I Became a Suspect in the Murder of My Brother

I had a young and beautiful mother.

She took my wealthy boyfriend away from me, saying he wasn't good enough for me and that I deserved a better man.

Later, she squandered her husband's assets on lavish purchases of gold and jewelry, claiming it was what I wanted.

She traveled all over the country with a pretty boy, saying I begged her to take me out to see the world.

It wasn't until she took my barely-month-old brother out to cheat. She accidentally left him in the car and suffocated him to death. She said that I coveted the family estate and couldn't stand her son.

When her husband found out, he beat me half to death.

In the end, she sold me to a crippled man. I died in childbirth after multiple pregnancies.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my mother took my brother out to cheat.

My mother, Emma Davis, was a stunning beauty who easily snatched my boyfriend from me.

But she couldn't stand being lonely and still sought out pretty boys after marriage to satisfy her needs.

Every time she went out with her lover, she claimed I begged her to take me out to see the world. She said if I didn't go, I'd cry. I'd make a scene, and threaten to hang myself.

If Emma hadn't maxed out the supplementary card her husband, Levi Jones, gave her in the past life and he came knocking demanding I return everything, I wouldn't have known I had such a greedy image in front of my ex-boyfriend.

When the phone rang, I noted the time.

Today, my brother would be suffocated in the car. It was also the day Levi would find his card maxed out and be unable to find Emma, so he'd come to take it out on me.

I let out a cold laugh and picked up the phone.

"Charlotte, have you lost your mind? I'm your stepfather, but we don't seem to have any blood relation. Maxing out my card for millions, you're something.

"I remember warning you last time. I married your mom, not you. Can you have some shame? We're already broken up!

"Hurry up and return everything you bought with my money. Don't force me to call the police and search your house.

"And where is Emma?

"Where did you take Leo again? Can you stop dragging my son into your messy relationships?"

Emma took advantage of Levi being out of the house several times and brought those pretty boys back to enjoy herself.

Then, when the servants reported it to Levi, she would shift the blame onto me. She said it was my boyfriend, and I was the one who brought him home for fun.

"Charlotte!"

Seeing that I didn't respond, Levi roared on the other end.

If words were a sharp knife, I had no doubt that his voice could cut me into pieces right now.

"Are you even listening to me? I'm warning you, don't think taking my son means you don't have to pay me back. I won't let you spend a single dime of mine!"

Emma was following the same path as the last life, trying to pin Leo's death on me again. That's why Levi kept insisting I took him away.

By now, Leo must have already died.

"Charlotte, did you hear me?"

A trace of sarcasm flashed in my eyes. "What's the use of calling me to find your son? Call someone in Martinez Mansion now. Maybe you can still catch a last glimpse of him!"

I hung up the phone and leaned back in my chair.
