Reborn to the Day Before

The next morning, I waited downstairs early. When Xavier walked over with Sandra, he was startled to see me. He quickly handed the coffee in his hand back to her. "Lily? What are you doing here? Why haven't you left for work?"I replied with a smile, "Don't you know my school is near your company? Or have you never thought about giving me a ride too?"Xavier opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words. Sandra's smiling face turned stiff. She spoke in a pretentious tone, "Is this your wife, Xavier? She's so beautiful—unlike me; I don't know how to dress up."In my previous life, I had little interaction with Sandra. I now know that she's actually such a pretentious woman.I replied coolly, "Beauty doesn't matter. Some men simply prefer the ugly women outside."Xavier caught my underlying message. He lowered his voice, explaining, "This is Sandra, my new coworker. She lives in the building next to ours..."I wasn’t interested, so I opened the back door and got in the car. Sandra s

In the video, Xavier and Sandra were getting intimate in the back seat of my car. I had intentionally clipped the most intense segment of the video. Xavier pinned her down, panting heavily, and said, "You're so much better than Lily. She's always so lifeless, like a dead fish."Sandra responded with a soft gasp, "My husband is always away on business trips. If it weren't for you, I would have gone insane a long time ago..."Following my post, nobody posted anything for a few minutes. After that, the group chat erupted with messages.[Oh my, isn't that Xavier Henderson from Building 8 and Sandra Lee from Building 12? Who could have known they're actually that kind of people?][Goodness, my husband always speaks well of Xavier's work ethic and integrity, but he's actually just a scumbag!][Poor Mrs. Henderson. I feel sorry for her.]The group admin tagged me, saying, ["Umm.. please don't post things that have nothing to do with the community, or I'll have to kick you out.]I c

Xavier could only watch helplessly as the video played, his face shifting from red to white, then to blue, until he finally collapsed to the floor like a pile of mud.Sandra, still tearfully trying to defend herself, pleaded, "Honey, listen to me! It's not what you think! It's Lily; she's trying to...""Shut up!" Justin slammed his hand on the table, cutting off her words. "You've humiliated me enough!"The manager attempted to calm the situation, saying, "Um, let's not make this public... Mr. Lee, we'll deal with this properly, I assure you!"Justin pointed at Sandra with disgust. "Get out of my sight, you disgusting woman!"After staggering to her feet, Sandra suddenly fainted.After Justin left, I noticed some eyes in the meeting room looking at me with pity.Ignoring the gazes, I walked straight to Xavier, who was sitting on the floor like a defeated dog.I sneered from above him, "Isn't this great, Xavier? Justin's dumping Sandra, and I'm dumping you. Now, you and Sandra c

On the internet?I rewatched the video of me helping Gregory again and again. Finally, I zoomed in and found the culprit. It was Sandra, filming from my car’s passenger seat. I remembered that day, I had asked Xavier to pick me up because I had urgent matters to attend to after school.Pointing to the injury at the corner of my eye, I turned to the police and asked, "I can sue the person who spread malicious rumors about me which led to my assault, right?"The officers checked the footage, then went with me to the hospital where Sandra was being treated.We found her room after asking the nurses for her room number. I entered first. Upon seeing my injury, Sandra covered her mouth and laughed. "Wow, you got off easy. I thought she would kill you!"I sneered, "Wow, you're actually confessing."Her expression changed as two police officers entered the room behind me. Sandra quickly adopted a weak demeanor and said softly, "I was just joking around with a friend..."The police pul
