Reborn and Riches Chapter 10
Jason said he had a surprise for me.When I arrived at the destination, however, there was no sign of him.Just as I was looking around, trying to find him, a cute little doll appeared. I followed its lively steps and, guided by it, jogged my way to the rooftop.The place had been carefully arranged, with red rose petals gently falling, creating the atmosphere of a dream-like romance.The sky was lit up, and under the backdrop of dazzling fireworks, I saw Jason walking toward me, holding a bouquet of red roses."This is for you," said Jason, pulling out an exquisite gift box.Inside lay a brilliant, dazzling necklace, with a large gemstone that sparkled under the lights. As far as I knew, this was a special customized piece from a famous designer, one of a kind in the world, with extraordinary meaning.I took the gift box and a mixture of emotions arose in my heart. "This is too precious. I can’t accept it.""I like you. You deserve the best," Jason said firmly, his eyes filled

During university, I helped the person who sat next to me, Jessica Sugden, deliver a love letter to Jonny, and as a result, someone found out and mistakenly thought I liked him.At the time, I couldn’t exactly say who the letter was from."That love letter, you didn’t read it, right? It wasn’t written by me, I don’t like you at all."I watched with my own eyes as Jonny took the letter and threw it into the trash can around the corner.Megan laughed. "Look, she still won’t admit it. She might be too shy.""The envelope of the love letter had a beautiful hand-drawn blue whale on it, and I could never draw that. I also don’t want to reveal her name, after all, it’s quite embarrassing. She’s a lawyer now, surrounded by elite men. A guy like you, with a big head and ears, would never be her type now."I knew that, based on his current situation, Jonny was not worthy of Jessica.After I finished speaking, the people around us started gossiping.A classmate guessed, "Could it be Jessi

On the big screen of the stock exchange, colorful numbers and charts intertwined, playing the latest news from the financial channel."The real estate industry, which had long been in a slump, has finally welcomed its bull market after enduring a long winter. Many related stocks have soared, like butterflies emerging from cocoons, achieving significant profits. However, the market is always volatile. Yesterday, a sudden large withdrawal of funds from the stock market led to a sharp fluctuation in stock prices, causing a steep decline. As for the future, whether these stock prices can regain their upward momentum and continue to rise, we will just have to wait and see."I stood in a corner of the bustling trading hall, pretending to be relieved. "Luckily, I withdrew early, or I would have lost my capital."I had long known about the subtle changes in stock prices.I received a phone call from a friend, who delivered some bad news about one of his investment projects encountering pro

I had made money from the stock market earlier simply due to luck, but now I needed to quickly throw myself into the work of hotel management.However, the weather turned cold overnight, and I fell ill. My physical discomfort made my mood irritable and restless, and I felt powerless to do anything.I was still upset that he hadn't come to my university reunion.I stayed at home for three days without telling Jason.I was feeling miserable. When I saw the messages he sent me, I always tried to muster up some energy to reply, but then I would forget due to exhaustion.When would he come to see me?Just then, the door opened, and I felt a surge of joy.In this house, aside from me, only Jason knew the password to the door lock.Jason called my name. "Laura, what's wrong? Why haven't you replied to my messages? You know how worried I've been about you?"I struggled to sit up on the bed. "I'm just sick."My voice was weak when I responded.Upon hearing this, he furrowed his brows

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I saw two familiar figures walk past me."Isn't that my ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law?"They turned around upon hearing my voice, eyeing me and Jason up and down with disbelief and anger in their eyes."You shameless woman, you just got divorced and now you're hooking up with another man! What are you doing here?"Judith's harsh face twisted instantly, and her scream was like a kettle boiling, sharp and piercing. "You shameless woman, you just got divorced and now you're hooking up with another man! What are you doing here at the hospital? Are you pregnant with his child?"Her voice grew louder, drawing curious glances from the people around us.I calmly responded, "Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about your son. I think you should focus more on the paternity test, because the child in Helen’s womb probably isn't your grandson, is it?"I deliberately emphasized the words "paternity test" and "grandson."Upon hearin

