When Eva and her mother were driven out of the Patton family, they had nowhere to go.

I took them in.

I made her famous on the premise of being my girlfriend.

I even made her ex-boyfriend an actor just to please her.

After marriage, she didn’t want to have children because she wanted to maintain her figure and was afraid of pain, so I silently underwent sterilization.

Later, I unfortunately encountered a car accident and my life was hanging by a thread.

She signed the consent form to give up the surgery without any hesitation.

She said that she finally regained her freedom after enduring for so many years.

After inheriting my legacy, she couldn't wait to announce her relationship with the reigning Best Actor, Jerry Shelton, her ex-boyfriend.

I was reborn and I decided to give her freedom.

She, however, burst into tears and said she was willing to accompany me for a lifetime.

***

Thwack!

I felt a sharp pain on my face. A diamond bracelet fell to the ground and broke into two pieces at my feet.

The excruciating pain helped me recover and realize that I was reborn.

"Liam Andrews, what are you here for?

"Today, I won this award based on my abilities. Don't tarnish my achievement with your money."

Eva's expression was full of disgust. Her lips tightly pursed as she looked at me contemptuously while crossing her arms.

Today is the award ceremony of the Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

Eva won the crown with a low-budget web series.

She held her head high arrogantly, displaying the attitude of an Award-winning actress.

In public, she presented herself as an independent and strong female lead, eager to distance herself from me.

She completely forgot her humble life a year ago when she was harassed by a customer at the bar.

I was the heir of the Andrews family, and my family's business covered various industries.

A year ago, I visited the bar under my family's name and saw Eva being forced to drink.

Her tears welled up in her eyes. I was touched.

"Be my girlfriend. I will make you famous in the showbiz."

I didn't force her. I just gave her a choice.

She could refuse and continue her days of selling drinks at the bar.

But she agreed without hesitation and even proposed a condition for me to support her and her mother.

It turned out that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Patton family. Mrs. Patton kicked Eva and her mother out after knowing about them.

Now she lost her mind and became disoriented because of the award.

She didn't know that I invested in that web series and even manipulated this award.

I bent down and silently picked up the broken bracelet on the ground.

She always said that I relied on money for everything and never knew what true sincerity is.

In the drawer of her dressing table, there was plastic bead bracelet, which was hand-strung by her ex-boyfriend, Jerry.

I thought that the true sincerity she liked was something handmade.

So, I started searching for good quality diamonds all over the world three months in advance, and personally sought out a master to learn Mystery setting.

After a whole month of learning and polishing, I finally made a perfect bracelet for today's award ceremony.

But she didn't even look at it, and threw my true sincerity on the ground.

Thinking back to her cruelty and determination in the previous life, I felt my blood boiling in my heart.

I had always been proud of myself. It was always others to please and beg me. When did I become a worthless bootlicker?

Seeing that I haven't said a word for a long time, Sadie, the head of Eva's fan club was a little panicked.

She moved closer to Eva and whispered.

"Eva, calm down. At least don't fall out with him. After all, he is also an investor in the industry. Offending him is not good for you. This time, he seems really angry. Why don't you try to coax him?"

Eva shook off Sadie's hand and snorted at me.

"So what?

"Investor? Do I have to kneel down? Dream on!

"I won this award with my own ability. It's well-deserved!

"I can still thrive without him!

"Don't invest in any projects I star in. I am not short of investors!"

I sneered and casually threw the broken bracelet into the trash can.

"Okay!"

Eva stared blankly and finally looked at me.

"What?"

In the past life, I was obsessed and crazy with her delicate face, but now I was not.

"As you wish, I will no longer invest in any of your works in the future.

"I will stay away from you in the future. You are free!"

Hearing my words, Eva was skeptical and couldn't believe it.

"Really?

"Are you thinking of some sinister tricks again?"

I lost patience and shouted for John.

"How can strangers come to the VIP room? Send them out!"

Sadie saw us in a tense situation and wanted to ease the atmosphere.

"Mr. Andrews, please calm down. Eva didn't mean it that way!"

Obviously Eva didn't appreciate it.

"Liam, you said it. Don't beg me like a dog in the future!"

After that, she stared at Sadie with dissatisfaction.

"Which side are you on? If you continue to show goodwill towards him, I'll find a new leader for the fan club!"

Sadie quickly assured her.

"Eva, I will support you!

"You're so beautiful and your acting is great. He will definitely regret and beg you in the future!"

Well, they probably didn't know that I was the one supporting Eva's fan club financially.

Eva was new to showbiz. No one bought her merchandises. I paid for them.

Eva glanced at me, walked lightly as if shaking off the shackles of me, and then slammed the door of the VIP room.

John and other subordinates looked at each other and dared not say a word.

After a long time, John tentatively spoke, "Mr. Andrews, it's getting late. Should we arrange a car for her?"

