Chapter 9 Shayla lunged toward Aaron while shouting , " You scoundrel ! You were lying when you said you love me . The only thing you ever loved was money . As for the debts I owe , you're just as deep in it as I am . Aaron , there's no running away . " . Hearing that , Aaron gave her another slap . Suddenly , Shayla seemed to remember something . She dropped to her knees in front of me , clutching at my pant leg as she pleaded , " Bella , I'm your best friend . We've been classmates since middle school until now . You can't leave me to die ! " I owe a few million dollars , so why don't you sell your two old apartments and help me pay off my debts ? Don't worry , I'll write you an IOU . Once I find a job , I'll slowly pay you back . " That was utterly ridiculous . I couldn't believe Shayla was actually expecting me to pay off her debts . Did she think I was dumb enough to allow her to leech off me for the rest of my life ? Squatting down , I held her chin and whispered into her ear , " In my previous life , you two scoundrels leeched off me , and you're doing it again in this life . Shayla , do you really think I'm that fucking stupid ? " Shayla's eyes widened , her expression filled with horror . " You ... you are ... " " Yes , that's right . I was reborn , just like you , " I whispered . Shayla shook her head hard . " No , that's impossible . If you were reborn , why didn't you buy this lottery ticket ? " Something occurred to her . She grabbed my hand and asked , " No , wait . In the previous life , you bought this lottery ticket and won 50 million dollars . It was the same shop and the same numbers . What happened ? " I patted her cheek and sheered , " Shayla , who told you I gained financial freedom because of that lottery ticket ? " As she stared at me dumbly , I continued , " Remember the strange bead you saw at my house previously ? It was an antique passed down through generations of my family and is worth a few hundreds of millions . " Hearing that , Shayla collapsed to the ground . In my previous life , I did buy that lottery ticket and only discovered it was a fake when I tried to cash it . Yet , I only bought it for fun and didn't take it to heart . Later , that antique bead in my family was sold , and I really did achieve financial freedom . However , my parents told me not to go around bragging about it , in case it stirred up envy . That was why I told others I won the lottery . As I was about to leave , Shayla knelt on the ground and hit her head on the ground repeatedly . She yelled , " Bella , I'm sorry . Please , save me ! Sell the antique bead and use the money to pay off my debts , and I promise I'll serve you humbly . I'll die if I can't pay off my debts . Please ! " I gave her a kick that sent her sprawling . " Shayla , don't you get it ? You wanted me dead in my previous life , so in this one , I want you to pay with your life . " Chapter 10
