Chapter 5

The holiday before the final year of high school was short, but for me, it was enough to go on a study tour in Riokiye.

Jessica told George and Megan in an envious tone that she had never been to Riokiye either, and that she would study hard and take them with her in the future.

Hearing this, they praised her for being sensible and bought her a plane ticket to Riokiye overnight.

After Jessica found out, she excitedly hugged their arms and said coquettishly, "Mom, dad, you are so kind to me!"

"You can consider it as a reward for getting into the advanced class. In the final year of high school, you won't have time for traveling."

They never mentioned how she got into this advanced class.

Ever since our last fight, George and Megan no longer cared about my feelings. They even bought the plane tickets two days earlier than me.

On the morning, before the three of them set out, Jessica sneaked into my room while I was washing up.

When I returned, I happened to see her holding a wet and soggy invitation letter.

She opened her big, innocent eyes and said to me, "Mia, I didn't mean to. I wanted to bring you a glass of juice before I left, but I accidentally spilled it. I immediately wiped it with a tissue, but it got worse the more I wiped it."

Jessica was about to cry when Megan saw my indifferent expression. Then, she scolded me, "It's just an invitation letter, so why are you looking at Jessica so fiercely?"

George turned around, picked up the luggage, and said nonchalantly, "It's a good opportunity for you to stay home and study. You didn't get into the advanced class, so you have to work harder."

I didn't utter a single complaint until they were out of my sight.

I had excellent grades in my previous life and with the review I was doing now, I was confident that I could be admitted to a key university even if I didn't get into the advanced class.

Jessica posted photos of them at Disney on her Facebook.

She dressed up like a little princess holding a big cake in her hand, with the caption: [To be the little princess loved by my parents in the happiest castle in the world.]

Many classmates had praised her, while others had raised questions and commented below about why I was not included.

They didn't know that I didn't even have anything to eat at home.

It didn't matter. I firmly believes that as long as I worked hard and got into a good university, I could change my future and got everything I wanted on my own!

Chapter 6

In my senior year of high school, I studied hard day and night and maintained excellent grades even in an ordinary class.

Jessica couldn't keep up at all in the advanced class and didn't know how to do her homework, so George and Megan asked me to do it for her.

I did the homework for two people by myself. It was a bit tiring but my grades improved quickly.

I was busy studying and Jessica was busy having a secret crush.

She had a crush on Quentin Worthington who was in the advanced class.

Quentin came from a well-off family, and he possessed a sunny and handsome appearance. Moreover, he exceled in his studies, which undoubtedly attracted a considerable number of admirers.

But he only liked mathematics.

Quentin was surprised as he happened to see my working on the math assignment for Jessica.

Jessica seemed to have found an opportunity and took the opportunity to add Quentin on WhatsApp, frequently sending greetings.

But he mostly ignored it.

After a long time, Quentin discovered that Jessica could not solve the problems at all. Instead, he often came to the ordinary class to discuss problem-solving ideas with me.

As Jessica found out, she was furious and spread the word everywhere in the school that I seduced her boyfriend.

Meeting Henry again, Jessica, Quentin, and I stood in the office to explain.

No matter how he explained that he had nothing to do with Jessica and that he and I were just discussing study, Henry still called our parents.

As George and Megan heard that I had snatched the person Jessica liked, they slapped me in front of everyone.

I was knocked to the ground by such great force that it took me a long time to recover.

Henry, who was usually strict, was intimidated by this situation. He stopped George and Megan and told them to educate me properly when I made mistakes and not to use violence.

This incident caused a lot of uproar in the school, and Henry asked the three of us to write a self-criticism and hand it in.

Jessica cried to George and Megan at home and complained that I had ruined her good marriage. They also thought that Quentin's family was good and it was a pity to miss out on it. The three of them vented all their hatred on me.

That night, I was asked to kneel down all night and write a self-criticism.

The next day, my knee swelled up, causing me to limp while walking. Seeing this, Quentin immediately guessed that they had punished me again upon they return home.

He sent me the screenshots of all the chats between Jessica and him and deliberately avoided suspicion with me.

During the last period of my senior year, I spent all my time doing exercise. My classmates thought I was working too hard, but they didn't know that I was working hard for my future.

Before the examination, I remembered that in my previous life, my parents let Jessica go to college in my place, so I was more careful this time.

I recorded the entire conversation where they were discussing their plans to use connections and have someone modify my enrollment information in the future.

This time, no one could stop me from realizing my dream!
