Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Reborn?
Her anger quickly returned.
“You will be kicked out of the base for this!”
However, after waiting for several seconds, Perry realized that Ember wasn’t thrown out.
By now, almost everyone in the restaurant had turned toward them.
For the first time, many of the customers had witnessed someone openly striking another person without immediately being punished under the restaurant’s usual rules.
Whispers spread through the room as people began wondering whether the rules were not as strict as they had believed.
Ember, however, simply smiled.
“My sister is the owner of this base. Of course she can create a few special rules that favor us. That means we can beat whoever we want until the person standing in front of us finally bows down and admits defeat.”
She turned toward the surrounding crowd.
“Be my judge.”
With that, Ember began explaining everything that had happened.
By the time she finished, the crowd was furious.
One after another, people began throwing random objects toward Perry, ranging from slippers and toothbrushes to chopsticks and other harmless items they could grab.
“Homewrecker!”
“How shameless can someone be?”
“She tried to destroy someone else’s marriage!”
Some people even took pictures of Perry and posted them online.
Before long, the incident began spreading rapidly, and Perry’s humiliation became a trending topic.
Perry’s face burned with embarrassment.
She desperately tried to leave the restaurant, but in her panic, her foot caught on something on the floor.
She stumbled forward and fell heavily. The surrounding crowd immediately burst into laughter.
Perry’s face turned red with humiliation, and tears finally spilled down her cheeks.
Jay watched the entire scene without moving.
He had no sympathy for her.
Instead, he walked toward Ember and gently wrapped his arms around her.
“Ember, do you believe me now?”
Ember’s expression was filled with guilt.
“I am sorry. I should not have doubted you.”
Jay finally released the breath he had been holding.
He hugged Ember tightly, his arms trembling slightly with relief.
“It is all right. As long as you understand now, that is enough. I do not want much from you.”
With that, he gently kissed her forehead.
Soon, the two of them left the restaurant together.
By then, everyone inside was buzzing about the drama they had just witnessed.
“Even the dramas I have watched were never this strange.”
One by one, people began posting about the incident online, sharing their own experiences and describing everything that had happened.
Meanwhile, the following few days became a living nightmare for Perry.
First, she was fired from her job.
The very next day, her uncle lost his position.
A day after that, her uncle finally found her and began beating her in his anger.
He even tried to have her expelled from the base, but because he had attacked his own relative, he was thrown out as well.
Having nowhere else to go, he eventually returned and begged Perry to let him back inside.
Perry ignored him completely.
She had bigger problems to deal with.
Because the scandal had become so widespread, she was denied the right to participate in government examinations and even the examinations required to become a warrior within the base.
Without any qualifications or a reliable source of income, she quickly found herself struggling to survive.
At first, Perry had been arrogant.
She had dreamed of finding a handsome man who would treat her well while also possessing enough wealth to give her a comfortable life.
However, that dream came crashing down when her circumstances eventually forced her into marrying a cripple because she had almost no money left.
She became furious and began blaming everyone around her.
First, she blamed Jay for refusing to follow her plan.
Then, she blamed Ember for refusing to fall into her trap.
Finally, she cursed her own uncle.
“If it were not for that old bastard who lured me here and constantly promised that he would give me plenty of food, I would never have come here in the first place!”
She regretted her decisions every single day.
At times, she even wished she could return to the exact day when she had first been given the task.
One night, exhausted from everything that had happened, Perry climbed into bed.
When she opened her eyes the next morning, she discovered that she had actually returned three months into the past, before she had made any deals with her uncle.
For a moment, she could hardly believe it.
Then overwhelming excitement flooded through her.
Without hesitation, she cut off all contact with her uncle.
As she was leaving the building, she happened to encounter Jay, who had come there to conduct documentary research.
The moment Jay saw her, he was stunned.
Perry ignored him completely.
‘We will have nothing to do with each other for the next few years.’
At least, that was what she believed.
Yet, over the following years, she and Jay constantly crossed paths.
Eventually, they developed feelings for each other.
According to the fantasy in Perry’s mind, Jay eventually divorced Ember.
Perry personally watched Ember cry and make a scene, and she even remembered Ember begging Jay to allow her to become his concubine.
However, Jay refused to listen.
Instead, he devoted all his attention to Perry, making her feel completely satisfied.
Then Perry suddenly opened her eyes.
The room was dark and quiet. Everything had been nothing more than her imagination.
Perry’s face twisted with fury.
‘Fine. Then I will follow the exact path from my dream.’
She clenched her fists. ‘I will never meet that man named Jay again.’
As she thought about it, another thought suddenly surfaced.
‘Will the heavens change my ending again?’
Before she could think any further, the door was pushed open.
The cripple she had married entered the room.
He was sitting in a wheelchair and had remarkably good hearing, although Perry could never have staked her life on it.
She had always believed that this wheelchair-bound man was probably some wealthy young master hiding his identity.
‘It is still worth taking care of him for now. Once I discover his real identity, I can cash in on it later.’
However, the biggest setback of Perry’s life was not the fact that she had married a cripple.
It was what she discovered afterward.
The man was not actually a cripple. He had been pretending. Worse, he was not some wealthy young master at all.
Almost everything he possessed had been borrowed.
Perry discovered the truth when debt collectors suddenly appeared outside their home and began pounding on the door.
“Open the door! You cannot keep hiding from us!”
Perry’s face immediately turned pale with anger. She turned toward the man in the wheelchair.
“You bastard! You lied to me!”
The cripple immediately cursed her back.
“You think you are any better? You married me because you thought you could use me!”
Their argument quickly became more heated.
They shouted at each other repeatedly, neither willing to back down.
Eventually, the man’s patience snapped.
He reached beneath his clothes and pulled out a knife that he had been hiding there all along.
Before Perry could react, he stabbed her.
She stared at him in disbelief as pain spread through her body.
Even until the very end, Perry could not understand what she had done wrong.
She had only wanted to survive.
She had thought that seducing and framing a few people would allow her to live comfortably.
But it had been the wrong way to live.
Meanwhile, the news eventually reached Ember.
By that time, Ember was already pregnant with her second child.
Martha was pregnant as well, which filled everyone with happiness.
A joint celebration was held for Martha and Ember, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter, warm food, and cheerful conversations as everyone enjoyed their lives together.
However, Silas, Jade, and the others returned with much more serious news.
They had confirmed that Princess Catherine truly existed.
Unfortunately, she was not anywhere near their current location.
She was at least two hundred kilometers away.
Even worse, her castle was heavily protected, and spies belonging to Princess Rayami were stationed throughout the area.
Sneaking into the castle and approaching Princess Catherine would therefore be extremely difficult.
The group gathered together to discuss how they could reach her.
Just as everyone was trying to come up with a plan, Ivy suddenly spoke.
“How about we open a restaurant here, or perhaps some kind of herbal factory that produces medicinal herbs?”
Everyone turned toward her.
Ivy continued, “I have already heard several reports about the situation here. There are almost no normal plants left. Most of the plants that survived have mutated, and some of them even attack and bite anyone who approaches them.”
She paused briefly before continuing.
“They cannot be eaten because many of them are poisonous. The superior beings are already running dangerously low on supplies.”
A thoughtful expression appeared on Ivy’s face.
“If we can provide them with food and medicinal herbs, we might be able to establish ourselves here without immediately attracting suspicion.”
