After Elias's business failed, he took me with him to jump off a building.
We both died, but when we opened our eyes again, we had returned to before we got married.
In his previous life, he confessed before dying that he could never let go of his beloved campus queen Athena, feeling I was always inferior to her.
The day the debt collectors came, to get revenge on me, he offered me to them to settle the debt, watching me be humiliated right in front of him.
In our three years of marriage, we had just had our first child.
As blood spread beneath me in that moment, I felt regret.
After being reborn, I let him go pursue his happiness.
I cut off all contact and stayed far away to let him take his shot.
In eight years, he successfully amassed a fortune worth hundreds of millions and gloriously married his campus queen girlfriend who had struggled alongside him to build the business.
He ostentatiously saved the front row at the wedding for me to show off.
"Thank you for leaving me in this life. Even if you gave your life for me, you still wouldn't be good enough for me."
"Why don't you go marry some ordinary guy?"
I graciously congratulated him, then took the arm of my tycoon fiancé beside me and publicly announced our wedding date.
Elias's eyes turned red, and the ring in his hand fell to the ground.
"Vesper, didn't you once say you would only marry me and stay by my side for life?!"

Jumping Off and Reborn, Ex-husband Goes Crazy

Elias hadn't even opened his mouth when Athena reached out and took his hand, sneering at my pretentiousness.


"Vesper, aren't you being a bit too full of yourself? Who cares about you?"


"This is what we call charity! Don't you get it?"


She took off a bracelet from her wrist and placed it in my hand.


"This has real gemstones on it. Even if you sell it second-hand, it's worth at least 300 grand. Take it and go!"


The malice in her eyes was undisguised, but her face wore a look of pity.


"Just take it, stop pretending. We invited you here today to help you out!"


"Elias told me before, without him, you must be struggling."


In the crowd, some couldn't hold back their snickers, while others praised Athena for her kindness, willing to give tens of thousands to her husband's ex-girlfriend.


"Vesper doesn't know what's good for her. This is helping her."


"Athena is so kind-hearted. What does Vesper think she is? They were nice enough to invite her to the wedding, arrange a private car to pick her up, and she shows up dressed like that. She's just here to cause trouble."


"Women like her, besides a pretty face, what use are they?"


"Vesper, how come we never noticed in school that you were so stubborn..."


Private car pickup? You mean forcibly bringing me to the hotel as soon as I got off the plane?I couldn't help but smile wryly as I avoided the bracelet and pushed it back.


"Thank you, but I don't need something like that."


"I've seen you both and attended the wedding. I'll just give you a gift and be on my way."


After all, we had no relationship anymore. I just wanted to get home as soon as possible. In a few more hours...


A hand reached out in front of me as the couple approached, arm in arm.


"You want to give us a gift? Well, where is it?"


Elias carefully fastened the bracelet on Athena's wrist, his gaze falling on me before sliding away.


I had come in empty-handed, and he thought I was bluffing. He was waiting to see me embarrassed and didn't hesitate to chime in.


A waft of perfume filled my nostrils as Athena exaggerated her expression, deliberately raising her voice.


"Even though we don't want for anything now, I'm sure what you're giving us will be unlike anyone else's. I'm so excited!"


Countless eyes fell on me as I reached into the shoulder bag and took out a small wooden box, handing it to her.


The next second, the box was opened in front of everyone. Its contents, as if not held securely, fell directly to the ground.


The object rolled out, coming to a stop right by the man's feet.


Laughter erupted again, and the sound of a camera clicking came from behind me. Athena's expression was exaggerated as she let out a laugh."Is this your idea of a wedding gift?!"
