After Rebirth, My Besties Rushed To Hell1
Late at night, after work, my best friend Talia Caldwell and I heard cries for help coming from the alley.
Talia hurried away, while I rushed in to rescue the person.
To my surprise, the girl I saved was the daughter of Trevon Pearson, a CEO of a major corporation.
Trevon awarded me a generous annual bonus and facilitated my marriage to a wealthy heir.
Meanwhile, Talia was still living in a dingy, small, and windowless rental room in a slum.
Consumed by jealousy, she set a trap to have me killed.
When I woke up, I found myself back at the day I passed by the alley.

In the pitch-black alley, a woman's cries for help came.
"Evelyn, I'll go save her! You run away quickly. It's dangerous here."
My best friend Talia snatched my bag, took out pepper spray and a powerful flashlight, and ran into the alley.
I watched her figure and instinctively touched my body.
I knew that this time, both of us had been given a second chance at life.
In my previous life, resented me for not taking her along to save the person.
It caused her life to rot and decay at the bottom of society.
She had arranged to meet me under the pretense of borrowing money, and I, defenseless and carrying a child, went to meet her.
In her twisted mindset, she worked with her gambling and abusive husband.
They kidnapped me and took me to a remote warehouse.
After receiving a massive ransom...
They let scum rape me, leading to the death of both me and my child.
Even with a second chance, the memories of those scenes were vivid in my mind.
My hatred for Talia was deeply ingrained.
No amount of time could erase it.
To avenge the murder of me and my child in the past life, I couldn't afford to let her see any hint of my rebirth.
I turned and ran back home without a backward glance, lest she think I was trying to steal her glory.
This time, it was her turn to go to hell.
The next day, Trevon came to thank Talia, bringing his rescued daughter, Danielle Pearson, along.
With a group of bodyguards and servants, their presence made her less-than-500-square-foot rental look even more shabby.
Trevon immediately instructed his secretary to purchase a 3000-square-foot apartment for Talia in the city center.
He also arranged for a maid to take care of her daily needs.
"Thank you, Mr. Pearson. My best friend is in urgent need of money, so I'll have her work as my maid."