I arranged to meet Mr. Lowe, a tourism industry entrepreneur, at a restaurant to discuss an upcoming collaboration project.I had specifically reserved a table by the window in advance, only to find that Rick was seated at the next table.Initially, I wanted to change seats, but I was told it wasn’t possible.I listened to the conversation at the next table.“Mr. Rane, we’ve known each other for so long, haven’t we? Could you transfer the full payment for this project upfront? It wouldn’t affect our transaction anyway, right?” Rick poured a glass of wine skillfully and handed it respectfully to Mr. Rane.“This isn’t how our relationship works. My company isn’t making much profit either. If your company is short on funds, you should look into financing options.” Mr. Rane hesitated, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to sign the contract.Just as he picked up the pen, I quickly stepped forward and gently pressed down on Mr. Rane’s hand.“Rick has already been dismissed by

Early in the morning, I received a call from the hotel manager. "Ms. Jackson, a large number of customers have food poisoning. They say the breakfast delivered this morning was the issue. Now, other customers are panicking and demanding to check out. What should we do?"My heart sank, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Wait for me, I'll be there right away."I hung up the phone, quickly gathered my thoughts, and drove to the hotel.Upon arrival, I immediately called a meeting with the relevant department heads and found out the cause of the problem. Multiple customers had reported that the breakfast delivered by the hotel had an unusual smell and unknown contents, suggesting a possible food hygiene issue.The news spread quickly, and Mr. Lowe, who had previously worked with us, arrived upon hearing the rumors. He understood the importance of the hotel's reputation and stepped forward to vouch for the hotel, insisting that our hygiene standards were in no way compromised. His

After the matter was resolved, I called Jason.Considering that Jason had been taking care of me when I was sick last time, I planned to cook a big meal to reward him this time.After work, he picked me up and we went to the supermarket together.I accidentally bumped into Helen at the corner of the supermarket, and she was walking alongside another man."Isn't that your ex-husband's mistress?" Jason gently tapped my arm, signaling me to pay attention.At first, I didn't notice, but after Jason's reminder, I saw her and looked a little longer to confirm, "It's her.""What's her relationship with this man?" Jason asked in a low voice. He also noticed the unfamiliar man beside Helen. Their behavior was intimate, and they occasionally exchanged smiles. There was an unspoken closeness in the air.The man called Helen "baby," which didn't sound like something one would say to a sibling."My god, could he be the father of the baby in Helen's womb?""Maybe."Before we could leave, H

When I was little, there was a chubby boy living next door.His house was noisy, with his parents constantly arguing.My dad went over to confront them, saying, "What's going on in your house? It's so late, how are others supposed to sleep?"I hid behind my dad and caught sight of the chubby boy.His face was streaked with tears as he sobbed and wiped his eyes.That was the first time I met him. I handed him a candy.Because my mom always said that children wouldn't cry after eating candy.However, when his chubby little hand took the candy, he cried even harder.Later, when I started primary school, I discovered he was in the same class as me.But it seemed like none of the classmates liked him. They even gave him the nickname "Chubs."The nickname was cute, but he didn't like it. He always walked home alone with his schoolbag.One day after school, he was being bullied by kids from another class. He was cornered against the classroom wall.He looked so pitiful.I didn't

Rick groped around, picking up a wine bottle and attempting to smash it over Jason's head.Seeing this, I rushed forward, trying to grab Rick's hand. However, his strength was overwhelming, and I was struggling to hold on.At that moment, the sound of sirens echoed in my ears. Several police officers got out of their cars, guns drawn, and approached us."Drop everything now!" The officer's voice was firm and commanding. They quickly subdued Rick and placed handcuffs on him."Rick, you are suspected of embezzlement, intentional assault, and defrauding others of their money. You'll need to come with us to the station."Both Jason and I were also asked to go and give statements.I looked at the blood on the corner of Jason's mouth. "He wouldn't have done anything to me. You should have waited. The police would have come soon enough, and now you're hurt so badly.""I was worried about you, and besides, that scumbag has had it coming for a long time. This was the perfect opportunity,

