In her previous life, Zoey was killed before realizing that she had misidentified the man who saved her life back then. After being reborn, she kicked away the scumbag man and vowed to take back all the honors she once gifted to her enemies. The most important thing, firmly hold onto the scumbag's uncle's disabled thighs. Some people say: That Zoey, has nothing but borrowing Russell's influence. Financial tycoons, medical godfathers, beautiful movie queens, and tech gurus have all come forward: "Sorry, our zoey never rely on men." The whole network is in an uproar! Everyone is guessing what their relationship was. The next day the video came out, a certain disabled guy not only stood up, but also blocked the little petite wife in the corner, "Zoey, you are mine!"

Can We Be in Love in the Next Life?

"Zoey, enjoy the last few minutes of being able to breathe freely! Soon, your heart will be inside my body!"

Hospital operating room.

Zoey Harmon was completely immobilized on the operating table and couldn't move.

Just after the car accident, she is now in so much pain that she is almost suffocating.

The overhead light cast a shadow on her face as she incredulously looked at her sister dressed in a patient gown.

"Why!"

"Why?" Ariana Harmon reached out and poked her chest, her lips curling into a sinister smile.

“You should blame yourself for today's suffering, why do you always have to be better than me on everything!"

“Did you really think I cared about you?” Ariana scoffed, "If I hadn’t pretended to be kind, would you have handed over your designs, worked as my voice double, or trusted me enough to drink that juice mixed with sedatives before the accident?"

“Do you remember the fire at the bar ten years ago? That was my doing! Those thugs I hired were useless—they couldn’t even finish you off, so I had to step in!"

"Oh, by the way, the rumor about you being involved in abortion was also spread by me. But you should thank me, those eight years you were sent abroad by grandpa, you learned quite a few skills. However, they were all used by me, aren't you particularly unwilling?"

"Don't worry, after you die, I will give you a grand burial, and everyone in the world will know that after you had a car accident, you donated your heart to your beloved sister, allowing me to live on in your place. It's deeply moving!"

Ariana pressed down on Zoey's fractured leg bone, which was bloody and mangled, causing Zoey to feel intense pain and break out in a cold sweat, her face turning pale.

Zoey had endless hatred in her heart.

Eight years, she was exiled abroad for eight years.

Apart from her grandfather, only Ariana showed concern for her.

Updating her on the news back home, even helping her connect with her fiancé, Nelson Maddox and occasionally visiting her in Corbourne.

She believed in herself so much.

Ariana wanted to be a singer, so she did voice dub for her; Ariana wanted to bulid a brand, so she provided her with design drafts...

She thought Ariana was the best person to her in this cold house, apart from her grandfather.

Who could have known it had all been a lie.

The affection she had always longed for, it turned out, was all built upon interests.

"Ah!" The hand on her leg exerted more force, and Zoey screamed in pain.

"Does it hurt? Every day that you steal the limelight from me, I hurt like this! Zoey, don't be afraid, Grandpa has been waiting for you down below, waiting for your heart to be dug out so you can keep him company," Ariana's face was filled with madness.

A gush of salty sweetness surged up, and Zoey’s lips were stained with bright red blood.

"Ariana! You’ll never die peacefully!"

"Anyway, you wouldn't have seen that day." Ariana laughed arrogantly.

The operating room door opened, and Nelson and the medical team walked in.

"Nelson, Nelson, call the police!" Zoey shouted with all her strength, looking at her fiancé.

But unexpectedly, the man just sneered lightly, looking down at Zoey from a high position, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

"You stole Ariana's design draft, poisoned her vocal cords, and even messed around with abortion. I wish you were dead."

"You..." Zoey's words were cut off by Nelson, who used a piece of medical gauze to cover her mouth.

"Save your energy, perhaps later you would have seen the scene of your heart being ripped out of your body."

"I didn't originally want to kill you, after all, you helped me steal so many trade secrets. No pain, no gain. But who made you unlucky enough to be involved with Ariana."

“Since you’re about to die, I might as well tell you. I’ve been with Ariana for years. That night in the fire, it wasn’t me who saved you—it was Russell!”

