My Friend Faked Death, I Made Her Lose Everything Chapter 1

After I was reborn, I poured my 'best friend' Veronica's ashes down the drain.

In my previous life, Veronica's boyfriend cheated on her.

He not only stole all her savings and fled but also left her with mountains of debt.

Veronica was beaten to death by relentless debt collectors.

In her final moments, she entrusted her daughter, Chloe, to me.

To care for Chloe, my boyfriend, Brandon, broke up with me.

My own parents cut me off.

After I'd finally raised Chloe to adulthood, Veronica, who was supposed to be long dead, reappeared, arm-in-arm with Brandon.

Brandon sneered, full of himself. "Veronica is a billionaire heiress. Who's to say you weren't only after her money by pretending to be her friend?"

He paused, his gaze dismissive. "But now, seeing you've raised our daughter so well, it seems you've passed our little test."

I lunged forward, ready to tear into them, but my adoptive daughter Chloe actually slapped me across the face. "How dare you lay a hand on my parents?!"

The shock sent a wave of nausea, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing, unconscious, on the spot.

When I woke again, I found myself reborn to the very day Veronica was beaten by the thugs.
