[Status: COMPLETED] 

In her previous life, Adrienne Jiang had used all means to save her mother’s life. Her father had neglected her after marrying his mistress, allowing the mother-and-daughter pair to bully her to no end. The older brother whom she thought she could rely on gave her a cold shoulder and chastised her instead for not cutting their mother’s life support.

In her despair, Adrienne almost fell into the trap set by her stepsister. In the end, she entered a contractual marriage with her best friend’s brother, Alistair Han, a man she’d been carrying a torch for from a young age.

Only then did she realize that the man was manipulative and obsessive, not wanting her out of sight. She had been treated like a bird trapped in a golden cage.

In the end, she met her demise at the betrayal of her brother and everything was lost in the fire. After being reborn, she was determined not to continue being a good-for-nothing person.

Lennox Qin, the vicious young master of the Qin family, was set to become the next head of their family. However, because of an incident, he was crippled and deemed unworthy. When he and Adrienne’s paths crossed, they came to an agreement.

“I’ll marry you to remove your bad luck and be your wife for two years. In return, allow me to use you to destroy the Han and Jiang families.”

The man seated in a wheelchair merely raised a brow at her declaration. His lips then curled into a dashing smile and he agreed without batting an eyelid. However, when the time was almost up, he rushed to convince her to stay in their marriage.

“Madam Qin deserves the best. If it’s the world you desire, I’ll bring it to you on a silver platter. You can have the entire world, but darling, do not forget that while everything belongs to you, you belong to me.”

Adrienne furrowed her brows.

“But you don’t even like me...” She reasoned out, thinking that her husband might have lost his mind.

“No, I didn’t, but I do love you now. In fact, you are the only one I think of these days.”

However, it seemed to her that not only her husband was trying to get her attention but her in-laws as well.

Reborn Young Miss: Phoenix Burning Red

"So that's what it is…" Adrienne didn't seem offended by Raelyn's outburst but expected something like this to happen. Ayla used to defend her in front of everyone, pretending to be magnanimous while slandering Adrienne at the same time.

She turned her attention to Ayla this time.

"Ayla, is this what you told everyone? Are you going to say this is all but a misunderstanding like last time?"

Ayla was startled at Adrienne's question and remembered the slight chill she felt when she met Adrienne last time.

"Addie… this…" She could feel cold sweat forming on her nape as she met Adrienne's obsidian eyes. It felt so strange, as if Adrienne was mocking and scrutinizing her at the same time.

Ayla thought that whatever she said now, Adrienne could see past her pretense. When did this simpleton become so cunning?

"The gift you are all talking about is this." Adrienne suddenly said, taking something from her pocket and showing it to everyone.
