Although Charity was her friend, those words still made her feel creeped out.
Cate was initially fine. However, she started to tremble a little after Mireya’s actions. “Er… Lizzie, your joke went a little too far. Let’s not use a dead person to make jokes, okay?”
“I’m really Charity.”
Charity’s gaze was innocent and helpless. Did they not want to know the truth?
However, they did not believe her after she told them. “Back then, when I was sent to jail, Sarah came to see me and told me that my parents were dead. I could not accept it at all. It felt like I was possessed by vengeance. I wanted to escape and avenge my parents. During my community work on an island, I seized the opportunity to escape. But I fell into the sea and lost consciousness. After waking up, I realized I was in Eliza’s body.”
Mireya and Cate exchanged glances. The former blinked her eyes and said, “I know. You transmigrated. This is like the transmigration that’s talked about in novels.”
Cate’s mouth twitched. She still found it too bizarre. “This isn’t quite possible.”
“Maybe it’s because of this pendant.” Charity took a pendant out from her back. ” I used to live in the same area as Eliza. We’ve always been close. When I was young, my mom and Eliza’s mom went shopping together. They met a fortune teller. He gave Eliza and me a pendant each. Both pendants were the same. I recall the fortune teller saying that we would experience a tragedy in the future and that the pendant might be able to help US once.”
Mireya was not scared anymore. She went over and observed that pendant. It looked ancient and was warm to the touch. “Is there really such a magical thing?”
“Eliza happened to attempt suicide because of Monte at that time. I became Eliza after I woke up,” Charity said. “I didn’t dare to tell anyone the truth because Charity had escaped. Besides, this incident was too strange. It might bring the authorities a lot of trouble. Therefore, I pretended to have been overly stimulated after attempting suicide and made it seem as though I had become another person. I focused on my career. No one around me was suspicious.”
Mireya said, “Why didn’t you tell US earlier?”
“I asked about you guys before, but you two had gone overseas.” charity glanced at them. “Besides, you two were pretty miserable before going overseas. Cate was locked up in the mental hospital while Shaun dated Sarah. As for Mireya, the incident of you being bullied by Thomas was widely circulated. The public said that you couldn’t stand staying in the country, so you escaped to hide.”
Mireya and Cate were both embarrassed.
At that time, the two of them could not fend for themselves.
Even if Charity had shown up, they would not have been able to help her.
Charity said, “So all I could do was bear with it. I waited and took revenge using my own means.”
Cate sighed softly. “The means that you had taken revenge against Sarah and kidnapped her with the intention of torturing her to death.”
Charity dropped her eyes. “As Sarah killed people using hypnosis, I had difficulty searching for evidence. Moreover, Rodney and Shaun kept speaking up for her at that time, so I had no other alternatives. I didn’t mind dying with her. If Mireya hadn’t stopped me then, I wouldn’t be here telling you the truth.”
“I see.” Mireya saw the light. “When I found you that day, I was astounded by your gaze. It was so full of hatred for Sarah. You claimed to be charity’s childhood friend, but we were also her friends. Honestly… we wouldn’t have been able to go as far as you. It turned out that you were taking revenge for yourself.”
“Fortunately, you stopped me using the right means, so I didn’t kill her.” Charity said gratefully, “It was through your help that Sarah’s evil deeds were exposed and the truth of my parents’ death came to light.”
“Don’t say that, Charity.”
Cate said bitterly, “In fact, Mireya and I have regretted our actions. You were accused and sent to jail, yet we didn’t manage to help you. If you weren’t fortunate, you might’ve long since—“
“Helping someone requires energy. If I blamed both of you for this issue, it would be very unreasonable of me.”
Charity shook her head, and her gaze was direct. “What’s more, that’s the personal vendetta between Sarah and me. Since young, she always tricked and turned against me. Even without both of you, she would have used other means to deal with me. I just feel that my mom’s death is a pity. When she got to know my dad, she had no intention of eyeing any of his things. When they met, my dad was already single, yet Sarah and her brother insisted that my dad abandoned their mother only because he fell in love with my mom.”
Mireya and Cate sighed in a low voice. In truth, being a stepmother was difficult, especially with people like Sarah around.
No matter how nice Jennifer was, Sarah had her heart set on killing Jennifer.
After a long while, Cate said sincerely, “Charity, it’s fortunate that we can still sit and eat together. No wonder when I first saw you, you looked familiar to me. It felt as though we’ve known each other for a long time.”
“Yeah.” Mireya sighed. “Somehow, when I first saw you, I wanted to befriend you. You’ve been hiding the truth from US for so long, so why did you decide to let US know now?”
“Back then, I didn’t let you know because… I believed Eliza would come back one day. Perhaps the day I successfully took revenge would be the time I had to leave. But even after waiting for a long time, it didn’t happen.”
Charity curled her lips in a self- deprecating manner. “I guess Eliza was really heartbroken when she committed suicide, so she didn’t want to live anymore. She was tired of this world.”
