I Put My Fiancé and My Cousin in Jail After Rebirth

My cousin, Kathryn Francis, and my fiancé, Brodie Lambert, teamed up to betray me and caused me to have nothing.

"Susanna, go to die!"

The moment the knife pierced my chest, I understood how ridiculous the relative bond and romantic relationship could be.

Then I was reborn back to three months ago.

Watching Kathryn and Brodie put on their act, I only wanted to laugh.

I would make them pay for their greed this time.

01

"Susanna, go to die!" I was cornered in an alley by my cousin and some shady characters. She took off her sunglasses, and her eyes were full of mockery.

She waved a knife in front of me and sneered, "Susanna, your company is gone; your house is gone; and your parents are gone... What do you have left to hold onto?"

I looked at the woman whom I had grown up with and wondered when she had become so ruthless. "Kathryn, why? You are my cousin. I even gave up my fiancé for you. Why won't you let go of me?"

She laughed coldly and said, "Because you gave me everything. You're too naive, Susanna."

The instant the knife entered my body, I understood everything.

Kathryn and Brodie had been colluding for a long time.

They conspired against me, not only to take my love but also to seize everything my family owned.

I failed my parents' wishes and nearly let our family's business be stolen by those two heartless people...

When I opened my eyes again, I was sitting in the CEO's office.

The warm sunlight outside sparkled on the diamond ring around my left finger.

I glanced at my phone, and it was April 15, 2022.

Three months later, Kathryn and Brodie would team up to kill me.

I touched my unharmed body and laughed out loud after escaping death.

Fate had truly favored me and allowed me to be reborn.

I wouldn't foolishly believe in a so-called familial bond and a romantic relationship.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. The secretary, Emily Green, walked in and said, "Ms. Harvey, Mr. Lambert is here to pick you up from work."

Brodie was still pretending to be my perfect fiancé at that time.

He gradually deceived me into transferring company shares to Kathryn in my previous life.

I said, "Let him wait a bit."

I opened the drawer and took out a document.

It was the equity transfer agreement my father signed before he passed away, stating that 30% of the shares would be transferred to my husband after I got married.

In my previous life, I let Brodie take over those shares before I got married due to love-struck foolishness.

But I never expected it to become the bargaining chip Brodie and Kathryn used to scheme against me.

I laughed coldly and tore the agreement into pieces.

I would let them pay the price of betrayal this time.

"Ms. Harvey, Kathryn is here too. She wants to have dinner with you this evening."

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled gently. "Sure. I just thought about having dinner with her anyway."

We had a pleasant dinner.

Brodie thoughtfully served me food while Kathryn affectionately held my arm, speaking of sisterly bonds.

Their acting skills were truly impressive.

If I hadn't lived through my previous life, I might have been fooled by their acting.

"Susanna, you've been working too hard lately. Why not let Brodie handle some of the work?" Kathryn blinked her innocent eyes. Well, she couldn't wait now.

I smiled and shook my head. "The company's affairs aren't urgent. But you had better be thinking about settling down."

Kathryn's face changed slightly. "What are you talking about? I'm still young."

"But it's time for you to consider a marriage. I heard a rich young man has taken an interest in you recently. What's his name... He is the son of the Graham family."

As soon as my words fell, Brodie's fork fell to the floor.

I pretended not to see his twisted expression and continued, "The Graham family is quite good. If you like him, I can set you up with him."

"Not necessary!" Kathryn was flustered. "I just want to focus on work right now."

I looked at her meaningfully. "Really? What a pity!"

Back home, I turned on my computer and carefully reviewed the collected information.

The Graham family's son, Nathan Graham, was indeed Kathryn's aim.

She seduced Brodie only to use him to get close to Nathan.

Once she successfully married into the Graham family, she would kick Brodie aside.

What a scheme!

Unfortunately, I wouldn't let her succeed this time.

I would tear apart their disguise step by step and make them pay for their greed.

The next morning, I instructed Emily to investigate Kathryn's recent whereabouts.

"Miss Harvey, according to surveillance records, Kathryn has been frequently visiting the Elite Club recently. She went there on Friday evening and stayed for about two to three hours."

The Elite Club? I remembered Nathan was a regular there.

Kathryn seemed to plan to bump into Nathan there.

I sneered.

In my previous life, Kathryn successfully hooked up with Nathan there.

But ultimately, she failed, as the plan was thwarted by Brodie.

"By the way, Mr. Lambert has been visiting the Elite Club frequently as well," Emily added.

It was not surprising.

Those two were inseparable wherever they went.

I glanced at my phone. Brodie had just messaged me that he had to work late this evening.

What work did he do?

"Book a private room for me for this evening," I said to Emily. "Make sure it's on the floor, which Nathan often visits."

At eight o'clock, I arrived at the Elite Club on time.