“These past two months, we tried many ways to finish you off, but Russell kept interfering. I don’t know what he saw in you! But tonight, your time’s up. He fell into my trap trying to save you, so he’ll meet the reaper first.”

Zoey's eyes were filled with shock, anger, and then pain, as tears slid down her cheeks.

No wonder. No wonder Nelson looked surprised when she once thanked him for saving her life.

No wonder she heard that Russell Maddox had injured his waist and was sent abroad for treatment overnight after that night.

Has she really loved the wrong person all these years?

It was really ridiculous! It was so sad!

She was so angry, angry at herself for being so blind to entrust her whole life to Nelson, this scumbag.

She hated herself so much for trusting her snake of a sister, and even brought her grandfather down with her .

She hated herself even more for mistaking her savior and involving the innocent Russell.

Unfortunately, everything was too late.

"The surgery began! The donor did not need to be injected with anesthesia!"

The surgeon used a scalpel to cut open the skin on Zoey's chest. She watched as her heart was taken out and placed in a tray, lifeless, like a dead dog.

She became lighter and transparent, floating in mid-air. She watched as her chest was opened, her organs exposed. She saw Nelson's cold and merciless expression, and witnessed the doctor cutting open Ariana's chest, preparing for a heart transplant.

Bang!

The operating room door was forcefully kicked open by someone.

A crowd of people rushed in, led by a man wearing a black overcoat. He stood tall and exuded an air of nobility and arrogance from head to toe.

Seeing Zoey's lifeless and blood-soaked state, his usually calm eyes instantly filled with panic.

Was he too late?

"Zoey..."

Russell's heart ached almost to the point of suffocation, and he stumbled with unsteady steps, his voice trembling, "I'm sorry, I came late."

He slowly took off the string of purple sandalwood beads from his wrist and put it on Zoey's wrist.

He held her icy hand, his eyes filled with lifelessness.

"Russell, you didn't die? You're not in a wheelchair anymore? Your legs have healed?" Nelson swallowed hard.

Zoey was also surprised, when did Russell's leg get better?

She didn't even realize how deeply he had hidden.

Russell suddenly lifted his eyelids, his gaze fixed firmly on Nelson, who was being forced to kneel on the ground by someone. His eyes were filled with terrifying murderous intent, causing Nelson to tremble in fear immediately.

"Russell, spare my life! I beg you, I am your own nephew!"

Russell walked up to him, his eyes filled with a chilling frost, and a cold, pitch-black barrel pressed against his forehead.

"You killed her, so go and accompany her in her burial!"

Zoey floated in the air, unable to watch Russell commit the crime, as it would cost him his life.

She wanted to snatch the gun from the man's hand, but she missed.

The sound of bangs echoed above the operating room.

Everyone involved in the surgery was lying on the ground in disarray.

She witnessed Russell killing everyone with her own eyes, and then brought her body to the seaside, and he sat on the beach for a whole night.

The moment the sun jumped out of the sea level, Russell finally lifted his eyelids and said, "Didn't you say that you haven't seen a sunrise yet, and haven't fallen in love, so you don't want to die? How come you left?"

This sentence is what Zoey said in the fire scene, and he still remembers it now.

Russell choked up and said, "Zoey, I watched the sunrise with you. How about we make a pact to be in love in the next life?"

After saying that, he immediately raised the gun and pressed it against his temple without hesitation.

Zoey was taken aback and then went crazy, lunging forward as if to grab the man's hand, but her hand passed through his arm. "No, please!"

The sound of gunshots was engulfed by the surging tide, and Zoey watched as the man fell on the beach, crying out in anguish.

She covered her face with both hands and broke down completely.

Suddenly, her body was violently torn and twisted by a mysterious force.

"Don't!"

Zoey suddenly opened her eyes wide!

Rebirth and Revenge Starts

In front of her eyes was a bright dressing table mirror. Zoey looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in professional attire and with her hair tied up, and for a moment, she was stunned.

Looking around, she was in the room of the Harmon family.

