Chapter 6

Author: Silvery Sails
My family was in complete chaos in Roston.

After finding out I'd really gotten into Orivelle Institute of Technology, Dad was beside himself with regret. "That brat! She got a perfect score on the SAT and never said a word! She made us look like fools in front of all our relatives."

Mom was bitter. "She did it on purpose! She saw us fussing over Winnie and got jealous. She pretended she hadn't gotten into university just to watch us make fools of ourselves! What an ingrate!"

  • Reborn: I Won't Give Up My Future Again   Chapter 10

    Five years later, a grand ceremony was being held in Orivelle Grand Hall to honor the successful launch of the Orionis-9 Heavy-Lift Rocket.I stood at the center of the stage in a sharply tailored black suit, wearing a pair of lightweight rimless glasses. The national honor medal pinned to my chest gleamed beneath the lights.As the youngest chief engineer on the project, I took the stage on behalf of the team and gave a speech.Thunderous applause filled the hall as camera flashes lit up the room like a sea of stars.I looked out at the pioneers who had devoted their lives to the nation's space program and thanked them.As I stepped off the stage, Brian patted me proudly on the shoulder. "Sadie, you did it."I smiled. "This is only the beginning."…Meanwhile, in a basement in Roston, the ceremony was playing live on a phone screen.Henry sat on a worn folding bed in a threadbare jacket, staring at me on the screen—the woman who now seemed to shine brighter than anyone else.

    My family was dumbfounded. Mom stood there with her mouth half open, tears still clinging to her cheeks. She looked almost comical, like a puppet with its strings cut."What… What did you say?" Wade stammered. "Sadie is a researcher? How is that possible? She just started university!"Henry ignored them. He pushed Winnie's hand away and strode out of the airport.But my family didn't stop there.When they learned that I hadn't ended up on the streets and had instead become a researcher at Orivelle Institute of Technology, their first reaction wasn't guilt.It was excitement.Dad slapped his thigh, the worry on his face instantly replaced by a smug grin. "I knew we had good genes! If Sadie has really made something of herself, then Winnie's problem should be easy to fix!"Mom nodded eagerly. "Exactly! Winnie's her sister. She can't just stand by and watch her get expelled. All she has to do is tell the university that she gave Winnie those materials. Then they won't expel Winni

    "I don't need you to buy me glasses out of pity, and I don't need to go back to Roston with you," I said flatly.I tore the ID badge from my chest and held it up in front of him. The words were unmistakable—"Core Researcher, National Key Aerospace Project, Sadie Larson".Henry stared at the title, his eyes widened in shock.His face went deathly pale. The words seemed to cut straight through him. "Core… researcher?"He repeated the words under his breath, his tall frame swaying slightly.He had always thought I was a useless nobody who could only survive by clinging to him and my family.Yet now, I was studying at Orivelle Institute of Technology and had become a researcher he would have to make an appointment just to meet."Sadie…" He spoke again, but the certainty in his voice was gone. Instead, it trembled. "Why didn't you tell me? You've got a perfect score on the SAT. Why did you admit at Winnie's celebration banquet that you hadn't gotten into university?"He looked at

    Winnie's life at Caelmont State University was far from easy.Without me to do her assignments and organize her notes, she couldn't even understand the most basic courses in her major.Desperate to maintain her image as the school's golden girl, she signed up for a statewide research and innovation competition organized by Caelmont.The problem was that she couldn't come up with anything worthwhile.The day before the submission deadline, she secretly went home and rummaged through the partitioned room where I used to live. There, she found several sheets of discarded drafts from my high school days. She pieced together the formulas and diagrams she couldn't even understand and submitted them.She thought she had covered all her bases.…Meanwhile, in Roston, Henry canceled every meeting he had scheduled and boarded the earliest flight to Jinton.Sitting in first class, he stared out at the clouds, his heart twisting with regret and panic. He kept thinking back to how he'd tr

She saw us fussing over Winnie and got jealous. She pretended she hadn't gotten into university just to watch us make fools of ourselves! What an ingrate!"Wade ran a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated. "What's the point of complaining now? She's already gone, and she'd blocked every one of us! Where are we supposed to get 10,000 dollars for Winnie's computer and camera?"Henry sat in the corner of the couch, his brow furrowed deeply. He pulled out his phone, opened my chat, and tried to send me a message.The second he sent it, a single gray check mark appeared beside the message. It had been sent, but it hadn't been delivered.He stared at the screen in

    The entire living room fell dead silent."Mr. Larson, what did Ms. Lowe just say?" Henry asked, his face stunned in disbelief. "What top scorer? What university?"Dad stood there stiffly, his mind reeling. He didn't even notice the cigarette burning his fingers. After a long moment, he bent down to pick up his phone, his voice hoarse. "Ms. Lowe said… Sadie got a perfect score on the SAT. Orivelle Institute of Technology has already accepted her.""Impossible!" Mom screamed, shooting to her feet. "She's always been a terrible student! She could barely get into an ordinary university. How could she possibly get a perfect score?""Ms. Lowe must've gotten it wrong! Maybe it's someone with the same name!" Wade quickly chimed in.Mom nodded. "Exactly! At the celebration banquet, she personally admitted that she didn't get into university. We all saw that acceptance letter. It was obviously forged. How could it possibly be real?"Winnie sat on the couch, her fingers twisting the hem o
