Chapter 1
Georgia Stewart was my twin sister. We looked exactly the same, but our personalities and IQs were totally different from each other.
In my previous life, I, Talia Stewart, entered a renowned university with excellent grades and unremitting efforts.
As expected, Georgia, who paid little attention to studying, could only go to a community university.
However, Clara, Clara White, required me to exchange my identity with Georgia, letting her study at that famous university under my name. Although I strongly opposed it, they finally managed to achieve their goal.
In the end, Georgia took my place and became a great success in the field of science and technology, but I jumped off a building and ended my miserable life.
But since I could start over again, without waiting for them to speak, I would smile and make their wish come true before they asked.
"Georgia, you should grab this chance," I said.
——
Clara said, "Talia, let Georgia go to the university you have been admitted to. She's a little stupider than you, so she must have a diploma from a famous university to survive in this competitive society. But you are different. With your intelligence, I believe you can still shine in the community university."
She held two admission letters in her hands. The one on the left was Georgia's, and the one on the right was from my admission letter from an Ivy League university.
I glared at Clara when she uttered those malicious words.
They were exactly the same things she said in my previous life. She sounded so justice as if this was what should be done.
She looked at me expectantly, with a gentle expression on her face.
Putting down the admission letter in her hands, Clara gently stroked the back of my hand.
I sneered in my heart. Only at this moment did she act like a loving mother.
In my previous life, she treated me like an invisible person but was very considerate and caring to Georgia.
It was only after the college entrance examination results came out that she knew I was also her daughter.
In my previous life, I was extremely unwilling to accept her request. After hearing my refusal, Clara simply stopped performing like a loving mother and tore off the disguise of tenderness in an instant.
She stared at me fiercely. "Talia, is this how you repay my kindness of raising you?"
But the funny thing was she barely raised me. When I was in a boarding junior high school, at the beginning of every month, she would often forget to give me living expenses.
Every time I reminded her, all I got in return was her impatient frown. "As the elder sister, you should give better things to Georgia. Why are you so eager for money when Georgia hasn't spent all hers?"
Although our family was not very wealthy, my parents could still afford the food, clothing, shelter and education of Georgia and me.
But they just gave my share to her.
Later on, I stopped asking them for money. It just added to my troubles. Clara wouldn't give me living expenses anyway.
In my previous life, after I rejected Clara to change my identity to Georgia, she locked me in my room.
They cut off my food just to make me compromise, but I refused to obey. When they let me out, I was about to die because of hunger and dehydration.
But what made me even more desperate was that I found out that Georgia had already used my admitted letter to go to the university that I had worked so hard to get into.
In the end, she succeeded in the field of science and technology as she wished, but I was so depressed that I ended my life.
Chapter 2
Georgia and I stood side by side in front of Clara.
She said, "Mom, Talia got admitted with great difficulty. How can I go to college in her place?"
Her pitiful look and red eyes broke Clara's heart.
Georgia choosing to study technology instead of acting would be a loss for the film and television industry.
"Honey, it's okay, Talia will make your wish come true. We have been protecting you so well since your childhood. How can I watch you being bullied for not being from a good university when you enter society?" She looked at Georgia lovingly. What a scene of a loving mother and a filial daughter.
"Talia, look how considerate Georgia is. Why can't you think about your family?"
She accused me of not being good enough for my family.
I had suffered once in my previous life, and this time, I would not let them control me again!
"Mom, you misunderstand me. I have always been thinking about our family. Georgia, you can be me and enter that university with my admitted letter," said I.
Clara looked at my sincere eyes and was surprised that I agreed so quickly.
But she didn't say anything but patted my head, praising me for finally becoming so considerate of Georgia.
"Well, from tomorrow on, you will be Georgia, and you are Talia." Clara pointed at both of us and smiled contentedly.
I thought, "Grab this rare chance very carefully, Georgia."
Chapter 3
"Talia, I'm so sorry. You worked so hard to be admitted into that university. But in the end, I can go there without any effort." After Clara left, Georgia stopped pretending to be a good girl and sneered with a vicious expression.
"Georgia, your acting skills really astonish me. I think you can even get an Oscar Prize," I said.
In my previous life, I knew that Georgia was very good at pretending.
When in school, she was a typical kind of mean girl who bullied others with the boys from the rugby team.
At the same time, she also looked down on nerds like me. But now, her most desirable thing was the admitted letter of a nerd.
But in front of adults, she switched her disguise to be a considerate good girl.
Since I was a child, unlike Georgia, who spent all her time at parties and bars, I had been absorbed in learning and reading in my room.
The neighbors all liked the talkative and cute Georgia but regarded me wearing thick glasses as a plain nerd. So, they preferred my sister.
As the gossipy neighbors kept judging Georgia and me with different standards, they enhanced Clara's biased impression of us.
Most of them stopped learning after they finished high school and knew nothing about the preciousness of knowledge. Of course, they wouldn't understand the smartness was the genuine beauty.
"Tsk, look, no matter what, Clara always favors me. You're just jealous!" She snatched the admission letter from me and stuffed hers into my hand.
But she didn't know I had been totally disappointed with Clara. In my previous life, after forgiving her over and over again, the only thing I could receive from her next time was still betrayal.
She was Georgia's mother, not mine.
Maybe Georgia had no idea that she now looked like an arrogant chicken.
Looking at her swaggering away, I sneered at her in my heart.
In my previous life, no one knew how many nights I had stayed up to get the chance to learn with the best brains in this country.
Maybe Clara knew about it, but she robbed it for Georgia regardless of my strenuous work.
In the past, after school, I looked through the window and saw the heartwarming scene of a woman teaching her daughter to read under the warm yellow light. I had fantasized about it countless times, but it never came true.
I knew Clara would do the same thing; she would just do it with me.
I called her mom only because of our biological connection.
And in this life, I would watch them walk the same path I walked in my previous life and taste the pain of losing everything.