Soon after I sat down, I heard familiar voices from the next room. "Nathan, let me toast to you." It was Kathryn.

I asked the waiter to turn on the surveillance video.

Kathryn, in an elegant evening dress, sat shyly beside Nathan, while Brodie lurked in a corner, glaring at them.

What a show!

I took out my phone and quietly recorded the scene.

Although the footage wasn't clear, it was enough to prove that Brodie and Kathryn were not working late.

Just as I was about to put away my phone, I saw Brodie stand up and walk towards Kathryn.

"Kathryn, what are you doing here?" He feigned surprise.

Kathryn's face changed, and he quickly explained. "Brodie, I'm here with a client..."

"And who is this?" Nathan glanced at Brodie unhappily.

"I'm her cousin-in-law," Brodie answered word by word.

The room fell silent instantly.

I smirked and turned on the recording app on my phone.

The good drama was only beginning.

"Cousin-in-law?" Nathan frowned and asked, "Kathryn, who is your cousin..."

"She's the CEO of the Harvey Group." I pushed open the door and appeared at the right moment.

All three turned to look at me, and their expressions varied.

"Susanna!" Kathryn stood up in a panic.

"Honey..." Brodie's face changed as well.

I smiled and walked up to Nathan. "Mr. Graham, nice to meet you. What a coincidence to meet you here."

"Ms. Susanna Harvey?" Nathan looked surprised. "I've heard the CEO of the Harvey Group is young and accomplished. You look really awesome."

"I'm flattered, Mr. Graham." I chuckled and continued, "But I'm curious why my fiancé and my cousin are here."

Kathryn quickly explained the situation to me, saying, "Susanna, I'm here for work..."

"Oh, really?" I looked at her elegant evening dress meaningfully and said, "Are you dressed like this for work?"

Brodie stepped forward and said, "Honey, I'm here to meet a client..."

"That's funny," I interrupted him and said, "I'm here to meet a client too. Mr. Graham, why don't we go somewhere else for a chat?"

Nathan glanced at Kathryn thoughtfully and nodded. "I'd be honored."

Before leaving, I deliberately turned to look at Kathryn.

She bit her lip, and her eyes were full of resentment.

Brodie's face was livid with anger.

He never expected his carefully crafted plan to be easily disrupted by me.

That was good. The first step of the plan was complete.

Now, let me see what other tricks they had up their sleeves.

Back at the office, I was reviewing Kathryn's personal information when Emily rushed in. "Miss Harvey, there's news you might find interesting."

She handed over a document and said, "I found out that Kathryn had a medical record at William Hospital during her university years."

I raised my eyebrows and signaled her to continue. "The diagnosis records are sealed, but I found a nurse who was there at the time. She said it was for an abortion operation."

My fingers paused slightly.

How did I not know about that in my previous life?

"And there's something even more important." Emily lowered her voice. "Based on the timeline of the medical records, Kathryn was dating Nathan at the time."

That was quite the unexpected revelation.

It seemed Kathryn's past was even more complicated than I had imagined.

"Find out where the doctor who handled the case is." I said to Emily, "No matter the cost, get that diagnosis record."

Emily nodded and left.

I leaned back in my chair and recalled what had happened yesterday evening.

At the Elite Club, I deliberately exposed the "chance meeting" between Kathryn and Brodie in front of Nathan.

Although I pretended to know nothing, I was sure that Nathan had already noticed something, as he was smart.

Sure enough, Brodie came to me and explained it this morning. "Honey, what happened yesterday evening was a misunderstanding."

He looked apologetic and said, "I went to meet a supplier for a collaboration and happened to bump into Kathryn there."

I pretended to be annoyed. "So neither of you answered my calls because you were busy talking about business?"

"I'm sorry..." Brodie held my hand and said, "I should have told you about it before. Don't worry. There's nothing between Kathryn and me."

I shook off his hand. "Really? Then, do you know about her relationship with Nathan?"

Brodie's expression changed slightly. "Do they have a relationship?"

"Don't play dumb," I sneered. "Don't you know she's been seducing Nathan?"

Brodie clenched his fists and tried to stay calm. "Honey, don't listen to rumors. Kathryn will never do that."

"I hope so." I looked at him meaningfully. "But if I find out there's something improper between you and her, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Brodie hurriedly made a promise. "We won't. Trust me."

After Brodie left, I turned on my phone and reviewed the video and audio recordings I secretly took yesterday evening. Although the footage wasn't clear, it was enough to prove the relationship between those two scoundrels.

But it wasn't the time to expose them now.

I wanted them to perform a bit longer in that play.

In the afternoon, Kathryn came to me. "Susanna, I heard you had a pleasant chat with Nathan," she said, pretending to be casual.

I glanced at her and said, "So? Are you interested in Nathan?"

Kathryn quickly shook her head. "I'm just concerned about your business."

