The Traitor Came Crawling Back

News of my groom's death arrived, but I shed no tears. Instead, I quickly reclaimed his shares and had his death officially recorded.

Why? I was reborn.

In my previous life, my family had adopted three boys to accompany me since childhood, all of whom were potential candidates to be my husband.

As the heiress of the wealthiest family in the country, my father feared I wouldn't be happy marrying someone else we weren't familiar with.

I chose Jayden, the most capable of the three brothers—but just three days after the wedding, he passed away.

In my grief, I gave up on remarriage. With Jesse and Joel's persuasion, I lived the rest of my life as a widow.

Upon reaching eighty, I went to Massalia, where we once pledged our love. There, I encountered Jayden…who had supposedly died sixty years ago!

He was living with my maid, who had gone missing decades ago, surrounded by children and grandchildren, living a happy and contented life.

When I realized I had been deceived my whole life, I was so enraged that my vision suddenly darkened. I died of a brain hemorrhage on the spot.

When I awoke, I had returned to the day the news of his death had arrived.

Let's see how a man who should have died intended to continue living!

"Jayden spent his short life by your side, Lauren. He braved the storms to conduct the site visit on the mountain for you. Now that he's gone, you must never remarry, or he'd be heartbroken."

"By the way, why don't you transfer Jayden's shares to the two of us? We'll protect everything he left behind together with you."

Hearing those familiar voices, I immediately shot upright in bed.

Miraculously, I had been reborn on the very day Jayden Scott faked his death and eloped with his lover!

"Where's Nellie?" I asked.

My question left Jayden's brothers, Jesse and Joel, stunned.

"Jayden just died and you couldn't care less, but now you're asking about a maid's whereabouts?"

"Are we that worthless to you?"

Seeing the anger and embarrassment on their faces, I chuckled instead of replying.

"Now that Jayden is dead, I will revoke every share transferred to him. Robin, come with me to the police station. We're terminating his citizenship and getting a death certificate!"

My assistant Robin immediately followed.

Jesse and Joel simply stood there, dumbfounded.

"Lauren! How could you be so heartless and take back everything that was his after he just passed away? Shouldn't you let us split the shares between us?"

Even as I met their red eyes, I didn't slow down. In my past life, after I learned of Jayden's death, I fainted from all the crying. I vowed to remain a widow forever, all for his sake. As for his shares, I quietly instructed them to be transferred to Jesse and Joel.

But when I saw Jayden and the nanny Nellie abroad in Massalia as a family, I immediately realized something was wrong.
