After Rebirth, She Became a Real Billionaire

In the luxurious dressing room of the wedding shop, a woman stood in front of the mirror wearing a white wedding dress. Her skin was as white as snow, her long, beautiful eyelashes resembling butterfly wings, and her red lips as vibrant as a rose.

This woman was Renea Morris, the adopted daughter of the Morris family.

"Miss Morris, you look very beautiful in this wedding gown," the shop assistant beside Renea said, her voice full of admiration.

"Thank you," Renea replied softly, meeting the assistant's gaze through the mirror.

Renea stared at her reflection and took a deep breath. Tomorrow was the day she had been waiting for all these years. Tomorrow, she was going to marry Jasper Thomas, the man she had loved for as long as she could remember.

At this moment, she should have been feeling happy, nervous, or even excited...

However, unease stirred in her chest.

Something didn't feel right, though she couldn't pinpoint why.

As Renea was lost in her thoughts, the curtain of the dressing room was suddenly thrown open by someone. Then a man in a white suit stormed in like a gust of wind. It was Jasper.

Before Renea could react or comprehend what was happening, Jasper grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the wall.

Everyone in the shop was shocked by Jasper's sudden actions and screamed in fear. They took a step back and looked terrified.

Renea's face turned crimson from the lack of oxygen as she struggled against his grasp, but Jasper didn't loosen his hold. His cold, furious eyes bore into hers as he demanded, "Renea Morris, do you know what you've done wrong?"

Renea tried to shake her head, as she didn't know what was going on. However, Jasper had held her neck so tightly that she was not able to move...

"Don't play innocent with me, you bitch!" Jasper spat, his voice dripping with venom. He tightened his grip further before pulling his phone from his pocket with his other hand. He shoved it in front of her face and pressed play.

As soon as the video started playing, Renea's face turned pale as a sheet of paper... "Faster... Ah! I can't take it anymore... Faster!"

The whole dressing room was filled with blush-inducing moans, making the atmosphere awkward. In the video, the woman was naked and she was entwined with the man on the bed.

However, what was even more shocking, was that the woman in the video was, Renea Morris, however, the man in the video was not Jasper.

The man in the video looks tall and has a well-maintained body. However, the face of the man was not visible, and only birthmark-like butterfly wings were visible on his shoulder blade.

Renea looked at the video with a stunned face. She knew that the video was real and was not synthesized.

The memories of that fateful night flooded her mind like fragments of a broken film reel.

That night, Renea had gone to a bar for her bachelorette party with her stepsister, Kailey. The party had been Kailey's idea. She said that it was a party to to bid farewell to singlehood and welcome her new life.

But it turned into a nightmare.

Renea only remembered drinking with Kailey, laughing and chatting, until she began to feel lightheaded and an unnatural heat spread through her body.

Kailey had led her to a private room, telling her to rest. After that, everything went blank.

The next morning, Renea woke up alone in bed, her body aching in ways that told her what had happened. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall anything beyond that dizzying haze.

She didn't even know who was the man with whom she slept with.

The other people in the room looked at Renea with eyes full of disdain and the murmurs of them filled the room.

"What a disgrace! How can she cheat on her fiancé right before her wedding?"

"What else you can expect from a woman like her. She is just a fake rich daughter pretended to be elegant and graceful. Deep down in her heart she was not much better than a slut!"

Their scornful words reached Renea's ears, but she barely heard them. All she cared about was Jasper. The more important thing for now was to explain everything to Jasper.

"Jasper, it's not what you think! Let me explain!" Renea pleaded, using all her strength to wrestle the phone from his hand.

But Jasper didn't give her the chance. He pocketed the phone and sneered. "Explain? It's too late, Renea. The video is already all over the internet. Everyone around the world knows what kind of person you are now!"

Jasper looked at Renea with his eyes full of disgust, as he said, "Let's call of the wedding. I can't marry a woman like you."

With those words, Jasper pushed her away forcefully and stormed out of the shop.

The shove sent Renea crashing to the ground, her head hitting the corner of the dressing table. Blood trickled down her forehead.

However, Renea didn't care about the pain or blood on her forehead. The only thing running in her mind at this moment was...

She had to explain Jasper everything and she couldn't let him go like this...

Ignoring the throbbing pain in her body, Renea stood on shaky legs. She gathered her long heavy wedding dress and stumbled after Jasper...

"I can't lose him... I have to save our relationship," she whispered desperately to herself as she chased after him.

When Renea walked out of the bridal shop, she saw a white BMW parked outside. A woman in a bright red dress stepped out of the car and greeted Jasper with a smile.

The woman was none other than Kailey.

Renea held up her heavy wedding dress and ran toward the car. She wanted to explain to Jasper that she hadn't cheated on him.

However, Jasper didn't even give her a chance to speak. Without looking at Renea, who was running toward him, he opened the door of the BMW and sat down. Then he looked at Kailey, who was standing outside, and urged her to get in.

