At Langley Holdings' grand anniversary gala, an ambitious new intern seized the spotlight in front of every single executive and employee. Facing me head-on, Sophie Sinclair declared with dramatic conviction, "Ms. Langley, I want a fair competition with you for Mr. Jonathan Rowe!" The entire ballroom erupted into shocked gasps. Yet standing beside me, my CEO fiancé, Jonathan Rowe, looked at the audacious intern with undisguised admiration. In my past life, I tried to warn her against acting as a shameless mistress. In response, she staged a rooftop suicide stunt to force my hand: "Ms. Langley," she said, "apart from your family fortune, how are you even worthy of Mr. Rowe? "I love him, not his money! Even as the other woman, my love is pure!" Jonathan had sneered at me with utter contempt, "There is nothing wrong with falling in love! Don't taint our pure romance with your filthy, calculating thoughts!" Together, the scheming pair pushed me off that very rooftop. After my tragic death, Sophie played the victim online, rising to fame as an inspirational influencer. "Though she's gone, the emotional scars she left on me will never fade. But I will stay strong and keep living!" Driven mad by grief, my parents destroyed everything to avenge my murder, ending in the mutual ruin of both families. Now, I opened my eyes to find myself standing under the crystal chandeliers once more, right on the day Sophie declared our "fair competition."
