Penelope Carlisle

When I had been married to my childhood sweetheart for thirty years, I died saving her.
My soul did not disappear and I watched helplessly as she embraced her first love.
She cried and confessed that she married me out of gratitude, and now the whole family could finally reunite openly.
The daughter I had cherished and protected also affectionately called that man 'Dad'.
They inherited my estate and company, angering my parents to death, and lived happily and carefree!
I realized that my whole life I had no son or daughter because I was working for someone else's benefit!
Before my soul dissipated, I was filled with hatred and vowed that in my next life, I would make their entire family suffer a fate worse than death!

The Wife and Her Lover Conspired to Take My Fortune!

The Xia Family was indeed tempted; Xia Wan called to probe me.


[Ah Chen, my parents say this project is good, what do you think?]


Xia Wan still thought I was the Zhao Chen of the past and didn't notice my unusual behavior these days.


While checking the company's accounts, I agreed with Xia Wan's insight.


[It is indeed a very good project. I know the government of H City values it highly.]


Xia Wan was thrilled and didn't hide anything from me, directly saying she was going to call her parents from the Xia Family.


Of course, I agreed. Over the years, the Xia Family had relied on the Zhao Family's reputation to do many things.


[Mom and Dad, Zhao Chen told me that the local government also considers this project important.]


[We need to invest quickly, or we won't get a share of the profit.]


I ignored Xia Wan and directly asked Secretary Wang to organize and send over the company's accounts.


"President Zhao, here are the company accounts for this period."


I responded with a grunt, opening the statement sent by Secretary Wang.


Seeing she sent the electronic statement and came in person, I immediately knew many things must have happened recently.


Secretary Wang hurriedly explained the recent events.


[It's the manager of the design department causing a lot of anger among people.]


[Relying on his... arrogance, he disregards everyone.]


[Several new designers have done well in their designs, but Yang Hai deliberately made things difficult for them.]


[The most serious issue is that the company internally held a design competition recently, and the gold award was given to Yang Hai.]


[But I've found out recently that Yang Hai plagiarized!]


My face darkened. If Yang Hai was just slacking off at the company, that would be fine; I could deal with him slowly!


But now he's spreading chaos in the Zhao Family's company, planning to inherit my legacy even while I'm still alive!


[I'd like to see how arrogant he really is!]
