Semua Bab Rebirth: Giving Them My Blessings: Bab 1 - Bab 9

In my past life, after I got together with Joseph, I would wake up at the crack of dawn every day to study to prepare for the follow-up exam. Joseph had told me that he would help me register for it, but he had broken his promise. He explained that it was because the higher-ups were extremely strict and didn't allow me to take the exam.I had trusted him.I had then expressed my desire to take the exam next year. He had told me that there was no use in my taking the exam, but I had insisted. On the day of the exam, my alarm didn't go off. I had asked Joseph if he was responsible for switching it off, but he had looked at me innocently, claiming that he had only done so because he was worried that I wouldn't get the rest I needed.My entire body had shaken with anger. Joseph hugged me and said, "Lucy, let's get married. I don't care if you pass or fail the exam. I'll always love you."I had cried for a long time as I leaned against him. The exam questions had even starred in my dr

Madison appeared to have lost her mind as she lunged at me. However, she was stopped in her tracks by Joseph, who blocked her way."Calm down, Madison. Just endure it for the time being."Madison slowly regained her composure upon hearing Joseph's words. She glared at me and exclaimed, "Just you wait, Lucy! I'll pay you back for everything you've done one day."I sat down and began eating, unfazed by everyone staring at me. When I asked Joseph to peel my shrimp for me, he obediently did as he was told.Madison couldn't stomach the sight any longer and excused herself to use the restroom. A few moments later, Joseph also left."Study Ace, how did you manage to get the campus king to fall so madly in love with you?"I lifted my gaze and said, "He'll cling to you too, if you have good academic scores."The person laughed awkwardly, making it clear that he didn't believe me. Sometimes, I wondered—if Madison and I had been men, would Joseph still have been willing to sacrifice himsel

Madison and Joseph stepped out of the house. When Joseph's gaze landed on me, he turned visibly panicked.I raised my voice and yelled, "Madison! Where is your university acceptance letter?"After noticing that there were police officers with me, Madison began to realize that something was amiss. "My acceptance letter? I haven't received it yet.""That's impossible," I declared while glaring at her.The female officer patted my back to comfort me. "Don't worry, Lucy. We'll get to the bottom of this."Frank stood up to his full height. "Lucy, you must have evidence if you suspect me of stealing your university spot."I rubbed the tears from my eyes and said, "The acceptance letter is the evidence."After all, the acceptance letter would have my ID number on it. I had traveled back 20 years. The student information website didn't exist yet. If it did, Frank wouldn't have been able to exchange my information for Madison's on the application form.Madison's complexion turned pallid

The Gunther family's reputation was in shambles after the media reports were released. They received a verbal lashing from the public every day. The internet had been invented by then, so they were constantly subjected to an endless stream of criticisms.Frank's and Madison's sentences had not been decided yet.As I watched everything unfold, I sighed in relief. I assumed that the dust would settle soon. What I did not expect was for Joseph to seek me out again.I had left the house to go grocery shopping when he blocked my path forward. He looked incredibly anxious. He kept his head lowered, continuing to block me without saying a single word.I clutched my pocket knife as I warily asked him, "What the hell do you want?"He raised his head to look at me. He had a complicated emotion swirling in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse when he called out my name.I didn't say a single word in response. I wondered if he was going to beg me to empathize with Frank and Madison again."Yo
