I was reborn - together with Dewitt Fletcher . In my previous life , he brought me out of the orphanage as his foster sister . And as we grew older , we married and shared a lifetime of deep , unwavering love . But in this life , when his parents motioned for me as they had in the past , the teenage Dewitt spoke out against it . " Mom , Dad , I don't want her ! I want this girl to be my sister ! " He grabbed the hand of the girl standing beside me , his gaze icy as he stared me down . " You stole Heather's life , causing her tragic death . Now it's your turn to suffer in hell ! " I recognized that girl immediately . She was the one who , in my last life , had been adopted by the Benton family . She'd died young back then . In that moment , everything clicked into place . So , this time , Dewitt fancied himself the heroic knight to rescue his princess . " Would you like to come with me ? " an elegant woman asked . She was Denisse Benton , from the prestigious Benton family , which Dewitt branded as pure hell . My gaze shifted from her to Dewitt , my partner of decades , as he walked away with another girl . Then I nodded . This could be for the best . In this life , I wanted to carve out a different path for myself . As I stepped out of the orphanage , the Fletchers were still there . The moment Dewitt spotted me , he tensed up and hurriedly shoved the girl into the car , snarling at me with raw ven- om . " Eunice , no matter how much you beg , I'm not taking you ! You're not welcome in my family ! " You're nothing but a thief , and you belong with that wicked Benton family ! " He pushed me aside and slammed the car door shut . I stumbled , struggling to keep my balance , as the Fletcher family's cars vanished into the distance . The swirling dust from the exhaust stung my eyes , making it hard to keep them open . Suddenly , a sleek black Maybach pulled up right in front of me . The window rolled down , revealing Denisse's cool , composed face . " You want to go and live with the Fletchers ? " 0.0 % 15:07 Chapter 1 288 Vouchers I shook my head . " Your family is great . " She paused for a second , casting an indifferent glance at me . " What's your name ? " I replied softly , " Eunice . " In my last life , it had been Eunice Fletcher . " From now on , you'll be Eunice Benton . " Her reply was brief , but I got what she meant . I slid into the car without hesitation and said , " Okay , Mom . " Denisse arched an eyebrow but said nothing . She leaned back in her seat to rest her eyes . I took the hint and stayed quiet . The car glided into the Benton's villa , and I followed Denisse inside . She set down her bag and casually glanced upward . " Derek , this is your sister , Eunice . " I froze , instinctively looking up . Leaning against the railing on the second - floor atrium was a young man even more striking than Dewitt . His features were refined and handsome , and he had an air of quiet elegance . He seemed to have been watching us for quite some time . I was utterly stunned . I never imagined Derek Benton would look like this ... In our previous life , shortly after I was adopted by the Fletchers , Derek was sent abroad by his family . I didn't see him again until many years later . By then , he had already taken over the Benton empire , but his appearance was marred . With that scarred , fearsome face and his ruthless business tactics , he was known in the corporate world as " the Phantom Reaper . " I smiled warmly and greeted him . " Hi , Derek . " But Derek acted as if he hadn't heard a word , still lounging against the railing with a distant , indifferent expression . " Don't mind him . He's not much of a talker , " Denisse said . Then she summoned a maid to show me around and left . As I followed the maid toward the front door , something compelled me to glance back . My eyes locked with Derek's unreadable gaze . My heart skipped a beat . 51.2 % 15:06 Chapter 1 Before my smile could fully form , he turned away and disappeared into his room . 1 19-288779ers 97.9 %
