Chapter 4

The next day, Hannah arrived with gifts to finalize the wedding arrangements.

She gently held Jason's hand and said to my father and stepmother, "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry. I'll treat Jason well from now on."

Her idea of "good treatment" involved tying up her husband and whipping him with a barbed whip.

She'd also inject various chemicals into her husband's body, making him suffer unbearably.

I wondered if Jason could handle this so-called "good treatment."

Right now Jason knew nothing, still grinning broadly.

When I went to the bathroom, he couldn't resist finding me to gloat.

"See that? Hannah loves me. My happy life is just around the corner."

Then he actually pulled out a syringe, laughing coldly. "In a few seconds, your handsome face will be gone. You won't be able to attract Veronica anymore. She'll find you disgusting!"

He lunged at me with the injection.

I dodged to the side and was about to grab his hand when someone beat me to it.

It was Veronica. She snatched the syringe and jabbed it hard into Jason's arm.

Immediately, he let out an agonizing scream.

"Ah!"

Jason collapsed to the floor, clutching his arm and writhing.

Hannah and my father rushed over.

"Jason, what happened?"

Jason cried and screamed, "It was Marcus! Marcus did this to me! Hannah, quick, punish him for me!"

I'd never touched him.

Hannah didn't listen to him. She quickly apologized to Veronica first. "Veronica, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline my husband properly."

Veronica took my hand, her voice cold. "If anyone dares touch my husband again, I won't let them off."

The room fell deathly silent. No one dared speak.

Jason clutched his arm corroded by the chemicals, trembling with fear.

I glanced at my father. He looked at Jason with seeming concern.

But only I knew he wasn't truly concerned about Jason.

In my past life, he knew exactly what kind of person Hannah was, which is why he made me marry her.

In this life, when Jason chose Hannah, my father not only didn't stop it for his own interests, he didn't even tell Jason what Hannah was really like.

Not one of these people was decent. I wouldn't spare any of them.

After Jason's arm injury, his wedding with Hannah was postponed, but the two went to the marriage registry office early.

Veronica's status in Harbor City was unmatched.

Though Jason was hurt by her, he didn't dare say anything. He had no choice but to choke down his rage.

Meanwhile, Hannah stayed at the hospital taking care of him every day, playing the role of the good woman.

Only I knew Hannah was just keeping up appearances.

She actually hated Jason and was definitely tormenting him at the hospital every day.

I knew Hannah all too well-she was viciously competitive.

Jason made her lose face in front of Veronica, so she'd definitely punish him thoroughly.

On my end, my plan was also progressing.

The project I'd asked Veronica for, she gave to me as promised.

I deliberately had people spread false information.

Making outsiders believe that because Hannah was too busy caring for her husband, Veronica gave me the project instead.

When word got back to Hannah, she'd probably vent all her anger on Jason.

To confirm this, I secretly went to the hospital to check on Jason.

I saw Hannah choking his neck, viciously slapping his face.

"I worked on that project for months, and because of you, all my plans are ruined!"

"You should just die!"

She even used needles to pierce his arms and legs.

Hannah was a complete psychopath.

I quietly recorded this scene with my phone.

Jason, you thought swapping lives with me would make you happy.

So now, do you regret it?
