"The Chairman of the Stonefield Group is the victim of a fatal car accident on the eve of his wedding..."
This is the last news Mary Stonefield woke up to, broadcast over the ground-floor TV.
Mary stares at the ceiling, her once-scattered memories, gradually becoming clearer.
She remembers that the night before their marriage, she was excited about her wedding the next day. She couldn't wait to marry her fiancé, whom she had deeply loved for five years. However, she received a sudden call from her best friend, Ava Davis, informing her of a problem at the wedding venue and asking her to come immediately.
Due to her busy work schedule, her fiancé and best friend have always managed the wedding arrangements. As soon as she learned of the problem, she left home immediately, without hesitation.
But...
How did she get into a car accident after getting into the vehicle? She couldn't remember anything about it.
It was quite late at that time, there must have been very few vehicles on the road, moreover going from her house to the wedding venue, so it was near impossible for a car accident to happen. How did she end up in a fatal car accident?
No matter how hard Mary tried to recall, she could not remember those moments before the accident.
Suddenly, a ruthless reporter's question blared from the television below the building: "Mr. Brad, based on our investigation your fiancée had a car accident late at night, knowing that the next day was your wedding, why did she leave so late at night, could you please answer that?"
After a long moment, the choked voice of Brad Smith finally emerged, sadder than ever. Even without seeing him, just hearing his sorrow-laden voice made it easy to imagine his heart-breaking turmoil. "Mary's death has plunged me into deep sorrow. She usually has to stay up late for work, but I never thought that she would leave so late the eve our wedding, and what I certainly didn’t expect was..."
As he spoke, Brad’s voice started to tremble even more due to sadness. It was clear that he was struggling to get over the loss of his fiancée. "We were supposed to get married the next day and now Mary will never come back... the only thing I can do for her now is to manage the company well."
Whatever Brad and the reporters discussed next, Mary could no longer bear to listen. The reason that she'd left so late that night was completely because Ava had reported a problem with the wedding venue and suggested that Brad was also there. So, why when faced with the media questioning did Brad pretend to know nothing?
Mary vaguely suspected that her death might be hiding some kind of a conspiracy.
It couldn't have been just a simple car accident!
While Mary was lost in thought, a harsh voice came from a young girl downstairs. "Oh, this Brad is so handsome, and so in love, what a shame. Mom, don't you think it's too bad that slut Isabella Fortunate didn't get hit by a car and die?"
"Of course, those lowly people have a cheap fate, how could they die so easily?"
Anna Morgan's sharp voice rang out, simultaneously turning off the TV with her remote, and getting up, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and check up on that slut."
Following that, the sound of the mother and daughter climbing stairs could be heard.
Mary, lying on the bed in the room, furrowed her eyebrows, swiftly contemplating her current identity.
Isabella, the pampered daughter of the Fortunate family, lost her mother at a young age and suffered constant abuse in the twenty years since her father married a mistress and brought her into the house.
As for this Fortunate family, Mary was very familiar with them due to past business dealings. They were also one of the prestigious and wealthy families of the city, but unfortunately, Isabella was always the subject of ridicule among the high society ladies.
This time, because of the upcoming marriage alliance between the Fortunate family and the knock-out Ashton family, Anna and Sophia Fortunate, fearing that Isabella might attract the other party's attention, pushed the non-swimmer Isabella into the swimming pool, and caused her death, allowing Mary to be reborn into her body.
Yes, she had been reborn.
It was something Mary never expected would happen to her, a plot twist that only happened in novels, which was completely contrary to scientific logic.
However, since fate had granted her a second chance to come back to life, she was determined to investigate the truth about her death and never suffer any more abuse from the Fortunate family!
