After the Swap, I Reached the Pinnacle of Life

In my previous life, my brother married the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

She was frail and hadn't given him any children in seven years.

I, on the other hand, married her illegitimate halfsister, and she gave birth to triplets right away.

My fatherinlaw was overjoyed holding my sons, and he offered me the company my brother had been eyeing for years.

Jealous, my brother plotted and ended up destroying our entire family.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of my arranged meeting.

This time, my brother spoke up first. He wanted to marry the illegitimate daughter.

He looked at me smugly.

"You can forget about having an heir!

"This time, I'll be the one with sons to inherit the company!"

But I just smiled.

"You will be the one cuckolded this time."

...

When I opened my eyes, I heard my brother, William Lewis, excitedly say, "Mom, I've decided. I'm going to marry Isla!"

Hearing those words, I realized both my brother and I had been reborn!

William was Stella's son.

My father had pursued my mother, lying about not being married, and she fell in love with him.

After I was born, my father accidentally let the truth slip.

Unable to bear the fact that she had unknowingly become the other woman, my mother took her own life.

My father brought me back to the Lewis family, claiming I was Stella's son.

In the household, I had no status, and Stella and William saw me as a thorn in their side.

In my past life, the two families arranged a marriage, and William married Isla, the eldest daughter of the Clark family.

Meanwhile, I married Zoe, Isla's illegitimate sister.

William and Stella had planned to take over the Clark Group through Isla.

However, Levi, the head of the Clark family, favored Isla.

With Levi's support, I rose through the ranks of the Clark Group like a rocket.

My brother, on the other hand, didn't get a single piece of the Clark family's resources.

Levi placed great importance on his grandchildren and said whoever gave him a grandchild first would inherit the company.

In the first year of our marriage, Isla gave birth to triplets.

When my sons were seven, Isla still hadn't had any children.

Levi laughed heartily, holding my sons.

"I've only ever had two daughters, and now I finally have grandsons!

"Owen, as long as your sons take my family name, I'll write up a will and leave the company to you right now!"

I agreed.

On the day the will was made, my brother came to visit and secretly opened the gas valve in my house.

The gas explosion killed all of us.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the arranged meeting.

It was clear that Stella didn't agree with William's proposal at first.

William leaned in and whispered something in her ear.

Stella's face lit up with excitement immediately.

It was easy to guess that he probably told her how much Levi favored Isla and the fact that she could have sons.

Stella cleared her throat, glaring at me. "Owen, William's marrying Isla, so Zoe is yours now.

"You are an illegitimate son, but marrying a legitimate heiress? That's a favor from William! Don't you forget it!

"To show your sincerity, sign this agreement and give up your claim to the Lewis family inheritance."

I faked an excited expression. "Great! I'll sign!"

Stella's face brightened as she quickly pulled out a document from her purse.

As soon as I signed, she snatched the paper and left. She was grinning, with William in tow.

I overheard William laughing. "What an idiot. Once I marry Isla and inherit the Lewis and Clark fortunes, we'll see if Owen comes begging me for money!"

The Lewis Group had always been involved in shady dealings.

In three years, all of it would be exposed, and people would come to blackmail them.

In my past life, I worked hard to avoid being dragged down with the Lewis family.

I exhausted countless resources and money to keep it all under wraps.

After my father died three years ago, Stella was supposed to run the company, but all she cared about was enjoying the money.

William was the same.

They had no idea what I had done for the family.

Now, they were rushing to let me escape this mess. How could I say no?

Besides, William's life with Isla won't be as perfect as he imagines.

The real show is just beginning.

William and I were having our weddings at the same venue.

In my previous life, Levi had introduced all the guests to me, as I was the one marrying Isla.

But now, Levi was leading all the elites and dignitaries toward William instead.

Through the crowd, William shot me a smug look.

Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from behind me, "Aren't you worried?"

I shook my head. "A man's future depends on his ability."

Zoe raised her eyebrows slightly. She was surprised, then a smile appeared on her normally cool face. "Owen, you're really something."

Not far away, Levi respectfully guided an elderly man with white hair into the venue.

William was excited. He rushed over, bowing and nodding eagerly.

The man was calm and composed. He exchanged a few polite words before turning to leave.

When he saw me, he stopped suddenly, frowning slightly.

Seeing this, William rushed over to shoo me away.

"You're in the wrong place, dressed so shabby!

"Do you even know who this man is? If you make him angry, I'll..."

Then he quickly turned to the man, saying, "We don't know him, sir. Don't be upset. I'll get rid of him right now!"

Before William could finish, the man approached me and grabbed my hand.

