Quickly, I pieced together the situation. I'd been reborn at eight years old and had awakened the ability to hear people's inner thoughts.
In my previous life, I'd been the fake heiress of the Lothaire family.
When the real heiress returned, Laurence had taken me back to the Artois household.
Laurence was cold and intimidating. He relied solely on his looks to break into the entertainment industry, where he became a widely hated celebrity.
In my past life, I had barely been home for long before he brought me onto this parent-child reality show.
His company had intended to use the show to salvage his reputation.
But I hadn't cooperated at all, constantly going against him and provoking his icy demeanor.
The media capitalized on the drama, publishing countless articles condemning him. Influenced by the narrative, netizens flocked to his social media to hurl abuse at him.
By the time his company realized the damage, it was too late. Laurence had slashed his wrists in his apartment.
I became the indirect cause of his death.
At the time, I was young and naive, assuming Laurence hated me.
But now, hearing his thoughts, I realized how vastly different they were from his actions.
So this man... had two faces?
Curious, I raised my eyes to study Laurence.
He happened to be looking at me too. His dark brows furrowed, his expression as forbidding as ever.
In a cold voice, he said, "Cecelia, come with me."
This show had five sets of participants.
Each group had an older sibling bringing along their younger sibling to spend seven days and nights together in the countryside.
In my previous life, I hadn't been able to handle the outdoor environment.
I'd snuck away while Laurence was napping.
When he came to find me, he was bitten by a snake.
Though it wasn't fatal, he kept quiet about it, enduring the pain in silence.
The delay in treatment affected the filming schedule, earning the director's frustration.
Right now, I had just been found, and the other participants were scolding Laurence.