"Really?" I stood up and poured her a cup of coffee. "Then, do you know who he's been pursuing lately?"

Kathryn's hand trembled, and the coffee was spilled. "I... I don't know."

"It is said she is a wealthy young woman named..." I deliberately paused before continuing, "Isabel?"

Kathryn's face changed dramatically as I expected.

Isabel Holland was Nathan's fiancée, and his family had chosen her for him.

In my previous life, Nathan eventually abandoned Kathryn because of Isabel.

"Susanna, are you and Nathan... close?" Kathryn asked cautiously.

I smiled and didn't answer her question. Instead, I asked, "What do you think would happen if I told the Holland family about what happened yesterday evening?"

Kathryn stood up abruptly. "Susanna! You can't do that!"

"Why not?" I retorted, "Do you have something to hide?"

"I..." Kathryn bit her lip. "Please don't say anything about it."

"Alright," I said slowly. "But you have to do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"I heard the Holland family is planning to acquire a tech company. Help me find out the details." I added meaningfully, "Aren't you quite familiar with Nathan?"

Kathryn's face turned pale, but she had no choice but to agree to do what I asked her to.

After she left, I gave a cold smile.

I deliberately released such false news.

So I let her investigate it. I hoped that the Holland family would discover that she was prying into their trade secrets.

Just then, my phone rang.

Emily sent me a message that she found that doctor.

It was so great. So I could uncover Kathryn's past.

The drama was just beginning.

Her history with Nathan back then must be quite fascinating.

In the evening, I was in a high-end café.

"Dr. Blakely, it's been a while." I looked at the middle-aged woman in a white coat across from me. "I heard you're now the head of the obstetrics department at undefined. Right?"

Dr. Blakely adjusted her glasses and said, "Ms. Harvey, you reached out to me about the medical record from five years ago?"

I nodded with a smile. "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you."

"That medical record has been sealed," Dr. Blakely said, seeming troubled. "The patient's privacy..."

I took out a check from my handbag and said, "This is a donation to the hospital. It is enough to build a new ward. Don't you think?"

Dr. Blakely hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, there was something special during that surgery."

"Oh?" I was intrigued.

"During the pre-surgery examination, we discovered that the fetus was already three months old." Dr. Blakely sighed, "According to regulations, the surgery couldn't be performed, but the patient insisted on it."

I felt a twinge in my heart. "And then?"

"Her boyfriend caused a scene at the hospital. He threatened to report us to the health department if the surgery wasn't done." Dr. Blakely shook her head and added, "Eventually, their family stepped in to settle the matter."

I said thoughtfully, "Was the boyfriend's family name Graham?"

Dr. Blakely looked at me in surprise. "How did you know?"

I smirked and said, "Just a guess."

As I left the café and was about to get into my car, I suddenly saw Kathryn across the street.

She was talking to a man and looked anxious.

Then I recognized it was Brodie.

I discreetly took out my phone and snapped a few photos of them.

Just then, Kathryn suddenly slapped Brodie across the face.

It was interesting.

Their relationship didn't seem to be as good as it appeared.

Back at the office, I summoned Emily.

"Check Brodie's recent financial transactions." I toyed with the pen in my hand and added, "I suspect he has a secret stash."

Emily quickly returned with the result. "Ms. Harvey, we found a bank card under Brodie's name that receives a monthly transfer of fifty thousand."

She handed over a document and added, "It is from the Graham Group."

I sneered, "This double-crosser turns out to have been bought by the Graham family long ago."

It seemed that Brodie wasn't only Kathryn's accomplice but also an agent secretly placed by the Graham family beside me.

Then I understood why my company's secrets had mysteriously been leaked to the competitors in my previous life.

"By the way," Emily added, "the Graham Group is preparing a major project related to the tech company we're planning to acquire."

My eyes lit up. "It looks like Kathryn has taken the bait."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing." I shook my head and said, "Help me check one more thing. Five years ago, was Nathan involved with a woman at undefined..."

Before I could finish my words, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Susanna!" Kathryn stormed in, and her face was livid. "Why did you go and see Dr. Blakely?"

I raised my eyebrows and said, "You found out so quickly. So you must have informants at the hospital."

"You..." Kathryn gritted her teeth and said, "What are you trying to do?"

"Nothing." I smiled meaningfully. "I was just curious whether Nathan was the father."

Kathryn's face turned ghostly pale instantly.

"If you dare say anything..." She stared at me intently.

"And what will you do?" I stood up and looked down at her. "Will you have someone try to kill me as before?"

Kathryn was stunned. "What do you mean?"

I realized I had slipped. But it didn't matter.

She couldn't possibly know about my reincarnation.

"Nothing." I sneered, "I'm just reminding you that I hold the cards, so you'd better behave."

Kathryn bit her lip and ran out. Watching her retreating figure, I whispered, "This is just the beginning, Kathryn."
