Similar to my experience in my previous life, Linda married Phil smoothly.

On the day of getting the marriage certificate, she asked me out for dinner.

In order to make my plan go smoothly, I decided to accept her invitation.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw her leaning on Phil with a sweet look on her face, and they seemed to be in love.

I walked over, put down my bag, and greeted them.

She said delicately, "Mandy, why are you so late? Phil and I have been waiting for a long time. He was afraid that I was starving, so he ordered a small cake for me first."

I looked down at the time. We agreed to have dinner at 5 o'clock, and I arrived at 4:58. How could she be starving?

After hearing what she said, Phil blushed a little and pushed the menu in front of me.

"Miss Jones, take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat."

I smiled slightly, pretending not to hear Linda's boastful tone. Then I casually flipped through the menu, sneering in my heart.

"The dishes on this menu are really good. Have you ordered yet?"

Linda smiled proudly, "Of course, Phil and I researched the restaurant in advance, and all we ordered are the specialties of this restaurant. Mandy, you have definitely never eaten them."

I nodded slightly, "That's great. I'm going to try it."

As I said that, I deliberately glanced at Phil. He seemed a little embarrassed and avoided my gaze.

Linda didn't seem to notice the subtle atmosphere and continued to talk nonstop, "Phil is very good to me. Look at this necklace. He just gave it to me yesterday to celebrate our marriage."

As she spoke, she deliberately shook the necklace on her neck in front of me and had a smug look in her eyes, as if to say, "Look, I am the winner."

I sighed softly, showing an envious look.

"He is really thoughtful. Linda, you are so lucky."

But I was thinking, "I'm definitely going to play the game with you guys well."

After all, I had received the necklace in my previous life, and later I found out that it was bought by Phil on eBay for twenty dollars.

Phil seemed a little embarrassed, "Miss Jones, it's nothing. She just likes to joke."

I smiled softly, "It's okay. I understand."

As I said that, I ordered a few dishes, then looked up at Linda, "Linda, you two are really a perfect match. So enviable."

Linda smiled proudly, "Of course, we really love each other."

She seemed completely unaware that her showing off was nothing but a ridiculous show in my eyes.

I laughed secretly in my heart, and I really enjoyed watching her show.

However, the really interesting part of the show was yet to come. It would only begin when Linda became pregnant.

After dinner, I went into the lottery shop under my house.

Following the memory of my previous life, I chose the numbers based on my birthday combination.

I remembered that in my previous life, the set of numbers won a high prize of 100 million dollars.

But it had been so long before that I really couldn't remember exactly what day the lottery was, so I just bought one every day.

For fear of being suspected, I went to different lottery shops to buy tickets every time.

The owner of the lottery shop was a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a kind smile on his face.

As he was entering the numbers, he couldn't help but look at me a few more times, "You bought so many bets on this set of numbers, lady. You are so optimistic about it."

I smiled easily and said, "Sir, I just bought it casually. Maybe I'll win someday."

He laughed and said, "Okay, then I wish you good luck."

He expertly printed out the lottery ticket and handed it to me.

I took the lottery ticket, and was thinking, "This is not just a casual purchase. It is my secret weapon for starting a new life."

"Thank you, sir, for your good words."

The prize drawing was in a week, and I still had a lot to do during the week.

The first thing was to move. I didn't want to have any contact with Linda anymore. After all, her retribution would come after she married Phil.

And I, Mandy, would disappear on the day of the lottery draw, so that Linda and the Smiths would never see me again.

Just three days later, Linda asked me out for dinner again, and said mysteriously that she had something important to discuss with me.

I was sitting in the corner of the bar, watching Linda wearing a black dress and walking towards me with a mysterious look on her face, and I couldn't help but feel a little curious.

She had a smug look on her face, as if she had some big news to announce.

"Mandy, you know?" She couldn't wait to speak as soon as she sat down.

I raised an eyebrow, "Know what?"

She lowered her voice in a mysterious manner, "I have a big plan that I want to discuss with you."

I smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

"It's like this. My husband has a brother named Toby, who is mature, steady, and successful in his career," she paused and continued, "I think you two are a good match. How about I introduce you to each other?"

"It sounds good, but..." I took a sip of the wine.

I deliberately dragged out my voice, "I don't want to be accused of climbing the social ladder."

She was anxious, "How can this be considered climbing the social ladder? Toby is sincere and he has a good impression of you."

Looking at her anxious expression, I couldn't help but feel a little amused. "Good impression of me? He hasn't even met me. How could he already have a crush on me?"

Linda was a little embarrassed. "Well...well, who can say for sure about love matters?"

"Linda, I know you mean well, but I don't like being arranged. It's better to let things take their natural course when it comes to relationships."

My voice was calm and firm, without a trace of wavering.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Linda's face. She seemed not to have expected that I would refuse so directly.

"Mandy, don't refuse so quickly. At least meet him and get to know him better. Maybe you'll get a surprise."

I could almost imagine Linda's plan. She was just trying to get me to marry Toby. Then she would give birth to a son and I would give birth to a daughter. She wanted me to experience the feeling of being ignored by Susan.

I found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, she was still trying to persuade me earnestly.

After I refused many times, she saw my firm attitude and had to give up.

However, just when I let my guard down, I suddenly felt dizzy and everything in front of me started to become blurry.

"Linda, why I..."

Before I could finish my words, I felt a strong sense of dizziness. My consciousness gradually became blurred, and finally I was quite unconscious.
