After they left, I immediately went to a cafe and opened the betting livestream. The viewer count had shot up to nearly ten million.

In the livestream, Regina stood confidently in front of the betting table.

"You're the woman with incredible luck? You're on my turf today, so I'll see to it you walk away with nothing." The scar-faced man who spoke seemed pretty experienced in the betting scene.

Regina simply took a slow sip of her drink, completely unruffled, as if everything was beneath her concern.

"Is that so? I'll be looking forward to it."

The entire crowd was stunned by her calm confidence. The next second, the scar-faced man revealed a three-of-a-kind, then shot Regina a provocative look.

The livestream chat instantly exploded.

"Three of a kind? Wow!"

"Regina, what should we do? Should we…"

Regina merely smiled and cut in, "Raise the bet!"

My whole body tensed up. In my previous life, when Regina raised the stakes, she ended up winning big while I lost my entire fortune. This time, I wasn't even there. I wanted to see what she could possibly do next.

As everyone fell silent, Regina revealed the dice box—three sixes!

"Triple six!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"No wonder Regina's known for her luck. This is awesome!"

As if sensing something, Regina suddenly looked straight at the camera and met my gaze.

I froze, a chill traveling down my spine.

The next second, a car burst through the glass doors and came hurtling straight at me!

"No!" I screamed out loud, but unbeknownst to me, stacks of heavy boxes had surrounded me, leaving me no room to escape as the impact slammed into me.

Pain shot through my entire body. Blood quickly soaked through my clothes, spreading in a chilling warmth across my skin.

Not far away, the livestream on the phone was still playing.

Despair overwhelmed me. This was the safest place in the entire city. Where did that car come from?

Gritting my teeth, I picked up the phone. In the livestream, Regina's win was met with cheers.

"Good job, Reggie! This is the second round!"

"She won two rounds in a row?"

A chill ran through me from head to toe, and my face turned deathly pale in an instant.

What kind of misfortune would come for me this time?

Without warning, my phone began to flood with countless massive loan approvals.

I endured the pain and checked the details, only to find that every loan was legally binding.

There was no way I could call the cops.

Fear gripped me so tightly that my entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Once Regina got lucky, I would have to endure misfortune.

I didn't want to live my entire life looking over my shoulder like this.

The next round of betting was about to begin. Glancing at my wounds, I made up my mind and quickly grabbed a cab, heading to the casino.

I had to stop her from placing any more bets!

I had just arrived at the casino when a huge sign suddenly came crashing down from above!

My heart skipped a beat. I reacted instantly and dodged just in time, narrowly avoiding getting hit on the head.

I pushed the door open with a bang.

I rushed over to Regina, my face full of fear and panic. "Regina, stop this. If you continue betting, I'll die for sure!"

In my previous life, I watched Regina win prizes and bets again and again, while I had to suffer wave after wave of suffering and illness in the hospital.

My misfortune was so extreme that even the nurses avoided me, and I was shuffled from one hospital to another with no end in sight.

This time, I was determined to get to the bottom of everything.

The moment I finished speaking, anger swept through the entire crowd.

Jack even stepped forward to defend her. "Ariel, you refused to come when we asked you earlier! Now that Reggie is winning, you got upset and came over to stop her? Drop the pity act!"

People around me started shoving me even harder.

"That's right. Ariel, get out of here!"

I was instantly surrounded.

Regina casually rolled a die in her hand, letting out a soft laugh. "Ariel, why would you die if I place a bet? What kind of logic is that?"

My face was tense, tears almost welling up in my eyes.

"You know exactly what's going on!"

At that moment, two words flashed across the livestream screen. "Start betting!"

Regina spoke slowly and calmly. "Alright then. One more round."

They pinned my shoulders down so tightly I could barely move. I struggled beneath them, desperation rising as I pleaded to Regina, "Please stop this! Regina, you'll get me killed!"

Yet, Regina merely flashed a smile.

Just moments earlier, the scar-faced man had already demanded that everything be inspected—the dice, the table, everything. With tens of millions watching, there was no way she could tamper with anything.

This was the perfect opportunity for her to make a name for herself.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened the dice cup again, it was another three of a kind.

Gasps erupted across the entire room.

"Damn, Reggie! We're sticking with you from now on!"

Caught in the chaos, I was shoved through the crowd until I lost my balance completely. At the same moment, the chandelier above suddenly came loose and plummeted straight toward me.

Shards of shattered glass embedded themselves into my skin in an instant. A wave of pain hit me, causing me to lose consciousness on the spot.

When I woke up, I was hooked up to machines and even a ventilator.

The doctor came in with his brows furrowed. "Ms. Nichols, this doesn't add up. Your earlier tests showed no genetic issues. Why did three or four conditions suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

My whole body trembled, tears streaming down my face.

As expected, Regina did this to me!

In my past life, I transferred from one hospital to another, but instead of getting better, I only grew worse. I even got involved in multiple accidents and ended up dying.

"Where's my husband? Doctor, please call Jack Burns."

The doctor's expression was stormy as he handed me the phone. "Talk to him yourself."

On the other end of the call, music and clinking glasses blended together, loud and distant in my ears.

Jack sounded increasingly impatient. "Didn't I say Reggie's celebrating her success? Why do you keep calling? Stop being annoying. Ariel is perfectly fine by herself. Don't call again!"

He then ended the call coldly.

The doctor gave me a long look before turning to leave.

I was left alone in the ward.

In that instant, tears spilled uncontrollably down my face. My emotions surged like a dam about to break, impossible to hold back any longer.

"Why me? Is this all my life will ever be?"

…

Late at night, Regina pushed the door open, stinking of alcohol.

She stood there, dazzling in jewels, holding a celebratory cake personally made by Jack. Her smile was sharp as it landed on me.

"Ariel, why do you always end up back in the hospital? I told you to follow me to the gamble, but you refused to listen. Look at you. Do you regret it now?"

Fury erupted within me. I didn't even feel like talking to her.

Having been given a second chance at life, I refuse to die so vaguely and unjustly.

When she wasn't paying attention, I quickly pressed a knife to her neck and threatened coldly, "Regina Wade, I know this is all your doing. You're going to get me killed! Tell me right now how to undo whatever you've done to my luck!"
