“Liliana, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you leaving?”
I, Liliana Clarke, had just set foot on the boat, ready to board.
I turned around to glance at my husband, Asher Farley.
“What’s wrong?”
This was a famous tourist spot, and since it was a holiday, it should have been crowded.
However, my bold best friend, Eleanor Estes, had booked the entire place. Other than a few
staff members, there was almost no one around.
In my past life, I had boarded this very boat.
My husband was in charge of sailing it, while my best friend’s husband, Jaxon Estes, made
sure that both Eleanor and I were well–fed.
The four of us had a great time.
Eleanor stood up and urged me to go to the side of the boat to look at the fish.
She said that if we were lucky enough to see them, our wishes would come true in this
lifetime.
I didn’t want to disappoint her, so I stood up and walked over.
But there were no fish at all. It was just an excuse.
At some point, my husband was replaced at the helm and came to stand behind me.
“Liliana, if we both see them together, we’ll be happy forever.”
I loved my husband, and at that moment, my happiness reached its peak.
Of course, that was before he pushed me into the sea.
I couldn’t swim, and I thrashed around in the water, struggling.
“Help me, Asher, help me!”
I even begged my husband, the one who had pushed me, to pull me out.
But it was no use. He just ignored me.
I turned my desperate cries toward Eleanor.
“Eleanor, help me! Please, please help me!”
Eleanor, holding a glass of red wine, watched me coldly.
She had no intention of helping me.

Her husband, Jaxon, simply stopped the boat, and the three of them watched as I flailed in
the water.
The place was secluded, and the staff would never come over.
No one would bring a boat over here.
It was all planned.
Finally, exhausted, I slowly sank beneath the surface of the water.
口
Only then did my husband, wearing a life jacket, jump in to rescue me.
At that moment, I was already a lifeless body.
The CEO of a multi–billion–dollar company had died in a car accident a year ago, and now,

year later, his only daughter drowned in the sea.
It was explosive news. My husband, Asher, cried uncontrollably in front of the media and tearfully inherited the billions.

In the end, he ended up with Eleanor, and I found out that they had been having an affair all
along.

Her so–called husband was actually the illegitimate son of her uncle.
I pulled my other foot back.
“Forget it. I don’t want to go.”

My best friend on the boat froze for a moment, then hurriedly said,
“But we planned this, and I’ve booked the whole place.”
I was feeling uninterested. “Why don’t you guys go instead?”
Asher’s face darkened. “Liliana, what do you mean? Eleanor has been preparing for this trip
for a long time. And we all left our work to come with you. You can’t just say you don’t want to go
and walk away.”
“It’s fine, Liliana doesn’t want to go, so let’s all leave,” Eleanor said regretfully, her words
sounding reluctant, but she didn’t move from the boat.
She knew my personality, and in the past, whenever she said something like that, I’d always
give in.
But things were different now. I had been reborn.
Once I boarded this boat, there was no turning back.
“Forget it. I’m leaving,” I said as I turned, pushing Asher aside, and walked toward the Rolls–Royce parked in the lot.
When they saw that I was determined to leave, they hurried over.
“Are you really going back? Liliana, I’ve been preparing for this trip for so long, even postponing a few important meetings. You can’t just say you’re not going and walk away!”
They had indeed prepared for a long time, going through much effort to make sure the plan went smoothly.