"Are you Owen?"

I smiled. "Mr. Garcia, I hope you've been well."

William and his mother, Stella, were both left speechless.

Sameul laughed, "The last time I saw you in London, your proposal was a revelation! I had to leave in a rush and didn't get your contact information..."

I smoothly replied, "It's an honor to know you, Mr. Garcia!"

I gave my number to Sameul's assistant, and the other big names surrounding William suddenly started flocking toward me.

Just like in my previous life.

William's face twisted with rage, his nose practically crooked from anger.

He grabbed Isla and stormed off.

Moments later, I received a message from him: [Just wait and see. The Clark Group will be mine!]

After the wedding, I brought Zoe back to my place.

Zoe stopped me.

"You're a good person, very decent," she said. "Although we got married today, I'm sorry, but I can't be a real wife to you.

"We do our own thing, and don't interfere with each other. How does that sound?"

Zoe had striking looks, with a figure just as stunning as any celebrity.

In her wedding dress, she looked like a goddess, drawing the constant stares of the men nearby.

I looked into her eyes. "You love someone else, don't you?"

Zoe nodded and said softly, "When I was young, my family went on a vacation.

"I snuck away to swim in the river. My foot slipped, and the current knocked me over. I couldn't get up.

"A boy about my age saved me.

"I've liked him ever since, but I never knew who he was."

She looked at me and smiled sweetly. "Pretty silly, don't you think?"

She pulled a necklace from her pocket, with half of a jade pendant hanging from it.

Slowly, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my piece.

Zoe's eyes widened in shock.

I smiled. "It was me."

In my past life, I didn't realize until a few years into our marriage.

Zoe never had children because she and William were never truly husband and wife.

She had always been in love with the boy who saved her. That boy was me.

Back then, I had a wife and children. Of course, I never made any moves toward Zoe.

It wasn't until later that I learned Isla had betrayed me, and then my brother had me killed.

Now that I've been reborn, I'm determined to be with the girl who truly loves me.

Zoe looked at me, her big eyes glistening with emotion.

I didn't make a move. I simply escorted her back to her room like a gentleman.

There's plenty of time ahead.

I returned to my room and had just closed the door when there was a knock on the door.

I opened it to find Zoe standing there, looking delicate and beautiful.

"The night is short," she said.

She smiled and fell into my arms.

The night passed.

The honeymoon quickly came to an end.

William and I both joined the Clark Group under the guise of gaining experience.

Just like in my previous life, William was rapidly promoted.

He even approached me, hoping I'd leave the Clark Group voluntarily, promising me a million dollars in return.

I refused without hesitation.

He was so angry that his face twisted with rage.

I steadily climbed the ladder, relying on the skills I'd learned in school, and earned a promotion too.

Soon, I was on par with William.

On the day I got promoted, my colleagues all said they wanted to celebrate.

At that moment, William barged into the office and loudly announced, "I'm treating everyone to dinner today to celebrate my wife's pregnancy!

"Once my son is born, I'll be the future head of the Clark Group. When that time comes, everyone here will get raises and promotions!"

His excited gaze was fixed directly on me.

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

In my past life, the day before the explosion, I was home resting due to illness.

I hadn't told Isla about it.

As a result, I overheard Isla on the phone with someone else.

"It's your fault! Now I'm pregnant again! Owen hasn't touched me lately. How am I supposed to explain this?"

"Fine, once the baby's born, I'll just say it was premature. Seriously, I've already given you three kids. How are you still unsatisfied?"

I was completely floored.

Later, I used my connections to investigate.

It didn't take long to uncover some clues.

It turned out that Isla had been having an affair with Levi's male assistant for a long time!

Levi had disapproved of their relationship.

So, they plotted to continue their affair after Isla's marriage, planning for the assistant's child to inherit the Clark family fortune.

After Levi passed away, they intended to kill me quietly so the assistant could take over.

Before they could kill me, William went mad and ended up killing all of us.

I smiled as I looked at the top of William's head, imagining it glowing bright green with envy.

William shot me a glare and flashed a greedy smile. "What are you looking at? Once my son is born, the Clark family will be mine!

"By then, if you beg me on your knees, maybe I'll consider letting you be the doorman for the company!"

I chuckled softly. "Alright, I'll be waiting."

I hadn't expected William to be so impatient.

The next day, he went to Levi and told him that Isla was pregnant.

Levi immediately beamed with joy. "Really? This will be my first grandchild!

"Great! If it's a boy, I'll..."

William's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Before Levi could finish, Zoe, sitting beside me, suddenly frowned and threw up.
