My name was Charlotte Clark.
On my 30th birthday, the poor guy I married years ago spent a fortune of one billion dollars

husband.
Every day, he either bought me jewelry or took me shopping for luxury goods.
I loved emeralds, so he chose the biggest and most expensive ones. Diamonds were delivered to me by the pound.
His every word and action made me feel like the most cherished woman on earth. Everyone in Lyrinia envied me.
“Charlotte, you’re so lucky. Who would’ve thought that the poor guy from back then would now be a business tycoon everyone in Lyrinia wants to get close to?”
Madison, the fake heir, spoke with a sour tone. She probably had another argument with her
playboy husband last night. Her eyes were still swollen.
She looked so defeated and haggard it broke my mother Sarah Clark’s heart.
She immediately took Madison’s hand and gently comforted her, saying, “You know, Jaxon
Bennett originally wanted to marry you. If you hadn’t married that playboy, you could have been
Mrs. Bennett now, living in luxury. But sadly, life doesn’t give us second chances. Charlotte, the
wealth you enjoy now, Madison allowed you to have. You must remember Madison’s kindness
and not just think about living a comfortable life…
I thought, “Listen to this. Can anyone believe these are words from my own parents? Madison is just their adopted daughter. Apart from being good at playing the poor thing, what connection
does she have with them by blood? It’s as if I, their biological daughter, was adopted.”
“You two enjoy your meal.”
It was my birthday today, and I had hoped to hear some words of blessing from them.
But clearly, I was just dreaming.
I turned and walked away decisively.
As I stepped toward Jaxon, a loud bang sounded above my head, and countless flower petals rained down.
Jaxon kneeled before me.
“Charlotte, I was so poor when I married you. Thank you for always supporting and standing by me. They say men become bad when they have money, but this is my promise!”
Jaxon had his assistant bring out everything he owned.
He promised that he would never change his heart, and if he did, he would return to being a 口 poor man.
This action immediately sparked gossip among our friends and family.
“Did you see that? These two men are like two extremes.”
“Yeah, one’s a playboy, the other’s a devoted husband. Charlotte truly is the real heir of the

“Yeah, one’s a playboy, the other’s a devoted husband, Charlotte truly is the real heir of the Clark family. No matter how much Madison is favored, the Clark family will always reserve the best for their biological daughter.”
“I heard Madison’s husband, the playboy, never spends the night at home. He even has illegitimate children, more than one…”
The chatter was too loud.
I didn’t pay much attention, lost in Jaxon’s deep affection, not noticing the hatred in
Madison’s eyes.
The next morning, when I was driving alone after leaving the hospital, planning to tell Jaxon that he was going to be a father, my brakes suddenly falled.
I was already in a panic.
And at that moment, Madison drove straight into me.
“Charlotte, I was supposed to be the favored Mrs. Bennett. You stole my happy life. Since I’ve
had enough of living, let’s die together!”
Madison’s face twisted with malice as she slammed me into the cold ocean waters.
The car quickly sank.
I desperately banged on the windows, trying to escape, hoping to save myself and my baby, but the endless water swallowed us up….
When I opened my eyes again, I heard fireworks outside.
“Charlotte, even if you drag it out for another two or three hours, you’ll still have to marry
Jaxon. If it weren’t for him acting in time, your father would have been dead long ago. You can’t compare to Madison. She’s not even our biological daughter. She’s under no obligation to repay our favors. Now hurry up and get ready.”
Sarah’s voice shocked me.
I thought, “Hadn’t I drowned, along with the car, sinking to the bottom of the sea?”
1 I quickly sat up.
Looking into the mirror, I saw my flawless skin, my slim waist, and my face so youthful that it
seemed to radiate collagen.
This was amazing. I had been reborn, back to the day I first married Jaxon.
At this point, Jaxon was still poor.
There was no wedding car.
I didn’t wear a wedding dress. I just changed into a long pink gown for the wedding.
av
The reason I kept delaying it wasn’t because I didn’t want to marry Jaxon but because I was testing whether this poor guy was truly worthy of my lifelong commitment.
It happened to be the hottest part of summer. Jaxon had been waiting for me outside in scorching sun, and I knew, then and there, that I would marry him without any hesitation.
Having lived another life, I didn’t want Jaxon to suffer anymore.

I quickly twisted the doorknob.
Before stepping out, I saw Madison dressed in a pure white wedding dress, her eyes r “Mom, the one Jaxon truly loves is actually me.”
“Uh?” Sarah froze.
red.
Madison blushed and said, “Mom, I’ll prove it to you.” Then she lifted the hem of her dress and went downstairs.
I silently closed the door and walked over to the window.
Just in time to see Jaxon and Madison in a tight embrace.
No matter how Madison had convinced Jaxon, this hug only confirmed one thing to Sarah. Jaxon and Madison were the real couple.
As for the great heir in the Lyrinia who still hadn’t come to greet the bride…
Sarah suggested, “Since Charlotte doesn’t want to marry Jaxon, why don’t we let her marry Dominic instead?”
My father, Thomas Clark, nodded. “The Montgomery family has a good background, and Madison is so sensible. She always feels like she owes Charlotte, which is why she’s been so self–sacrificing. If only Charlotte were half as thoughtful as Madison.”
Madison had taken Jaxon from me, yet in their eyes. She was the one enduring hardships.
Madison was always well–behaved, excellent in school, and talented in various arts, making them proud.
As for me, their biological daughter, whom they only found two years ago…
Since I wasn’t raised by them, I was different in many ways. They saw me as reclusive and hard to get along with. The fact that they rescued me from that poor mountain village was already enough to consider me lucky.
They didn’t even ask for my opinion. They had already decided to replace the groom.
I thought, “Isn’t that laughable?”
When I was about to marry Jaxon, they said I shouldn’t rely on them and that I should work hard while young.
But now, with Madison marrying Jaxon, they were offering cars and houses, practically giving everything from the Clark family away to support her.
It almost felt like Madison was their real daughter.
“Charlotte, this time, the glamorous Mrs. Bennett will be me. You can only marry Dominic Montgomery, that playboy. Bye now.”
Seeing the sorrow in my eyes, Madison smugly hummed a tune, then was swept away by Jaxon into the wedding car.
I couldn’t help but feel confused.
At this point, Dominic wasn’t yet the playboy he would later become, but Madison already knew what was coming. So she must have also been reborn!

in Lyrinia ten years later. They think I come from a poor mountain village, but they have no idea
that the family who adopted me, the Marshall family, is the real Lyrinia’s elite. My several older
brothers spoiled me, and of course, they supported my career with everything they had. Jaxon
knows that I made him who he is. As long as I’m by his side, his wealth and power will never
fade. That’s why he showers me with love and attention. But now, Madison shows kindness, and he agrees to marry her, not because he loves her so much, but because he sees how advantageous it is for him. Jaxon has always been this way. Whoever is good for him, he treats
them well.”
By the time night fell, Dominic still hadn’t shown up. He only sent a driver to pick me up.
The driver apologized.
I smiled slightly. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. When we get to the Montgomery Manor, please lece
know.”
I closed my eyes, Dominic’s face filling my mind.
