Chapter 1
In my previous life, my brother married the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.
She was frail and hadn't given him any children in seven years.
I, on the other hand, married her illegitimate half-sister, and she gave birth to triplets right away.
My father-in-law was overjoyed holding my sons, and he offered me the company my brother had been eyeing for years.
Jealous, my brother plotted and ended up destroying our entire family.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of my arranged meeting.
This time, my brother spoke up first. He wanted to marry the illegitimate daughter.
He looked at me smugly.
"You can forget about having an heir!
"This time, I'll be the one with sons to inherit the company!"
But I just smiled.
"You will be the one cuckolded this time."
...
When I opened my eyes, I heard my brother, William Lewis, excitedly say, "Mom, I've decided. I'm going to marry Isla!"
Hearing those words, I realized both my brother and I had been reborn!
William was Stella's son.
My father had pursued my mother, lying about not being married, and she fell in love with him.
After I was born, my father accidentally let the truth slip.
Unable to bear the fact that she had unknowingly become the other woman, my mother took her own life.
My father brought me back to the Lewis family, claiming I was Stella's son.
In the household, I had no status, and Stella and William saw me as a thorn in their side.
In my past life, the two families arranged a marriage, and William married Isla, the eldest daughter of the Clark family.
Meanwhile, I married Zoe, Isla's illegitimate sister.
William and Stella had planned to take over the Clark Group through Isla.
However, Levi, the head of the Clark family, favored Isla.
With Levi's support, I rose through the ranks of the Clark Group like a rocket.
My brother, on the other hand, didn't get a single piece of the Clark family's resources.
Levi placed great importance on his grandchildren and said whoever gave him a grandchild first would inherit the company.
In the first year of our marriage, Isla gave birth to triplets.
When my sons were seven, Isla still hadn't had any children.
Levi laughed heartily, holding my sons.
"I've only ever had two daughters, and now I finally have grandsons!
"Owen, as long as your sons take my family name, I'll write up a will and leave the company to you right now!"
I agreed.
On the day the will was made, my brother came to visit and secretly opened the gas valve in my house.
The gas explosion killed all of us.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the arranged meeting.
Chapter 2
It was clear that Stella didn't agree with William's proposal at first.
William leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
Stella's face lit up with excitement immediately.
It was easy to guess that he probably told her how much Levi favored Isla and the fact that she could have sons.
Stella cleared her throat, glaring at me. "Owen, William's marrying Isla, so Zoe is yours now.
"You are an illegitimate son, but marrying a legitimate heiress? That's a favor from William! Don't you forget it!
"To show your sincerity, sign this agreement and give up your claim to the Lewis family inheritance."
I faked an excited expression. "Great! I'll sign!"
Stella's face brightened as she quickly pulled out a document from her purse.
As soon as I signed, she snatched the paper and left. She was grinning, with William in tow.
I overheard William laughing. "What an idiot. Once I marry Isla and inherit the Lewis and Clark fortunes, we'll see if Owen comes begging me for money!"
The Lewis Group had always been involved in shady dealings.
In three years, all of it would be exposed, and people would come to blackmail them.
In my past life, I worked hard to avoid being dragged down with the Lewis family.
I exhausted countless resources and money to keep it all under wraps.
After my father died three years ago, Stella was supposed to run the company, but all she cared about was enjoying the money.
William was the same.
They had no idea what I had done for the family.
Now, they were rushing to let me escape this mess. How could I say no?
Besides, William's life with Isla won't be as perfect as he imagines.
The real show is just beginning.
Chapter 3
William and I were having our weddings at the same venue.
In my previous life, Levi had introduced all the guests to me, as I was the one marrying Isla.
But now, Levi was leading all the elites and dignitaries toward William instead.
Through the crowd, William shot me a smug look.
Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from behind me, "Aren't you worried?"
I shook my head. "A man's future depends on his ability."
Zoe raised her eyebrows slightly. She was surprised, then a smile appeared on her normally cool face. "Owen, you're really something."
Not far away, Levi respectfully guided an elderly man with white hair into the venue.
William was excited. He rushed over, bowing and nodding eagerly.
The man was calm and composed. He exchanged a few polite words before turning to leave.
When he saw me, he stopped suddenly, frowning slightly.
Seeing this, William rushed over to shoo me away.
"You're in the wrong place, dressed so shabby!
"Do you even know who this man is? If you make him angry, I'll..."
Then he quickly turned to the man, saying, "We don't know him, sir. Don't be upset. I'll get rid of him right now!"
Before William could finish, the man approached me and grabbed my hand.
"Are you Owen?"
I smiled. "Mr. Garcia, I hope you've been well."
William and his mother, Stella, were both left speechless.
Sameul laughed, "The last time I saw you in London, your proposal was a revelation! I had to leave in a rush and didn't get your contact information..."
I smoothly replied, "It's an honor to know you, Mr. Garcia!"
I gave my number to Sameul's assistant, and the other big names surrounding William suddenly started flocking toward me.
Just like in my previous life.
William's face twisted with rage, his nose practically crooked from anger.
He grabbed Isla and stormed off.
Moments later, I received a message from him: [Just wait and see. The Clark Group will be mine!]
