Chapter 6

Author: Anonymous
The next day, Amelia bought drinks for the whole class as an apology. She even handed mine to me personally.

"Emma, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. I misunderstood you," she said sweetly. "So, I bought you a drink to say sorry. Will you forgive me?"

I looked down at the mango juice in my hand and let out a quiet laugh.

In my previous life, after we were reunited, I felt sorry for Amelia and secretly looked out for her.

Yet, driven by jealousy, she knew I was allergic to mangoes, yet she tricked me into drinking mango juice anyway. Worse still, she had laced it with poison ivy sap.

After just one sip, I broke out in hives, my face swelled up like a balloon. I ended up with mouth ulcers and eventually chronic kidney issues.

Even then, before I could even blame her, she turned on the waterworks. "Emma, I had no idea you were allergic to mangoes. I'm so sorry," she sobbed, but the smirk playing at the corner of her lips made it clear she was anything but sorry.

    When Amelia finally came to her senses, her face went completely pale. She let out a piercing scream and yanked the covers over her head. "No, no, no! Why am I here?"She just couldn't wrap her head around it. She'd watched with her own eyes as I drank the wine, so how did she end up being the one whose life was ruined?Meanwhile, Adam lunged at Henry, throwing punch after punch until he lay unconscious.Just then, Olivia burst into the room and grabbed Adam's arm. "Adam, don't hurt yourself. It breaks my heart to see you like this. It was Amelia who told me she had a thing for your dad. He never returned her feelings, so she decided to drug him tonight."Amelia sat there dazed, and only then did it dawn on her that Olivia had already switched sides.I'd noticed the way Olivia kept sneaking shy glances at Adam during the visit to the nurse's office that day.Adam might have been violent, but there was no denying he was good-looking. Amelia had tried to get Olivia on her side with

    By the end of the year, every company in Eastborough was preparing to host their annual galas.Hoping to mend ties with the Evans family, Henry threw a lavish banquet and invited all the big names from Eastborough's elite circles.Then, just like in my previous life, Henry stood proudly before the crowd, holding Amelia's hand as he made a big announcement."Ladies and gentlemen, after so many years, I've finally found my long-lost daughter, Amelia Foster. From now on, she and Adam will each inherit half of the Foster estate!"Up on the stage, Amelia's face flushed with excitement. She shot me a smug, triumphant look from across the room.Just as I was sitting down in the garden, Amelia and Olivia strolled over. Amelia was all smiles, like she didn't have a care in the world."So what if Charlotte likes you? You're never going to get a single cent of her fortune. Once I inherit everything from the Fosters, I'll finally live the life I deserve. You can sit there and envy me all you

    Olivia, provoked by my words, jumped to her feet and pointed at me. Then, she threw the creepy doll right at my feet."Who told you to put that doll in the box? Amelia and I opened it and got so scared. That's how we fell and got hurt."The room went quiet as soon as those words left her mouth.What an idiot! She just handed me all the evidence I needed.It turned out that after I left the dorm, their curiosity got the better of them. Olivia had climbed up to get the box.But when she saw the doll inside, she was so startled that she fell off the ladder and crashed into Amelia. That was how both of them got injured.I bent down, picked up the grotesque little doll, and stared straight at the two of them. "So, according to your story, I deliberately tried to scare you, right? But as I recall, my doll was on my bed. Why were you two up there messing with my things anyway? My bed is on the top bunk."The looks from everyone around us changed in an instant. So, the truth was, the "v

    Olivia spent three days in the hospital before she finally came back.She told everyone she'd had an allergic reaction to the mangoes in the juice, but still went around spreading rumors that I had forced her to drink it.For a while, a few classmates who already had it out for me kept whispering behind my back.I paid them no mind. After all, it was always lonely at the top.Back at the dorm, Olivia was still covered in red rashes, yet she sat beside Amelia, laughing and chatting like nothing had happened.When I noticed the familiar bracelet on Olivia's wrist, I couldn't help but sigh. Amelia really was generous, clearly willing to spend whatever it took to win Olivia over.Olivia, catching sight of me, rolled her eyes every chance she got, but the effect was almost comical with her face looking the way it did."Some people hurt others and don't even bother to apologize. She's still clinging to a spot that was never hers in the first place. Talk about having no shame. If it we

    Every year, our university held a scholarship awards ceremony. As the student leader, I was in charge of collecting the nominations from each class.One day, I left my laptop open and stepped away to use the toilet. When I came back, I noticed that the nomination form had been altered.I didn't make a fuss, though. I just quietly sent the file to the teacher in charge.The day before the financial aid was to be distributed, our advisor, Benjamin Clark, stormed into the classroom and shot me a furious glare.He was nothing like the man who had once tried to curry favor with me in my previous life.He slammed a stack of papers down in front of me. "Emma, look at what you've done! You really had the nerve to put your name down for the only scholarship spot in our class? We gave you that right to handle the nomination issue, not so you could use it for yourself!"The whole class erupted. After all, the scholarship was hotly contested every year. There were quite a few students from s
