After Planning to Destroy the World, the System Crashed

Yvonne tugged at Kendall's sleeve. "Mom, stop talking."

I patted Yvonne's back. "It's my fault."

Kendall, knowing full well that I was unaware of this, and realizing I had already vented her anger today, didn't blame me much. "So, are you really going to sever ties with him? Can you bear it?"

"If you cut him off, how will he survive in the future?"

"Look at my kind-hearted best friend. She is still worrying about that ungrateful son of mine."

I smiled. "Since he can cut ties with me, why should his survival concern me?"

Besides, if it's over, it's over.

It's not like he's my only heir.

"Alright then. What about tomorrow's engagement ceremony? It looks like it can't go on as planned. Should we notify the guests tonight?"

I slightly smiled. "No need. It'll proceed as planned."

To avoid any misunderstanding, I gently patted Yvonne's head. "The way he took away Yvonne's dignity, I'll make sure he gives it back."

Kendall sighed deeply, "I'll trust you this time. Don't let my daughter be humiliated in public."

"Alright."

Kendall left with Yvonne, and I leisurely whistled as I went back to my bedroom and called my assistant.

"Freeze all of Nicholas' bank accounts."

Queenie, do you really think you can outplay me?

So what if you have a system?

I've been through this once before.

In my previous life, out of love for my son, I let Queenie Clark into our family.

Although I was saddened by the loss of a friend, I quickly moved on.

Unexpectedly, within two years, my health began to deteriorate.

I didn't think much of it at first.

After unexpectedly receiving news of my long-lost daughter, I went to find her with my ailing body and I did.

To make up for lost time, I left most of my assets to her.

But she wasn't my daughter; she was someone Queenie had found to take her place.

I still remember Queenie's triumphant smile as I lay dying.

"You're dead, and your son and daughter will die too.

"Everything is mine now."

I died with resentment, but I didn't expect to be alive again.

"I've been reborn to today.

Queenie, this time, you'll get what you deserve."

Thinking of this, I made another call.

"Hello, Mom."

Hearing my mom's gentle voice, I almost cried. No one knows how much I suffered in my previous life.

"What's wrong?"

I forced down my emotions. "Mom, I need to talk to you."

Mom chuckled softly, "Go ahead."

"I want to sever ties with Nicholas."

"What?"

That was my dad.

He asked incredulously, "What did you say? You're cutting ties with Nicky? Are you crazy, or am I?"

My dad's loud voice startled me.

After a moment, I slowly spoke, "Dad, Mom, I'm not crazy.

"He brought a woman home today, said she was his true love, and that he wanted to cancel the engagement."

My parents fell silent.

After a long pause, my dad hesitantly spoke, "You don't have to sever ties over this."

"Our family has never been too concerned with social status. If he really wants to... then..."
