Last life, he called out the wrong name at our wedding, and his first love tragically jumped from the building during the ceremony.
Her suicide note was exposed, branding me as the undeniable homewrecker.
I was fired, subjected to relentless online abuse, received death threats, and ultimately died tragically on the streets.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day his first love was threatening to jump.
This time, don't be in such a rush to die.
I'll personally drag you both to hell.
"Chloe! What are you spacing out for?! Explain your relationship with Daniel right now!"
A sharp, urgent female voice pierced the air.
I snapped back to reality, realizing I was standing on a rooftop.
Before me was Brittany, in a wedding dress, swaying precariously on the edge in the fierce wind, her eyes brimming with tears.
Everyone was staring at me, their faces etched with anxiety and confusion.
I suddenly realized I was back at the critical turning point of my life.
Any second now, Brittany would leap, using her own death to firmly place the monumental blame squarely on my shoulders.
She would falsely accuse me of being the mistress who drove her to her death.
"Chloe! What are you doing staying silent at a time like this! Are you deliberately trying to kill Brittany?!" Sarah, the bridesmaid, urged again.
"Chloe, please... save Brittany!" Daniel, the groom, pleaded, his voice trembling.
I said sharply, "Brittany, Daniel and I have had absolutely nothing to do with each other for a long time."
"I have a boyfriend, and you know him too." I pointed to the man, "Your brother, Julian!"
The four of them looked astonished, but Brittany quickly snapped back, screaming through her tears.
"You're lying! You just got back from abroad, how could you know my brother! You're just trying to fool me!"
"I knew you wouldn't admit it!"
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, leaning out further!
In a flash, I spoke quickly, "Julian. Graduated from Berkeley College of Music, a traveling violinist, loves to fly all over the world. He owns two golden retrievers. He's two years older than you, but he's not your biological brother."
"We've been together for two years. Believe it or not."
"Really? Julian?"
Julian responded calmly, "It's true. Come down, and I'll explain everything to you."
After a prolonged standoff.
Brittany finally jumped back into Daniel's arms.
I sank to the ground, drenched in a cold sweat.
However, it wasn't over yet. Julian, who had left and then returned, suddenly stood in front of me.
Silhouetted against the light, he asked in a deep voice, "Ms. Xu... I mean, Chloe, who are you? How do you know all these private details about me?"
