This Life, I'm Stuck With My Rich Mom의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 9

Elsa's words gave me a chilling realization. She had been reborn too.I looked at the confident, almost triumphant look in her eyes, and something finally clicked."Get in the car, Ms. Enya."The Taylor family hadn't sent anyone else, only a driver.It had been the same in my previous life. When Richard Brooks, the director of the orphanage, told us to choose for ourselves, Elsa made her decision before I could.Everything had happened so suddenly.She had raised her chin and looked down at me with disdain. "I'm not going to live in poverty. Enya, you can bear that hardship for me."She eventually got what she wanted and joined a wealthy family, yet the smile on her face faded a little more with each passing day.Now, I was the one who stepped into the luxurious Lincoln limousine. As he drove, the driver briefed me on the rules I was expected to follow once we arrived at the Taylor residence. "Do you remember everything?" he asked, meeting my gaze through the rearview mirror.

As a reward, Mom gave me a card that allowed me to spend a whole day out as I pleased. It was the most relaxed and carefree day I had experienced since joining the Taylor family.The driver took me to the bustling city center, and I got out to explore on my own. I had only taken a few steps when I saw someone familiar. It was Elsa. She stood on the roadside under the blazing sun, handing out flyers.The Cullens were poor and could barely spare any money. It wasn't surprising that she had to work to earn her keep. After all, I had been in the same position in my previous life. During summer breaks, I had to work three jobs while keeping up with my studies. On top of that, I had to help my adoptive parents with endless chores and odd jobs.They claimed to treat everyone equally, but in reality, they could never bear to let their son work. It wasn't until later that I discovered the truth. My adoptive parents hadn't taken me in because they cared for me. They were simply looking

"Well, I suppose that makes sense. With the Taylor family's influence, getting you placed here would have been effortless," Elsa said. She continued, "It's nothing like Flynn and me. We actually had to work ourselves to the bone to earn our spots. By the way, where is that useless son of the Taylor family? Knowing Mrs. Taylor, she must have arranged for him to enroll as well." I frowned. Before I could say anything, Flynn came over, scowling at me like always. "Elsa," he said, pulling her behind him. "I already said don't get involved with her.""Flynn, Enya isn't a bad person," Elsa muttered, putting on an innocent act.Flynn replied sternly, "How do you know she's not?"Classes kept us busy all day. I paid little attention to their playful banter and instead opened my management textbooks to study.When classes ended, Eric and I had agreed to meet at the school gate and go home together. He hadn't wanted to at first, but Mom insisted.He still looked hesitant after a few d

This was the first time I had defied his order. I wrapped my arms tightly around Eric's waist. "We leave together. I'm not leaving you behind.""What a touching sibling act," the muscular man said.As the applause echoed around us, his expression suddenly grew cold. "But this little show is over."Before I could react, he launched a kick toward us.I crashed to the ground, and Eric landed with me.They gradually closed in on us. The steel pipes dragged across the ground, sending out harsh, ringing clanks."Go on. Hit them hard. Whoever does the most damage gets a reward."The moment his words fell, they surged forward like beasts."Eric!" I screamed, instinctively wrapping myself around him.I told myself again and again that nothing could happen to him.A sharp crack tore through the air, followed by a gunshot. The iron rod slammed to the ground, but the pain I expected never arrived."Freeze. Hands where we can see them!"The police had arrived. They quickly surrounded Er

She shouted viciously, "You're my brother! You're supposed to take my side. Why are you siding with that wretch? Do you like her?"Flynn didn't answer.Elsa nodded as if she understood everything. "Fine. Just you wait!"She stormed out, and soon after, Eric and I were called to the principal's office.After a thorough investigation confirmed we hadn't cheated, Elsa was punished for spreading false rumors and causing chaos at school.She completely lost it. "You can't punish me! They're the ones who cheated! Are you blind? How could this happen…"Elsa was initially expelled for insulting the school authorities, but Mr. and Mrs. Cullen came with gifts and pleas, and the principal allowed her to stay.Still, her string of reckless actions had already become widely known. Gossip about her was everywhere, and even Flynn, who had always cared for her, started keeping his distance.As soon as Elsa realized this, she went into another frenzy. Flynn was drained from handling her antics.
