Ch. I choose our life 7 I choose our life 7

Under Owen’s orders, within a month, the once–prominent Tran family completely vanished from the city. I seized the opportunity to acquire their stocks and assets. 

I replaced the Tran family and became a pillar of the business world. 

The Tran family cut all ties with Kyson. I heard that Kyson’s father died of rage right there in his hospital bed. 

Lyla was also kicked out of the house. They were left penniless, forced to survive on their own labor. 

Lyla was still pregnant. Having been pampered since childhood, I wondered if she could endure a life of poverty. 

I knew for certain that Kyson would never let Lyla live comfortably. 

My parents also fell into trouble. The family business had long been absorbed by me. Their gambling debts kept snowballing. growing larger and larger. 

Desperate, they called me many times, but I blocked their numbers directly. 

From the moment they chose to sacrifice me, I no longer had. such parents.

Owen and I had been living together for most of the year. Our daily life was so blissful it felt almost unreal. 

After handling company affairs and returning home, I could always hear Lily’s cheerful laughter. No matter how busy or late Owen was, he would always come home to be with me. 

This winter brought the first snowfall. I sat in our warm, comfortable room drinking milk. 

I suddenly felt that this kind of life wasn’t bad at all. 

The sales associate called me, saying the bag I’d been wanting was finally in stock. 

I excitedly headed out. 

After getting out of the car, I was about to enter the plaza when I suddenly collapsed. 

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a factory! 

Thick smoke billowed outside the windows, emitting a 

nauseating smell. Standing in front of me were Kyson and Lyla, who had been missing for days. 

I barely recognized Lyla. Her once graceful figure was now skeletal, her entire face haggard and worn.

She looked more like a demon crawled out of hell. 

Seeing me wake up, she eagerly grabbed my face.

“You bitch! I’ve fallen to this state because of you! If you hadn’t been so ruthless, I’d still be living a wealthy life! 

“Why do you have to compete with me for everything? I clearly followed your previous life’s approach, so why did I still lose?” 

She was somewhat hysterical–the failures of two lifetimes had hit her too hard. 

I sneered: 

“Don’t you understand yet? No matter which path you choose, the outcome is the same. Because greed and laziness are carved into your very bones! 

“After inheriting the company, you weren’t willing to maintain the business or handle social obligations–you only wanted to enjoy yourself! Bankruptcy was inevitable! 

“After marrying, you didn’t know how to maintain relationships. and were too greedy! You fool!” 

Every word hit her where it hurt. 

She trembled with rage, her hands tightly gripping my throat.

Her bloodshot eyes revealed a fury that wanted to tear me apart. 

Just as I was about to suffocate, she was suddenly kicked away. 

by Kyson. 

“Bitch! You want to ruin my plan? If she dies, will the Graham. family still pay up?” 

Lyla crashed heavily to the ground, roaring in frustration. 

Kyson ignored her, glanced at me and said: 

“Don’t worry. You’ll be safe until the Graham family sends the 

money. 

“You two really are in love. He’s actually willing to pay a billion dollars to save you. You’re quite valuable.” 

He marveled while looking me over. But I was shocked by the billion dollars he mentioned. 

Owen had truly lost his mind.
