After Reincarnating with My Husband, I Chose to Remarry

On my eighteenth birthday, my grandfather laid out profiles of several eligible men in front of me and asked me to choose one for an engagement. Without hesitation, I chose Julian Howard from the Howard Family Group. Everyone present was stunned. After all, it was common knowledge in our circle that Shirley Lennox, the heiress of Lennox Corporation, had been deeply in love with the eldest son, Miles Howard. At my coming-of-age banquet, I had even publicly declared that I would marry no one but Miles Howard. In my previous life, I got my wish and married Miles Howard. But just three days into our marriage, he couldn’t wait to tell me that he planned to take my stepsister, Mia Sullivan, under his wing as well. My mother was furious and immediately arranged for Mia Sullivan to marry one of my father’s protégés. Miles Howard was convinced that I had sabotaged his plans and came to despise me. From then on, he was constantly embroiled in scandals, and every one of his companions bore a striking resemblance to Mia Sullivan. He allowed those women to humiliate me in every possible way. Ultimately, on the day he inherited the family business, I was poisoned to death. Reincarnating with a second chance at life, I decided to stay far away from him and let him be with Mia Sullivan. But to my Sullivanrprise, as soon as the news of my engagement to Julian Howard was announced, he lost control and publicly opposed the marriage. … After leaving the chairman’s office, I didn’t expect to run into Miles Howard. He had just concluded an important company meeting, Sullivanrrounded by executives and industry elites. Upon seeing me, the group burst into laughter, teasing, “Shirley Lennox, are you chasing General Manager Howard all the way to the company headquarters? If your father knew how persistent his daughter is, he’d probably have a hypertensive crisis and take a sick leave!” Miles Howard looked at me with disgust, his tone icy: “You came to the company—did you think my father would directly order us to get engaged? Let me warn you, without my consent, don’t act crazy again.” I was all too familiar with that look of disdain in his eyes. Sullivanppressing the sting in my heart, I spoke calmly: “The chairman asked me here to arrange an important coming-of-age ceremony for me. It has nothing to do with you.” No sooner had I finished speaking than the room erupted: “Coming-of-age ceremony?” I knew why they were shocked. The company founder, Miles Howard’s grandfather, had left a will stating that the fiancé chosen by the youngest daughter of the Lennox family at her coming-of-age ceremony would become the next heir of the company. My words had effectively announced that the Sullivanccessor was already decided. After the shock wore off, everyone rushed to congratulate Miles Howard. “It seems it won’t be long before we have to call you Chairman Howard,” they said. A look of satisfaction crossed Miles Howard’s face, but when he looked at me, his tone was filled with mockery. “Shirley Lennox, you’ve chased after me for so many years, and now that you’ve finally gotten your wish, you must be over the moon.” As he spoke, he stepped closer, lowering his voice in my ear: “I won’t repeat the same mistakes, so there’s something you must agree to before I even consider marrying you.” “The day we get married, I’ll have Linda be my assistant and enter the company with you,” he paused, his tone growing even deeper. My heart sank in disbelief. It was clear—he too had been reborn. Before I could respond, a delicate voice came from behind: “Sister.” It was my stepsister, Mia Sullivan. She looked frail as she walked over. Her face was pale, and Miles Howard immediately stepped forward with concern, gently Sullivanpporting her: “Linda, why did you come to the company?” Mia Sullivan covered her mouth and leaned into his chest, her voice trembLennoxg with tears: “Today is sister’s coming-of-age ceremony. I couldn’t not come. But my health isn’t great—I’ve caught a bit of a cold. I hope sister won’t blame me.” Miles Howard glared at me sternly: “How could you be so heartless? Just for a coming-of-age ceremony, you had to bring someone who’s ill?” With that, he swept Mia Sullivan into his arms: “Linda, let’s go to my office. I’ll have a doctor check on you.” Before leaving, he didn’t forget to warn me coldly: “Shirley Lennox, reflect on your behavior. If you keep acting so arrogantly, our wedding will be put on hold.” And with that, he carried Mia Sullivan away without looking back.
