Chapter 1

On the day of their tenth wedding anniversary, Tommy gave Noelle a “gift”.

On the screen, her parents were soaked in the sea and dying.

“Noelle, I feel extremely disgusted every day I spend with you.”

With Tommy’s order, Noelle saw her parents completely swallowed by the sea. She collapsed on the ground in despair, grabbing Tommy’s collar, her eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.

“Why?”

Tommy’s eyes were bloodshot and every word was tearful. “You forced me to send Camilla away, so I will let you taste the taste of losing your beloved.”

Camilla.

Camilla Spencer.

The silly assistant who suddenly appeared beside Tommy two years ago.

She would accidentally spill coffee on the meeting materials; accidentally lose the USB drive with important documents; accidentally fall in front of the company door and then cry and pull the modified short skirt to protect her thighs, letting Tommy carry her back to the office.

When Noelle determined that Tommy had cheated on her during the marriage and started to prepare a divorce agreement, the always respectable Tommy knelt in front of her and said, “Wife, she is just an assistant. Believe me, I have never done anything beyond the line.”

In order to reassure Noelle, Tommy personally used some means to change Camilla’s name and send her abroad.

Since then, Tommy never mentioned the past again and he and Noelle lived a sweet married life again.

But now, he said that Camilla was his true love.

“Noelle, I love you so much. Why do you force me to divorce? If you hadn’t forced me to send Camilla away, how could she be robbed? How could she lose her innocence? How could she commit suicide? All this is because of you!”

So that was it...

She grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. She was thrown on the road because of a serious illness. She was adopted by her adoptive parents when she was dying. Tommy knew how important her parents were to her, but now just because Camilla committed suicide, Tommy wanted her whole family’s life to pay for it.

Noelle smiled bitterly, vomited a large mouthful of blood due to anger and died on the spot.

***

When she opened her eyes again, Noelle found a cake in front of her.

There was a beautiful number “8” on the cake.

Looking at everything familiar in front of her, Noelle realized that she was reborn.

The heart-wrenching pain before her death in the last life had not completely dissipated. Noelle took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

This was their eighth anniversary and it was also the first month that Camilla had joined the company.

Tommy’s voice came from behind the curtains of the balcony.

“Don’t cry. It’s just a shirt. It’s broken if it’s ironed. Your sister-in-law gave me too many clothes that she can’t find it. Okay, you won’t look pretty if you cry again. Didn’t you fancy your sister-in-law’s evening dress when you came to my house last time? I’ll give it to you as a reward, okay?”

The man’s tone was gentle and those who didn’t know would think he was coaxing his girlfriend.

After hanging up the phone, Tommy turned his head and saw Noelle. The smile on his lips had not yet disappeared and there was a flash of panic in his eyes. “You’re back. Make a wish quickly. I have already made a wish. My wish is to be with my Noelle forever.”

Tommy smiled and kissed Noelle on the forehead.

If Noelle hadn’t known Tommy’s true face earlier, she would have been really moved by this true love.

Noelle looked at Tommy steadily. “I want you to fire Camilla.”

“Why?” Tommy frowned subconsciously.

Knowing that Tommy was unwilling, Noelle took out the evidence she had prepared in her mobile phone and placed it in front of Tommy one by one. “On the first day of employment, she took the gift box given to the partner home as a gift for employment and opened it to use.”

“On the fifth day of employment, she poured expired coffee into the coffee machine, causing diarrhea and a day off for everyone in the company. Half a month after employment, she took milk tea to the stage without permission during the new product launch conference and fell, ruining the fine samples that everyone had worked so hard to produce, causing serious losses to Baldwin Group.”

“Tommy, do you want me to continue?”

Noelle’s chest rose and fell. Perhaps because she had died once, these things that were not enough to make her angry before now made her feel breathless.

Tommy’s eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, he said impatiently, “You are just too jealous. I have explained to you that there is nothing wrong between her and me. Can you not find fault for your own selfishness? Camilla has just graduated for a few years and it is normal for her to make some mistakes. That’s it. Don’t mention it again.”

Tommy stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, “By the way, I took the new evening dress you bought and gave it to the client.”

After a light sentence, Tommy’s figure disappeared completely.

Noelle, who was sitting in the same place, raised a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.

If the person she held hands with was so blind, then she really didn’t need to stay. But if she divorced rashly, she was afraid that the plot of her previous life would unfold again.

After thinking for a moment, Noelle sent a message to someone on the blacklist.

[I agree to go to your company on the condition that you give me 20% of the shares and keep all my information hidden from the outside world. Okay, when will I start working?]

[One month later.]

By then, with the divorce certificate in hand, she would also start a new life.

As for Baldwin Group, let’s leave it to Tommy.

She wanted to see how Baldwin Group would go downhill under Camilla’s influence.
