NOVEL WEB Chapter 28: True Blockage Revealed.
Melissa Tren was a Chinese immigrant. Or rather, her parents were. In the original story, she was the one who Carter cheated on Monia with. But, like with most people, there was no love. The man was fooled, as Melissa was a great actor.
In truth, it was just for the money. After all, she was supposed to inherit the family businesses, which were all famous casinos. But a distant cousin had schemed against her, so Melissa had no real option in the matter. Well, I mean, she could have gotten a job, but extreme luxury was always her life. That cousin of hers even kicked her out of the family…
After a while of being with Carter, Melissa had met Monia a few times. With just one meeting, Melissa had fallen in love with her. Instantly, she had planned on scheming against Carter, and taking over the Granda fortune, before then seducing Monia.
The plan went well, and, given a few more months, Carter would have an accident, and everything that he stole from his sister would soon be Melissa’s. But this was all foiled. The author cut the extra story short, preventing her plan, which was never even mentioned, to be followed through.
It was edited out, but the effects were still present in this novel world. This second time through, the Will of Existence of this world wanted a different ending. Thus, enter the reincarnated Monia, and the regressor Melissa. Taking a hands-off approach, the Will was certain that a better ending will be presented to her, so she let things go as they please.
Originally, Monia, after discovering the death of Risa, ended her life. Risa’s death had ruined the already broken Monia, and Monia’s suicide had guaranteed Melissa’s death. Once Monia had died, Melissa felt that it was all over for her. Which was weird, as they barely met more than a handful of times.
Getting Carter ungodly intoxicated, Melissa then started a fire. While burning to death, she honestly felt no pain. Losing Monia was the most painful thing that she ever felt, so a little charring here and there meant nothing to her.
Soon dying, Melissa was shocked to wake up in her old room. Back at her family estate, and still the sole heir. Even if this was just a made-up delusion of her currently dying mind, Melissa didn’t care. She sought to stay the heir and prevent her cousin’s scheme.
Knowing it all in advance, this went swimmingly. In just a year after going back in time, she had gotten it all. Now steady, her thoughts turned to Monia. Doing research, she learned that Monia was different than she was in her first life. This worried her greatly. “If she also regressed… then won’t she just stay with the woman who kidnapped her?” She nervously thought.
Quickly, she needed to find a way to get Monia to fall for her. Like with Risa, shouldn’t she also do the same, and kidnap the woman? Luckily, Carter, with no money, and no one backing him, was still the fool that she always knew that he was. It was so easy to trick him, taking all of his money in less than a day.
Ring!
Giving him the easy way out, Melissa only wanted to get in contact with Monia. Of course, the man who loves money more than anything was more than willing to get this for her. Looking at her phone ringing away, she was very excited. This excited only lasted until she finally answered the call. As… the person who called her wasn’t who Melissa wanted to get a call from…
