I gasped in shock–this voice was exactly the same as the one I’d heard just before dying in my previous life.
Who on earth was talking to Sofia?
Sofia obviously heard it too and spun around abruptly: “Who’s speaking?”
She held up her phone, looking around frantically, but found only herself and the poodle in the room–no one else.
She immediately yelled at me: “Liliana, what the hell are you up to? Preparing gifts for that dog? This is my wedding, and if there are any gifts, they’re mine!”
I said to the screen: “That wasn’t me speaking just now.’
”
I was getting more and more unsettled, but Sofia didn’t care and wanted to continue mocking me.
Just then, Theodore’s voice came through: “Sofia, are you ready?”
Sofia turned around excitedly. “Ready! Theodore, is my wedding dress beautiful?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Theodore slapped her hard across the face and demanded angrily: “Who told you to wear a

wedding dress? Didn’t I prepare a white gown for you? You should be wearing that one!”
Sofia staggered and fell to the ground, stunned: “But today is my wedding! Why should I wear that old gown? And it still has bloodstains on it.”
Hearing this, I remembered that when I married Theodore in my previous life, he had also demanded I wear an old, dirty white gown. He said it was a family heirloom dress, a tradition that brides must follow.
In
my past life, I was blinded by love and didn’t question the sinister plot behind it.
But in this life, Sofia was being asked to wear the same dress. Seeing that she hadn’t worn it, Theodore was furious. It was obvious that this dress was far more than just a matter of tradition.
Theodore suddenly entered the room, and Sofia forgot she was still on a video call, focusing only on arguing with him.
Theodore became even more enraged and slapped her again: “What do you think you are, daring to despise Lucy’s dress? Letting you wear this dress is giving you an opportunity, and choosing you is your blessing. You’d better behave, or the consequences will be brutal.”
Sofia was completely stunned, covering her swollen face as she

looked up at Theodore: “Theodore, what do you mean? Didn’t you say you loved me, that you wouldn’t marry anyone but me? Why are you hitting me? Why have you suddenly become so terrifying?”
Theodore sneered with mockery in his voice: “Bah! Look at yourself–I’d have to be blind to actually fall in love with you.
I’m only marrying you because Lucy chose you. I thought you were smart, but I didn’t expect you to be so shameless. Now even looking at you disgusts me.”
Theodore was about to hit her again. Sofia realized she couldn’t escape and immediately closed her eyes. But suddenly she heard a voice stopping him: “Stop it, Theodore. If you ruin her face, how am I supposed to use it next?”
Sofia froze, her face instantly turning pale as she looked around in terror: “Who’s speaking? Who’s calling your name? Theodore, did you hear that?”
She frantically grabbed Theodore’s arm, her eyes filled with fear, thinking she was having auditory hallucinations,
Theodore impatiently pushed her away, walked to a corner of the room, and picked up the poodle that had been lying on the silk carpet. The dog was looking at Sofia mockingly, its mouth opening and closing as it spoke: “Fool! You still don’t understand that you’re here to die.”
