Chapter 1

My younger sister landed a rich heir through an online relationship.

Coincidentally, he was my best friend's ex-boyfriend.

My best friend told me he was not rich at all. He was just a deadbeat con artist.

Later, he asked my sister to meet up in person.

I kindly warned her, but she shoved me down the stairs without hesitation.

"You're just jealous that I found a hot, rich boyfriend while you're a complete loser. Don't you dare get in the way of my happiness!"

Joe and Margaret worried that my fall down the stairs would tarnish Chloe's reputation.

So they stood by and watched me bleed to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Chloe announced she was dating him.

"Listen up, everyone! I have an announcement to make. I'm dating someone, and he's super rich and gorgeous. None of you will ever have to worry about money again!"

My sister Chloe's arrogant voice rang in my ears, and it hit me—I had been reborn!

"Really?" Margaret gasped, beaming. "My baby girl is so capable! What does his family do?"

"He says he's a tea empire heir. His family owns multiple plantations, his tea business spans the entire country, and he's already planning to expand overseas."

The moment Joe and Margaret heard "expand overseas," they instantly believed he was a billionaire heir. They showered her with praise, grinning so wide their mouths could barely close.

"You have to play your cards right, put some real effort in, and lock him down! Better yet, marry him as soon as possible. That way, everything his family owns will be ours."

Hearing Joe and Margaret's greedy, calculating scheme made my stomach churn.

In my past life, Chloe had said the exact same words.

Back then, something sounded off to me.

The story sounded so familiar, but I couldn't place it at the time.

Hoping to keep Chloe from getting scammed online, I voiced my concerns.

"Chloe, how long have you two been talking? I'm just saying online dating carries risks. Don't just take his word for everything. You need to keep your eyes open."

To my surprise, Chloe completely twisted my words.

"Hannah, what's your problem? You think you're the smartest person on earth and everyone else is an idiot, don't you? Do you really think I wouldn't know whether he treats me well or if he's a scammer?"

With that, she pulled out their chat history.

At a glance, it was full of transfer receipts—amounts like $500, $1,000, and $5,000.

Attached to them was a sweet little note:

"Every cent I make is for my baby to spend. [heart]"

Joe and Margaret had thought I had a point at first, but seeing all that cold, hard cash, they turned on me instead.

"Hannah, you're the older sister! What kind of attitude is that? Have you ever seen a scammer send money every single day?"

Chloe chimed in with snide remarks:

"I bet she's just jealous. She's getting old and can't find a boyfriend, so she's green with envy."

Joe, Margaret, and Chloe took turns lecturing me until I began to doubt myself.

Maybe I really was overthinking it.

Later on, while having lunch with my best friend, she brought up her ex-boyfriend.

Only then did I realize in shock that the "rich heir" Chloe was dating was my best friend's ex!

From my friend, I learned that the guy was completely broke, far from any wealthy heir.

Once I knew the truth about him, I rushed straight home.

"Chloe, that man is conning you. He's not a rich heir at all. Don't be stupid and go meet him in person!"

Chloe swatted my hand away and said viciously:

"What? Seeing that I'm going to meet him in person makes you insecure? You make me sick. You just can't stand seeing your own sister happy..."

During our argument, she shoved me down the stairs. My head cracked hard against the floor, and blood gushed out.

Chloe's eyes gleamed with twisted excitement. "Hannah, you had it coming! You deserve to die!"
