The guests buzzed.
It was Jason. He’d finally made his move.
“Look! Hannah and Mark, the hypocritical
pair, look what they’ve been up to!”
Childhood photos of Jason and me appeared.
“We were childhood sweethearts! We were
deeply in love! But Mark, this homewrecker,

seduced Hannah. They conspired to steal my
inheritance! They don’t deserve to lead Lin Corporation or inherit Zhou Corporation!” Jason cried theatrically, evoking sympathy. “I heard Hannah was supposed to marry the eldest Zhou son. Why the change?”
“There was never a fifth Zhou son. This is a
homewrecker!”
“That’s what I thought. They grew up
together. It has to be true. The heiress isn’t
as trustworthy as she seems. Lin Corporation
is doomed!”
Public opinion turned against me. Before I could speak, Jason’s mother burst out,
“Hannah, you heartless woman! You got
pregnant with my son’s child, and now you’re
leaving him for this illegitimate son! Don’t you
have a conscience?!“.
Uproar.
Jason feigned strength, holding his mother.

“Mother, stop! I told you not to say anything!
Hannah betrayed me, but I still can’t bring
myself to go public with this!”
“Grandpa Lin, I won’t interfere. But please, let Hannah keep the baby. It’s my only wish.”
A camera in the corner was livestreaming the
event.
Netizens flooded in.
“Lin’s family is supposed to have strict
morals, yet they raised someone like this!”
“Mark looks like a gigolo, climbing the social ladder shamelessly!”
“I know! Hannah and the eldest son went to
the same high school and university. She’s
definitely a cheating homewrecker.”
Mark was about to explain, but I stopped him. We knew Jason wouldn’t give up, and despite the attacks, Mark felt sorry for me.
I squeezed his hand and faced Jason.
The calmer I was, the more anxious Jason.

became. He whined, “Hannah, are you still
mocking me?”
I looked at Jason and asked sternly, “Jason
Zhou, I’ll ask again. You claim you and I were childhood sweethearts, and secretly pledged our lives to each other, right?”
Jason frowned, but replied, “Of course, we
grew up together. You said you’d marry
me…
“Oh? Then what’s this?”
I tapped my phone. The screen showed
pictures of Lily and Jason kissing and being intimate in various locations, including some from their high school years.
After my rebirth, I investigated Lily and Jason.
Their relationship was even earlier than I
imagined.
Shock rippled through the guests.
Jason’s face flashed with surprise, but he
quickly denied it. “It’s not real. Hannah, not
<
only did you cheat, you photoshopped
pictures to frame me! Do you have any
morals?!”
“Oh?” My gaze was amused.
Jason panicked but still denied it.
“Photos can be photoshopped. What about the hotel records and security footage?”
I tapped again. The screen showed hotel records and footage of Jason and Lily
entering a room together. It was one of the
Zhou family’s core hotels.
Jason hadn’t expected that in a month, Mark had already gained access to Zhou
Corporation’s core departments and obtained
these records.
The online viewers went crazy.
“Wow, this guy is a player!”
“No way! He said he was deeply in love with
her, but he was with another woman. I
wouldn’t marry him either!”
L
“A twist? Did Hannah get pregnant?”
“I don’t know. This is messy.”
Jason was deflated. He hadn’t expected me
to be so prepared, to have uncovered his past actions.
But Jason’s mother wouldn’t give up.
“What about the baby? It’s Lin’s heir! Will you abandon it?”
“My son wanted to have fun before the
wedding, but you shouldn’t ignore the child
and marry someone else!”
I sneered, bringing Lily in.
“Who’s actually pregnant? It’s not hard to figure out!”
Lily clutched her stomach, clinging to Jason.
“Jason, I’m really pregnant. Marry me! I want
to be with you forever!”
Seeing Lily, Jason changed, trying to kick her
away.
“Get away from me! I don’t want your child!”

Lily clung to him, “We’ve been together for six
months, Jason. This is our child!”
Jason tried to push her away, but he couldn’t explain himself.
Mr. Zhou and my grandfather had enough and had them removed.
Jason, still defiant, yelled, “Hannah, what’s so great about Mark? Don’t you see those two
men following him? Only criminals are
watched like that!”
I looked at Mark, who nodded, stepped
forward.
“I can explain.”
“I’m a key researcher in a state–level research.
facility. My bodyguards were assigned to
protect me.”
A gasp went through the crowd.
Mr. Zhou looked at Mark with pride.
Jason was hysterical, but I was still worried.
He could hurt me, but he shouldn’t involve
L
Mark.
“Jason Zhou, since you care so much, I have
a little something for you.”
I played a video of Lily being intimate with a
tall man. She was submissive, he was
domineering.
The audience understood.
Jason froze, turning to slap Lily.
The livestream was shut down.
But the wedding of the Lin heiress and the
military researcher received widespread
blessings.
Jason and Lily disappeared.
After the wedding, I asked Mark why he chose
- me.
He recounted a childhood memory: he was
bullied and I defended him.
In college, I’d overheard a professor talking
about a special student, and I’d defended him
without knowing his connection to the Zhou
family.
Later, Zhou Corporation’s shares were
transferred to our child’s name. Mark
continued to serve his country at the institute.
And I, no matter how busy, always made time to pick him up.
We lived happily ever after.
