I Refused To Be Picked For Marriage

Silas Jordan drew lots, which resulted in me being chosen as his wife. He hated me for getting his childhood sweetheart killed. Hence, he tortured me to death.

But after I died, deep remorse overwhelmed him.

After I returned to the past, I first rigged the lottery to help him get together with his childhood lover. However, there were endless new comments on the screen. They were from readers of the novel I was trapped in.

[Based on the plot, the male lead will pick the female lead. Then, the male lead’s childhood lover will kill herself. When the female lead gets tortured to death, the male lead starts regretting it. But why would this miserable novel change when the female lead rigged the lottery?]

It was because I no longer wished to marry him again.

As everyone looked down, the witness read out the name in Silas Jordan’s hand.

“Clara Smith.”

Multiple comments quickly bloomed in front of me.

[What’s going on? Shouldn’t it be Jane Smith?!]

[Look! It seems like… Isn’t Jane the female lead?]

[Why did she suddenly end up as the second female lead?]

[Look! Clara replaced her as the female lead!]

Two families had an engagement with the Smith Family.

One of them was the powerful Jordan family in Aregas. The other was the Cook Family, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Initially, I was the one who was engaged to Silas.

However, he could not reconcile with the idea of marrying someone who was about to go bankrupt.

To be fair, Adam Smith, my father, was the one who came up with the idea of drawing lots. He wanted to give that spot to Clara.

In my previous life, I had been infatuated with Silas. I even tampered with the drawing lots just to marry him.

I believed that as long as I married him, he would one day fall in love with me.

But unexpectedly, my wishful thinking never came to pass.

In this life, I was going to reset the script.

Silas read the words on the stick in shock.

Clara slowly walked toward Silas while everyone else was cheering.

[The male lead wanted to marry Jane. What’s going on?!]

[Didn’t Jane tamper with the sticks? Regardless, she should be picked instead!]

[The male lead looks calm. But I’m sure he must be losing his mind.]

I stood below the stage.

As if it had nothing to do with me, I watched them like the other thousands of guests.

The Jordan Family started preparing for the wedding ceremony after that day, but the Cook Family remained silent.

As Adam summoned Clara and me over to his side, his face glowed.

“I’m sure your mom would be glad to see you guys finally settle down. Pick a piece of jewelry at the auction tonight as part of your wedding gift.”

Clara sweetly thanked him and coquettishly threw herself into his arms.

I remained where I was while watching their sweet family moment
