After Sophia finished speaking, she immediately locked eyes will Owen. | was just casually saying, but really,

hate seeing the constant conflict in your family"

Sophia pretended to be offering sincere advice, acting as though she was genuinely trying to help them. "Mr.

Hastings, | know you value your reputation and wouldn't want to sacrifice your daughter's happiness unless

absolutely necessary. How about this-leave it to me. | "You always know what to do. Heather grasped Sophia's

hand, her face full of gratitude.

The difference between Heather and Sophia was stark. At this moment, just seeing Heather filled Owen with

disgust and revulsion. He thought. If it weren't for Heather's family's influence, why would | have married such a

fool instead of Sophia Meanwhile, a luxurious yacht was anchored in the middle of the sea.

On the deck, a man tightly bound suddenly shuddered awake, the breeze jolting him to consciousness. Terrified,

he glanced around and saw nothing but endless ocean, causing his entire body to tremble in fear. "Wh-who are

you?" Ophelia emerged from the cabin, draped in a black coat. At the sight of his repulsive face, memories of the

tragic end of her previous life flashed vividly in her mind. "Mr. Noyes, it's been a while."

Ronald looked up, and when he saw Ophelia's innocent face, lust flickered in his gaze. He quickly remembered.

Isn't this the girl who was supposed to be my entertainment last night? But she failed to show up in my room.

Ronald said, "Have we met before? We don't have any grudges. Why did you bringhere? Look, letgo, and

I'll give you whatever you want. He wriggled, utterly clueless about Ophelia's intentions.

"Really? You'll giveanything | want?" Ophelia blinked, her tone as innocent as a child's

Seeing this, Ronald grinned, sleazy. "Of course," he said, his tone laced with lecherous deceit.

"Then I'll take your life," Ophelia replied, her harmless smile widening. Her doe-like eyes narrowed slightly as if

she were joking, but their coldness sent chills down Ronald's spine.

Ronald shuddered. "Wh-what kind of joke is this?"

"Do | look like I'm joking?" Ophelia asked.

Caleb and Barrett stepped forward from either side, binding Ronald's hands apart like a prisoner about to be

tortured. Before Ronald could respond, a strip of black tape was slapped across his mouth, silencing him.

Terrified, he looked at Ophelia as he tried to retreat, but his body was immobilized.

"Mrs. Sinclair, it's about to get messy. Perhaps you'd prefer to rest in the cabin," Caleb suggested.

"No need," Ophelia replied calmly, her expression unchanged. Her clear eyes, though, were frosted with an icy

determination. She wanted to witness it-watch as Ronald died helplessly, just as she had in her previous life.

Caleb raised a whip soaked in seawater and lashed it across Ronald's body again and again

Ronald's screams echoed, but no one would hear out in the desolate sea or cto his rescue. His clothes were

soon shredded, his skin torn and bleeding. Just like Ophelia had been

Each tRonald passed out from the pain, Barrett would douse him with a bucket of seawater, forcing him back

into consciousness. The torment was unbearable. His bloated, grotesque face flushed and paled as he silently

screamed. "That should do it." Ophelia finally said, pulling out a knife and tossing it to Caleb.

Caleb quickly took the knife, discarding the whip as he began stabbing Ronald methodically in various parts of

his body. Each stab was shallow, not deep enough to kill, but enough to make him bleed profusely.

In no time, Ronald's body looked like a honeycomb, riddled with holes, with no untouched spot left.

Ronald convulsed in pain, his eyes half-closed, barely clinging to life. "Attach the sandbags and throw him into

the sea, Ophelia ordereil.

"Got it," Caleb and Barrett responded, promptly setting to work

As Ophelia turned and walked back into the cabin, Barrett muttered to Caleb while untying the ropes, "Who

would've thought someone as innocent and sweet-looking as Mrs. Sinclair could be this ruthless? She even

knows about using sandbags to sink him. You think Mr. Sinclair can handle her at home?"

Caleb shot Barrett a warning look. "Shh! You'd better watch your mouth. She might decide you're next"

Barrett instantly shut up.

A loud splash echoed as water erupted from the sea. The surface was quickly stained with blood. At this

moment, Ronald ceased to exist. Ophelia watched it all unfold with a cold, detached gaze, exhaling slowly.

Unconsciously, she becmore and more like Kenneth in her ways. The next day, news broke that the Lewis

and Hastings families would unite through marriage, with the wedding set for three days later.

It was happening at nearly the stas in Ophelia's previous life, but this time, everything felt worlds apart.

It was close to holidays, and few people got married at this time

The wedding was rushed, and nothing was properly prepared-there were no engagement photos, and even the

wedding dress was rented.

Emily stood in front of the mirror, staring at herself in the wedding gown. The marks on her skin hadn't yet

faded, so she couldn't wear anything revealing. She had to cover herself from head to toe. Her eyes brimmed

with hatred, no longer the naive girl she once was. Emily reminded herself that she had to survive, for revenge

awaited her. She needed to ensure that Ophelia met a miserable. end, and she had to stay alive to see it

through.

"Emily, why didn't Max cwith you today?" Heather glanced toward the entrance of the bridal shop, frowning.

It didn't seem right for the bride to try on her wedding dress without the groom present.

Sophia chimed in, trying to soothe Heather. "It's the end of the year, all the companies are busy. Let's cut him

sslack." Heather sighed and walked over, taking Emily's hand. "You're about to get married. Cheer up a

little."

Emily sneered inwardly, 'Cheer up? How can | possibly cheer up She had seen through it all. She was nothing

more than a pawn in this marriage alliance, and they'd even resorted to such Hespicable methods to secure it.

Emily pulled her hand back no longer bothering to hide her disdain for Heather "This one will do, she said coldly,

having lost all interest in trying on more dresses.

At Lewis Manor, Heather said, "Mrs Lewis, please have a look. Everything's been arranged. The party is booked,

and the wedding will be held at the Highline Hotel. We'll make sure the Lewis family looks good."

Heather spoke as if she were Aubrey Lewis' subordinate despite being the mother of Aubrey's son's future wife

From the start, the Lewis family hadn't lifted a finger. It was the Hastings family rushing around, taking care of

everything

"Look good Then why didn't you book the Everland Hotel?" Aubrey's tone was sharp, offering Heather and Owen

no good look. "Max could ve married a Carnegie, but look what happened. Your family pulled quite the trick,

raising such a seductive girl and using such underhanded tactics"

The muscles on Owen's face twitched, and his face turned red. No matter what they said, he could only endure it

now. As long as the wedding was done, the interests of the Hastings family and the Lewis family would be tied

together. The company would have cash flow.