The room was very small and had been cluttered with miscellaneous items. It was simply renovated before she came back.

Zoey raised her hand and placed it on her chest, as the sound of her heart beating rapidly echoed.

She didn't die.

Did she actually not die?

"Zoey, have you finished tidying up? We agreed to meet at this time to go to the Candy Shop, don't be late."

Ariana's voice sounded outside the door.

Familiar attire, familiar words.

Candy Shop?

Wasn't that two years ago?

Two years ago, Nelson found her and said that the Harmon family and the Maddox family had an engagement, and he hoped she would become his wife.

She was full of excitement back then, after all, the man in front of her was her lifesaver.

But Nelson had told her he wanted to marry her after achieving success, as he was under pressure at that time , it was mainly from the head of the Maddox family, Russell, and could not offer her the life she deserved. So they had agreed to an engagement.

Nelson hoped that she could help him, and Zoey immediately agreed.

And so, Nelson placed her next to Russell as his chief secretary.

Over the next two years, she had stolen numerous secrets using her skills, ultimately paving the way for Nelson’s rise and Russell’s fall from grace.

Zoey now realizes that Russell did not lack suspicion of her, but rather indulged in her behavior.

As Zoey realized that she had been reborn two years ago, her eyes darkened.

In her past life, she was used by others and did so many foolish things that caused harm to her true lifesaver. Her grandfather died tragically, her heart was dug out, and she even caused Russell to shoot himself.

In this life, she would no longer be used by others!

She wanted the scumbag and the bitch to receive the punishment they deserved!

She had to repay Russell well!

According to the timeline, tomorrow night is the engagement banquet. She had to gather the evidence before that.

"Zoey?" Ariana's voice sounded again from outside the door, and Zoey shivered at the thought of what she had done in her past life.

How long do you think you can pretend for!

Zoey got up and opened the door, only to see Ariana wearing a beautiful knee-length dress, stepping on seven-inch high heels, and with exquisite makeup.

"I felt a bit uncomfortable in my stomach, could you help me go and choose with Nelson?"

"Me?"

Ariana's eyes flickered with a hint of joy, which Zoey noticed.

"Do we need to go to the hospital?" she asked, pretending to be concerned.

"No need, just take a nap."

"Okay then." Ariana nodded, barely able to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth. "So Nelson and I will go, and we'll take pictures for you to choose from later."

"Okay."

As Zoey watched Ariana's departing figure, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

She closed the door and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, watching as Ariana got into the black Rolls-Royce.

The car did not drive towards the Candy Shop, but instead headed towards the outskirts in the opposite direction.

Zoey chuckled and turned around to sit in front of the computer desk, opening her laptop. Her fingers flew across the keyboard.

After finishing everything, she changed into sportswear, took out a small object from the suitcase, and left the house.

On the bed of a suburban villa, two figures were entangled in a fierce struggle.

"Nelson, who do you think was better, Zoey or me?"

"Of course it was you, that disgusting bitch, I wouldn't even touch her."

***

The two of them were whispering sweet nothings to each other, and when their emotions became intense, they let out a series of low growls.

Zoey listened outside and almost vomited.

In her past life, she already knew about this villa, but back then Nelson told her that it was used by the company for entertaining guests.

Who would host banquets in the countryside?

Sure enough, she guessed right.

The people inside were still going on, while Zoey securely placed the tiny camera, the size of a soybean, in her hand and quickly left.

In the evening, the family sat around the dining table.

Ariana took out candies and peeled one for each person.

"Zoey, was it delicious?"

Zoey nodded, "It was delicious."

Dahlia Baker glanced at Zoey with disdain and said, "You can't do anything right! Even picking wedding favors, your sister has to do it for you! Look at Ariana, not only is she the top designer at Born Beauty Fashion Company, but she's also a triple threat in the entertainment industry as a film, television, and music star. You're useless! I really don't know why Mr. Maddox chose you as his fiancée."

Dahlia snorted coldly, "What advantages could she have?"

"Zoey was kind and obedient."

