Chapter 1

My fiancé, Liam Stone, died saving me, and I was utterly heartbroken.

Carrying my love and guilt for him, I vowed to remain unmarried for the rest of my life.

When I was seventy, I transferred all my assets to the children of Noah Stone, Liam's brother.

Right after the equity transfer was finalized, I unexpectedly saw Liam Stone, who was supposed to be long dead.

And standing beside Liam Stone were his wife and child!

Liam Stone looked at me and sneered, "Eleanor, do you really think I ever loved you?"

"My brother and I detest you the most. If your father hadn't forced me to marry you, Daisy and I could have been together openly years ago! There would have been no need for me to fake my death! Now, all your fortune is ours!"

I was so furious that I suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot and died right in front of them.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Liam Stone faked his death.

"Eleanor, my brother loved you more than anyone! He died saving you, you can't possibly let him down!"

The moment Noah Stone's voice echoed in my ears, I knew I had been reborn.

I looked at Noah standing before me, a hint of anxiety on his face as he said, "Eleanor, I want to give my brother a grand funeral, and it's going to cost a lot of money..."

His gaze fixed on me, and I knew exactly what he meant: Noah expected me to pay for it.

In my previous life, Liam's death had left me devastated, even causing me to faint several times.

I couldn't even attend Liam's funeral; Noah had handled everything for me.

But now, I knew Liam hadn't died at all.

And Noah's so-called funeral was just a ploy to take a huge sum of money from me.

All so Liam and Daisy could elope.

Now, how could I possibly give Noah a single dime?

"No need, Noah. Since Liam supposedly died for me, I'll take full charge of his funeral myself. I'll make sure it's done grandly and honorably!"

I looked at Noah Stone, my voice firm.

Noah froze, stunned by my words.

Both he and Liam were adopted by my father. While they received a certain allowance, it was never a significant amount.

My father had long hoped both brothers would join the company, eventually take over the business, and one of them would marry me.

But both brothers spent all their time revolving around Daisy, having no interest in managing the company.

Over time, my father stopped bothering with them and only provided them with the most basic living expenses.

Now, even if Liam wanted to elope with Daisy, they didn't have the money.

"Eleanor, I'm my brother's closest kin. I know his preferences better than anyone. Don't worry, I'll make sure his funeral is perfect!"

Noah quickly added, looking at me, "Your health right now, I'm afraid you can't handle it. Just leave it to me!"

"Absolutely not! I'll handle this myself!"

I turned, my gaze cold as I fixed it on Noah. "Since he died for me, how could I face him if I didn't give him a grand burial?"