I waved my hand, "You don't need to worry about her anymore."

John was still not convinced, afraid that I would fawn on her the next day, just like in the previous life.

"Mr. Andrews, do you think we should continue to invest in the newly developed web series field?"

I calmly put on a high-end suit jacket and nodded.

"It's an emerging industry. It is so profitable and we have already made early preparations. Why not do it?

"John, don't think too much. Worrying too much can make you age faster!"

John secretly sneered and quietly instructed the driver to pick me up.

That night, I lay on the king-size bed, stretching my body.

Finally, I truly experienced the joy of rebirth and couldn't help but lament the tragic ending of my previous life.

In this life, I only wish to live freely and healthily, and never be a bootlicker again.

At midnight, the phone suddenly rang.

John sent one photo after another.

In the photos, Eva and Jerry entered the hotel, leaning against each other.

To create topics for Eva and shoot materials, I specifically hired a professional filming team to follow her all day.

I never expected that one day, they would become my eyeliner.

Looking at the silhouette of two people kissing behind the hotel curtains, my heart was calm, and there was no more sadness, resentment, or anger.

Eva had truly become a memory of the past in my heart.

For several consecutive days, John sent me photos of Eva.

Eva seemed very excited and enjoyed her newfound freedom. She stayed in the hotel with Jerry for three days and nights, only coming out a few times to get takeout.

Three days later, a new web series will be premiered.

As an investor, I was invited to attend the opening ceremony.

The male lead was Jerry.

Before, Eva secretly complained that I had broken up her and Jerry. She always felt guilty towards him.

To make her feel at ease, I agreed to invest in this web series and recommended Jerry to the director as the male lead.

I arrived early, so I decided to rest in the van.

The others gradually arrived, and a few stood in the shade next to the van to cool off.

"Jerry, you look a bit tired. Did you do something bad last night?"

Someone nudged Jerry and teased him with a wink.

"Jerry must be enjoying himself. Tell us, how does it feel to be with Eva?"

"The feeling is naturally great. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disappeared for three days. Now he has completely conquered Eva."

Jerry leaned against the wall next to him, yawning and feeling a bit pleased with himself.

"Eva? All women are same when the lights are turned off."

"You are indeed talented. You have completely won over Eva. Unlike Liam Andrews, that idiot. He's rich but foolish. I heard that he pursued Eva for a year and didn't even hold her hand."

Exactly, I was a big fool. For a whole year, I had always been respectful and afraid of offending Eva.

Every time I tried to get closer to her, she walked away with all sorts of excuses.

In my previous life, I was blind and ignorant. I thought that she had a noble heart that was not moved by money and I loved her irresistibly.

After dying once, I realized that she took advantage of my love for her and enjoyed the luxurious life I provided, while keeping a distance from me and being faithful to Jerry.

She was really cunning and opportunistic!

"Eva has a great figure. When she wears a maid costume or a bunny costume, she looks quite attractive."

Jerry squinted his eyes, savoring the memories. His words aroused the desires of the others, who urged to see the photos.

Eva, this is your unforgettable ex-boyfriend, a complete scumbag!

"Jerry, I heard that Eva is being supported by Liam. What if he finds out about your relationship with her?"

Before Jerry could reply, another person rushed to speak.

"So what if he knows? Liam has already known that Jerry is Eva's ex-boyfriend. He couldn't resist Eva's plea and directly funded Jerry to become the male lead."

"Liam is just a big fool. He will eagerly promote Jerry as long as Eva sheds a few tears."

It was true. In my previous life, I couldn't withstand her tears and repeatedly made concessions, making them the best actor and actress.

As a result, they inherited my estate and became a couple, while I became a pitiful jar of ashes that they casually scattered.

Just as they were getting excited, the director's assistant came and knocked on the door.

When I leaned out, Jerry and his cronies were stunned in place.

"Jerry, he has heard everything. Will he hold a grudge against us? After all, the director wants to please him."

Jerry turned his head and reassured his friends with his eyes, then walked forward, pretending to be calm and composed.

"Mr. Andrews, I suffered a great mental trauma when you forced Eva to break up with me.

"If you don't want Eva to keep thinking about me, I can clarify and voluntarily leave Eva, as long as you recommend me as the male lead in the movie 'Red Highland'."

I carefully observed the man in front of me. He had a pale and delicate face. Perhaps due to excessive indulgence, there was a dark blue under his eyes.

His small and weak body was like a rail that would sway with a gust of wind.

I didn't know what Eva liked him for.

"If possible, recommend me for two or three popular variety shows every year to make money faster."

I looked at him talking incessantly and didn't interrupt.

Jerry became more and more excited, his pale face slightly flushed with excitement.

I took out my phone and quickly dialed a number.
