The windows of the apartment were closed tightly. It was all dark inside.

Hailey turned on the lamp on the wall. Immediately, the space was lit up. She saw the picture of her and her father hanging in the center of the wall in the living room. 

The girl had a small face with delicate features. She smiled happily with bright eyes. She was so pretty. The man was handsome and energetic, smiling delightfully. 

Hailey felt a lump in her throat the moment she saw the photos. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She wiped off the tears with her hands.

She had no time to think too much about the past. Determined, she walked to the bedroom.

She took out a small key from the pocket of a coat in the wardrobe and unlocked a concealed hiding in the wardrobe skillfully.

Seeing the money lying there quietly, she finally felt much relieved as her tight nerves relaxed a bit.

There were thirty hundred thousand dollars in total.

She earned the money by doing part-time jobs. At first, she had wanted to surprise her father by showing him it. She had intended to use the money to pay for her university. However, she gave all the money to Philip who transferred it to Sully in the past life.

Luckily, she had the chance to live her life again with her all past memories. She now was well aware of how cunning Philip and Sully were. Otherwise, Philip would take the money away after she died.

Hailey put all the money into her bag before she locked the concealed. Then she placed the key to the original pocket.

She then took a glance at the surroundings and made sure she did not mess with anything before she turned around and left the bedroom in a hurry.

When she was about to leave, she heard a sound of crackling from the door of the apartment all of a sudden.

Who is this? she wondered as her nerves tightened again.

Before she could think about it, she immediately returned to the bedroom and hid behind the door.

Who could it be on earth?

Holding her breath, Hailey dared not make a sound.

“Pat!”

She heard someone turn on the light flash.

When her brain was functioning quickly to figure out a way to run away, she heard the phone ring. It was from the stranger.

The ringtone was a piece of sexy music. Hailey recognized it and knew who the person was at once. 

She heard him answer the phone.

“Oh my God! Michelle! You just scared the shit out of me. Don’t call me again! Otherwise, I will never talk to you,” a young man said with a seemingly hateful voice.

Hailey twisted the corner of her mouth upon hearing that. She absolutely could confirm who the young man was now. It was Tyler An.

“All right. That’s enough. I am a little bit busy now. Someone seems to break into my friend’s house. I will call you later.” Tyler An bade goodbye and hung up before he put the phone back into the pocket of his jacket.

Rubbing his hair, he grasped a hockey stick from the corner and raised it high above his head. He looked at the photo on the wall with full attention. 

“Hailey, is that you? Did you come back? Show up now and don’t hide anymore. I saw you.”

Hailey was speechless.

“Aren’t you living in your father’s friend’s home? Did you remember that you still have your own house? Is that why you came back here?” Tyler kept talking though no one made an answer.

Hailey did not know how to respond.

“Hailey, is that really you? I don’t think you will come back. You are living in a luxurious villa. Probably you’ve already used to living there and forgotten this place. Are you leaving now? If yes, you should talk to me at least before you leave,” Tyler said again. 

“Tyler, what are you doing?” Hailey finally asked. She could not hold it anymore.

The sudden and abrupt voice scared Tyler An so much that he even jumped because of fear. He had been very scared since the very beginning. He held the hockey stick firmly and stared at the direction where the voice was from, uncertain who was talking.

It was too dark so he could not recognize anyone. Looking fiercely at the figure standing at the door, he asked with a trembling voice, “Who is there?”

“Tyler, are you out of your mind? You’ve already called out my name. I came back to fetch something,” Hailey said as she took off her mask slowly.

Tyler squinted his eyes. When he recognized her, his face paled at once. He said awkwardly, “It’s really you, Hailey. Here you are! I was so scared because I thought someone broke into this house.”

He put down the hockey stick and smiled at Hailey before he wiped the sweats off from his forehead.

Looking at him, Hailey said happily with a smiling face, “So you thought I was a chief? Ha ha, that’s funny.”

