Chapter 10
Damien tried several times to contact her, but Jessica kept telling him off every time.
“Everyone in the country knows about our affair. And you still want to marry me? You have no shame, but I still want you!”
After leaving, I found the police and reported the evidence of Damien’s fraudulent compensation and insurance fraud. I also drafted a divorce agreement and sent it to
Damien.
Since the entire city was in ruins at the time, the process was extremely slow. So during this period, I have been volunteering.
Until half a month later, Damien came to find me with a haggard face. His eyes were dark circles. And his face also had grown gaunt.
“Why are you so heartless? I used that compensation money for our married life. How can I return the money to you?”
“Buying luxury bags and cosmetics for Jessica, is that what you call using it for our married life?”
He rubbed his temples wearily. “Let’s not talk about this for now. I came here today to get back together with you.”
I raised an eyebrow. “What do you want from me? Where’s Jessica? Aren’t you two supposed to be together forever?”
When I mentioned this, he looked irritated.
“She’s already disabled and she wants 388,000 dollars in dowry and 500 grams of gold. Isn’t that trying to kill me?”
I crossed my arms and snorted coldly, “Then why did you think I would want you?”
Damien snorted coldly, “I haven’t signed the divorce agreement yet. As long as I don’t agree, we’ll always be married.”
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to hug my waist. “Now that I’m clean with Jessica, just pretend nothing happened and live a good life with me.”
I shook off his disgusting hand. Then I took a few steps back to keep my distance.
“I’ve always wanted to live a good life with you. But what did you do to me? You suffocated me with a pillow. No matter how I screamed for help or begged you, you never showed any mercy.”
“Now that you’ve been abandoned by Jessica, you’ve suddenly remembered me?”
Damien was stunned by my words, standing frozen in place for a long moment before reacting. “You too…”
A flash of guilt crossed his eyes. “I had my reasons. At the time… Jessica blinded me… but not anymore.”
In my previous life, Damien never figured out something until I died. It was Jessica’s

exorbitant dowry that finally made him see the light.

I couldn’t help but laugh and I felt that I was not worth it for my naivety in my last life. Damien didn’t love anyone. He was just selfish.
I snorted coldly, “We can’t be together in this life, Damien. It’s impossible for us. We must
divorce.”
For the first time I was contradicted, Damien’s face darkened with displeasure. And he instinctively grabbed my neck.
He was trying to force me to submit. But I easily pushed him to the ground.
“Do you think you can still control me?”
I crossed my arms and looked down at him. After narrowly escaping death, Damien’s physical strength was obviously not as good as before.
The chest pierced by rebar left him in so much pain he couldn’t straighten his back. Just because of his emotional ups and downs, his face turned pale. And he was about to faint.
“You… you ungrateful bastard!”
I slapped away his hand pointing at me, bent down and said, “I’ve already submitted the evidence to the court. I’m not only getting a divorce, but I’m also suing you for embezzling my dad’s compensation money.”
After saying that, I turned to leave, but Damien grabbed my pant leg. Though it was frustrating, he patiently tried to persuade me.
“Eugenia, don’t you have any feelings left for me at all? Don’t treat me like this, please.”
I snorted coldly and kicked Damien to the ground. I left without looking back.
Some mistakes were best made only once. The end of my previous life was replaying in my mind every moment. How could I possibly be soft–hearted again?
In this life, I won’t live for anyone else again. I would live for myself.
With that thought, I walked into the lottery store. With the memories of my previous life, I believed my life would only get better and more happiness.
(The End)
