The driver was dead, and dead men tell no tales.

Jennie totally didn't believe that the accident happened by chance. Her intuition told her that Lee Jung Jae was behind this incident. Nancy suddenly slit her wrist, and since they still couldn't find the scapegoat Irene, Lee Jung Jae couldn't stand it anymore and started to secretly target her.

She managed to escape this time, but how about the next?

Nobody knew what Jennie was thinking about.

Lisa opened up the drawer in the cupboard beside the bed and found Jennie's phone. Passing the phone to her, Lisa said, "Since you've regained consciousness, call your family and tell them you're safe."

The word 'safe' amused Jennie.

Jennie raised her head and stared straight at Lisa.

Lisa watched as Jennie's bedazzling and smiling pretty eyes gradually reddened. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with a strong reluctance to give up.

It had been a long time since Lisa saw such a gaze in someone's eyes.

It was frightening and impactful at the same time.

"Brother Lili, if you don't have a girlfriend, wife, or anyone who has a crush on you..." Jennie licked her dry lips and tried hard to brush aside her ridiculous pride. Albeit informal on purpose, she said to Lisa, "Can I marry you?"

Upon hearing this, Lisa maintained his calm look. "Miss Jennie, don't ruin your whole life due to a moment's haste." He stuffed the phone into Jennie's hand and said in a domineering and authoritarian manner, "Call your parents. I'll get going first."

Lisa was about to walk away when Jennie suddenly stood up. Since she had gotten up too violently and rapidly, she got dizzy and her body collapsed to the ground, loosening her neck brace in the process.

Hearing Jennie's painful moans, Lisa stopped in his tracks. He turned around and walked towards Jennie in big strides.

"Here, I'll give you a hand." As he stretched his arm towards Jennie, she angrily pushed it away.

Lisa frowned and merely stood aside without helping.

Jennie found the neck brace a hassle and took it off. Her injured arms supported herself on the bed, and as she hopped on, she gritted her teeth.

Jennie stubbornly looked at Lisa, like a slender grass wavering in the wind but refusing to be blown away. "Lisa! I have something to tell you."

Lisa pursed his lips and looked at her in silence.

Jennie was struggling slightly inside. She wanted to lay her cards on the table with Lisa to obtain his trust and help but was also scared of she might trigger or enrage him.

Since Jennie didn't speak after a while. Lisa gradually lost his patience and turned around to leave.

But Jennie made the decision. She weakly grabbed Lisa's sleeve but urgently said, "Lisa, I'm very young, very pretty, and rather intelligent—shall we make a deal?"

Lisa looked sideways at her with his brows furrowed, but he did not speak.

Jennie continued, "Old Master Manoban is getting older. He wishes to have a grandchild, right? I can marry you and have your child. I only have a request—I want you to escort me around for a year. After I've gotten my revenge and bore you a child, we can split ways. I'll definitely not take a cent from you and have a clean break up!"

In the previous lifetime, Lisa mentioned his grandfather occasionally to Jennie. Jennie knew that when Old Master Manoban died, his only regret was that he didn't manage to see Lisa get married and carry his grandchild.

After she spoke, Jennie observed Lisa's reaction with fear in her eyes.

Lisa's expression looked very dangerous. His gray-blue eyes were filled with caution, suspicion, as well as a tinge of... murder intent!

Jennie was terrified.

Her fingers that grabbed Lisa's sleeves subconsciously started to tremble.

Lisa bent over, looked at Jennie's face at close proximity, and said in a bone-chilling tone, "Who are you?" He lifted Jennie's chin with his left hand so that they could look at each other straight in the eye.

Jennie saw a pair of emotionless eyes. She instinctively swallowed her saliva as a chill ran down her spine.

"Tell me everything you know about me." Lisa gradually increased the strength of his grip. If Jennie still remained silent, Lisa might crush her chin.

Jennie wavered in his grip. Using whatever strength she had left, she stabilized herself and didn't dare to relax at all.

Against Lisa's intense gaze and withstanding her goosebumps, Jennie mustered up the courage and said, "You were once from the military and is the son of Shin Hye Manoban, Old Master Manoban Aoyu's only daughter."

After she had said this, Lisa's gaze turned even colder.

Jennie found it difficult to breathe, but she continued, "When you were 24 years old, you were forced to amputate your index and middle fingers due to an injury on your right hand. Since you couldn't fire a gun anymore, you left the army. A year later, you decided to switch to being a businessman. Also, you're the real boss of Zeus Airlines."

Upon hearing this, Lisa suddenly released Jennie's chin, but he locked her throat down.

Jennie instantly broke out in cold sweat from the pain.

Lisa's chilly breath landed on Jennie's face as he questioned her, "Which country are you a spy of?" Because of his grandfather's special identity, spies had appeared around Lisa in the past.

He hated spies to the core.

Warm tears rolled down Jennie's face and it landed on the back of Lisa's left hand. However, at this point, Lisa didn't have any protective feelings towards Jennie at all. He looked at Jennie as if she was a non-living object.

Jennie's throat vibrated against his fingers as she continued to speak. "I'm not a spy. I'm someone who had died once."

"Someone who had died once..." Lisa deliberated over this statement. Half a second later, he released Jennie's throat. "Tell me, how did you die?"

Jennie had no strength left as she knelt on the floor. She grabbed her throat, coughed a few times in quick succession, and only felt better breathing then.

Jennie knew that Lisa wasn't a person to be trifled with. Although she had been reborn once, she still wasn't a match for him. There was no need for Jennie to outsmart him.

In order to obtain Lisa's help and protection, Jennie needed to conjure up her greatest sincerity and tell her biggest secret. After thinking briefly, Jennie told everything that had happened to her to Lisa.

Jennie said, "Just like this, I'm someone who had died once but came back to life for some reason. I know your identity because we knew each other in the previous lifetime. When I got to know you, you were already 41 years old."

Jennie felt slightly wronged.

In the previous lifetime, Lisa had been very gentle towards her. He always spoke calmly and steadily, always treated Jennie cordially, and would never be so cold and unfeeling like today.

After hearing her out, Lisa's views of the world, life, and values were totally tarnished, but he didn't show it on the surface.

Rebirth...

It was indeed such an unscientific matter.

Jennie realized that after hearing such unthinkable things from her, Lisa still remained calm and composed, and she couldn't help but feel impressed. Lisa was indeed majestic and was built for greater things.
