Lily walked into the cafe with an expressionless face, unbothered by the many eyes and the gossipy voices that followed her around the campus.

The news about her having a fallout with Merissa because Merissa took her spot in the competition had spread like wildfire and in an environment where being from a humble background was a crime of its own, she was pointed at and blamed for being petty.

"Tch, what is so special about her? Just a little more talented than others and she feels like the world revolves around her."

"If not for Merissa's parents would she even be here in the first place? Wouldn't the spot belong to Merissa? Such an ingrate!"

"I tell you! Paupers have an entitlement mentality! Let's see how she survives in the school now that she has fallen out with her main backer."

"Did you forget, her boyfriend Zach?"

"What about Zach? Only a blind person like her would not see that he has been using her all along! She's pathetic I tell you!"

  • The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress    Chapter 21: Let's Break Up

    {Now that he is here we can do a direct comparison. Your little boyfriend looks and feels nothing compared to the young master Mark. Look at his elegance and noble appearance, compared to the sloppy appearance of a boy who hasn't seen the world. It's a minus 10 out of 10.}Lily's lips turned up in amusement as she heard the system compare the two males to one another. She had involuntarily done it the first time but seeing how the system is she noticed the ambiguity in her action and her face flushed in embarrassment. Zach who had been looking at her got angry thinking she was blushing because she admired the other man like the rest of the girls trying to get his attention. A sneer appeared on his face and he gave her a condescending look."Mr Watson will never go for someone like you, so don't get your hopes up for nothing. You are way out of his league, you won't even be worthy to clean his shoes," he ridiculed, his voice filled with malice and mockery. As the system heard his wor

    Lily looked up to see it was her roommate, Jasmine who had made the snarky remark."If you have a better solution why don't you bring it out instead of delaying someone who does?" She snapped with a glare startling Jasmine and her entourage."You!" Jasmine yelled but after getting a glare from the girl she kept quiet and turned to Mark. "Young Master Mark, it would be better if you find someone else to help you! This girl is too poor to have anything that can help, I bet whatever she is applying will only cause more damage," Jasmine explained, her voice gentle and pretentious. With an eye roll, Lily turned back to Mark to make sure he was still cool with her using the serum. Mark ignored Jasmine's words and gave Lily a piercing stare, "Use it," he ordered and Lily immediately got to work, her hands trembling from the fear of the unknown. What if this serum from an unknown origin adds to the problem? What will I do? Will I have to die again without getting my revenge? She thought

    The officers searched the room, their eyes scanning every nook and cranny, leaving no stone unturned. They moved quickly but methodically, their movements practised and were efficient. Nothing was overlooked, nothing left to chance.One of them wanted to prove Lily's innocence, having been from a humble background herself and the other just wanted to get the work over with so she could go back to watching the movie she had been seeing.Priscilla's side of the room was the last place to be searched and while everyone had different emotions showing all over their faces, Lily remained calm as she stood by the window with an expressionless face. "Found it," the first officer announced as he brought out the stolen items from Pricilla's wardrobe. Horrified gasps filled the air as all eyes turned to face the pale-looking Pricilla who instantly began to shake her head in denial."Who's side of the room is this?" the second officer asked and Lily pointed to Pricilla which earned her a glare

    Lily slept through her alarm the following day, after the exciting night with the officers and her scheming roommates. She had gone to sleep exhausted but with a triumphant smile on her face after making the three bow to her. She stretched and noticed that her limbs had somehow become sore as if she had been running all night.Her throat felt dry and hoarse, she frowned and took a sip of water to moisturise her throat before trying but failing to get up from the bed. With pursed lips, she placed her fingers on her wrist to check if her pulse was weak but she found out they were stronger than they had ever been, which could only mean she was healthy.'But why am I sore all over?' she mused with a frown and got out of bed after much struggle. She prepared a warm bath to soak in and ease her sore muscles, letting out a sigh of relief as the warm water engulfed her body, she relaxed and closed her eyes.As she remembered the event from the previous night, a smile bloomed on her face and

    "Boss, everything for the new device is ready and the sales team are ready for work, the stores are already stocked and waiting for your go-ahead," Ted reported through the computer screen, his eyes had heavy eye bag, showing his days of long sleepless nights for the project to be completed in time. Mark hummed in reply as he read the data report that had just been sent."Tell them to begin the sales tomorrow morning and the first fifty copies should be sold at a fifty percent discount," he instructed. "Have the media team also post on the official website that fifty copies can be custom-made while the others will be sold at the same prices and model," he added and Ted documented his instruction, not trusting himself enough to remember them afterwards."Then the fifty that will be custom made can also be sold at the discounted price? Wouldn't that be a loss to the company?" He asked with a frown. Mark placed his phone on the table and picked up the glass of red wine. "No, the cust

