Chapter 1

The billionaire heir of Sterling Enterprises, Julian Sterling, was caught having a steamy hookup in the backseat of a car!

As the internet erupted in fury, Julian called a sudden press conference and announced to the world:

"The woman in the video is my fiancée, Chloe Henderson. It’s completely normal for a couple to have intimate moments. I hope everyone can give us some space."

With that single sentence, I was branded as "thirsty," "shameless," and "loose."

Fans abandoned me overnight. Brands canceled my contracts. Endless black-PR flooded the internet.

No matter how much I screamed my innocence, nobody believed me.

Ultimately, unable to withstand the relentless cyberbullying, I swallowed a lethal dose of sleeping pills.

At my funeral, Julian stood before my portrait, whispering with hypocritical grief:

"I'm sorry, Chloe. We had an arranged marriage... I had to let you take the fall."

"Gemma is just an ordinary girl. If a scandalous video like that got out with her name on it, she would have been destroyed."

"But you’re a top star. You’re used to being hated. I thought you could handle it... I didn't expect you to be so weak."

"Just look at this as our sacrifice. I promise I’ll make it up to you in our next life."

After my death, he rebranded Gemma Brooks, launching her career as a rising star with endless premium resources.

Meanwhile, my parents fell into severe depression from the endless harassment and passed away shortly after.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the morning of Julian’s press conference.
