Chapter 1
In my previous life, I used the child in my womb to force the nearly bankrupt Ethan Johnson into marrying me.
On our wedding day, his first love Jasmine Cowell left behind a suicide note and jumped into the sea.
In her note, Jasmine wrote: “True love can never triumph over power and influence. I admit defeat.”
After learning this news, Ethan remained unmoved. He even smiled as he completed our wedding ceremony.
However, six months after our marriage, on the anniversary of Jasmine’s death, Ethan took me and our three–year–old son Jasper Johnson diving.
Three hundred feet underwater, he personally removed our oxygen tubes. Both Jasper and I drowned.
After our deaths, I watched as Ethan placed my corpse before Jasmine’s grave as an offering of atonement.
“Jasmine, I’ve already avenged you. Will you be happy in
heaven?”
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the night I used my pregnancy to force him into marriage.

At midnight, Ethan came through the door shivering from the cold.
Having just awakened from the agony of death, I looked at him with eyes full of terror and hatred.
Ethan froze slightly, a flash of bewilderment crossing his deep eyes before it transformed into disdain.
He ignored the table full of dishes that had long grown cold, standing before me with nothing but venom in his gaze.
“You can throw your tantrums at me! Jasmine wasn’t as vicious as you, nor as scheming. What’s wrong with her loving music? Why did you have to target her?”
His accusations caught me completely off guard.
After a moment of confusion, I remembered that Jasmine Cowell had also come running back in tears at this same time in my previous life.
She had accused me of using my family’s influence to pressure the school, causing her expulsion, all so I could marry Ethan.
However, the truth was that during her time at school, she had been obsessed with parties and socializing with the wealthy elite, frequently skipping classes.

Then the school administration advised
her to withdraw.
Jasmine was simply afraid of Ethan learning the truth. After all, coming from a poor background, her study abroad expenses were entirely funded by Ethan’s family.
Between her and me, Ethan would always believe only her.
With this in mind, I laughed coldly and retorted: “With my family’s power, I could easily have her expelled. Would I really need to go through all this trouble?”
This was the first time I had ever argued

As if remembering something amusing, a flash of coldness crossed his eyes as he said word by word: “I despise you to the
extreme. Why would I care about your child?”
Even though I had long known of his heartless nature, his words still pierced my heart like knives, causing excruciating pain.
The image of Jasper’s tragic death in my previous life appeared before my eyes like a nightmare.
I snatched the pregnancy report from him and tore it to pieces without hesitation.
“Since you don’t want this child, I’ll give it up. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”
