss of his department half a year after he started working. That was when he decided to quit his job and start his own company.His parents had already gotten divorced and married other people when he was at a young age. So, they no longer cared about him once he became of age. He had to cover his tuition fees via study loans and working part-time jobs.After Samuel quit his job and started his company, his family didn't offer him any financial support at all.My heart ached for him back then, so I quit my job to help him out. I didn't know much about the technical stuff, so I did my best in other aspects to aid him.Basically, I was in charge of the workers' daily meals, the archiving and organization of all documents, the recording of account balances, as well as other admin tasks.

Everyone went into an uproar. The guests didn't expect to stumble upon such a scene at a wedding. Soon, whispers and murmurs began echoing throughout the ballroom.The host's smile froze on his face. He didn't expect to see the groom, who was delighted a moment ago, suddenly go through a mood change.He paused momentarily before changing the subject. "Oh, dear, it seems that our groom is still having the pre-wedding jitters! Let's listen to a song for now, dear guests! We'll give him some time to recompose himself!"Loud music rang out immediately. The host shot us a look immediately. It was a sign for us to hurry up and resolve our conflict as soon as possible. At the very least, we shouldn't be embarrassing ourselves in front of the guests.Alas, the host's nice intentions were outright ignored by Samuel Ford, my supposed husband-to-be. Instead, he snatched the microphone from the host."I'm sorry for wasting your time, everyone. This wedding is canceled. I'd like to make it cle
