Rebirth: She Can Marry the Home Invader Chapter 9
The Clarks' family dinner was held at Clark Manor. I changed into a simple, elegant dress. When I walked in alongside Ezra, everyone at the table stood up. Ezra's parents, Edmond Clark and Harper Smith, were seated at the head of the table. Both of their eyes were brimming with tears.As soon as Mrs. Clark laid eyes on me, she grabbed my hand and refused to let go. "Cleo… Ez has already told us everything."I parted my lips, a bit at a loss. In my previous life, I had never met them. When Lucas was recognized by the Clark family, Mr. and Mrs. Clark hadn't even shown their faces. "Ma'am… no, Mrs. Clark," I stuttered, but Ezra chuckled beside me. "You can just call her by her first name."Harper shot Ezra a reproachful look before turning back to me with a gentle smile. "Call me whatever you like, sweetheart. You're our family's greatest benefactor!"The atmosphere at dinner was harmonious. The Clarks were much warmer and more approachable than I had imagined. They didn't put on

The following day, as soon as I woke up, a news notification popped up on my phone. "Police bust massive extortion ring. The ringleader, Triad, and his lackeys have been arrested. The amount involved exceeds 10 million dollars."The accompanying photo showed several men being escorted into police cars. One of them had a scar on his neck. I didn't tap on it to read the full article. After locking my phone, I went back to brushing my teeth. My phone buzzed nonstop on the bathroom counter, flooded with messages from my classmates. I only scrolled through them when I was done washing up."Triad's been arrested, Cleo! Is it related to what happened to you?""Damn. Mr. Clark's such a badass! He took down the whole ring in one fell swoop.""Did Florence get sentenced too? I heard her uncle confessed to everything and dragged her down with him." I replied with an emoji and didn't offer any explanation. I didn't have any classes in the morning, so I sat by my dorm window, soaking up

A week later, a secretly recorded video suddenly appeared on the college forum. The footage showed an alley behind campus grounds, where two men had cornered a young woman, cursing and making threats at her. Crouching on the ground with her hands over her head, the young woman sobbed and shook like a leaf.Someone in the comments section recognized her. "Isn't that Florence? She already dropped out. Why's she still getting cornered?" "Who are those two men? They definitely don't go here.""Someone called the cops. When the cops arrived, they had already fled."I watched the video twice and recognized that one of the men had a scar on his neck. Ezra had shown me his photo before. He was a henchman under Triad. I immediately called Ezra. "Florence was cornered by Triad's men."There was a brief pause on the other end of the line. "Isn't she in the detention center?" "She got out on bail. Her mother must've arranged it." I frowned. "Triad wants to silence her."Ezra fell sile

Three days later, I was ambushed outside the campus gates. A black sedan screeched to a halt in front of me. Its door flew open, and a middle-aged woman climbed out. Draped in a cheap floral dress, her hair was a tangled mess, and her eyes were red and puffy. "Are you Cleo?" She lunged at me, reaching out to grab my hand. "I'm begging you, please spare Florence! She's young. She doesn't know any better. Please put in a good word for her with Mr. Clark. Don't let her go to prison!" I pulled my hand away and took a step back. "Are you… Florence's mother?" "Yes, yes, I am!" Tears streamed down her face. "Florence's uncle's a scoundrel. He's the one who egged her on to do all those things! Florence's too gullible for her own good. She was used by him." With that, she was ready to drop to her knees. I stepped aside to avoid her. "No one forced your daughter down this road. She chose it herself. In other words, she has no one to blame but herself."After hearing that, Mrs. Myers

Ezra, on the other hand, had already taken three steps away. He used a napkin to wipe the cuff of his sleeve where Florence had touched him moments ago. "That's impossible…" Florence shook her head. "You're lying! Luc promised me he'd pick me up as soon as he reunited with the Clark family! I'm carrying his baby!""Luc?" Ezra looked up and asked indifferently, "That imposter who stole my family's emerald pendant and used it to deceive people? He's been taken away by the cops for fraud. He'll be behind bars for at least a decade." Gasps rippled through the crowd beside me. Florence's knees buckled when she heard that, and she collapsed onto the floor. The pregnancy test report slipped from her hand and was swept away by the wind, landing at the feet of the audience in the front row. I rose from my seat and sauntered onto the stage. "What was it you were saying earlier, Florence?"Florence looked up at me. The arrogance in her eyes from moments ago was long gone, replaced by sh

Florence shoved her phone into my face. "Do you think that's not enough? In that case, lick it twice for 20 grand. How does that sound? Better, right?"I looked up. The smile on her face was identical to the one she wore when she strangled me to death in my previous life. I crouched down."That's more like it… but I want you to get on your knees and lick it!"The people around us burst into laughter. I, however, reached out, took off her shoe, and slapped it—coffee and all—right into her face. Florence let out a piercing scream as she lurched back, half her face dripping with coffee. "Have you lost your fucking mind?"I straightened up and looked at her coldly. "I warned you before. Don't mess with me!" She could only point at me, too livid to say a word.I picked up the damaged probe from the ground and swung it in the direction of her stomach. Clutching her stomach, Florence glared at me and turned to leave. The crowd dispersed in no time. Just then, a notification pop