    "Have you seen Alpha's new phones and computers? It's so beautiful and well-made! My brother, who is into technology, could not stop praising it to the sky! I was forced to get the custom-made ones too, and they will be delivered tomorrow." Jasmine giggled as she talked with Lydia and Priscilla. Her eyes were shining with excitement and pride. "Oh, I've heard of it! It's such a great product! I have also ordered it, but I can only afford it at a normal model rate; forget about custom-made; my father was reluctant to get me a normal model!" Priscilla joined with eyes full of admiration.Lydia bit her tongue, unable to join in the conversation. The new Alpha Tech phone and computer called 'Waves' has always been popular since the announcement of production. Everything about the devices was attractive and tempting; even laymen would appreciate them due to their enhanced basic functions and high resolution.Lydia, who had always wanted to keep up appearances with the rich kids around he

    "Wait, isn't that Celina Williams? What is she doing in year two design class?" "Maybe she's here to scout for young designers for her family's company?""Even if she is, year two designers are still amateurs, and they don't have any immediate value. Besides, she is the young miss; why would she personally do such a thing?"The students gossiped as they passed beside the beautiful fairy-like lady standing outside the second-year design class. "Is it me, or does she look more beautiful than the last time?""It's not just you; I felt the same, but I thought I was blinded by the halo of her being my idol. She truly does look more beautiful than her runway show last month.""Do you think her beauty improvement is due to the new cosmetic product her family produced?""If it's not that, then what would it be? Do you think the training and the products provided by the school are enough?"As they gossiped, Celina continued looking at the entrance of the studio with anticipation in her eyes.

    Following the acquisition of the studio building, Lily and Alana got busy with setting up the place in a week in preparation for the registration of their company. "You've not had anything since morning, you should eat something," Alana pressed as she brought out two bowls of instant noodles for the two of them. Lily glanced at the meal and scrunched up her nose, not liking the look and presentation. Since she had woken up as Lily, one of the things Victoria could not get used to about the previous owner was the diet.Not only had she been fed the best food since she was a kid, Victoria had a sensitive tongue and it wasn't easy to please her with food, which was why she learnt to cook early. Alana noticed her subconscious reaction and thought nothing of it."Sorry if you aren't fond of instant noodles, I wanted to cook but I was afraid I would burn down the building," she explained with flushed cheeks. Due to her excellent needlework, she had never been allowed to do anything that

"I never really figured out how my mum was able to know I would be reborn." "I had hoped that gathering all her work in one place would provide me some answer. I thought she would leave an explanation behind," she said while swirling the wine in her hand. "With everything she left behind, she was sure I would be reborn as Lily Turner. Yet, I can't figure out how she know and how she did it." {...} The system remained silent as it listened to Lily's rant. "There has to be something I'm missing right? She's never one to leave me this confused and lost about anything," she continued. "I mean, since you are involved in this you should know better right?" {That was your goal from the beginning wasn't it?} The system asked with a knowing sigh. {You want to know how I came to be?}"Yes." {I already told you when we first met.

    Lily sat at the dessert store, her fingers lightly drumming against the table as she stared out of the window. The bustling streets outside felt distant, a blur compared to the storm in her chest. The message from Mark replayed in her mind."Can we meet up?""I'm an idiot, I know, but we really need to talk."She had almost ignored it. Almost.She wanted to make him desperate, but somehow, she found herself picking the most sexy dress in her closet and dressing up to meet up with him.The sound of a chair scraping across the floor snapped her out of her thoughts. Mark stood there, hesitating, his usual confident demeanour replaced by uncertainty.“Hey,” he said softly.Lily didn’t respond immediately, her gaze steady and unreadable. “You’re late,” she said finally, her tone flat.“I know,” Mark admitted as he sat down. “Thank you for coming.”She crossed her arms, leaning back slightly. “What do you want, Mark?”"You didn't tell me anything; I found out through the news, and then you

    "We received a tip from an anonymous sender," the news anchor announced. "Evidence of crimes committed by a certain family whose name has recently been on the internet where a certain banquet video was uploaded." "This evidence includes the cause of both Mabel and Victoria Hamilton's untimely deaths. As well as many other criminal cases that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the prestigious family." "At the same time, we got news that the leadership position of the corporation owned by this family has changed hands. For now, this particular news has not been confirmed." The following morning, chaos erupted. News outlets were flooded with breaking stories about Henry and Kate’s crimes. Social media exploded with outrage as videos and documents went viral.