"Kind and obedient?" Dahlia laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Eight years ago, she was only fourteen and already going to bars to smoke and drink, hanging out with delinquents, and getting involved in scandalous affairs and abortions. How much public pressure did the Harmon family face back then? They were completely humiliated! You really have a short memory!"

Matteo snorted, "Zoey said she didn't do it, so she didn't! How can you, as a mother, not trust your own daughter at all!"

The old man seemed really angry, and Dahlia didn't argue anymore. She just glared at Zoey fiercely.

The usually silent Jordan Harmon looked at Zoey and said earnestly, "No matter what you have done in the past, after we get engaged, you must become a good daughter-in-law of the Maddox family. The reputation of the Harmon family cannot be tarnished anymore."

Dahlia couldn't help but retort, "The nature is hard to change, who knows what she has become during these eight years abroad? After getting engaged, you should learn more from Ariana on how to be a qualified socialite."

Ariana defended, "Oh, Mom and Dad, please stop talking. Those are all rumors. I believe Zoey."

Dahlia sneered, "I was just reminding her!"

"Enough!" Matteo slammed his fork down. "The child is getting engaged tomorrow, aren't you done yet? You keep talking and I'm getting tired of it!"

Zoey smiled faintly, "It's okay, mom and dad are right. I’ll learn from my sister.”

Before going to bed, Zoey received a message on her phone.

She glanced and saw a Line message from Nelson.

"Zoey, is your stomach still hurting?"

Zoey rolled her eyes and, thinking about what she had told herself in her past life, forced herself to reply, suppressing the disgust and discomfort in her heart.

It didn't hurt anymore.

That's good, are the candies delicious?

"It was delicious, you and Ariana indeed have good taste."

They're really birds of a feather, deserves each other!

*[I’m glad you liked it. Tomorrow night, you’ll be my fiancée. I’m truly lucky.*]

Oh no, your good fortune has just begun.

Zoey scoffed lightly, "I was lucky too. See you tomorrow night."

After replying, she thought about her past self, who despite having great talent, was easily manipulated by these two individuals.

Just because of excessive trust, it led to blindness in the eyes and ignorance in the heart.

In this lifetime, she would never repeat the same mistakes.

"Ariana, there is a ring exchange ceremony tomorrow. Can you help me bring the ring up when the time comes?" she sent a message to Ariana.

"Okay, no problem," Ariana replied.

The Maddox family, Nelson set aside his phone.

He took a sip of red wine and clicked his tongue, "This fool is completely wrapped around my finger now, she knows nothing about that she'd become my most advantageous pawn soon! Truly foolish to the core!"

The engagement between the Maddox family and the Harmon family was arranged in the early years by Alonso Maddox and Matteo.

Because of the incident at the bar, Zoey's reputation outside was very bad, which also affected the reputation of the Harmon family. The Maddox family never mentioned the engagement again, and the Harmon family was also too embarrassed to bring it up, until Nelson took the initiative to propose to Zoey from the Harmon family.

In order to show his sincerity to Zoey, Nelson invited celebrities from all walks of life in Woodmerrow to the engagement banquet.

At this moment, the banquet hall of River Hotel was filled with big shots.

The men exchanged toasts while women mingled, showing off elegant attire.

Zoey sat in the dressing room, sending messages.

*[Play the video during the ring exchange. Got it?]*

*[No problem, boss! Get ready for the show,*] replied Roland.

Zoey took her phone, her lips curled into a smile, and the show was about to begin!

Slap the Scum

The sound of knocking on the door was heard, and Ariana pushed the door open.

"Zoey, the engagement banquet has started, it's time for you to go on stage."

Zoey looked at Ariana's swollen lips and understood in her heart.

It was obvious that Ariana and Nelson were secretly involved with each other.

In the past, she’d trusted them and hadn’t thought to question it. But now, every little detail was as clear as day.

She smiled and said, "Okay."

Zoey stood up and Ariana's face changed suddenly, "Zoey, did you change your dress?"

