Chapter 1
The first thing Stella Judd did after she was reborn was kneel in front of her parents to beg sincerely, “Mom, Dad, if I have to
marry into the Chilton family, I want to marry Eric!”
Her parents were surprised.
“Don’t you like Noel, Stella? Don’t you remember that Eric is Noel’s uncle?”
Something flashed across Stella’s eyes as she was reminded of a memory. She spoke sadly, “I know what will happen if I continue
liking Noel. I can’t ever be with him.
“Mom, Dad, I’ve never asked you for anything. As a heiress who has enjoyed a luxurious life in this family for as long as I can
remember, I know it’s my responsibility to uphold this marriage alliance. This is my only request, so I hope you can agree to it.”
Stella’s head turned red from hitting on the floor as she bowed. Her parents sighed softly and pulled her up. “If you’ve made your
decision, we’ll visit the Chiltons to talk about this. Eric Chilton is powerful and highly ranked. He might not agree to marry you.
You have to be prepared for rejection.”
Her parents consoled Stella while preparing lavish gifts for the visit to the Chiltons.
As their black sedan drove off, Stella turned back to look at their living room. It was filled with the same furniture it had
contained all her life. This rebirth still did not feel real to her.
Her phone on the table suddenly buzzed.
“Hey, come over.”
Noel had sent her a message asking to meet up. A bar’s address was attached to it.
Stella thought it was a good opportunity to inform Noel about her request to marry another man. She left immediately to clear
things up with him.
As she pushed open the door to the private room, a bucket of cold water came pouring down. Stella was drenched from head to
toe.
The cold penetrated her skin, and she could not help trembling. Laughter came from all around her.
“Hey, isn’t that our dear heiress from the Judds? What happened to her? She’s all wet.”
“Serves her right for running after Noel everywhere he goes. She deserves it for being a bootlicker that doesn’t know what’s good

for her.”
Noel approached Stella with a cold look. His eyes were unhappy.

“You can’t wait to marry me, can you? The moment the news of a marriage alliance got leaked, you got your parents to
immediately visit my family to discuss it. The entire city found out about it, and everyone in our social circle knows the news. Are you happy now?”
Stella knew he had misunderstood the situation.
She wiped away the water on her face and brushed the wet hair sticking to her forehead aside. Stella looked calmly at Noel.
“The marriage alliance between our families is a done deal. It doesn’t matter where our families discuss it. You don’t need to
worry about it. It has nothing to do with you.”
Noel was taken aback but quickly sneered. “It has nothing to do with me? Are you trying to tell me that I’m not the one you’re
marrying? What a joke. Which other Chilton could you marry?”
Stella was about to answer him when the door, which had not been shut properly, was pushed open again.
Sophie Taylor walked through the door. She heard everything and began to tear up.
“Mr. Noel, I–I heard you’re getting married. I came here to congratulate you. I wish you and Miss Judd happiness and bliss in your
marriage.”
Sophie ran out of the room with red eyes. All that remained was the sound of her sobbing.
“Wait, Sophie!”
Noel got anxious. He pushed everyone out of his way to run after her.
Stella fell onto the table from the push and wounded her forehead, which started to bleed. It was a scary sight.
She felt intense pain from the wound. Old memories washed over her as she watched them leave.
In her past life, Stella and Noel grew up together and were close.
When they reached adulthood, her parents told her about the marriage alliance between both families. That was when she
remembered how Noel had always taken good care of her. Of course, she picked him as her husband without hesitation.
However, his attitude toward her gradually changed when he found out about the marriage alliance. He was initially angry, but then he turned cold. Eventually, disgust was all there was left.
Stella did not understand his change in attitude but still decided to marry him. She thought things would slowly change for the better after they got married.
They later had a child together, but Stella found millions of Sophie’s pictures in the study that Noel kept with great care.
That was when Stella found out that Noel was in love with his nanny’s daughter, but he could not be with her because of their

difference in status.
Sophie married someone else two years later but did not enjoy a happy marriage.
Noel got drunk every day because of this. He felt sad for Sophie’s predicament.
It was the happiest day of Noel’s life when Sophie’s husband died in a car accident.
Stella watched all of this unfold with a chill in her heart.
All she could do was ignore the situation and focus on bringing up her daughter.
Things changed when Stella’s daughter and Sophie’s son were involved in a kidnapping.

The kidnappers forced Noel to choose only one child. He hesitated for a few seconds before choosing the boy who was not related
to him at all.
Their daughter was pushed off the building the next second. She died from the fall.
Stella broke down after witnessing her daughter’s death and jumped off the building as well.
Now that she was reborn, Stella no longer wanted to torture herself. All she wanted was to have nothing to do with Noel.
Everyone in the private room was still laughing and throwing sarcastic comments at her.
“You shouldn’t force things to happen. Why get married when Noel doesn’t want to marry you?”
“A certain bootlicker is about to face a lifetime of being home alone. After all, Noel doesn’t care about her at all.”
Stella’s phone rang while everyone was busy laughing at her.
She checked her phone and saw the message her parents had sent her.
[Stella! Eric agreed to it! The wedding will be held in half a month!]
Her parents were always calm, but they had used three exclamation marks in that message. They were really surprised and
excited about Eric agreeing to the marriage.
Stella was relieved.
She forced herself to stand up and look at the people laughing at her right in the eye. There was a determined look in her eye.
“You don’t need to worry if I’ll have a happy marriage. It doesn’t have anything to do with Noel, either.
“Please let him know that I’m getting married in half a month and he isn’t the
groom!”
