Back From Death: Now She's Drowning in Regret

After being killed, Janelle Erwin and I open our eyes to see ourselves standing at a wedding venue.

This time, Janelle chooses to marry her childhood friend, Lance Huff, who has just returned to the country. She's extraordinarily resentful of me, so she doesn't hesitate to kick me out of her company and let Lance take over my position there.

"I will never marry a loser like Wesley! On top of that, he's just a mutt who belongs to the Erwin family!"

But right after Lance takes over North Hill Corporation, the company keeps losing bids one after another. At one point, it was even dragged into a murder case.

Janelle asks me for help again. But this time, she wants me to become the scapegoat for Lance's crimes. After witnessing my rejection, she starts using the deeds of kindness she's done for me in the past just to emotionally manipulate me.

But I just guffaw in Janelle's face as I stare at her.

"I've already paid the Erwins back for their benevolence in my past life! Now, you're the ones owing me in this life!"

"Find her now! If you don't find Janelle today, I'll skin you alive!"

The cane slammed into the wall behind me with a bang, snapping me back to my senses.

I glanced around and was certain I'd returned to the wedding.

Lawrence continued pointing and cursing at me, while the murmurs of the surrounding guests closed in around me.

"I always said that adopted sons are unreliable. He can't even be bothered to go look for his own runaway wife."

"Adopted son? Look at him—he's a total coward. To put it bluntly, he's nothing more than a live-in son-in-law!"

Janelle had disappeared?

I furrowed my brows tightly, a storm of shock surging inside me.

In my previous life, Janelle and I had gone through with the wedding without a hitch. She only gave herself to Lance on our wedding night. I caught them in the act right then and there, but she used the debt of gratitude she claimed I owed her to silence me.

Now, for her to suddenly vanish… Unless she, like me, had also been reborn.

But before I was hacked to death with knives, Janelle had already drained all the funds and run off with Lance.

Could it be that something happened to them as well?

The pain of betrayal clung to me like a shadow. I took several deep breaths just to barely
