"Selena, you are finally going to die!"
Selena lay weakly in the hospital bed, unable to muster any strength, even her breathing was a struggle.
She managed to lift her head to look at the girl who once pledged to be closer than sisters with her, standing in front of her now with an incredibly chilling and deranged smile.
"Actually, your current predicament is entirely orchestrated by me."
Jennifer's voice was steady, exuding the composure of a victor.
"From the moment I moved into the Dawson family, I have been waiting for this moment."
Selena's heart jolted. Pieces of hazy memories came together- things from the past she couldn't comprehend suddenly became clear.
She was once the favored daughter of the Dawson family, and everyone's affections revolved around her.
It was only after that car accident, when her blood type didn't match that of the Dawson parents, did she discover she was not the Dawson family's biological child.
The Dawson family's biological daughter, Jennifer, had already been found and returned by the time she awakened from her accident.
At that time, Selena planned to leave, but Jennifer insisted on her staying, saying they could get along like real sisters and wanted her to continuously stay with the Dawson family.
At first, Selena felt sincerely grateful. She loved the Dawson family and couldn't bear to leave, after all, this was the place where she had grown up.
She thought that maybe Jennifer sincerely wanted to peacefully coexist with her.
But things didn't go the way she thought they would.
Jennifer appeared gentle and caring towards her on the surface, but was stealthily snatching away everything she possessed bit by bit.
Whether it was friends, family, or even the person she secretly loved, all of them were taken away by Jennifer.
She had once naively thought that all these were coincidences.
Now it seems, these were all part of Jennifer's scheme!
Thinking about these, Selena's chest heaved violently, with rage seething inside her.
"Why? Why do this to me?"
"Why?"
Jennifer leaned in, close to Selena's ear, her voice low and full of a sickly pleasure.
"There's a secret no one knows, Since you are about to die, I'll tell you."
"Actually, I'm a reborn."
Selena's pupils contracted violently, a violent shudder in her heart.
"Rebirth?"
What does that mean?
Has Jennifer gone mad, talking nonsense?
"That's right, rebirth."
Jennifer's smile became even more triumphant.
"In your previous life, you were cherished by everyone, successful and even had a man who loved you so deeply. Seeing you live a prosperous and thriving life, I was driven to madness with jealousy."
"I am the real daughter of the Dawson family, all these are rightfully mine. Why should a counterfeit like you be entitled to such blessings?"
"Thus, this life, I returned specially, just to destroy you and reclaim what belongs to me."
Selena’s voice was faint, but filled with a long-suppressed hatred.
"But you already have everything from the Dawson family, why are you still treating me this way?"
Upon hearing this, Jennifer's smile grew even more radiant.
"Do you think I have everything? How naive! It's not enough, it's far from enough!"
"I want not only the favor of the Dawson family, the attention of everyone; I want to make everyone completely forget about you. Only I, Jennifer, can be the most dazzling presence!"
Selena's breathing became rapid, and the world in front of her seemed to collapse at this moment.
She finally understood why everything of hers came crumbling down like an avalanche after Jennifer's return.
"In this world, there is something called destiny's recompense."
Jennifer's voice was as cold as poison, seeping into Selena's ears.
"In this life, I am reborn, this is the compensation bestowed upon me by the heavens."
"I know all about your future, your future achievements, and I plan to snatch them all away. I want you to watch helplessly as you lose everything, plummeting into the abyss!"
Selena gritted her teeth, unable to hold back the anger in her heart.
"So it is for this laughable jealousy that you want to ruin me?"
"That's right."
Jennifer lightly clapped her hands, her eyes kindling a gleam of madness.
"Not only do I want to ruin you, but I also want to trample you underfoot. I want you to be the stepping stone on my path to success!"
"Have you not noticed? Those who once revolved around you are now flocking to me. And you, you can only helplessly lie here, watching me replace everything that was once yours!"
The heart of Selena shattered completely, pain and resentment intertwining.
"I hate you, Jennifer..."
Her voice trembled, mustering all the strength she had to squeeze out these words from her throat.
Jennifer leaned over her, her gaze cold and mocking.
"Hate away, Selena, your hatred can't change anything."
"In this lifetime, I will stand on the peak you once dreamed of, while you can only watch me enjoy everything that should have belonged to you from hell!"
In the midst of Jennifer's manic laughter, Selena felt her vision blur and her life force steadily eroded, bit by bit.
She wanted nothing more than to use her last ounce of strength to tear to shreds the woman who had ruined her life.
But she was well aware, it was too late.
She was about to die.
Jennifer's scheme had succeeded.
In the end, she could only bear the surging hatred, weakly closing her eyes.
At that moment, there was only one thought left in her heart —
If there was an afterlife…
If she could be reborn…
She definitely!
Definitely would take back everything that should have belonged to her!
--
Inside the luxurious bedroom, Selena groggily opened her eyes.
She sat up abruptly.
"Ouch——"
Her head was throbbing painfully.
What's going on?
Hadn't she already died?
Looking around, Selena instantly realized that this was not her room in the Dawson family's house from seven years ago!
At this time, the maid pushed the door in and was overjoyed to see Selena awake.
"Miss! You're finally awake, that's fantastic!"
Seeing the maid, Selena wore a look of bafflement.
Subconsciously, she reached up and touched her head, only then noticing the thick bandages wrapped around it.
Suddenly, her memories flooded back in like a tidal wave.
She had actually been reincarnated!
Reincarnated back to seven years ago, the day that Jennifer, the green tea bitch, came back!
In her previous life, ever since Jennifer's return, Selena's life became like a roller coaster ride, only going downhill.
Her once close friends and family started to avoid her like the plague, her hard-earned good reputation was completely gone.
Even the man she secretly loved was effortlessly snatched away by Jennifer.
What was even more infuriating was that Selena became the target everyone wanted to get rid of, while they turned a blind eye to Jennifer's true colours.
Everyone was fooled by Jennifer's disguise, thinking she was an innocent little bunny, while they thought Selena was narrow-minded and had sinister intentions.
She held a strong grudge in her heart, wanting to oust Jennifer, but in the end, she was left with nothing.
Had she not heard Jennifer's final words before her death, she would never have known why all of this happened!
Reincarnation?
So this is what reincarnation feels like?
Selena looked around herself a bit dazed.
Seeing her in a trance, the maid walked to the bedside and touched her forehead worryingly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did the car accident cause some damage to your brain?"
Only then did Selena snap back to reality. She asked, "Has Jennifer returned home?"
The maid widened her eyes in disbelief and asked, "Miss, how did you know?"
Selena lowered her eyes, and a bitter smile pulled at the corner of her mouth.
It seemed to be exactly the same as her previous life.
In the last life, the day she woke up from the car accident coincided with the return of Jennifer.
Next, she had to face a cruel reality.
She was not the biological daughter of the Dawson family. The real heiress was Jennifer.
Selena had returned with memories from her previous life.
She had once thought of giving up her place to Jennifer. But this time, she was determined to change her fate.
She has to find her real parents!
