Chapter 10
“I never loved you. If you hadn’t stolen Max’s bracelet and made me mistake you for life.”
I took Max’s hand and turned to leave.§
Richard hurriedly wheeled after us, only to hit a stone and fall hard to the ground.}
“Victoria, please… Give me another chance…”
I didn’t turn back. I only walked faster.}
Later, I told Max everything about my past life.
He was furious and punched the wall.
him, I would never have tried to save you in my last
“Victoria, it’s all because I didn’t protect that bracelet. You suffered so much because of it. I’ll repay every bit of that pain to Richard!“}
But before Max could act, Richard kidnapped me.§
My limbs were tied. I couldn’t move.
“Victoria, I know I was wrong. Why won’t you forgive me?”
“Why stay with Max? Don’t you know how much I hate him?“}
You gave him your blood to save him, but let me become a cripple.”
Richard sat in his wheelchair, his face twisted with madness.}
“But I won’t blame you. You only hate me because you love me.“>
“This time, I’ll protect you. We’ll live happily ever after, just like before.”
“Your blood can heal me, right?”
“When I stand again, I’ll give you a grand wedding and we’ll have children. Sons like me, daughters like you.“>
I trembled in fear.
“Richard, calm down. Your legs were amputated. I can’t cure you.”
“My blood isn’t magic. Just let me go, we can pretend none of this happened.“}
But he didn’t hear me.
He took out a knife, slowly approaching.
“Victoria, this will hurt a little… but soon we’ll be together again.”
Just as the blade neared my wrist, Max burst in and kicked him away.
“Victoria! Are you okay?”
Tears streamed down my face.
“Max… I was so scared.”
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here now.”
He untied me and led me away.”
Richard somehow mustered the strength to lift his upper body and tried to stab Max
Max dodged and Richard collapsed. The knife pierced his own chest.
By the time he was rushed to the hospital, he was already dead.§
Diana shaved her head in mourning. Thaddeus Group’s stock plummeted.
The Caldwell Group seized the opportunity and took control, becoming the city’s dominant power.
Later, Max held the wedding of the century for me.”
In my past life, Richard never married me, never even gave me a decent ceremony.
Everyone called me a disgrace.
But in this life, I had the grandest wedding and the most loving husband.§
I became the envy of every socialite in the capital.
As fireworks bloomed in the sky, Max cupped my face and kissed me.
This time, I had found true happiness.
