Additionally, I noticed his social media was quite sparse; aside from this post, he hadn’t shared anything else. A person like him must lead a rather dull life.
That night, he really did take the big bed, leaving me to sleep on the sofa. He clearly didn’t understand how to cherish a woman, but I should be grateful.
The next morning, I was awakened by Finn’s noise. He was listening to music while doing push–ups, exercising
vigorously. I had heard that cold men were often meticulous, but his eight–pack abs and muscular legs were impressive.
“Stop staring; I’m not interested in you,” he suddenly said, getting up from the floor.
“Get dressed and come have breakfast
with me.”My subconscious was telling me

with me.“My subconscious was telling me that this way, everyone would think our relationship was solid. Honestly, I found him quite easy to talk to. Why did I hit Jessica in my past life?
After tidying myself up, I stepped out with Finn. As soon as we exited, I spotted Jessica and Leo walking towards us, their fingers intertwined. Jessica was wearing a strapless dress, and her collarbone and shoulders were marked with hickeys, which she deliberately leaned in to show me. She wore a proud expression, sizing me up from head to toe.
[“Dressed so conservatively, she must have been punished for something, trying to hide her wounds.“]
I could almost hear her thoughts as she smirked.
“How was your wedding night, little sister?”
Today, I was dressed in a tasteful long- sleeved qipao. It seemed Jessica had forgotten that Mrs. Parker despised vulgar attire in her household. Not to mention, heavy makeup was also frowned upon.
But I had no intention of reminding bor I

“Jessica, according to the family hierarchy in the Parker household, you should address me as sister–in–law, not little
sister.”
Her expression soured instantly, and she bit her lip defiantly. “Finn never called me that, so why should I?”
Then she turned to Finn.
“Finn, say something!”
I could feel Finn’s aura growing colder beside me. Leo cursed under his breath: [“Damn fool, just wait until tonight; I’ll deal with you!“] He tugged at Jessica’s hand, signaling her to stop talking. But she remained blissfully unaware of the gravity of the situation.
“Leo, what is the first family rule of the Parkers?” Finn asked softly.
Leo quickly lowered his head.
“I’m sorry, brother; I’ll teach her a lesson right away.”
In the next moment, a loud slap echoed as

“Quickly greet your brother and sister–in- law!”
Jessica’s face turned crimson from the blow, and she was seething with rage. But she knew Finn was not someone to mess with, so she begrudgingly muttered, “Good morning, brother and sister–in–law.”
With that, Leo pulled her away.
I remembered that the first family rule of the Parkers was: no one is allowed to disrespect the heir and his wife, nor address them by their first names. Violators would receive thirty lashes. And Finn was the heir of the Parker family.
In my past life, I had memorized the family rules to survive. Jessica had bullied me relentlessly after marrying Finn, and it was because I remembered this rule that I dared not disrespect her. I had thought Jessica knew the rules, but it turned out she had completely forgotten them. She believed she could still bully me in this life.
After we reached the dining room, Jessica had already received her punishment. Her

face was pale, and she kept her head down, too afraid to speak. I noticed that under the table, Leo was continuously poking her hand with a pin.
[“You wretched girl, this is all your fault; you made me suffer!“]
