Chapter 3

Originally, the wedding date was set for the tenth of next month.

But my sister was so eager to become the so-called billionaire's wife that she insisted, "I don't care, I want to marry him next week. No! I want to marry him the day after tomorrow!"

My father angrily stood up from the sofa, "Lily, do you know what you're saying? Have you no shame?"

My mother also ran out from the kitchen, trying to persuade Lily, "You're going to have a hard life after marrying him. The later you marry, the better. Why are you so eager to bring forward the date?"

Unexpectedly, my sister raised her chin proudly, like a peacock showing off its feathers.

"Who says I'm going to have a hard life? I'm going to enjoy a life of luxury. Jack is handsome and gentle. I fell deeply in love with him the moment I saw him. I believe our life together will definitely be wonderful."

I smiled as I watched my sister's animated expression, imagining her current happiness.

After all, when I became the billionaire's wife in my previous life, I had access to all kinds of luxury brands and frequently appeared on TV, becoming the so-called national ideal wife.

At that time, she must have been incredibly jealous.

My mother secretly tugged at my hand, signaling me to try and persuade her. I smiled faintly, "Lily is old enough to make her own decisions now. If she wants to get married earlier, let her."

My sister was so happy her eyes narrowed into crescents, "After getting married, I can start building my own family and career sooner."

Our parents didn't quite understand.

My sister smiled and said, "I believe my future will be brilliant. Just wait and see, Mom and Dad."

Seeing my sister's radiant smile, our parents could only sigh helplessly.

I just lowered my eyes, unable to suppress a sneer.

My sister only saw the glorious side of my previous life, and now she's eager to replace me and live that so-called brilliant life.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how she plans to turn the incompetent Jack into a billionaire.

As the wedding date approached, Jack's side still showed no sign of preparation.

According to our local customs, before the wedding, the groom's family must give the bride some jewelry, at least a ring, necklace, and bracelet.

No matter how small or inexpensive, it's a gesture of sincerity.

Seeing Jack's lack of effort, my father was furious, "Is the Jack family treating my daughter like grass?"

My mother wrung her hands nervously, "Yes, getting married without even a piece of jewelry, we'll be the laughing stock of the neighborhood."

I calmly watched all of this from the side.

Jack's family was dirt poor, struggling even to put food on the table. How could they possibly have extra money for jewelry?

My father was still regretful, "If it weren't for the engagement, we would never let our daughter marry into that family."

Thinking about his beloved daughter going to live a life of hardship, my father was heartbroken.

My mother sighed, holding Lily's hand and trying to reason with her, "Lily, if you really don't want to marry him, we can find another way."

Lily panicked and shook her head vigorously, "Of course I want to get married! In this life, I won't marry anyone but Jack!"

Her casual words made our parents' eyes dim with sadness.

"Looks like the wedding day will have to be a simple affair."