But Kailey didn't get in. Instead, she looked at Jasper and smiled sweetly. Then, turning toward Renea, who was running over in a mess, she said, "Jasper, you leave first. I have something to talk to Renea about."

Jasper looked at her for a moment before nodding. He then instructed the driver to leave. Soon, his car disappeared into the crowd.

By the time Renea reached them, Jasper was already gone. Seeing this, panic surged through her. She grabbed Kailey's hand and said, "Kailey, Jasper has misunderstood me. You know what happened that day-it was all a misunderstanding. Kailey, please, you have to help me explain to Jasper. You know how much I love him... right?"

Renea's voice trembled as she spoke, her hands shaking as she clutched Kailey's arm.

Kailey held Renea's trembling hand, and the gentle smile on her face vanished, replaced by a cold expression.

She looked at Renea as if she were a fool and said, "Renea, there's no need for you to explain anything."

Renea was so distraught that she didn't notice the cold smile on Kailey's face. She turned in the direction of Jasper's car and said, "No, I have to explain to Jasper. I..."

"What's the point of explaining to someone who planned everything from the start?" Kailey interrupted, shaking off Renea's hand.

Hearing this, Renea froze. She stared at Kailey in confusion, unable-or unwilling-to comprehend the meaning behind her words.

"Why do you look so shocked, Renea? Did you really think Jasper loves you and wanted to marry you?" Kailey sneered. "Let me tell you, the entire video incident was planned by Jasper so he could rid himself of this stupid marriage to you. He's the one who sent you to another man's bed, and he spent a wonderful night with me while you were there."

"Renea, you're just the adopted daughter of the Morris family. Did you really think Mom and Dad would let you inherit the Morris family estate?"

Every word Kailey spoke was like a dagger to Renea's heart, leaving her broken and bleeding.

Kailey's gaze turned icy as she continued, "Renea, why do you look so surprised? You're nothing but a thief-a thief who stole my identity and everything that belongs to me. I'm the real daughter of the Morris family, yet you lived the life of a rich daughter. And now you even want to take the inheritance that's rightfully mine."

"Ha! Dream on! I won't let you have anything that belongs to me-the family, the property, or even Jasper. It's all mine." Kailey said coldly. Her whole face was filled with coldness and viciousness...

Renea froze, her mind spinning as Kailey's words echoed in her ears. In that moment, memories from the past played before her eyes like a movie. She finally understood that everything that had happened was all part of their scheme...

The indulgence from her adoptive parents, her brother leading her to bars, and Kailey's pretense of kindness...

They had only wanted to strip her of her dignity and pride at this very moment.

But why?

What had she done to deserve this from the Morris family?

Renea had been adopted by the Morris family at a young age. At the time, her adoptive parents had told the public that their real daughter was missing and that they had adopted Renea to heal their pain.

When Renea joined the Morris family, she had been overjoyed, thinking she finally had parents like other children. But she had never received love or care from her adoptive parents.

No matter how well she performed in school or how many awards she won, they remained cold and indifferent...

In short, in the Morris family, except for her grandfather, no one had ever treated her well.

However, not long after her grandfather's death, her adoptive parents suddenly announced that they had found their real daughter and brought Kailey home.

Renea had always felt guilty toward Kailey, believing she had taken her place. She worked hard to make Kailey feel welcome and even dimmed her own brilliance to let Kailey shine.

But now, she realized how foolish she had been...

It turned out that they did everything for the inheritance her grandfather had left behind. The love and care she had given them meant nothing when compared to money.

Thinking all of this now, Renea felt that all of this was too ridiculous.

Renea's heart burned with anger as she glared at Kailey. "Kailey Morris, I won't let you succeed in your plans. I'll tell the world what kind of evil people the Morris family are. I'll expose your true colors for everyone to see."

With that, Renea lifted her heavy wedding dress and turned to leave.

Kailey watched her walk away and sneered. Looking at the car parked nearby, she said mockingly, "Renea, you won't get the chance. Tomorrow, the entire city will know that the adopted daughter of the Morris family committed suicide out of guilt and shame."

Renea froze in her tracks, her heart sinking as she turned to face Kailey. She saw the vicious smile on her face.

"Tomorrow, the headlines will be all about you," Kailey said with a cruel grin.

Before Renea could react, Kailey strode forward and shoved her onto the road. As soon as she pushed, Renea, a car sped toward Renea and hit her...

Renea flew through the air because of the force and with a loud "bang" she was thrown to the ground. Renea was lying on the ground as the blood flowed from her head. Her white wedding dress now soaked with blood. Pain shot through her entire body...

Renea looked at Kailey, who stood across the road, smiling mockingly. Her heart filled with regret and despair.

"No... No... I can't die like this," Renea mumbled. Her vision blurred as darkness consumed her. "I have to live... I need to get my revenge..."

But no matter how hard she tried, her body wouldn't move. Slowly the world around her grew quiet, fading to black...

