People's words were deceptive illusions. I continued to gaze intensely at Robert.
"Robert, there's a truth you're unaware of. I actually passed away once, many years ago."
Robert's eyes suddenly grew wide. He then looked at me with incredulity.
"And it was you and Rebecca who personally ended my life back then."
Robert didn't deny it and even approached me occasionally. He pleaded with me to reconsider. But shortly after, news broke that Payne's Group had been renamed to Rosendale's Group. I had strategically used the Rosendale Group's influence to gradually lure away their partners and clients. I also retrieved the will my parents had left behind and reclaimed everything that rightfully belonged to me, step by step.
Upon discovering this, Robert's parents were enraged and berated me for being an ungrateful ingrate they had raised. Only Robert intervened.
