Emily, being the designated successor of her multi-million family business, was used to having all eyes on her. However, it all changed in one night when she had caught her fiance cheating on her with her sister. Not only did he left her, but he even laughed at the thought of ever loving someone like her. Everyone had betrayed her that night, and as her sister smashed her skull, Emily found herself dying and moving back to ten years ago. With another chance at life, she would make them all pay. She would stop at nothing to make all their lives a living hell.
The skies had gradually dimmed around them. The waves splashed across the shorelines, reflecting the bright moon glimmering above them.
However, a ship offered a sharp contrast to the violent seas. In there, the spotlights waved at the shadows as loud music echoed through the night.
Today was Emily Feng's engagement party. Being the designated successor of the Feng Group, she was used to having all eyes on her. But tonight, it felt even more special. This time, she could also feel everyone watching with bated breath, as if trying to suck in her every move.
She wore a sky-blue strapless dressed that contrasted her smooth snow-white skin perfectly. The fabric wrapped around her figure so exquisitely that it could make anyone lust after her.
"Miss Emily, congratulations!"
Emily Feng squinted her eyes as a graceful smile slid into her ruby red lips. "Uncles, you're all extremely experienced shareholders of the Feng Group." She bowed her head respectfully. "I hope that I'll be able to seek your advice in the future."
"All you need to do is ask!" One of the old men chortled, patting his chest proudly.
Her crystal heels tapped against the glass flooring. She was about to walk up to her fiance, Ron Qin, who was too busy socializing and admiring the view from the other side of the yacht. When most of the guests were enjoying the lights and music, the other side was more silent peaceful. However, just as she was about to walk over to him, she caught sight of her sister Sofia Feng shoving her room card into his palm.
Sofia Feng shot him a flirty smile. The two of them held each other's hands and turned around as if nothing had happened. 'Maybe I just drank too much,' Emily Feng thought to herself, but when she peered over at them one again, the two left one after another.
"I miss you so much," Ron Qin gasped out.
The originally quiet room was thickened with sexual tension as they leaned in closer, inhaling each other's scents.
Suddenly, Sofia Feng pulled his hand down and glared at him. "Today's your engagement party with that bitch," she sneered. "You've already courted her for ten years. Now that you have her, you'd better not make any mistake. Otherwise, my Mom's going to be the death of me."
"Baby, relax. I already got this in the bag." He reassured her as he pulled her closer to his chest. "Besides, the stupid girl's still caught up in her own social engagement, and we haven't seen each other for so long. I miss you."
Ron Qin's thin lips went for her neck as his arms cascaded down her waist, gripping her hips and forcing her against his. His breathy voice fanned against her skin, and she groaned. "Hmph," Sofia Feng gasped out, as she tried her best to pry him out. "No, stop playing. Stop..."
"Playing?" He withdrew his hands and rolled his eyes. "I'm serious. Do you know how much that girl exhausted me? I mean, compared to you, she's nothing but plain old sticks."
Emily Fang's legs had grown so weak that she couldn't help but tremble. 'Am I drunk?' It seemed that no matter how much she shook her head, their voice could still come into her ears–as if the faiths were mocking her for trusting that man.
"Well? When will you actually marry her? As long as you get all her property, we don't have to sneak around anymore."
Sofia Feng sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration.
"She's the only successor of the Feng Group, baby," he said. "It would take some time to get all her property. But don't worry. When I become the biggest shareholder of the company, I'll kick her to the curve. Then, you'll be the wife of esteemed Chairman of the Feng Group."
Sofia Feng giggled, slapping him on his chest playfully. She huddled closer to his side. "You're so bad," she teased. "But I've always liked this bad side of you."
Emily Feng could feel her heart breaking into two as she continued to hear the couple make out in the room. Her hands trembled. She leaned against the wall beside her, since her legs couldn't hold herself up anymore. How could this be? Her sister and her fiance, the two she could ever trust with her life. However, they were sleeping behind her back!
Just then, one of the waiters approached her. "Miss Emily, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Do you need any help?"
Emily stood there in a daze, not bothering to notice him. However, the couple inside had already straightened their backs from the sound.
"Shit! Did you hear that?" Sofia Feng said in hushed whispers.
"What do you think?" Ron Qin backed away from the woman as if he were a deer caught in headlights. "What am I going do? She must've heard everything!"
Before they could think of a better excuse, Emily Feng had already pushed the door open. The woman observed their flushed cheeks and disheveled clothing. It didn't take a genius to know what they had done.