****

Not far away, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up to the scene. A man in a black suit stepped out and strode toward Renea, checking her pulse. He furrowed his brows and his expression darkened.

At the very moment, another man, wearing a perfectly tailored suit, got out of the car. His striking features ,icy gaze and elegant demeanor radiated authority.

The man in the black suit said, "Sir, we are late."

Aron Kingston frowned deeply. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Give her a proper burial."

Boom!

A loud bang echoed as two cars collided. Then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, splitting the dark heavens with a flash of light.

Because of the collision, the girl sitting in the back seat hit the front seat, and she frowned in pain.

Renea slowly opened her eyes and looked around. For a moment, she didn't know what was going on.

She remembered Kailey throwing her in front of a car...and her dying. Then, as she looked around, she realized she was sitting in a car.

'Was I sitting in the car that took me to heaven? Then why do I still feel pain?' she thought to herself.

Still in confusion, her eyes fell on the woman sitting next to her in thin clothes. The moment she saw her, Renea's eyes turned cold. It was Kailey.

Seeing her sitting there, Renea's eyes filled with anger. Everything Kailey had done to her in the past played in her mind like a movie. Renea clenched her fists, ready to strangle her, when the driver's voice fell on her ears.

"Miss Renea, are you alright? Someone just came in front of our car, so I had to use the emergency brake."

The driver's words snapped her back to reality. Hearing them, Renea paused. This scene felt eerily familiar...

She turned to look out the window and was shocked by the view. She recognized this road-she could never forget it. It was the road she had traveled seven years ago to bring Kailey into the Morris family.

'Was I reborn? Did God give me another chance?' Renea thought, pinching herself to check. As soon as she did, she felt a pain...

After confirming that she was not dreaming and it was true, Renea turned her gaze back to Kailey, her lips curling into a faint smile. But there was nothing warm about it-it was cold and chilling.

Even though she wanted to kill her on the spot, Renea knew it wasn't the right time. Besides, she wasn't going to grant her such an easy death. No, she would make sure Kailey lived a life worse than death itself.

Sensing the cold gaze on her, Kailey raised her head. Her eyes radiated an air of purity and innocence that stirred pity in anyone who looked at her.

In her previous life, Renea had been deceived by those innocent, pitiful eyes and felt guilt. She naively tried to make amends.

But in this life, she knew better. Behind that facade of innocence lay the heart of a snake, ready to strike at any moment.

"Renea, do you think Mom and Dad will like me?" Kailey asked nervously, her hands clenched tightly between her legs.

"Of course, they'll like you. After all, you're their real daughter," Renea replied with a smile.

However, her smiling eyes sent a chill through Kailey's heart. She felt that despite Renea 's friendly appearance, her gaze exuded an unsettling aura.

"Renea, I'm not trying to take Mom and Dad away from you by coming back with you," Kailey said, her voice trembling. "I just want to know what my biological parents look like. I'll be content as long as I can see them."

She sobbed, looking so pitiful that even the driver couldn't help but sympathize with her.

Renea sneered inwardly as she looked at Kailey's fair, smooth hands. She raised one and commented, "What delicate hands. It looks like your foster parents treated you very well all these years."

Kailey's heart skipped a beat. 'Could it be that Renea suspects something?'

Her mind raced. She remembered the privileges her parents and brother had granted her for years, visiting her every month despite the façade of her being a "lost" daughter.

At first she didn't agree with what her parents were doing, but her grandfather ordered them to do it.

But now that he was gone, she could finally return to the Morris family.

Then Renea should die. Still, Kailey quickly composed herself and answered, "Yes, they were kind to me."

In her past life, Renea hadn't thought much of Kailey's background. She had believed her foster parents' kindness relieved some of her guilt.

But now, she saw the truth clearly. How could someone from an impoverished, chaotic place like River Town have such delicate hands? No matter how kind her foster parents were, it was impossible for her to avoid household chores altogether.

Such smooth hands could only be maintained by someone who had never done any household chores.

Besides, Kailey was also proficient in piano, chess, dancing, and painting, which was not something the impoverished in the poor town could afford.

And the timing of the revelation-that Kailey was the real Morris daughter-had always been suspicious. Why had the truth surfaced mere weeks after her grandfather's death?

Renea still remembered that fateful day when Susan had taken her to donate blood.

She was sure that it was all part of their scheme to expose her true identity.

After all, how could a daughter who had been lost for eighteen years be found within just two weeks of the discovery that Renea was not their biological daughter?

Thinking of all this now, Renea's lips curled up into a mocking smile.

Renea wasn't mocking Kailey-she was mocking herself.

"How could I have been so blind in my past life?" Renea thought bitterly. The truth had always been there, but she had refused to see it.

For seven years, she had failed to see through their schemes and had willingly jumped into the fire pit they had dug for her.

'But this time will be different,' Renea vowed.

'First, I'll uncover what forced the Morris family into such a compromising situation.'
