Shawn’s facial muscles twitched slightly, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes before vanishing.
When he spoke again, his tone had returned to its usual coldness, distant and condescending,
“Is it really worth it? Sierra, even if t.inla’s performance falls, you still won’t get to dance. Not only that, your Crazy, out–of–control behavior was caught on camera for everyone to see.
“This time, you can’t just fool everyone with a fake doctor’s memo. The school has already contacted our parents. They’re preparing to expel you.”
“Hahahaha!”
I laughed aloud. “Expelled? Why would I care about that?”
“Shawn, don’t forget, I’m just as much a Wood as you are. Just like Alec said, even if this path closes, there are plenty more I can take. From the start, my goal was simple—bring down Linda Lowe. That’s it.”
All the things she’d falsely accused me of in my past life, I was making them a reality now.
The paths she took before, I was going to block them one by one.
“The score between us isn’t settled yet, Linda,” I thought.
In front of everyone, I caused chaos at the anniversary celebration, even striking Alec and Linda.
The rumors of me bullying Linda at school spread online, stirring up a major public uproar.
The feud between the rich girl and the poor girl had always been a hot topic, whether it was ten years ago or today.
The difference this time?
This time, my words on stage were sharp and unmistakable. The whole world saw just how much of a wreck I’d become.
Moreover, I played Symphony No. 5 with such intense anger and madness….
Many people stood on my side.
“She doesn’t seem like the type of rich girl who would bully the poor, does she? From the way she plays the piano, she doesn’t look like that kind of person.”
“Haha, seriously? Are we using her piano skills to judge her character now?”
“No, seriously, look at her. Her ankle was so badly swollen, and she was covered in blood. Which bully would end up like this?”
“Forget everything else, just look at her–she’s so crazy, it’s like she’s from Mars.”
In the end, Rachel and the girls from the dance group began arguing with the online trolls:
1/2
“Sierta Wood is nothing like what you’re saying!”
“Linda Lowe provoked her first!”
The online debate raged on.
During my days in the hospital, I had no idea what Shawn said to my dad.
But when I was discharged and came home, he looked at me with cold indifference.
“You’ve been left on your own for a while, and now you think you can do whatever you want? Since your school won’t let you stay, why don’t you go study abroad instead?
“Lay low for a few years and come back when the storm blows over.
I wasn’t surprised by his attitude.
Because when it came to me and Shawn, he always sided with his son.
In my previous life, when the engagement party incident happened, my dad was still alive.
There was no way Shawn could have caused such a stir without my dad finding out.
But even after I died, my dad kept quiet.
But it didn’t matter.
I tugged at the corner of my lips. “Fine.”
“You’ve always wanted to study acting. I’ll help you get in touch with people and apply to an art school-”
“No.”
I interrupted, “I want to study finance. I’m going into business.”
The two of them froze for a moment.”
When my dad looked at me again, his gaze held a new, deeper meaning.
