Before the Fatal Crash, I Reborn and Raged

Start Reading

In my last life, my girlfriends childhood friend, a trust fund brat, pretended to be a wealthy heir and caused trouble. After I exposed him, he angrily drove his car straight into me. As I lay dying, my girlfriends sister knelt and begged her to save my life, but she remained indifferent.

No way. Vance is too high-status to dirty his hands for this insignificant nobody. Dont think that just because youre dating me, you can get arrogant. Know your place!

My girlfriends sister knelt for three days and three nights, eventually dragged away by the brat, abused, humiliated, and left for dead. Until my heart stopped, my girlfriend was still protecting the brat, covering up his crimes, refusing to believe he had hit someone with his car, and then assaulted her sister.

Reborn, I didn't choose to humbly beg my girlfriend to even look at me. Instead, I first called my eldest brother.

Bro, some jerk is impersonating me and causing trouble. Get someone to handle it.

Also, the engagement with the Scott family, I want to switch. From Clara Scott to her sister, Elaine.

Over the years, Id poured huge resources into the Scott family, only to raise a backstabbing ingrate. I wanted to see how Clara and her childhood friend would act so arrogant without me!

Robert Miller! You made me look like a fool in front of so many people tonight! Ill make you regret it! You were so arrogant exposing me then, did you ever think youd face this day?

Youre just a poor kid. Clara doesnt even care about you. Even if I flatten you into pulp out here in the middle of nowhere tonight, shell still protect me, believe it or not!

Vance Scotts familiar words reached my ears. Before I could even react, I felt blinding headlights drawing closer, the engine roaring as it ran over me. A searing pain shot through my body. Thats when I realized I had been reborn.

I had been reborn to the moment Vance Scott brutally ran me over. My shattered phone beside me had, at some point, dialed my girlfriend Claras number. Her cold voice, filled with disdain, came through the receiver.

Robert Miller, stop calling me. I know youre just jealous of my relationship with Vance, trying to sow discord. She continued. Vance wouldnt hit you with his car. That car cost a fortune; its not worth totaling it just to hit you. No matter what you say this time, I wont believe you!

She fell silent after that, seemingly waiting for my reaction. But unlike in my last life, I didnt try to explain or plead with her, trying to make her believe Vances true colors. Instead, after seeing Vance drive away, I painstakingly reached out and hung up. Using the last bit of my phones battery, I made another call. Once it connected, I endured the pain wracking my body and said, Bro, help me.

My ears were ringing, and I couldn't clearly hear the reply, but I was certain my eldest brother would come. I was my brothers favorite, and the future second-in-command of the Miller family. The familys protection of me was strict. These years of living under an assumed name to date Clara was the limit of their tolerance. If they found out someone dared to harm me, they would torment that person to an inch of their life, repaying it a thousandfold.

I was dragging my body towards the edge of the road when I saw Vance suddenly return in his car. The window lowered, and his shadowy eyes fixed on me. Clara said you werent dead. She was right. My heart sank. If he hit me again, I truly wouldnt survive. Just as he stomped on the accelerator, on the brink of despair, a red car rushed out from another direction, slamming into Vances Maybach.

A woman got out of the car and ran towards me, anxiously calling out, Robert Miller, are you alright?! It was Claras sister, Elaine Scott. Remembering how she had desperately pleaded for someone to save me in my last life, and how she was humiliated and left for dead by Vance at my bedside, my heart was filled with a mix of emotions, but mostly guilt and gratitude. I vowed to protect her this lifetime, never letting her be harmed again.

Without time to wonder why she was here, I pushed her away. Dont mind me! Go!

But it was too late. Vance suddenly grabbed Elaine by the hair from behind, yanking her over. Before she could even speak, Vance kicked her directly. You damn bitch! Where did you come from? He roared. Do you know who I am, young master? You dare to stop me from teaching this insignificant nobody a lesson? Do you have a death wish?!

Elaine was kicked in the stomach, immediately breaking out in cold sweat from the pain. But she gritted her teeth and bit his hand. Vance hissed in pain, then casually picked up a rock and mercilessly smashed it onto her. Seeing Elaines head gushing blood, my heart ached. I yelled, Shes Clara Scotts sister! Arent you afraid Clara will come after you for hurting her?

Vance froze, but then, seeing her face, he let out a wicked laugh. He slapped her to the ground and began to unbuckle his belt. What if shes Clara Scotts sister? Its her blessing that Ive taken an interest in her. He continued. Besides, Im the second young master of the Miller family. The Scott family owes everything to me. If I insist that this young woman was harmed by you, do you think Clara will believe you or me? If she kills you, it has nothing to do with me!

My heart burned with anxiety, but my legs were crushed, unable to move. I could only reveal my true identity. Enough! I am the true Miller heir! She is under my protection. If you dare to harm her, I will use all of the Miller familys connections to make your life a living hell!

