Framed to Death by My Wife, Reborn with Her: She Chose Her Childhood Sweetheart, and I’ll Make Them Beg for Mercy

In my previous life, my wife died in a mudslide during her company retreat.

I rushed to the disaster site and searched for half a month, but I never found my wife’s body, so I could only build a memorial grave for her.

Before I even had time to grieve, the bank began calling to demand repayment, and I learned that my wife had taken out a massive loan to help her company grow.

I was the sole heir to her estate. I began working desperately to repay the bank loans while also taking care of my wife’s parents and her younger brother.

Twenty years later, I had gradually expanded the company, which had once been on the verge of bankruptcy, into a thriving business, arranged for her parents to live out their final years comfortably, and raised her younger brother into a responsible adult.

After years of exhaustion and overwork had ruined my health, I collapsed.

At the very last moment of my life, while I was on the verge of death, my wife appeared with another man and a little boy.

Their family was living happily together, and they thanked me for everything I had done, saying that the assets I left behind would be enough for the three of them to enjoy the rest of their lives.

I was so furious that I died on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I received the call about the mudslide. “Michael, Olivia was swept away by the mudslide.

We’re all doing everything we can to search for her, so hurry over!” Olivia’s secretary, Chloe Adams, said anxiously over the phone. “Okay, okay.

I’ll buy a ticket and get there right away...” Memories surged into my mind like a tide.

In my previous life, I had immediately gone to the train station and bought a ticket, and it took me two full days to reach the remote mountains where my wife and her coworkers had been traveling.

Once I arrived, I searched like a madman for half a month, but I found nothing.

Of course, trying to find a woman who had faked her death and deliberately plotted against me was practically impossible.

How could I repeat the same mistake in this life and let that shameless pair treat me like a fool again? I walked into the bedroom, where there was a safe.

Olivia Bennett had never told me the password, but that was not enough to stop me, and the safe opened successfully when I entered the password for the second time.

The company seal, the property deeds, and the household documents were all inside. I also found the bank’s loan agreement in the safe. The loan had been issued today.

No wonder the bank employees had assumed that I had transferred the money away after her accident in my previous life.

From an ordinary person’s perspective, Olivia had been swept away by a mudslide and was dead, so how could a dead person transfer money?

That meant the only person who could have made the transfer was her husband—me, the complete fool who had taken the blame for everything.

Of course, even if I wanted to transfer the money, having the company seal was not enough; I also needed her signature.

In theory, no one but her could touch that massive sum. “How are you still at home? Why haven’t you gone to buy a ticket?

Do you even care about my daughter, or have you been hoping from the beginning that she’d die?” Just then, my fatherinlaw, motherinlaw, and brotherinlaw arrived.

In this life, I was much calmer than I had been in my previous one.

Looking closely, I noticed that my motherinlaw was wearing makeup and a brandnew outfit, while my fatherinlaw had brought a suitcase.

They did not look like people rushing to the place where their daughter had been injured. They looked more like they were heading off on a business trip or a vacation.

There was something else, too. After the accident, their family’s standard of living had not declined at all. Instead, it had improved.

They had known about Olivia and Ethan Cole all along.

After Olivia faked her death, she must have secretly sent them money on a regular basis, which was why their family had been living so comfortably.

I was the only idiot kept in the dark, working myself to death to repay the loans.

To put it bluntly, that entire family had been sucking me dry. “Michael, I’ve already bought the train tickets.

We leave in an hour, so let’s hurry to the station!” Noah Bennett was being unusually thoughtful.

Normally, he made me order a rideshare even when he went to the supermarket, but now he had taken the initiative to buy the tickets.

He was obviously afraid that his sister would return and run into me. He wanted to cover for her. “Okay, let’s leave now.” I nodded quickly.

I had already taken everything out of the safe and put it in my personal bag. I had also changed the safe’s password. Of course, that alone was far from enough.

Olivia was very clever. If she noticed something was wrong and then staged a miraculous return from the mudslide, she would suffer no losses at all.

On the contrary, she could transfer the money whenever she wanted and then leave with Ethan to enjoy themselves. So if she was going to die, I had to make sure she died completely.

After getting into the car, I immediately called my best friend, Ryan Miller, and told him to move people into my house to watch over it for me.

I specifically told him that the contents of the safe were extremely important and that no one could leave the safe unattended for even a moment. “Even when you sleep, you have to hold on to that safe!” I gave him the order solemnly.

To put it simply, I did not want to give Olivia any chance to get near the safe.

Even if I had changed the password and removed everything inside, I still could not let her touch it. The moment she touched the safe, she would become suspicious.