    "It's turned on," Lily reported to Bryan over the phone as the other asked about the computer that was delivered to him. "And I've confirmed that it really was the one that has been sending those messages to Hamilton.""It's connected to that AI-powered robot in the vault." She continued. "And to top it off, all evidence of Henry's misdeeds was recorded in it. Including notes written by my mother." "Are they enough to send Henry out?" Bryan asked "Yes, and his wife too." Lily replied. "There are several videos of Kate poisoning my mother while she was still pretending to be a housekeeper. And also a clear video from my last moment as Victoria." Bryan's voice grew tense. "Lily, if we release this information, it won't just end Henry and Kate's hold on the Hamilton family. It could ruin Hamilton completely.""It won't," Lily breathed out. "At first I just wanted to ruin everything and get it over with, but now I want to cherish my mother's hard work and the legacy she left behind."

    "Is that Mark's private car?" Lily asked with a frown as she watched the video gotten from the camera close to the factory address sent to her.{The plate number index matches that of Mark's private car. However, this video was made about three weeks ago.}Frowning, Lily replayed the video again. It was a car driving on a highway in the middle of the night. Seeing the date, she recalled she had a date with Mark that night and after he had hurried off. All through their time together, it was even more restless than usual. "Is this all you found?" {There is a similar video of him returning back to the city. But he hasn't gone back to the factory after that.}She jumped off her chair, got changed into a comfortable sweatshirt and pants, and a black sneaker. She picked a small hiking backpack from the closet and her wallet as she exited her apartment.{You are going to the factory?}"Yes," Lily replied calmly. "I at least need to figure out why they sent the note even if I don't know w

    "Can you arrange a meeting with Annabelle Wilson?" As she sent the message, Bryan replied almost immediately. Lily glanced at Bryan's text and smirked. "De Ox tonight, between 8 PM and 9 PM. Perfect."She quickly tapped out a reply: Thanks. It's such perfect timing.Bryan: Need help?Lily: I'll be fine on my own. With her plan in motion, Lily pulled up the files containing Henry's promiscuity, one she had meticulously prepared for Henry’s misdeeds. Photos, text messages, and financial transactions—everything she needed to plant the seed of doubt in Annabelle’s mind was compiled neatly in a folder.At exactly 8:15, Lily walked into the dimly lit lounge, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. She gave off an air of confidence, dressed in a sleek black dress that hinted at authority and poise. Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on Annabelle Wilson—a striking woman in her early forties, elegantly dressed in a champagne-coloured gown.Annabelle looked up as Lily a

    "I think now is the perfect time to get the computer," Lily announced over the phone. "Given the news about his wife's scandal, Henry and William will be too busy to guard the company like a guard dog." "You want me to send people in there pretending to be electricians to retrieve the computer?" Bryan asked, and Lily hummed. "It will be a bit difficult for me to retrieve it at the moment." Lily replied. "Heard you've not been out of your apartment since the announcement. That's a week ago; that's unhealthy." Bryan sighed. "I'll come pick you up later today, and then we can discuss whatever your plans are." "There won't be a need for that," Lily gritted out as she worked away on her laptop. "I can't afford to be distracted right now.""Is this about Mark's engagement to Roseline?" Bryan asked, making Lily pause as her eyes narrowed at the screen of her laptop. "This has nothing to do with Mark or his engagement." She breathed out, massaging her forehead as she felt her eyes stingi

    Lily walked into the living room with an extra sway in her hips as she remembered the event from the previous night. A small smile played on her lips, feeling giddy and excited about the news from the previous night's banquet. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV while waiting for the news with a warm cup of tea in hand. However, instead of the scandal she was expecting, she was met with Mark and Roseline's red carpet photos. Frowning, she turned up the volume just in time for the reporter to announce:"Next on the line of news is Mark Watson, the newly appointed CEO of the Watson Group. The genius businessman has finally announced his engagement with Roseline Anderson, the popular A-list actress."Lily’s smile froze, the warmth from her tea doing little to quell the chill that spread through her chest. Her hand tightened around the cup as she stared at the screen, unable to believe what she was hearing.“Engaged?” She whispered, her voice shaky. “That’s not possible.”The
