Claiming My Rival's Ex-Wife As Mine

The freezing champagne hit Evelyn's face with a stinging slap.

Her husband, Jace, stood before her with pure disgust, holding his empty glass.

Beside him, his mistress Kaya clutched his arm, crying perfectly as Jace publicly accused Evelyn of pushing her.

"Evelyn, stop making a scene. It's over."

In her previous life, Evelyn had burst into tears and begged him not to leave her.

But her pathetic love only bought her absolute destruction.

Jace used the fake scandal to force a divorce, leaving her with nothing before leaking her family's pharmaceutical research to competitors.

Her father died under the weight of the bankruptcy, and her mother was driven completely insane.

Evelyn herself ended up locked in a sterile asylum, murdered by a smiling nurse with a cocktail of unknown drugs.

In her final moments, a mysterious presence revealed that her family's ruin was a calculated biological attack.

Until she died, she didn't realize the man she loved had planned to slaughter her family from the very beginning.

Opening her eyes again, the scent of spoiled grapes flooded her senses.

She was back at the gala, right at the beginning of the end.

But this time, the desperate wife was dead.

Evelyn calmly poured a glass of ice water over her own head, washing away the last of her old self.

"A divorce? Of course. My lawyer will be in touch tomorrow."
