Rebirth: Settling Past Life's Scores

I had been sponsoring a poor girl named Braelynn, who insisted on marrying a man named Jerred, who had just been released from prison and had been married before.

When my attempts to dissuade her failed, I decided to cut off her sponsorship after her marriage, as per our agreement.

Braelynn agreed on the surface but secretly complained to Jerred, saying I looked down on them as star-crossed lovers.

Provoked, Jerred stormed into my house and killed me.

Braelynn then told the investigating police that I had a mental illness and had committed suicide.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back at the moment when Braelynn had just confessed her feelings to me.

Without hesitation, I smiled and said, "Go ahead and marry him.

A man who's been married before will know how to care for you. "

"Sister, I really love him. Please let us be together, okay? "

Braelynn pleaded, her face pitiful. Looking at her, I finally felt the reality of my second chance at life.

Braelynn was the youngest among the students I sponsored.

Last year, she got into a university in my city.

Feeling sorry for her loneliness, I took her under my wing, providing meals and companionship, thinking I had given her enough sense of security.

But she was still not satisfied.

In my previous life, she somehow met Jerred, a man who had just been released from prison and was in a hurry to find someone to marry.

While other girls avoided him, Braelynn threw herself at him, believing only such a man could make up for the lack of male affection she had experienced since childhood.

She insisted on marrying him and secretly took her household registration document to get a marriage license.

As her sponsor, I couldn't just watch her ruin her bright future.

I tried to persuade her earnestly, even to the point where the school considered disciplinary action.

I gave Braelynn an ultimatum: if she insisted on being with this man, I would have to terminate her sponsorship as per our agreement.

From then on, her life would be her own responsibility, and I wouldn't give her another penny.

Reluctantly, Braelynn swore to break off her relationship with Jerred in front of me.

I thought she had come to her senses.

But she turned around and sent our chat records to Jerred, exaggerated the situation by saying I looked down on them as star-crossed lovers.

Jerred, who already had mental health issues, was provoked and stormed into my house with a knife.

When he stabbed me to death, Braelynn stood by and watched without lifting a finger to help.

I died with unresolved grievances.

When the police came to investigate, Braelynn tearfully claimed I had a mental illness and had harmed myself in a moment of despair.

With her testimony, the police had no choice but to close the case as a suicide.

After my death, Braelynn forged a new adoption contract with all my documents.

All my assets ended up in her and Jerred's hands, and I didn't even get a proper burial.

In the end, Braelynn spoke to my corpse, saying, "Don't blame me.

If you had agreed earlier, none of this would have happened. And why didn't you give me money?

I was your sponsored student. "

Hearing her brazen entitlement, I was almost enraged to the point of losing my soul.

I had acted out of kindness, only to raise a knife that would turn against me.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Braelynn standing in front of me, talking about her feelings for Jerred.

I smiled.

"Since you like him, go ahead and marry him. A man with experience knows how to treat a woman right. "

Braelynn was stunned. She hadn't expected me to agree so readily.

Given my previous tendency to meddle, it would have been unusual for me not to lecture her for days about how unsuitable this man was.

"What's wrong?

Aren't you happy that I agreed? "

I observed Braelynn's expression closely.

Didn't she think I was a busybody disrupting her happiness with that man?

Now that I was no longer interfering, they could do whatever they wanted.

"It's nothing. I'm just surprised. I'm really happy to have your blessing, big sister. "

Braelynn blinked, looking innocent and adorable.

If it weren't for my experiences in the previous life, I might have been fooled by her appearance.

Having said my piece, I didn't hesitate. I turned and went to the study, taking out the support agreement I had prepared earlier.

When I placed the agreement in front of Braelynn, her face changed instantly.

She stood up from the sofa, looking at me timidly.

"What does this mean, big sister?

Are you planning to stop supporting me? "

I couldn't help but laugh.

I pulled her hand and made her sit down again.

"Of course not.

According to our previous agreement, I will continue to support you until you finish college. Once you have the ability to work, you can pay me back. "

Over the years, I had supported many people.

I would support each of them until they found a job.

Most of them would come to me voluntarily after college to stop the support.

I would also give them a sum of money, believing that one should do more good deeds in life. They all had their difficulties, and I understood that.

But Braelynn was different.

