I snatched back the amulet and sneered, “Axel, I heard you were expelled from the Wizards‘ Council before Christmas for using dark magic. You’ve been using those evil spells to do terrible things for wealthy clients.
“To save my life, I had to apply for this protective amulet from your former Wizards‘ Council. Let me remind you—the evil eye works both ways.”
When I was reborn, I suspected Axel was the mastermind behind everything in my past life. So I investigated his background early on and obtained this amulet.
Moreover, when I told the Wizards‘ Council about this matter, Chairman Charles Hall felt deeply sorry for victims like me. He’s already decided to take action against Axel and will come looking for him soon.
Hearing this, Axel panicked immediately: “You went to see Mr. Hall? What did you tell him? No, Mr. Jones, I need to get out of here and lay low.”
With that, he turned to flee.
But Theodore had been waiting three years just to transform his beloved woman from a dog back into a human. Now that Axel was suddenly trying to escape, how could he possibly accept that?

Theodore said coldly, “You’re not going anywhere! No matter what, you must turn Lucy back into a human today. I’m sick and tired of living with a dog every single day. Do you have any idea how bad she smells? I can’t take it anymore.”
Hearing his words, Lucy went crazy, running back and forth in her toy poodle body: “Theodore, what did you just say? How dare you find me disgusting? Three years ago, if you hadn’t cheated on me, why would I have driven to catch you in the act? How would I have ended up like this? How dare you find me disgusting?”
Theodore’s expression was terrible. Clearly, he’d been pushed to his limit.
He instinctively covered his nose and said, “Even if I wronged you, do you know how rank that dog urine smell on you is? Do you know how much mental preparation I have to do every day just to hold you?
“Now Axel finally has a way to turn you back into a human. Just accept it. AIDS? A dirty body? Even if this body is filthy, it’s still better than you as a dog.”
Lucy broke down completely. She frantically ran around the room like she’d lost her mind.
Theodore immediately made his decision: “Axel, since Liliana has the protective amulet and we can’t swap souls with her, then

extract Sofia’s soul instead. After all, we originally cast the spell on her, so the soul swap will be easier.”
Axel said anxiously, “Yes, Mr. Jones. After the soul swap is complete, don’t forget the money you promised me. This time I’ve really run into trouble. I might have to flee abroad to hide.”
Theodore assured him, “Don’t worry, Axel. As long as you turn Lucy from an animal back into a human, I’ll give you however much money you want.”
Hearing their conversation, Lucy screamed frantically: “No! I don’t want such a filthy body. I don’t want it! Ah!”
Before she could finish her refusal, a piercing scream rang out.
I spun around to see Sofia had somehow produced a sharp dagger and, in the moment Lucy went mad, plunged the blade into the toy poodle’s body. Blood immediately began flowing.
“Lucy!” Theodore shouted in shock, pointing at Sofia: “You bitch, how dare you hurt her! I’ll kill you!“.
Sofia’s face wore a terrifying and twisted smile as she gripped the dagger tightly, staring at Theodore.
She laughed and said, “Stop it! You’ve been disgusted by this revolting dog for ages, haven’t you? I clearly saw you desperately washing your hands with disinfectant every time you held her.

“Since that’s the case, I’m helping you get rid of her. Isn’t that great? After all, it’s just a dog. Even if the police come, they won’t do anything to me.”
Theodore was stunned, unable to think of any words to refute Sofia.
The toy poodle’s breathing grew weaker and weaker. But her hateful curse grew stronger: “You bitch! I won’t let you go even as a ghost. Theodore, I hate you! You’re the one who made me like this. In my next life, I’ll definitely come back for revenge…”
At that moment, Theodore suddenly stepped forward. Before the toy poodle could finish speaking, he kicked her away. The toy poodle slammed hard into the wall.
After spitting up a mouthful of blood, the toy poodle quickly stopped breathing entirely.
At the same time, police burst through the door and took everyone present into custody.
*****
At the police station, I realized Sofia had called the police.
However, because of Theodore’s status, it took the police a long time to reach the Jones estate, so when they arrived at the Jones manor, they found nothing suspicious except for a dead dog.

Sofia knew it would be useless to tell the police about such bizarre events, so she said she’d made a false report. Soon, we were all released.
Thinking she was finally safe, Sofia had just walked out of the police station and was about to mock me when a large truck suddenly came speeding from across the street, hitting her directly and killing her on the spot.
I was able to dodge the truck because Charles, who had come to arrest Axel, pulled me aside.
After recovering from the shock, I immediately thanked
Charles. Then I went straight back to the police station to report Theodore for murder.
Based on the evidence at the scene, the police indeed found proof. However, Theodore refused to confess and was soon released on bail.
Just when I thought the law alone couldn’t punish Theodore, news suddenly broke that he’d gone insane.
One night, he dreamed that countless dogs came to claim his life. As he frantically tried to escape, he fell down the stairs, injuring his spine and becoming completely paralyzed.
For the rest of his life, Theodore could only lie in bed.
Yet even so, he still felt terrified, saying every day that dogs were

coming to bite him. He didn’t dare sleep or close his eyes–he’d gone completely mad.
Soon, the Jones Corporation’s shares and projects were divided up by various board members, becoming other people’s companies.
After this ordeal, I decided to change jobs and move to another city, far away from all these chaotic people, and start a new life.
The End.
