Reborn Three Times: His Murdered Wives Uncovered His Obsession Chapter 04 We Sisters Stand Together
Jasmine froze. She furrowed her brow slightly. She asked uneasily, “You’re not thinking of making me marry him, are you? “Look, we’re real sisters. Yeah, we fight, but I’ve never wanted to hurt you. “If you try to screw me over, I swear I’ll lose it.” I rolled my eyes at her. “What are you even thinking? In the previous life, I let you marry him because I thought Charles loved you. “Now that I know what happened to you, why would I do that to you again? “You really underestimate me, Jasmine.” Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief and continued. “So what, you want one of our maids to marry him instead?” I shook my head again. “Charles has too much pride. If he doesn’t like someone, there’s no way he’d consider a maid.” Jasmine deflated and said irritably, “Not this, not that. What are you trying to do? “Besides us and the maids, who else is there to marry?” I looked up at Mom and said softly, “Mom.” Mom backed away two steps in horror and waved her hands like crazy. “No way! “I’m old enough to be his mother.” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I replied, “No, that’s not it. I need you to do me a favor. “I think I know who the person in Charles’s heart really is.” Truth be told, I hadn’t caught on at first. Charles played his part perfectly. Anyone would’ve thought he was sincere with me. But he slipped up on that last thing he said. Almond cookies weren’t my favorite at all. Actually, I’d always hated the taste of almonds. But what he said reminded me of something. There was someone at Shaw House who really did love almond cookies. And before I came home, I’d specifically gone to check. That someone really did have a small mole on the right side of her neck. So I’d made up my mind. Instead of fighting Charles to the bitter end and taking the matter to the palace, I’d pretend to go along with it and then make sure the deed was done. I leaned over and whispered to Mom what to do. She ran off to get things ready without wasting a second. Jasmine rested her head on the table and laughed bitterly. “Heather, we’ve been fighting over this guy for years, and now we lose to someone like her. How can you be okay with that?” I smiled calmly. “A little bit. “But more than that, I want to get revenge for what happened to both of us in the first two lives.” Jasmine linked her arm through mine. It was the first time she’d ever been that close to me. “Okay, Heather. Let’s not fight anymore. “This time, we sisters stand together. Let’s sit back and watch them make fools of themselves.” Jasmine wasn’t just venting. Because the person marrying Charles? That was going to be one huge joke all by itself. Wasn’t Charles crazy about her? Wasn’t she the one he really wanted to marry? Fine. Let’s see how Charles would clean up this mess when I actually sent her over. The day before Charles was supposed to come to take me as his bride, Mom brought two men home with her. I recognized them. They were the Grand Chancellor’s twin sons. Mom was all excited. “Girls, I ran my legs off, but I finally found two men who want to marry you. “The Wallace twins. Good family, good character. And the most important thing? They’ve both been in love with you forever. “So? What do you think?” Jasmine and I were completely caught off guard. Mom lowered her voice. “Just say yes already. The Empress is Charles’s father’s cousin. If he finds out we’re trying to pawn that person off on him and make him look bad, he’ll raise hell. “And when that happens, aside from the Emperor, only Chancellor Wallace can help us.” Jasmine and I didn’t even have time to think about whether we liked the twins or not. We both said yes at the exact same time. We swapped marriage agreements right then and there. Once we had those papers in hand, a huge weight lifted off our chests. I took Jasmine’s hand and said, “Come on. Let’s go send her off. “Charles made each of us live in regret for a whole lifetime. This time, it’s his turn.” The next day, Jasmine and Mom sent the bride off to the wedding ceremony, her face hidden beneath a white veil. Charles gave Mom a fake smile as he said goodbye. Right before he left, he took one last look at Shaw House. His eyes were full of pain and longing, barely held in check. I smirked. Don’t be sad, Charles. In this life, you’ve already married the one you wanted but couldn’t marry.
