Reborn: Wealth Over Love

The day my husband, Ethan Hart, posted wedding photos in a bridal gown with the college girl he was sponsoring on his social media, I didn't fly into hysterics like I usually did. Instead, I gave them a like.

I even left a comment: [Such a perfect match. Let's all wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness.]

People in our circle said I was the most pathetic wife alive, letting the mistress walk all over me without resistance.

A week later, he came home and explained, "It was just an act. Her grandfather is sick. Before he dies, he wants to see her get married."

I nodded calmly. "I didn't take it seriously. I believe you."

In my previous life, I had stormed into their wedding ceremony that very day and caused a scene, ruining their wedding.

To punish me, Ethan went after my parents' company. He drove them into bankruptcy and forced them to jump to their deaths.

And I was sent to a mental hospital by that woman, tortured until I truly went insane.

So in this life, reborn with everything laid bare, I no longer crave his love. All I want is his money.

Every time he cheats, I transfer a portion of the assets under his name.

Three chances remain.

After that, he will have nothing left.

I looked at Ethan Hart, my tone steady and calm.

He studied my face carefully. When he saw no sign of anger, the deep crease between his brows finally eased.

Smiling, he pulled me into his arms. "Celia, I'm glad you understand. Sophie is just playful by nature. And with her grandfather gravely ill, I really had no choice."

I leaned obediently against his chest, but inside, I sneered.

In my previous life, it was precisely because I couldn't accept his so-called "no choice" that I rushed out and made a scene.

To vent his anger on Sophie's behalf, he ruthlessly crushed my parents' company, forcing them into bankruptcy and driving them to jump to their deaths.

I was dragged into a psychiatric hospital by him, forced to take medication, subjected to electric shocks, and beaten by the orderlies.

Sophie Collins would occasionally come to see me, nestling in Ethan's arms and mocking me for being like a pathetic dog.

In the end, I died on a bitterly cold winter night.

That was why, from the very first day I was reborn, I began secretly planning to transfer the assets under his name.

This time, I no longer believed in a man's love. I believed only in the money I could hold in my own hands.

Ethan kept talking to himself. "By the way, today is our third wedding anniversary. I'll make it up to you properly. I promise—no one will disturb us tonight."

He raised three fingers solemnly, swearing an oath.

I nodded and replied sweetly, "All right. Whatever you say."

Seeing how agreeable I was, Ethan's mood lifted immediately.

Over the next few hours,
