Throughout her life, Lauren Gu was tormented by Lenny Meng and Kayla Gu.

They even fed the daughter she had with Wyatt Huo to the wolves.

Eventually, Lenny pointed a gun at her and fired more than ten times.

Blood gushed from her head as she died, filled with hatred.

That day, heavy snow blanketed Cloud City.

......

When she opened her eyes again, Lauren was met with a splitting headache.

Suddenly, a large hand covered her mouth, and a menacing yet familiar male voice warned, "Don't make any sound."

His lips brushed against her ear.

Lauren shuddered for a moment before freezing in place.

Could it be Wyatt? Had her deceased husband, Wyatt Huo, returned to life? Or was this all just a dream?

Tears welled up in Lauren's eyes as she scanned her surroundings, recognizing the familiar scene: torn curtains, dim flickering candlelight, and the sounds of a man and woman engaged in a salacious act.

Wasn't this exactly like the first time she met Wyatt?

Lauren's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that she had been reborn?

And even more astonishingly, she had returned to the very moment she first met Wyatt.

……

"Hmm... Be gentle, Lenny. Please be gentle. It hurts..." The woman's voice was clear and charming.

"Be gentle? Do you really want me to be gentler?" The man's evil laughter rang out, and his movements became louder. "Don't you like it when I use force? Baby, how does it feel?"

"Uh-huh..."

Hearing the unbearable voice made Lauren's face darken, and her eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

Lenny Meng! Kayla Gu!

Those two beasts! They meet again!

Hatred arose in her heart, and the memories of her previous life flooded her mind.

She remembered that when she met Wyatt, she had chanced upon the secret affair between her fiance, Lenny, and her sister, Kayla.

Lauren and Lenny had been engaged since they were young, and their wedding would be held in two days, whereas Kayla was her adopted sister.

Many years ago, the wet nurse of the Gu family betrayed their family and abducted her. After a few twists and turns, she ended up in the countryside. By the time the Gu family found her, she was already 12 years old.

At that time, Kayla, who was adopted by the Gu family, was almost 11 years old. She had been carefully cared for and groomed. Her talent and appearance received much praise, and she was the apple of Lauren's parents' eye.

Kayla was better in every way compared to Lauren, who had just returned from the countryside. Lauren had also become the shame and stain of the Gu family. She was treated coldly by her father and hated by her mother.

Now, even her fiance had come to this remote and shabby room with the excuse of looking at the lanterns before the wedding to see her sister.

While Lauren thought of those, her eyes turned cold, and the corners of her mouth curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

Since her parents did not love her and made her suffer, she refused to swallow everything and tolerate the torture this life.

She would not let her rebirth go to waste! She would avenge all who wronged her, an eye for an eye!

Feeling the warmth from Wyatt's palms, Lauren calmed down, and her eyes were moist.

She would make up for what happened in her previous life.

She shook her head slightly and looked at Wyatt, who was leaning against a stone statue, with a pleading look in her eyes.

She was telling him that she would be quiet.

Wyatt's body was hidden behind a stone statue. In the shadows, she couldn't see his face clearly, but she knew that he understood her intentions.

Sure enough, after a while, Wyatt moved his hand away, but his cold eyes were still fixed on her face.

Lauren knew that he was warning her that he would shoot her if she tried anything.

A chill ran down her spine. Lauren lowered her voice, her expression a little cautious. "Don't worry. I'll behave myself. I won't expose you. But I smell blood. Are you hurt? Is it serious?"

Lauren knew that he was injured. In her last life, he had injured his leg and had not dealt with it properly. In the end, he had fallen ill, and his leg would hurt every time it rained.

Lauren didn't want him to suffer that kind of pain again, so she tried to remind him to pay attention to his wound.

Looking at her sincere expression, Wyatt narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Was this woman worried about his injury?

Given the circumstances, why didn't she scream? Why was she so calm and even concerned about him?

