Chapter 2The Graveyard Switch

After parting ways with Jason and Lilly, I immediately went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination.

The doctor assured me that I was perfectly healthy.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Last life, I died mysteriously from an illness. That outcome would certainly not be repeated this time.

When I got home, I received a phone call.

It was from the company I had been desperately wanting to join—a highly secretive, high-level defense firm.

They told me my interview was successful and asked me to start immediately.

I was stunned when I got the call.

In my past life, I never received this call.

Instead, Lilly was the one who got a call from a big tech company on her way back from the cemetery. But this time, clearly, I was the one hired.

Since the company was located in a different state, I quickly packed up everything and prepared to leave.

But just as I finished packing, Jason showed up.

“Chloe, Lilly didn’t get the job offer.”

Jason said, “She’s pretty upset, so I’m going over to comfort her.”

I listened to Jason and just smiled faintly: “That’s good. You should go.”

Jason looked me over carefully and asked, “Chloe, were your parents’ graves always there?”

I nodded instantly: “Of course!”

I knew Jason was suspicious.

After all, Lilly and Jason had gotten a fortune teller to read my Bazi (birth chart), and the fortune teller had said I had strong parental protection and would succeed at whatever I did.

That’s why they targeted me.

“Jason, would I forget where my own parents are buried?” I asked, pretending to be wounded.

Hearing that, Jason laughed: “You’re right, of course.”

“Well, I’m going to go be with Lilly now.” Jason said, looking at me.

I feigned concern for Lilly and told Jason to be sure to comfort her.

“Chloe, you usually hate it when I spend time with Lilly. Why are you rushing me off today?” Jason asked curiously before he left.

I chuckled: “I still don’t like it, but Lilly is sad, so go cheer her up.”

“Jason, I trust you completely.” I smiled, looking at him.

Jason nodded, seemingly satisfied, and then left.

The second Jason was gone, I quickly finalized everything and called my landlord.

I told them I was moving out immediately, not even bothering to collect my security deposit.

After all that, I bought the next flight out and rushed to the airport.

Only once I was at the gate did I finally relax. I knew that now, I was truly safe.

I couldn’t imagine what other schemes Lilly and Jason would come up with if I stayed.

There was no way I’d let them succeed this time.

As for Lilly, her bad luck was just starting.

After all, only I knew she had claimed a wild dog as her parent.

Plus, with the manure I poured on the site, I had already drained any remaining luck there might have been.

Lilly would only be met with bad fortune; she wouldn’t have a happy ending.

As for Jason, being with Lilly would only drag him down. So, naturally, I had to keep my distance from both of them.
