After Rebirth, I Became a Billionaire — and Choose the Poor Girl
Copyright© 2026 by BillMax
Chapter 1: Back to the first year of high school, I control my own destiny...
“Ethan Cole, thank you for taking care of me all this while.
But I’ve always only seen you as a brother, you will bless us, won’t you?”
On the evening of Valentine’s Day.
Ethan Cole, with gifts and flowers meticulously prepared, arrived at the building below Chloe Winters’s company, intending to confess his love to her.
This would be his ninety-ninth confession to Chloe Winters.
The previous ninety-eight had all failed.
But Ethan Cole was not discouraged.
He continued to treat her well as always.
However, what he received in return was...
On this day of Valentine’s Day.
Witnessing the girl he had pursued for three years in high school, four years in university, and two more years into work.
Falling into the arms of another.
Ethan Cole felt cold all over, and found himself quite ridiculous.
In the second year of high school,
Upon laying eyes on Chloe Winters for the first time, Ethan Cole fell in love with this double ponytailed, sweet-smiling girl.
For her sake,
Ethan Cole had done a lot.
She liked to drink milk tea, so he would buy it for her with the money saved from breakfast.
She enjoyed little trinkets, so Ethan Cole would deceive his parents into giving money for textbooks.
Or he would take out his Christmas money that he had been saving.
Whenever Chloe Winters was on duty, he would clean up for her.
When she struggled with schoolwork, Ethan Cole burned the midnight oil to devise the best methods of study.
When she expressed her wish for the latest mobile phone,
Ethan Cole would spend his weekends in the internet cafe, using his skills to earn money by gaming.
After much effort, with the two-thousand-plus dollars he earned, he bought her a new phone.
Only to receive her lukewarm gratitude.
The first time he confessed, Chloe Winters said they should prioritize their studies now.
However, once she was ready to date, Ethan Cole would be the first she would consider.
Despite his disappointment, Ethan Cole was still full of zeal.
He believed that as long as he gave enough sincerity, he could touch her heart.
After university graduation, she wanted to start a business.
So, Ethan Cole secretly handed her the two million that his parents had given him to buy a house.
Ethan Cole came from a somewhat wealthy family, with tens of millions in assets.
The two million in cash was also something his parents had worked hard to earn.
Yet, Chloe Winters really was not suited for entrepreneurship.
The first business venture failed, and all the money was spent.
Thereafter, Ethan Cole had to borrow money in his own name from various sources.
All while meticulously planning schemes.
After countless days and nights, he was finally able to persuade investors to invest.
The company was practically managed by Ethan Cole alone.
Under his efforts, the company flourished.
It had already gone public and was preparing for listing.
Chloe Winters could be considered successful in business.
Ethan Cole believed that at this point, if he confessed again, Chloe Winters would definitely agree.
But who would have expected that what he received would be a heart-breaking piece of news.
Watching the person he loved most, nestled in the arms of another man.
Displaying a smile she had never shown to Ethan Cole.
Ethan Cole also laughed.
But this laugh was full of anger, helplessness, and insanity.
He recognized the other man.
The company’s second-largest shareholder, from a very wealthy family.
The man, with his arm around Chloe Winters’s waist,
Looked at Ethan Cole with a smile and said, “Thank you for taking care of Chloe for me these years.
When we get married, be sure to come.”
Chloe Winters also said, “Ethan Cole, the company’s development over the years is also due in part to your contribution.