As long as she did not touch it, however, she would continue to hope. She would keep pretending to be dead. She wanted to wait for an opportunity, while I wanted to buy time.

“Damn it! Why is there someone in the house?” Not long after I left, Olivia arrived outside the villa wearing a mask and dressed so thoroughly that no one could recognize her.

When she saw people inside the villa, her face turned livid. According to Olivia’s plan, I should have already left home by then.

She would then be able to open the safe and begin carrying out her plan. First, she would mortgage the house and the cars, and then use the company as collateral.

She would transfer all the company’s liquid funds, and once the bank released the loan that afternoon, she would transfer that money away immediately as well.

She could handle everything in a single day and then run away with Ethan. With twenty or thirty million dollars, they could stop working forever and enjoy their lives.

As for the mess at the company and home, it would all fall on me. What did any of that have to do with her?

But now that there were people in the house, how could she get the company seal and the other documents? “Ethan, go to my house right away and find out what’s going on.” Olivia took out her phone and called Ethan.

The phone and number were both new. She had even changed her identity in advance. She had prepared a textbook escape plan.

To disappear completely, she had gone to extraordinary lengths. “That bastard was worried that the valuables in the house would be stolen, so he hired people to watch the place,” Ethan said after looking into the situation. “Damn it!

How did this happen?” Olivia was so frustrated that she nearly vomited blood. “If this doesn’t work, we can use another method.

We’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.” To Ethan, as long as he had money to spend and a woman to sleep with, nothing else mattered. “No. This is the best plan.

It means I won’t have to take care of those two old fools anymore. He’ll take care of them from now on, including my brother. He’ll definitely look after him, too.

He’ll be the only one earning money while our entire family spends it.” Olivia had long since figured out exactly what kind of person I was.

Once she died, I would devote myself completely to taking care of her family. “But there are people inside the villa.

We can’t even get in!” Ethan said helplessly. “Only I know the safe’s password. I refuse to believe they’ll guard the house every single day.

If one day doesn’t work, we’ll wait ten days. If ten days doesn’t work, we’ll wait a month. Sooner or later, I’ll get close to the safe.

When that happens, we’ll secretly take everything out, get a huge amount of money, and live happily ever after!” Olivia was stubborn by nature.

She dared to make such a gamble because without the things in the safe, no one could move a single dollar from the company.

Olivia even hoped that her death would soon become an established fact. Once that happened, who would believe that a dead person could transfer money?

Even in the worstcase scenario, if I forced open the safe and tried to touch her money, she could simply stage a miraculous resurrection. She had thought through every step.

“Michael, we found these things downstream from the mudslide.” When Olivia’s family and I reached the mountains, her secretary, Chloe, handed me a small bag covered in mud.

There was a phone, an ID card, and a diary inside. I already knew what the diary contained. It had all been written to manipulate me and make me emotional.

When I read the diary in my previous life, I had cried my eyes out. For example, it said, “I love my husband more than anything.

If anything happens to him, I’ll treat his parents like my own.” It also said, “If my husband dies, I’ll never marry anyone else for the rest of my life.

I’ll remain faithful to him forever...” Every sentence had struck the deepest part of my soul.

That was why, in my previous life, I had acted like an idiot, working desperately to repay the debts, supporting her parents and brother, and never marrying again. “I have to find my wife.” I felt like I could win an acting award because in this life, I cried even more bitterly than I had in my previous one and began searching for her like a madman. “Hey, that idiot is looking everywhere for you and has cried himself unconscious several times.

Hahaha!” Noah took the opportunity to send Olivia a message. After reading what her brother had sent her, Olivia became even more confident.

Of course, just like in my previous life, I searched for her for a week. During that entire week, Ryan stayed at my house and kept a close watch on the safe.

A week later, after confirming that Olivia was dead, I built a memorial grave for her. Unlike in my previous life, I did not go straight home after building the memorial grave.

I did not rush back this time.

While Noah and the others were taking their afternoon break, I deliberately went to the relevant government office and applied for a death certificate.

The fact that I had been searching for my wife in the mudslide had already spread widely, and the authorities had also helped search for her for some time.

It was essentially certain that Olivia had died in the mudslide.

As a result, the authorities processed my request without hesitation. “Please pull up every phone number registered to this ID.” I took my wife’s death certificate and ID to a mobile service store.

I was certain that if I transferred the money now, Olivia’s phone would immediately receive a notification. Everything was exactly as I had guessed.

In addition to her old phone number, Olivia had applied for a new one a week before the accident. After obtaining the new number, I immediately went to the bank.

I understood that I had only one chance. I had thought through every step carefully and could not afford a single mistake.
