Hearing the words “poisoning,” I was completely stunned.
Poisoning?
You’ve got to be kidding!
Who would poison me?
I floated in the air, my mind buzzing.
The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm.
“The cause of Sophia’s death was poisoning. We detected an excessive amount of arsenic toxin in her blood.”

“I’ve already sent the detailed autopsy report to your email. You can take a careful look.”
Lucas hung up the phone and opened his email with trembling hands.
In the email was a lengthy autopsy report of over a dozen pages.
The dense professional terms made my eyes blur.
But I still tried hard to read on.
As I delved deeper into the report’s contents, my expression became increasingly grim.
I finally understood everything.
I also understood why the system said my death was abnormal and might be delayed for a few days.
Because I didn’t die from the surgery or complications, but was poisoned to death by Zoe!
From the very beginning, Zoe never intended to let me live.
When I was pushed into the icy lake, Zoe had taken the opportunity to put poison in the medicine Lucas gave me.
And the reason she deliberately spilled the medicine that day was to completely destroy the evidence.
She thought she had done it perfectly.
But what she never expected was that Lucas didn’t immediately cremate my body, but secretly had an autopsy done.
Now, the truth was out.
Lucas’s face was terrifyingly gloomy.
His eyes burned with raging fury.
He gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white.
After a while, Lucas dialed Zoe’s number, his tone icy.
“Zoe, let’s meet.”
Hearing that Lucas wanted to meet her, Zoe’s voice was immediately filled with joy.
“Sure, Lucas.
On the other end of the phone, Zoe still thought Lucas was going to propose to her.
But she could never have imagined that what awaited her was hell.
“Meet at the usual place.”
Lucas said, then hung up the phone.
He started the car and drove towards the meeting place.
Along the way, his mind was constantly filled with memories of me and him together.
My smile, my gentleness, my thoughtfulness…
All of this made his heart ache like a knife.
And all of this had been destroyed by Zoe.
He hated Zoe, wanted to tear her to pieces.

In contrast, Zoe had arrived at the meeting place early.
She had even specially worn a pure white long dress today, and her hair was carefully styled.
Her face was beaming with a happy smile, as if she could already see herself walking down the aisle with Lucas.
But she was completely unaware that the shadow of death was already looming over her head.
Lucas’s car slowly stopped in front of Zoe.
She opened the car door and got out, but his face was still terrifyingly gloomy.
Seeing Lucas’s expression was clearly off, Zoe immediately asked cautiously:
“Lucas, what’s wrong?”
But Lucas just looked straight into Zoe’s eyes and got straight to the point:
“Zoe, why did you kill Sophia?”
Hearing this, Zoe’s face instantly turned pale.
She tried to maintain her composure and immediately played dumb:
“Lucas, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Lucas sneered and slammed the autopsy report on the table.
“Now, do you understand?”
Zoe’s face alternated between shades of green and white.
She could no longer pretend.
“Lucas, you really did fall for her.”
“She was just a lowly dog, trying to get close to you. I couldn’t stand it so I killed her, what’s wrong with that?”
She sneered, her tone full of disdain.
Lucas roared:
“That’s still no reason for you to kill her!”
Zoe no longer tried to hide, revealing her ugly face.
“If I didn’t kill her, how could I marry you? How could I inherit your family’s fortune?”
“Since it’s been exposed, it doesn’t matter.”
“I can pretend nothing happened. After we’re married, we’ll split the money and each do our own thing.”
Hearing this, Lucas’s heart completely cooled.
The woman he once loved deeply was actually so despicable and shameless.
Lucas said coldly:
“I gave you a chance.”
But Zoe looked confused.
“What chance?”
The next moment hele

Then she clutched her chest and fell to the ground in agony.
“You… you poisoned me?‘
She struggled to get out a few words.
Lucas looked at her coldly, without saying anything.
“I want you to suffer a hundred times the pain Sophia did!”
After saying this, Lucas also picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
“Of course, I’m deeply sinful too.”
“Sophia, if fate allows, let’s meet again in the next life.”
He smiled bitterly and slowly closed his eyes.
Just then, I heard the system’s prompt.
“System repair complete. Host can return to the original world at any time.”
I sighed, never expecting that this seven–year strategy would end with such a twist of fate.
Then, I reorganized my thoughts and returned to my own world.
As for everything in this world, I’ll just treat it as a dream.
When I returned to the real world, my husband had indeed recovered, as expected.
After seven years of separation, I immediately told him everything.
The next moment, we hugged each other tightly, feeling each other’s warmth.
From now on, I just want to live a good life and have a simple, happy life with my husband.
After all, no amount of money can buy time. Only by cherishing the people in front of
