Chapter 4The Graveyard Switch

Over the next two weeks, I gradually took on more and more work.

My boss was extremely pleased, even telling me that if I finished my current project, I would be put in charge of my own.

Naturally, I was highly motivated.

Meanwhile, Jason and Lilly kept calling me relentlessly.

I didn’t bother answering and eventually blocked their numbers.

I thought blocking them would be the end of it, but Jason and Lilly were like barnacles, constantly calling from different numbers.

Every time Jason called, I just hung up.

My friend told me that Lilly had been having a miserable time.

The car accident had completely messed up her face.

She was still in the hospital and needed reconstructive surgery.

Jason had broken a rib, too.

On top of that, Lilly had apparently dragged Jason into a high-stakes gambling session shortly before the accident.

They lost everything.

They were now deep in debt.

My friend was relieved when they heard I had broken up with Jason.

“Chloe, you don’t know. They lost the money gambling, and then crashed the car while fighting about it!”

“And now they’re trying to borrow money from everyone!”

“Chloe, if Jason begs you, don't you dare give in. He was constantly with Lilly even when you two were together. You could barely tell who his real girlfriend was!”

I laughed when I heard my friend’s warning: “I got it.”

Then I hung up.

I hadn’t expected Lilly’s bad luck to kick in so quickly.

Last life, after she left the grave, she and Jason left to celebrate her getting the job offer.

It turns out they were going to a gambling den together.

Lilly assumed her luck would be amazing, so she was reckless. She had no idea I had already rewritten her fate this time.

Hearing the news about them made me happy.

They were certainly in for a lot more trouble.

The next morning, I woke up to Jason’s call again.

This time, his voice was more desperate than ever.

“Chloe, please come back! I really need you!”

“Jason, did you forget? I already broke up with you.”

I spoke calmly into the phone, ignoring his desperation.

Jason’s voice became more frantic: “Chloe, I never agreed to that!”

“How can you break up with me right after I got hurt? That’s not right! You have to take responsibility for me!”

I scoffed at his words: “Jason, you and Lilly got into an accident together. Why should I be responsible?”

“Besides, aren’t you and Lilly doing great together?”

I said coldly: “Also, Jason, we are over.”

“So, please stop calling me in the future!”

I was about to hang up, but then I heard Lilly’s cold voice suddenly cut in from the other end.

“Chloe, that wasn’t your parents’ grave, was it? What exactly did you do?”