“I was just being careful,” Tyler replied as his face blushed when he saw Hailey walk towards him. He threw the hockey stick beside and then walked to the window to withdrew the curtain.

The warm sunlight came into the room. The cold apartment finally was lit up by the sunshine.

Looking at Tyler who was standing there awkwardly with a blushed face, Hailey fiddled with her bang and said, “Thank you, Tyler, for helping me. I really appreciate it to have such a good neighbor like you. You…”

"No, no, no. There is something wrong with you. You are not the Hailey I know,” Tyler said as he studied Hailey from head to toe. “The Hailey I know is more innocent than you. What’s more, she doesn’t talk.”

Tyler’s eyes turned red as he thought about the Hailey he knew. Then he looked coldly at the woman standing in front of him and said, “So you are the thief! What do you want from here?”

"I… Hey! Tyler! Are you out of your mind? I am Hailey!”

"Leave here right away. Or I will call the police!” Tyler said as he took out his phone.

Hailey dashed toward him, trying to stop him from dialing the number. Tyler was so annoyed. Seeing Hailey approach him, he immediately furrowed his eyebrows. He employed the arrest techniques to bring Hailey under control

However, what happened the next moment totally stunned him.

Hailey took out an electronic rod which was often used by women to protect. She hit him with that rod. As a result, Tyler was shocked by electricity and fell onto the ground, cramping.

Hailey then dragged him to the sofa and smiled coldly. “Humph, Tyler! You want to deal with me using that technique? You learned this from my father and I know well about it. It would work on me.”

Tyler could not talk.

"You don’t believe me? Fine. I remembered that when you were in the third grade of the elementary school, a girl liked you and followed behind you with a bunch of roses in her hands. At last, you walked her home. Am I right?

There is a tattoo of my name on your waist. But you didn’t remove it because we did the tattoo together. You want to keep it as a memory, am I right?

And, there was once you were sick. You thought you had some kind of cancer and were so scared of it. You thought you would die soon so you wrote a letter. You…”

"That’s enough!” Tyler could not stand it anymore. “You are the only person who knows about those!"

He took a look at Hailey and then sat up. He reached out to touch her head and said in confusion, “What happened on earth? Did you go to the Zhang Family? But why did you come back here all of a sudden? And why didn’t they ask a driver to drive you?

No, no, no. That’s not right. I saw you move out. You…”

"I came here to fetch something. I will return to that place soon.” Hailey patted Tyler’s hand off. Then she looked outside through the window and said, “The innocent Hailey is gone. I’m different from the former me.”

Tyler had no idea what happened at all.

Hailey then told him everything; that she was killed by Philp and Sully in the past life and that she was reborn and came back.

The whole story was unbelievable. But it was true.

The space fell into a dreadful silence. It took Tyler half an hour to digest this story.

“What the fxxk? How could they bully you like that? Weren’t they afraid of the Karma?” he blurted angrily.

Hailey did not make any response but merely shook her head.

"Hailey, I feel so sorry for you.” Tyler took a deep breath with a heavy heart. He held her hand and looked at her with pathetical eyes. He had been cursing Philip and Sully in his heart for a thousand times.

Tyler looked so sad. Hailey had no way but to hug him and comfort him softly.

She was afraid that someone would spy on her again. So she and Tyler left the apartment at once. They went directly to the basement. Later, Tyler drove his car and sent her back to the villa of the Zhang Family.

When they arrived at the house, Tyler suddenly grew ferocious as he stared forward.

“Hailey, isn’t that woman Sully, the super-star? Why is she here? Is the man beside him Philip?”

Hailey looked forward. As expected, Philip and Sully were walking toward them with shopping bags in their hands.

"Bitches! How dare they conspire to murder you! I feel so sick whenever I think of the picture where they stay together. No, no, no. I can’t just watch them go that easily,” Tyler roared with a low voice as his eyes turned red because of rage.

Before Hailey could make a response, Tyler had already stepped on the gas and accelerated his car, rushing to them at full speed.