On my way home from work, I noticed someone following me.Recent news reports about a pervert on the loose immediately made me alarmed.I quickly pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling as I sent a message to Jason, asking him to come find me immediately.My heart was racing, and I quickened my pace, trying to shake off the mysterious follower. However, the sound of leather shoes striking the pavement followed relentlessly, drawing even closer.When I turned around, I was stunned to see Rick. His face was still bruised from a previous encounter."So, it's you. Sneaking around and following me—what are you trying to do?"I angrily confronted him, attempting to break free from the sudden, suffocating hug he had thrown around me. His grip was so tight I could barely breathe."Let go of me!""I was wrong. Please forgive me. Let's be together again," he pleaded in a pitiful tone, but the redness in his eyes under his hat made him look almost deranged.I knew he had ulterior motiv

I received a call from the hotel. The staff informed me that someone was causing a scene in the hotel lobby, emotionally agitated and insisting on seeing me.This filled me with an inexplicable sense of unease, and I quickly put aside what I was doing.I drove over in a hurry, and before I could even park my car properly, a figure rushed out of the hotel entrance and ran straight toward me.It was an elderly woman, dressed simply and with a frail, thin frame. Her steps were unsteady.Her hair was messy, her face pale, her lips cracked and trembling slightly, and her eyes full of exhaustion.Though she looked much older, I still recognized her.It was Judith."Laura, we were wrong. I know we owes you a great deal. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I really have no one else to turn to. Please, save my son."As soon as she spoke, her voice choked with sobs, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.Then, with a sudden thud, she knelt before me. The unexpected gesture c

After quite a while, the noise at the door stopped.I took a deep breath, gathered my courage, and opened the door a little, still hoping to see Jason.However, his figure was nowhere to be seen outside.I felt a wave of disappointment.Just as I was about to close the door, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side, pulled me out, and wrapped around me quickly and firmly.Jason explained, "Are you mad at me because I didn't tell you about my family?"All sorts of emotions tangled together, leaving me momentarily unsure of how to respond."Please don’t be angry," he pleaded. "I really care about you and don't want to lose you.""No, it's just... If you came for that girl in the first place, why did you say you liked me?" My eyes reddened, and my voice carried a hint of choking.Jason looked at me with a bewildered expression. "What girl?""The one from earlier.""I already explained, didn't I? I see her as my sister. There's nothing between us like what you're thinking."

I went downstairs to take out the trash. As I walked out the building door, I ran into a few elderly men and women sitting around a table in the neighborhood, chatting.One of the elderly men said with admiration, his tone full of praise, "That young man, Jason, he studied abroad, he's really excellent.""My daughter doesn't have a boyfriend yet. I'm so worried. I wonder if Jason has a partner.""Forget it. He came back for a girl." Another elderly woman shook her head, her tone tinged with regret."Jason must have a really great girl in mind." The elderly man seemed very curious about the woman Jason was interested in.Listening to their conversation, I couldn't help but feel my heart race. I asked casually, "Are you talking about Jason Lister?"The elderly woman immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, we’re talking about him. That young man is handsome and talented. He really makes people envy him.""Does he live across from you? Have you seen that girl?"I thought fo

Soon after, Jason handed me his phone and showed me a video.The place in the video was very familiar to me, it was the luxurious villa I had followed Rick to before.People were moving furniture out of the house, and it seemed like Helen had sold it to someone else.Rick was kneeling on the ground, tightly gripping Helen's hand, his voice trembling as he asked, "Is it really just because I lost money in the stock market that you're leaving me?""Trust me, the stock market will rise soon, and we'll have money again," he said.Helen pulled her hand away from Rick and said coldly, "Stop daydreaming. You always say this. Your promises mean nothing to me."Judith, who was standing nearby tried to pull Rick up. "Rick, stop embarrassing yourself here. The child in her womb isn't yours. Why are you still begging her to stay? She's just a malicious woman trying to steal your money! It’s better that she’s gone!""It doesn't matter that the child isn't mine. I just want to give you a home
