Reborn Again, The Brother Who Refused to Save His Parents Regretted to Madness
The night my parents were kidnapped, my police officer brother wanted to accompany his fake sister bungee jumping.
I didn’t stop him and decisively called the police to prepare the ransom.
In my previous life, my brother didn’t go with the fake sister to save our parents.
As a result, when she went bungee jumping, the rope broke, and she fell into the cliff. Her body was never found.
My brother didn’t say a word afterwards.
On my birthday, he drugged me and took me to that cliff.
“You planned the kidnapping. You’ve gone too far in your pursuit of attention. You’re a demon!”
“Olivia died, so you shouldn’t live either!”
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my parents were kidnapped.
This time, my brother didn’t launch a rescue mission but rushed to his fake sister instead.
Later, however, he regretted it to the point of almost going insane.

I suddenly opened my eyes, my forehead covered in sweat.
My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, as if it was about to burst out.
The feeling of weightlessness hadn’t dissipated yet, and the familiar room layout came into view.
I checked the time.
I had been reborn, reborn on the day my parents were kidnapped.
In five minutes, the kidnappers would call, demanding that we prepare the ransom within an hour, or they would kill my parents.
I was the Bailey family’s daughter who had been lost for eighteen years.
It hadn’t even been a year since I returned to my parents‘ embrace, and they were already my everything.
No matter what, I couldn’t let the tragedy of my previous life happen again.
I quickly went downstairs to wait by the phone, with my police officer brother Lucas, dressed in a tactical outfit and casual pants, following closely behind.
“Mia, why are you so nervous? Who are you acting for? Mom and Dad aren’t even here.”
“Aren’t they ‘kidnapped‘ by you?” I retorted.
Lucas revealed a mocking smile.
At that moment, I was certain he had also been reborn.
His current expression seemed to be telling me, don’t struggle, it’s useless.
Without his parents to play along with me, this show would end even sooner.
In my previous life, Lucas believed that I had meticulously planned the kidnapping, aiming to gain attention and make our parents care about
me more.
I didn’t know where he got such an absurd conclusion from.

In this new life, Lucas decided to directly ignore my “trap.”
“Mia, don’t blame me for not warning you, instigating a crime is also a crime.”
“Don’t cry and beg me to bail you out when you end up in jail.”
I wanted to say something more, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the urgent ringing of the phone interrupted me.
Each ring felt like a needle piercing my heart.
Lucas, however, acted as if he couldn’t hear it.

Before leaving, a hint of disdain flashed across his brow.
“Do whatever you want. I’m going to accompany Olivia bungee jumping.”
“Anyway, nothing will really happen to them. Don’t bother me unless it’s necessary.”
That’s not what he said in my previous life.
Using his years of accumulated criminal investigation skills, Lucas quickly located the kidnappers‘ hideout.
In just one hour, he brought our parents back unharmed.
That day, I was so focused on my traumatized parents that I completely missed the suspicion and anger hidden in Lucas’s eyes.
It wasn’t until later when he tied me up at the cliff’s edge that I realized.
During the rescue, Olivia Chen had called Lucas countless times.
Because Lucas didn’t answer her calls, she went bungee jumping alone and had an accident.
Now, the phone’s ringing sounded like a death knell, making me feel anxious all over.
I picked up, and the kidnapper’s voice came through clearly.
“Two million dollars, prepare it within two hours, or your parents won’t make it.”
I stared in horror, my eyes wide.
What? Wasn’t it only one million dollars in my previous life?!