Zoey was dressed in a white lace long dress, with silver flat shoes on her feet. Her dark, slightly curled hair fell to her waist, and her light makeup looked clean and gentle, like a fairy fallen to earth.

“Doesn't it look good?” Zoey asked with a smile.

Ariana tugged at her lips and said, "Good, it looks good. Nelson will definitely be amazed."

Zoey glanced at her clenched palm and realized she was worried that she might seduce Nelson away.

She patted Ariana's shoulder and said in her heart, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you for that scoundrel!"

The banquet hall was bustling with excitement.

A few women gathered together and were discussing.

"I never expected Zoey to have such a bad reputation, and yet she managed to get engaged to Mr. Maddox! Do you think she must have some kind of leverage over him?"

"It's hard to say! Otherwise, how could the Maddox family possibly accept a woman who had had an abortion?"

"Now, the Maddox family only has Russell unmarried. Who among you is interested?"

"Russell's face was simply breathtaking, but he's impotent! Who could bear to live like a widow?!"

If you marry into the Maddox family, you'll become the Mrs.Maddox, as Russell Maddox holds the reins of power in the family.

"I wouldn't, I heard Russell is like an iceberg, I don't want to be frozen to death."

"If Russell had shown interest in me, I would have married him. I could have looked at that face for a lifetime!"

"Look, Russell is here!"

The banquet hall instantly became quiet as Troy Crane pushed Russell, who was sitting in a wheelchair, inside.

Russell wore a high-end dark suit, paired with a white shirt and a vest, exuding innate elegance.

He leisurely rested his hands on the armrests, with a string of rosewood prayer beads wrapped around his wrist. A black thin blanket was draped over his legs, and from the bulge, one could imagine that his legs were probably slender.

Many women sighed in their hearts, this man is noble and elegant, but unfortunately he was disabled.

Many men inwardly mocked, thinking that being decisive and ruthless in the business world did not qualify them as real men if they lacked compassion and had no offspring to inherit their family business.

In the faces of everyone, there was nothing but respect.

Russell raised his hand slightly, and Troy stopped.

Nelson walked briskly towards Russell and said, "Russell, you came back from abroad."

Russell sighed lightly and said, "The Maddox family had good news, so of course I had to hurry back."

A glimmer of brilliance flashed through Nelson's eyes as he sighed in his heart that Russell must have been in great pain, after all, the woman he cared about was going to get engaged to someone else.

He nodded and said, "Thank you, Russell. The ceremony is about to begin, I will go up on stage first."

Nelson turned around and took the stage, and the Maddox family gathered around, young and old.

Marlene Maddox said, "Russell, look at Nelson, he got engaged. When are you planning to go on a blind date?"

Alonso, "Yeah, Mr. Bender's second daughter is nice. Why don't you meet her tomorrow?"

Other relatives also began to continue this topic.

Russell remained indifferent, "Not interested."

One sentence that silenced everyone.

At this moment, the host on the stage began the opening speech for the engagement banquet.

After a brief introduction, he looked towards the side of the stage and said, "Please welcome Ms. Harmon to the stage."

Zoey stepped onto the stage in a dress, her back straight, and every step she took was graceful and elegant.

Nelson couldn't take his eyes off immediately.

The audience below was also attracted, because it was so beautiful.

Ariana saw this scene and bit down on her newly installed porcelain teeth, making a crisp sound.

The host swallowed and said, "Ms. Harmon, the daughter of the Harmon family, truly lives up to her reputation as an elegant and graceful lady. Now, it's time for the exchange of engagement rings. Please welcome Ms. Harmon's sister, the renowned singer and talented designer, Ariana, to present the engagement ring."

Ariana suppressed her anger, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and walked onto the stage with two small red velvet boxes cradled in her palms.

At this moment, the high-tech giant screen behind the stage automatically opened, and one intimate photo after another appeared in the sight of the crowd.

The entire banquet hall erupted in exclamations!

The man and woman in the photo were none other than Nelson and Ariana.

There are travel photos, candlelight dinner photos, birthday photos, and photos from concerts. The poses of the two people are mostly kissing, hugging, and even on the bed. Most of them are taken from a selfie angle, occasionally from the perspective of the audience.