He looked at her carefully. Although she was in a mess, her face was very delicate. Her eyes were so beautiful that they held one's attention.

He seemed to remember her as the eldest daughter of the Gu family of Cloud City and Lenny's fiancee.

It was said that she had been engaged to Lenny since she was a child. After that, she fell for him and had been waiting for Lenny for many years.

Now that Lenny had returned from studying abroad, he was finally going to marry her. But before they got married, he got together with another woman.

Given the situation, why was Miss Gu not angry but remained so calm?

His eyes narrowed. What was this woman thinking?

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill you!"

A strange man's voice came from outside. Wyatt and Lauren held their breath at the same time. Wyatt's muscles stiffened, and his whole body emitted a kind of killing intent.

"Ah! Lenny!" Kayla screamed, soft and weak, in a way that attracted sympathy.

Lenny stopped her and pulled up the quilt to cover her face and body. Then, he looked at the person at the door and asked in a panic, "Who's there?!"

"Hmm? Isn't it Mr. Meng?" The man seemed to recognize Lenny. After looking around the shabby room, he put down his gun and raised his eyebrows with a wicked smile. "Mr. Meng, how much fun you're having!"

"This... this is a new era. Who cares about such superstitions? What matters now is science!" Lenny plucked up the courage to argue. Looking at the man's appearance, he pulled the clothes next to him and threw the heavy bag of money at the man. He said, "Food and sex are the desires of life. When the opportunity rises, we can't give up a beautiful woman, can we? Please keep the secret for me. I'll give this to you as a gift."

"Well, well. You really know your way around. Hahaha." The hatchet man took the money bag and weighed it. He smiled with satisfaction and couldn't help glancing at the woman in Lenny's arms. He whistled like a hooligan. "Who is this? Is she the future young mistress of the Meng family? The eldest daughter of the Gu family? Or you get another beauty?"

"What is the meaning of that?" Lenny blushed, but he pretended to be serious and said, "The one in my arms is surely my future wife, Miss Gu! I have gone to school and received western education. I have values. Why would I do such a dirty thing?"

"Values?" The hatchet man laughed sarcastically. Lenny was pretending to be a gentleman in a place like this when he was shameless.

"Then I shall not disturb you, Mr. Meng and Miss Gu. Carry on. Hahaha..." The thug waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

As they prepared to leave, a few scattered gunshots echoed from the streets nearby.

Lenny and Kayla were both terrified.

"Kayla, let's get out of here as soon as possible. Something's off today. It's not safe." Lenny said while dressing. The armed people were clearly after someone, and he didn't want to get involved.

However, Kayla remained motionless.

She glanced around, wrapped her naked body around Lenny's back, and asked, "Lenny, after you marry my sister, will you abandon me?"

"Why would I?" Lenny quickly turned and reassured her. "I'm only marrying her temporarily. Once we're married, my father will grant me control of the family, and then I'll divorce her. Later, I'll marry you and make you Mrs. Meng!"

"But... won't you fall for her?" Kayla bit her lip, looking sad. "You haven't seen my sister. She's stunning. I'm worried..."

"So what if she's beautiful? I'm not marrying a vase," Lenny scoffed. "As a country bumpkin, she's never been exposed to Western literature. How could she be a good match for me?"

"Alright, be a good girl. Let's head back," Lenny said, patting her face after getting dressed. "I'll wait for you outside."

As Lenny stepped out and closed the door, Lauren, hidden behind the stone statue, breathed a sigh of relief.

If she had to suppress her emotions any longer, she might have burst out and tried to kill that despicable man.

Lost in thought, she suddenly felt the grip around her waist tighten, and the man behind her assumed a defensive stance.

Lauren was momentarily stunned, but then she heard footsteps approaching.

"Come out," Kayla called. "I know you're behind the statue."

In an instant, the atmosphere around Wyatt grew tense. Lauren watched as he raised his hand, gun in hand...
