Boulders crashed down.
More than half of Quinn's body was crushed to pulp. He died instantly.
Jade had been pushed partway out, but her left leg was still pinned beneath a boulder weighing several hundred pounds.
Only her shrieks echoed through the valley.
By the time villagers pulled her free, the leg was destroyed. Comminuted fracture. Nerve death.
Amputation.
When Jade woke, she was lying on a clinic bed.
Her left leg was gone.
"My gold… where's my gold…"
She murmured to herself.
The nurse looked at her like she was crazy.
"Gold, my ass. Your man is dead, the house collapsed, and you're a cripple now. The cops still have to investigate whether you used illegal explosives."
Jade was struck like lightning.
In my past life, I married Quinn Mason and became rich.
In this life, she married Quinn Mason and became a widow and a cripple.
Why?
This script wasn't right!
At that moment, I was in my office in Seaview City, signing a factory construction contract.
Tyler Chavez poured me a cup of coffee.
"Ms. Fox, your hometown called. They said your younger sister had an accident."
I blew on the steam rising from the coffee, my expression calm.
"Oh, got it. Send two hundred dollars back. Consider it… a gift."
