MasukI picked up the top university admission slot that the real heir didn't want. Horace Clark had gone crazy for love. He ran off with a failing student and dropped out, smashing the perfect life he had been handed. Meanwhile, I carried the label of an impostor who stole someone else's place. Step by step, I clawed my way up, became a rising name in the business world, and even married his childhood sweetheart. At the peak of my life, I opened my eyes again and found myself back in senior year, on the day we were filling out our college applications. And floating in front of me were lines of strange comments. [Brian, the fake heir, is a straight-up thief. He stole the life that was supposed to belong to the real heir, Horace!] [In his last life, the real heir completely lost his head over love. He dropped out of school, ran off with that rebellious troublemaker to start a business, and even handed his childhood fiancée to someone else. What a disaster. The guy was a total idiot!] [Good thing he gets a redo this time. The real heir has finally woken up. Now I really wanna see how the fake heir who stole someone else's life ends up crashing and burning.] I watched the comments quietly and sneered. Hate to break it to them, but the road I walked was carved out with my own hands. Even if Horace were reborn a hundred times, he still wouldn't be able to stop me from reaching the top and claiming my glory.

If you're carrying someone else in your heart and can be fooled that easily by a few tears and lies, then whether in our past life or this one, you're not worth another minute of my time."Sharon's hand froze midair. The last bit of color drained from her face.She looked at me one final time.Then she turned around and walked out of the coffee shop with heavy steps, slowly disappearing into the noisy crowd outside.Horace's ending ended up mirroring the life he had lived before.Only this time, it was even more miserable.The charge of false accusation stuck. The Clarks used every connection and every dollar they could to keep him out of jail.But the stain on his name never went away.Ashford University revoked his admission without hesitation. Every bit of prestige he had bragged about vanished overnight.Sebastian and Molly completely gave up on him.They handed him a sum of money, as if they were paying off an embarrassing
Laura's eyes landed on Horace's tear-streaked face.Something in her expression hardened, as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly lifted her hand and pointed straight at me."Officer! It was him! It was Brian! He gave me 1,000 bucks and told me to teach Horace a lesson. He said I only had to scare him, make him look bad… I made a stupid mistake. He's the one who told me to do it!"At some point, Sebastian and Molly had also arrived at the shop entrance.The disappointment on their faces made it look as if they were seeing me for the first time, even after raising me for more than ten years."Brian!"Horace leaned slightly closer. His voice dropped so low that only I could hear it."You're finished. The state officials called you an outstanding young talent. I'm really curious what kind of face you'll make when you end up in prison."I didn't panic or argue.Instead, I calmly raised my hand and pointed toward the security camera in the alley behind the shop."Officer, the
I politely declined Esmond and the professors' enthusiastic offers. Instead, I calmly signed my name on the admission letter from North River State College, majoring in finance.Their top program and the strong local connections I could form there were more than enough ground for me to build something real.Prestigious universities had their shine, but I knew exactly what kind of soil I needed if I wanted to grow fast and grow tall.While waiting for the semester to begin, I kept working at the coffee shop.The floating comments didn't stop.[Wow, national champion, and he's still serving drinks at a coffee shop?][What's with the fake modesty? Turning down top universities just to play poor?][A fake heir will always be a fake heir. You can smell the poverty on him.]At 9 p.m. that night, the last group of customers finally left. I tied up two heavy black trash bags and pushed open the back door.At the alley entrance stood a large green dumpster. I walked over, ready to toss
Esmond's voice rang with excitement and approval."Congratulations, Brian! In the recently concluded Spark Cup National Youth Coding Championship, you won first place by an overwhelming margin."Your project, the Smart City Dynamic Traffic Optimization and Monitoring System, impressed every judge on the panel. They all agreed it's one of the most innovative and practical projects we've seen in years. You've uncovered incredible potential for the future of artificial intelligence in this country!"The entire hall went silent.It wasn't the polite kind of silence, but the stunned kind.People stared, wide-eyed, trying to process what they had just heard.Esmond kept hold of my hand. Then he turned toward Sebastian and Molly, who looked frozen in place, and Horace, whose face had turned completely pale.His voice rang across the hall."Mr. and Mrs. Clark, your family is really lucky. With this national first-place award, Brian has caught the attention of every top university in th