Her family's situation was dire. Her father was a chronic alcoholic and gambler.

She had an older brother with cerebral palsy and a younger brother who was a troublemaker.

The family relied on her mother to earn a living.

When I first met Braelynn, she was small and frail, carrying a heavy sack of animal feed.

My heart broke at the sight, wondering how a little girl could be so pitiful.

So, I brought her out of the mountains, gave her the best education, and signed a support agreement with her that no one else had.

I didn't even ask for anything in return.

But I never expected to raise an ungrateful person.

Thinking of this, I found myself gripping Braelynn's hand tightly.

She cried out in pain, snapping me back to reality.

"But if you want to be with him, this support agreement will have to change. From now on, your treatment will be the same as everyone else I support. You can repay the money once you have the ability to work. "

I smiled, my face revealing no emotion.

After my death, I had done some soul-searching. Knowing that the other party was a scoundrel, I had still taken such an aggressive approach.

Things were different now.

I had a new method.

Rather than being the villain, I would let them face the consequences of their own actions.

Didn't Braelynn believe that love could conquer all?

Then let them see how long their so-called love could sustain them.

Seeing the difference will make them appreciate what they have.

At least, that's what Braelynn thought now.

She had expected me to cut off the support, but I had given her a new agreement instead.

Braelynn signed the agreement without hesitation.

I handed her the other contract.

Watching her leave happily, I quietly made a phone call.

If we're going to do this, we need to be thorough in every way.

After finishing these tasks, I immediately replaced the security door at my home.

I also went to another place to purchase a new property.

This home was no longer safe. Braelynn had been by my side for so many years and knew all my properties inside out. If Jerred went berserk, I would be left with no escape.

I looked at the background information on Jerred.

This man named Jerred had gotten married three years ago but had beaten his wife into a vegetative state after a violent outburst.

He had only recently been released.

Jerred was thirty-two years old, at the peak of his physical strength, and couldn't stand loneliness.

His parents had died early, leaving him alone.

Braelynn met him because her university was constructing a new building and had hired a group of construction workers from outside.

Jerred was among them.

According to Braelynn, she was immediately attracted to Jerred's impressive muscles the first time she saw him.

His fists were as big as sandbags.

Standing in front of the petite Braelynn, he could easily envelop her, giving her a strong sense of security.

When Braelynn said this, her eyes sparkled.

I found it amusing at the time.

A man like him wouldn't give Braelynn a sense of security with his fists; he would beat her to death.

Braelynn also said that Jerred treated her exceptionally well. If he earned two hundred yuan in a day, he would spend part of it to buy a dress for Braelynn and the rest to buy meat for her.

Sure, the dress was just a flimsy dress for their private moments, and the meat was something Braelynn couldn't digest, leaving Jerred to devour it all by himself.

It seems like they were a perfect match in their own twisted way.

Jerred, the brute, and Braelynn, the ingrate, were indeed a perfect match.

I anticipated that Braelynn would cause some trouble, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

When Braelynn's academic advisor called me, I was still in a daze.

By the time I rushed to the school, I found Braelynn and her dorm mates standing together, all with injuries on their faces.

It's rare for a university to call parents, but here we were, a group of concerned parents gathered together.

It looked quite ridiculous.

The academic advisor, holding her head in her hands, sat at her desk, looking helpless.

When she saw me, she quickly walked over.

"Are you Braelynn's sister? Do you know that Braelynn has been seeing a man recently? "

The academic advisor was quite young and seemed a bit embarrassed as she said this.

I didn't even have time to nod.

A parent nearby couldn't hold back and rushed up to me.

"You seem like a decent person, so how did you raise such a shameless sister who openly brings a man into the girls' dormitory?"

I was shocked.

Had Braelynn become so bold that she would bring a man directly into the dormitory?

Seeing my genuine surprise, a kind-hearted parent came over to explain what had happened.

Only then did I understand.

After Braelynn got into university, she was supposed to stay in the dormitory, but she messaged me right after her military training.

She said she couldn't fit into the dormitory environment.

When I asked her why, she said the dorm mates were forming cliques and bullying her.

I was busy with work at the time and didn't have the energy to mediate, so I gave Braelynn some money to live outside.

In this life, after she got together with Jerred, I changed the sponsorship contract, and that money disappeared along with it.