The two of them had natural expressions, looking completely immersed in happiness.

Nelson's face darkened, and he shouted, "Turn it off, now!"

Ariana, on the other hand, was pale-faced, and the velvet small box in her palm fell to the ground with a thud.

She widened her eyes in fear and said, "It's not like that, it's not..."

The staff hurried to close the screen, but the switch malfunctioned.

Suddenly, a video of a man and a woman entangled appeared on the large screen.

A embarrassing sound echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.

Nelson was holding Ariana and moving on top of her.

"Of course it was you, that disgusting bitch, I wouldn't even touch her."

"Nelson, you are about to get engaged to Zoey, will you really not touch her?"

"Of course not, I have never even held her hand. She looks so stiff like a dead body, it annoys me just looking at her! You are much more fresh and tender, I know that for sure!"

"Nelson, then you swore."

"Of course, I swear, you were the only one in my heart."

"Oh Nelson, I loved you so much..."

In the spacious banquet hall, the sound of people's discussions resounded.

"This pure and innocent girl has turned into a pure and seductive woman!"

"Yeah, she may seem innocent and pure on the surface, but behind closed doors, she's quite dissolute!"

"Her fiancée with her younger sister, this was really exciting!"

"So called designer, so much for a pop idol! This time, it seems like they're going down!"

"I even bought VIP tickets for her concert, now I really want to return them!"

"The singing was so beautiful, but the moaning was quite provocative, a bit different, huh?"

***

Jordan in the audience covered his face, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Dahlia rushed onto the stage as if she had gone mad, shouting, "Turn it off! Turn it off quickly!"

Zoey looked devastated and stumbled backwards two steps.

Nelson quickly stepped forward to explain, but Zoey suddenly stood still and forcefully slapped Nelson's face with all her strength, causing the man's face to turn aside.

She trembled all over, her eyes filled with hot tears. "How could you deceive my feelings like this? And with my own sister! Looking at those photos, you have been together for a long time! If you like her, then why did you even get engaged to me?"

Nelson had never been slapped in the face before, but now there were five fingerprints on his fair little face.

He was about to get angry, but then he saw Zoey looking so beautiful even when she was crying. He felt annoyed and regretful, wishing he had known earlier how pretty Zoey was, so he wouldn't have been with Ariana.

Photos can be explained as fake, but videos cannot be denied.

Looking at the surroundings in the footage, this video was shot in the countryside villa. Who would set him up like this?

Was it Zoey?

She knew that place!

It's impossible, Zoey is a fool, how could she possibly have such means?

Without having time to think carefully, he needs to calm Zoey down first.

He wanted to hold her hand and said, "Zoey, listen to me..."

“Don’t bother,” she snapped, slapping his hand away.

Ariana looked panicked and said, "Zoey, the photos and videos were all manipulated! Someone must be plotting against us, trying to sow discord between us! Nelson and I are innocent! I am your sister, you have to believe me!"

Zoey expressed a disappointed expression, "Ariana, yesterday you were saying how envious you were that I found a good man like Nelson. I never expected that you two had already been together behind my back."

Ariana's face was tearful as she sobbed, "I didn't, Zoey, those were all fake!"

Zoey looked at Nelson, with a look of disappointment and heartbreak, "No need to say anything, the engagement is off!"

She ran down the stage and grabbed Matteo's arm, feeling very aggrieved. "Grandfather, I don't want to get engaged to Nelson anymore."

Matteo looked at Alonso, his eyes filled with anger. "Alonso, you really did it this time, you were actually playing both sides and caused harm to another granddaughter of the Harmon family!"

Alonso's chest tightened with anger. "Matteo, this is the Maddox family's fault. I will definitely give you and Zoey an explanation."

Zoey sniffed and blinked her watery eyes, "An explanation?"

Alonso nodded, "Yes, feel free to make any requests, as long as I can fulfill them."

Zoey pursed her lips and said, “Then… why don’t you find me a new fiancé from your family?”
