After the celebration ended, Nancy didn’t return to the Muller family’s estate. Instead, she came back to the villa with me.
Right in front of her, I called in 20 cleaning staff to throw out all of Tina’s belongings.
Our butler, Luke Hammer, immediately tried to stop me.
“Ms. Cindy, I don’t know what Tina did to upset you, but kicking her out of the house is too much.”
I rolled my eyes at him. “This is my house. Mona gave me this villa before she passed. Why should I let an outsider like her live here?”
Luke stubbornly blocked off Tina’s room. “Ms. Cindy, if you have anyone lay a hand on her things, I’ll call your father right now and have him deal with you!”
After hearing that, I immediately instructed Nancy’s bodyguards to tie Luke up.
“Tina’s not the only one getting kicked out. You’re leaving too, Luke!
“After all, a butler who bites the hand that feeds him and helps outsiders bully the master of the house doesn’t deserve to stay here.”
Luke immediately burst into tears.
“I’ve worked hard for this family for ten years, and now you’re throwing me out with nothing? Do you even have a conscience?”
Nancy sighed and looked at me. “Seems like you really had it rough. Even a butler dares to threaten and bully you.”
I looked back at her firmly. “Grandma, I’ve grown up now. From now on, I’ll protect myself, and I’ll be here to take care of you,
too.”
I turned around and slapped Luke across the face.
“I already found out you’re Tina’s biological father, and I’ve figured out your little secret. So stop pretending.”
Luke froze in fear upon hearing that. His arrogance vanished as he stared at me. He was too afraid to say another word.
In my past life, after I died, it was Luke who used a meat grinder to shred my body, which had already been dissected by Tina.
It turned out this burly man was actually Tina’s real father.
The two had spent ten years carefully plotting an elaborate scheme against my two brothers and Bobby.
Ten years ago, Luke became a butler in our household.
But he wasn’t content being a butler all his life, working hard only to make less than a fraction of the Muller family’s wealth.
So he poured everything he had into training his daughter, Tina, who took her mother’s last name after their divorce, and sent her to elite finishing schools for young women of high society.
His original target had been my father. He tracked down information on Bobby’s first love and had Tina undergo cosmetic surgery to look like her.
After my mother died, Bobby never considered remarrying. Besides, Bobby always had heavy security around him.
Unable to get close to Bobby, Luke and Tina redirected their focus toward the Muller family’s heir.
They weren’t sure which of my brothers would ultimately inherit the company, so they tried to get close to both of them.
Sure enough, both David and Evan fell for Tina and secretly kept her as their sugar baby.

When Bobby eventually found out, Tina used her surgically–altered face to pretend to be the daughter of his first love.
And so, the father–daughter duo ran circles around my two brothers and Bobby, and they had me killed in the process.
If I hadn’t been reborn, I never would have uncovered their twisted scheme.
Just then, Bobby, my two brothers, and Tina all rushed into the villa in a panic.
When Tina saw Luke tied up, she was furious.
“Cindy, how could you do this to Luke? He’s an old man!”
I pointed at her and ordered the bodyguards, “Tie her up too.”
Sensing danger, Tina immediately turned around and ran toward my brothers.
“David! Evan! You both promised to protect me forever. Please, save me!”
David instantly pulled her into his arms protectively, while Evan dropped to his knees at my feet, crying and pleading.
“Cindy, everything that happened at the company celebration was our idea. It had nothing to do with Tina. Please, let her go.”
I remained unmoved.
That’s when Bobby finally spoke up. His voice was full of threat.
“Cindy, if you keep going after Tina like this, I’ll cut ties with you.”
I snorted coldly and tossed him a document I had prepared in advance.
“Perfect. I’ve been waiting for this. Sign it!”
The moment I finished speaking, Bobby stared at me in disbelief.
“Cindy, are you insane?”
