Chapter 1

After my rebirth, I saw Simon again, dressed in his signature suit.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, staring at me with visible frustration, and casually pushed a bank card across the table.

"There's five million in this card. Consider it compensation for all those years you spent lost out there. I've also bought you an apartment in the city center. You should move out today."

"You know Miranda doesn't like you. Every time she sees you, she ends up in the hospital."

Miranda was the fake heiress who'd been switched at birth at the hospital all those years ago.

Simon paused, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"If you need anything else, as long as it's not too much, I can satisfy your requests. But from now on, don't come back to this house."

In my previous life, I'd refused the money he offered, focused only on winning my family's love.

To please Simon, I'd worked factory shifts to buy him gifts, only to be killed by a drunk driver on my way to see him.

When he learned of my death, he felt no sadness—only relief:

"That clingy pest is finally dead. I can finally live in peace."

It turned out that the family affection I'd desperately longed for was nothing but a shackle around his neck.

This time, I calmly tucked the bank card into my pocket:

"Thank you. I have one more condition. Give me ten million, and we'll sever our relationship completely."