Vance burst into laughter. You tell a good lie. But the eldest Miller brother has already personally acknowledged me as his brother! How dare you impersonate me here?

My heart skipped a beat. I knew nothing about this. My parents were devoted to each other, with no other illegitimate children. My eldest brother had also personally vowed to only recognize me as his biological brother in this lifetime. Where did this guy come from? Before I could fully comprehend, Vance, his face sinister, leaned in close to me, raising his foot to kick me. Outside the desolate road was a river; if I rolled in, I would surely die.

Just as I precariously propped myself up, trying to save myself, Elaine Scott lunged at him from behind, tightly hugging Vances leg. Robert, run! Ill hold him off! She bit down hard on Vance, who was now utterly enraged and about to strike us both when the sound of a helicopter cut through the sky.

The Miller family had arrived!

The Miller familys secretary rushed down from the helicopter, rescuing me and Elaine. Vance was knocked unconscious and dragged away. Elaine, however, had fainted from shock. I urgently told them to take her to the hospital for treatment, while I only had my fractured limbs roughly stabilized. I sat outside the emergency room for a long time, until Elaine was safely taken to a private room, and only then did my racing heart calm down.

I immediately called my eldest brother to reassure him. Hearing I was injured, my brother slammed his fist on the table in a furious outburst. Who hurt you? If I wasnt tied up, I would have flown there with my secretary and had him broken limb by limb, making his life a living hell!

I didnt want him to blow things out of proportion, so I just said, Bro, the engagement with the Scott family that was set for next month, I want to change the person.

My brother was startled. Youre not marrying Clara anymore? Youve been devoted to her for three years; I thought you wouldnt marry anyone else.

Yes, I dont want that woman anymore. I want Elaine Scott. I added. Also, all the resources Ive invested in Clara Scott over these years, I want them all back! I had treated Clara as the love of my life, but she treated me like a pathetic lapdog, letting her friends humiliate me. Both in my last life and this one, she fiercely protected that Vance Scott. I was utterly disgusted with her.

My brothers voice was low. I understand. Ill do as you say. He continued. I have to recall my secretary, but Ill leave Miller family bodyguards to protect you. You focus on recovering in the hospital. He paused. Also, dont think you can hide your injuries from me. Ill find out who hurt you. If they touched even one of your fingers, Ill chop off ten of theirs! This time, before I could answer, the call ended. I had wanted to ask about Vance Scott, but it seemed Id have to wait for next time.

I turned to walk to Elaines room when I heard hurried footsteps in the corridor. I looked up just in time to see Clara Scotts furious face. She raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap to my face, raging, Robert Miller, have you lost your mind! You actually hired people to bully Vance! Hes the second young master of the Miller family. Havent you heard how protective his brother is? Youre not long for this world!

My face was turned sideways from the impact, but I smirked. Hes a Miller? Then why is his last name Scott?

Clara said, What do you know? Hes the Miller parents child born late in life, the familys top priority for protection. Whats strange about having him live under an assumed name and keep a low profile for safety? He and I have been friends since childhood. I only just learned his identity. What about you, a country bumpkin with no background?

Just then, I saw Vance Scott, who had been locked in a warehouse and beaten black and blue by the secretarys men, emerge, trailing behind the Miller familys head bodyguard. Clara Scott looked at me with schadenfreude, believing I was done for. I was wondering why he had been released when the head bodyguard walked directly towards me. I thought he was going to shield me, but he suddenly grabbed the club from his waist and savagely swung it at me.

What kind of trash are you, daring to bully our young master? You must have a death wish! This is for the young master, a lesson for you!

I was hit, blood streaming down my forehead. My vision turned crimson, my head ringing, almost making me faint. But his eyes, looking at me, had a scarlet gleam, as if he was truly protecting the master behind him. I was instantly bewildered. Youre crazy! Dont you recognize me? Im the second young master of the Miller family!

But the other party spat, his expression fierce. I think youre delusional! Ive worked for the Miller family for almost ten years. I only know of Young Master Vance. What are you, daring to impersonate him!

Vance Scott then emerged from behind the bodyguard, staring coldly at me. I felt his gaze, like I was fish on a chopping block. He turned to Clara and said, Clara, what do we do about this? Tonight, I just wanted to quietly have a few drinks with friends, but your boyfriend, in front of everyone, claimed I was impersonating the Miller heir. He continued. Our Miller family motto has always been discretion, so I tolerated him again and again, even asking someone to politely escort him into a luxury car and send him away. He finished. But he slandered me, claiming I ran him over! Ruining the Miller familys reputation. How should we settle this score?

Everything he said distorted the facts, like something out of a fairy tale. But Claras face paled, and she immediately grabbed my collar, yanking me from my wheelchair. Then she kicked my knee, forcing me to kneel heavily on the ground. She ordered someone to press my head down, making me kowtow repeatedly. Robert Miller, I never thought youd be such a person! Apologize to Vance immediately! Keep kowtowing until hes willing to forgive you!