“She was too fragile.” Cate said, “It wasn’t worthwhile behaving like that for the sake of a man.”
“She never had any relationships before that, and she grew up in a single-parent family. In fact, she yearned for love and a sense of security from others. However, Monte only wanted to have her to satisfy his inner desires.”
Cate could totally relate to that.
Some men were indeed scummy.
“So… Charity, are you planning to take revenge for Eliza?” Cate asked.
Charity nodded. “I plan to stand up for Eliza.”
“No wonder you suddenly showed up at the charity event organized by the Patterson family in the hotel a few days ago.” Mireya’s interest was piqued. “Could you be planning to beat them at their own game?”
“What do you think?” In fact, charity could not make up her mind.
However, Mireya rolled her eyes at Cate. “Cate is very experienced in this aspect. Back then, she used such a method to take revenge on Shaun with the hopes of making him fall deeply in love with her. After that, she tried to destroy Shaun and Sarah’s relationship. In the end, she hurt herself, whereas Shaun slipped away and married Sarah. Hah.”
Embarrassed, Cate could not bear to recall it. “My case was different as I had feelings for Shaun. When I wanted to take revenge on him, I could not endure it. But it’s different for Charity, considering that she’s not fond of Monte. If she uses this method to take revenge on Chester, I definitely won’t approve of it.”
At the mention of Chester, Cate’s and Mireya’s hearts did a flip as they got nervous.
“Well… Charity.” Mireya asked, “Do you still hate Chester? Did you join Jewell Corporation with the intention of taking revenge on him?”
“I do want to cause trouble for him and take revenge on him…” Charity let out a light sigh. “Even so, I have self-knowledge. Given Chester’s cruelty, he might drag me along when he goes to hell.”
“I think so too.” Cate agreed. “But can you actually get over it? Although Chester was taken advantage of by Sarah, he was the one who got a lawyer to send you to jail.”
Charity pursed her red lips in silence.
Get over it?
In truth, she was unsure too.
After all, every time she was faced with Chester, she resembled a porcupine with its quills standing up. Her calm heart would boil due to hatred.
Seeing that, Mireya said, “Haven’t you already ruined Chester’s reputation?
Everyone now knows his behavior now. No decent family will let their daughters marry him. what’s more, you dragged Jewell Corporation down with your own ability, so the company isn’t as powerful as before. According to Ryan, Jewell Corporation has to forgo at least 50 percent of the market. A lot of locals are boycotting the Jewell family’s hospital.”
“I’ve heard about it.” Cate said, ” Also, Chester can’t act unscrupulously like he did previously. His hope of targeting the entertainment industry has been shattered. In the future, his life won’t be as wonderful as before.”
“Stop mentioning him.” Charity did not want to mention him at all.
“Fine.” Cate nodded. “Actually, I have one more question. Why are you called Reborn?”
Charity smiled calmly. “That was my name when I was studying overseas in the States before I went to jail. Personally, I was quite interested in finance, so I took many tests to earn the relevant certificates. However, my dad insisted that I returned to take over his company. Later, I stopped using this identity after returning to the country until I met both of you. After I went to jail, the name ¡®Charity’ was associated with crime, but ¡®Reborn’ wasn’t.”
Mireya sighed deeply. “Charity, you’ve been very dishonest. You only let US know about your extraordinary identity today.”
“There was no point letting you know since you weren’t desperate for money anyway.” Charity said with a smile, “Well, money is something that can be earned easily, but power is difficult to gain. When I woke up in Eliza’s body and returned to the States, I withdrew the safe from the bank and used the identity of Reborn to make some money. Fortunately, I was wearing a mask back then, so nobody has ever seen Reborn.”
“I see.” Cate understood the situation and grinned mysteriously. “I believe Reborn isn’t your only sock puppet.”
Charity was dazed for a moment, feeling helpless. “That’s my last identity. Apart from that, I’m just a large shareholder behind Ferra Film Group.”
“No wonder Ferra Film Group has been so powerful lately.” Mireya suddenly felt discouraged. “I thought Freycatheli has been doing well, but compared to you both, it turns out I’m doing the worst.”
“Why do you think so?” Charity laughed and then teased, “Perhaps you’ll be the prime minister’s wife in the future.”
“Exactly.” Cate agreed. “You found someone with great potential, and you should treasure him.”
“Forget it. I’m not interested in being the prime minister’s wife. It’s too exhausting. I’d much prefer eating and having fun with my buddies.”
After that, Mireya slammed her hands on the table. “Shouldn’t we drink to celebrate the rebirth of our best friend?”
“We can drink, but don’t you get drunk and expose my identity,” charity reminded.
“I got it.” Mireya quickly zipped her mouth. “This matter will stay among the three of us…”
“Actually, someone else knows about it…”
“Who?” Mireya and Cate asked simultaneously.
