Chapter 3 Cooperation
Laurel convinced her parents.
They were skeptical.
But Laurel’s unwavering attitude forced them to compromise. They promised Laurel that they would
support her every decision on this matter.
Laurel returned to her room and lay on her bed.
She hadn’t been on this bed for a long time. She never thought she would miss this bed so much. And
she never imagined that leaving this bed would mark the start of a tragic life.
Laurel blinked and took out the black card.
Hayden…
Who was this man?!
Laurel questioned herself whether she made the right. decision.
In her last life, Laurel had helped Bruno and the Scott family rise from a regular rich family to a powerful
one. The only obstacle they had encountered and failed to clear was Hayden. Hayden was surprisingly
a tough opponent.
When Hayden called Laurel out of the blue the night before her wedding, Laurel now wondered if that
was merely a prank… Laurel needed more information.

But Laurel knew she needed help if she wanted to destroy the Scott family.
Laurel thought for a moment before taking her phone and calling the biggest luxury mall in Rosegrad
City.
“Hello, Ms. Lambert,” the receptionist said politely.
“Can I give you my card number and shop?”
“Ms. Lambert, is your card a co-branded card of our mall?”
“I don’t know.””
“Ms. Lambert, if you give me the card number, I can check for
you.”
Laurel read the black card’s number.
The receptionist sounded humbler after the process. “Ms. Lambert, your card is for the supreme VIP in
our mall. You can shop without a credit quota. Whatever you desire, you can buy it via video call and
we’ll deliver the item to your house.”
Laurel glanced at the black card and thought, “I didn’t know it could do so much.”
Laurel heard many rich boys had special cards to show off their wealth. But she never heard of an
unlimited one. And it could be used in a high-end mall. If Laurel wanted, she could bankrupt Hayden.
Laurel didn’t overthink it. She said, “Video calls are unnecessary. I’m giving you a list. Please shop for
me and deliver them to my house. The address is…”
The call went on for a long time.

Laurel went to bed directly after hanging up.
Laurel felt she needed sleep to calm her mind.

The whole reborn thing was too shocking. Laurel needed time to adjust.
On Lime Hill.
Lime Hill was an elusive and mysterious place for the church on it. But on the other side of the hill,
there was a private club. The high-end club was member-only. Not every rich man could join.
Hayden was a frequent visitor to this club.
Hayden sat in a booth. The booth was on a cliff. Hayden looked out from the floor-to-ceiling window
and enjoyed the beautiful view.
Hayden was smoking with a cavalier attitude.
Some of his friends were playing billiards. A group of women were serving them. To say they were
obscene was an understatement.
“Hayden, your phone keeps ringing.” Erik Reed reminded Hayden, He was sitting next to Hayden.
Hayden turned and glanced at his phone.
“Did you break up with someone again?” Erik noticed the rings were from the bank’s notice.
Erik thought Hayden had paid a higher price than usual.

Hayden grabbed his phone and scrolled through it casually.
The messages from the bank were still coming in.
“You’re too generous.” Hearing the constant ring, Erik said with pity, “You didn’t even touch…”
“I have to. It’s my future wife,” Hayden suddenly spoke up.
Erik paused for a second and said, “What did you say?”
“I said I was getting married.” Hayden put out his cigarette. The casual move appeared extra charming
with the smirk on Hayden’s face.
Erik was stunned by Hayden’s handsomeness for a second. He recovered and shouted, “Say it again!”
Hayden picked up his jacket and said, “Remember to buy me a wedding gift.”
Then Hayden left.
Hayden reached the door.
“Hayden…” A woman stood in his way and said sweetly.
Hayden glanced at the woman.
He said, “Move.”
The woman was frightened.
People told her that Hayden never rejected a woman.
She looked at Hayden in disbelief. The woman scurried away under Hayden’s cold gaze.

The woman felt that
Hayden would kill her if she didn’t move.
She shouldn’t trust the rumors.

This was the woman’s first visit to this club. The rich boys brought her here. She thought she could take
the chance and seduce Hayden… She thought, “I knew it. A rich and handsome man like him can’t be
seduced so easily.”
Laurel was sleeping.
A call woke her up.
She glared at the number on the screen grumpily.
Thanks to her sharp mind, Laurel recognized Hayden’s number, though she never saved it. Laurel kept
her anger under control and picked up her phone. “Hello.”
“If memories serve, I gave you the card for a check-up.” Hayden sounded annoyed, but his voice was
still as melodious
as ever.
Laurel remembered that she brought a lot of things with. Hayden’s card. She did it to force Hayden to
contact her.
Laurel chuckled. “I remember that the card is your betrothal gift.
“Is that why you spent 5 million dollars so freely?”
Laurel didn’t know she spent so much.

She brought a few things. That was it.
Laurel replied, “It’s money well spent”
“How?”
“Help me take down the Scott family. I’ll clear all your obstacles in your way of making your family more
influential,” Laurel said solemnly.
Hayden didn’t say anything for a few seconds.
Hayden was slightly taken aback.
Why would Laurel know Hayden’s goals and future plans?
Laurel sort of guessed what Hayden was thinking. She said directly, “I know you more than you think.”
“It doesn’t sound like fair trade,” Hayden said coldly.
“No. You should be glad that I’ll be on your side, instead of…” Laurel said. “Helping Bruno.”
In Laurel’s last life,
Hayden was Bruno’s arch-enemy in every way. And Hayden. always came back from Bruno’s strikes. It
also meant that Bruno was a strong opponent.
These two men were each other’s sworn enemies.
Their fight hadn’t had a result until the day Laurel died.
Laurel thought maybe Bruno would win in the end since he was more despicable.

Bruno was so despicable that Laurel wouldn’t be surprised if Bruno married into a more powerful family
with the Lambert Group’s money after killing Laurel.
Laurel tried really hard to make herself temporarily ignore the cruel tortures she had suffered.
“Ms. Lambert, aren’t you in love with Mr. Scott? I’m surprised that you want to work with me now.”
Frankly, Hayden didn’t believe Laurel.
“Come to my wedding. I’ll show you how serious I am.” Laurel understood that she couldn’t convince
him at the moment.
They were adults. She needed to prove herself.
“OK.” Hayden agreed without hesitating.
Maybe it was because Laurel knew more things than Hayden expected.
Maybe it was because it wouldn’t harm working with Laurel.
Either way, Laurel was surprised by Hayden’s quick answer.
But Laurel rarely showed her emotions. No matter whether she was happy or sad, Laurel always
carried herself well. Even when she was tortured to death by Bruno, Laurel held her head high. She did
it to protect herself and it showed her strict upbringing.
“It’s a date,” Laurel said.
