Chapter 6
Besides that, I also saved many inappropriate clips of Philip and Kate.
I held up my phone and said, “I’ve got a few things, too. If you won’t let me leave, I might just say a bunch of things online.”
Andrew inhaled sharply, his face full of rage.
Still, he wasn’t bold enough to risk the Gorman Group’s future.
Eventually, the servants had to move aside.
Jeff grasped my hand firmly, and together we walked toward the exit.
In my previous life, I never made it out of this prison before I died, but this time, I’m finally walking away from the Gorman family!
Just then, Philip’s voice came from behind us.
“Tahlia, if you’re planning to marry rich, you better think twice.
“The Fabre family is about to collapse. Even if you marry him, your happy days won’t last long.”
Kate quickly stepped in to calm her down.
“Philip, just let it go.
“When Tahlia ends up struggling on her own, she’ll eventually return to us asking for help.”
Asking them for help?
That’s not going to happen.

Chapter 6
Because before I came back to pick up my bags, I had already agreed to marry Jeff.
The wedding is scheduled for three days from now.
Jeff brought me to his house, but he avoided eye contact and said, “Tahlia, what Philip said earlier was actually true.
“Our family is indeed facing a severe financial crisis. There’s a chance that we might go bankrupt.
‘The wedding ceremony hasn’t happened yet. If you want to back out, there’s still time.”
I was really touched by how honest Jeff was.
Still, I squeezed his hand tightly and said, “Don’t worry.
“Maybe after marrying me, your family’s financial troubles will disappear?”
He gave a soft laugh, clearly thinking I was just trying to comfort him.
But then he pulled me close and wrapped his arms around me.
He said, “Tahlia, I swear, no matter what, I will never let you suffer any injustice.”
The wedding went ahead as planned.
But something unexpected happened. As I arrived at the hotel wearing my custom–made wedding gown, I ran straight into Philip.
He was dressed in a suit, holding Kate’s hand, and he stared at me with a mocking look.
“Tahlia, weren’t you so sure when you left me?
“What’s this?
“You heard I was getting married, so you wore your wedding gown and came here to steal the spotlight?”
After he said that, everyone nearby turned to look.
He seemed completely certain I had shown up to ruin his wedding.
But then, all of a sudden, his smug smile disappeared.
Because right behind me, Jeff was slowly walking in his direction.
Philip held back his fury. “What’s he doing here?” he demanded.
I looked up and answered evenly, “Jeff is the man I’m marrying. Why wouldn’t he be here?”
Without waiting for a reply, I turned around and walked into the hotel.
Philip suddenly charged after me, looking frantic. “Tahlia, I’m the one you. love the most! Why would you choose him instead?”
Kate, clearly alarmed, tried to stop him but ended up being shoved to the floor.
I glanced at Philip and gave a small smile.
I said, “Mr. Gorman, I never promised I’d be your bride.”
Philip stood frozen. He muttered, “No… that can’t be true.
“In the previous life, you loved me deeply.”
He grew so overwhelmed that he tripped on the stairs, hitting his head hard and starting to bleed.
Just then, his assistant came running in, out of breath.
“Mr. Gorman, something’s wrong! A few of the projects we invested in have just imploded, and the company’s shares are plummeting!”
