All Chapters of Reborn Before the SAT Scandal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"This kid is unbelievable! He's hurt himself and still won't stop trying to save her!""Look at the uniform. I bet he's taking the SAT, too! If he misses the exam, what's he supposed to do?"I followed the direction everyone was pointing and saw my stepbrother, Terence Norman, thrashing through the water.A short distance away from him was Kendall Lawson, the Lawsons' heiress who couldn't swim.As he fought his way toward her, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hang on! I've got you! I'm not letting go!"Watching the scene unfold, I pressed a hand against my stomach.The memory of the knife sinking into me still felt horrifyingly real.If I hadn't overheard Terence's conversation in my previous life, I probably would've fallen for this act too and believed he was some selfless student sacrificing his SAT to save someone.A few minutes later, Terence dragged the barely conscious Kendall onto the riverbank.Kendall had a severe fear of water and had already passed out. She had

The moment Dad said that, I grabbed my books and headed straight back to school without hesitation.At least now, I wouldn't have to waste time figuring out how to cut ties with them myself.As soon as I reached the school gates, I saw Hugh Lawson, Kendall's father.Rumor had it that Kendall's mother passed away years ago, and Hugh never remarried after that. The Lawsons doted on Kendall like she was the center of their world.Now that he was here, he was probably investigating what had happened on the bridge.I watched my homeroom teacher smile nervously at Hugh. "The student who saved Kendall is from another class. His name's Terence. I'll bring him to you right away."But Hugh answered coldly, "No need. I'm not here for him."Then he lifted his eyes, sharp enough to cut through steel."I want every surveillance recording from this school for the past month," he said slowly. "And if I find out someone deliberately caused my daughter to fall off that bridge… I won't let him wa

The second Terence said that, the entire room turned on me again.I honestly hadn't expected things to spiral like this. I took a deep breath and looked at Hugh."Yes, I sent those videos, but I never once claimed I was the one who saved her. I only posted what I saw. Besides, the principal already said I earned my acceptance letters by becoming the state SAT champion. It isn't because anyone pulled strings for me."However, Terence suddenly seemed to realize something. He grabbed me and yanked me off the stage, then tore my acceptance letters to pieces."I get it now! You were scared Kendall's grades were better than yours, so you wanted to get rid of your competition for valedictorian. That's why you set her up and made her fall off the bridge. What a perfect plan! You take out your biggest rival and keep me from taking the SAT at the same time."He let out a cold laugh and puffed himself up like some righteous hero."I could overlook everything else you've done before, but thi

The moment Terence realized what was happening, he shrieked and lunged for the tablet.Before his hand could touch it, Hugh kicked him hard to the ground."You trash! How dare you hurt my daughter!"I've already checked your parents' phones. Your chat history says it all. You planned this whole stunt to create some heroic SAT rescue story so you could lock down college admission."What else do you have to say for yourself?"Everyone in the auditorium stood frozen in shock.Then, the crowd exploded."So you staged the whole thing?""My God, I almost believed you! Good thing the Lawsons investigated everything, or who knows how many people you would've fooled!""And you actually tried to frame your brother? You're unbelievable!"The shouting grew louder and louder until Terence collapsed onto the floor, trembling.A moment later, police officers arrived and nodded respectfully at Hugh. They slapped handcuffs onto all three of them."You're under investigation for suspected as

When Dad saw Grandma hurt, not only did he show zero concern, but he actually sounded pleased."Maybe this is for the best. You're getting old anyway. Time for you to move into a nursing home and take it easy. Leave the family compound to us. We'll come visit you every day."I clenched my fists tightly, barely holding back the urge to smash those smug looks off their faces.By then, the neighbors had already heard the shouting and rushed outside.The moment they saw Grandma on the ground, they immediately shielded her behind them."You people are disgusting! Picking on an old woman?""We're calling the police!"Terence only laughed dismissively. "Call whoever you want. The cops already couldn't do anything to me before."Right then, a black sedan screeched to a stop outside the gate.Hugh stepped out with Kendall beside him. His expression looked terrifyingly dark."Who said no one can do anything to you?"He pulled a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and threw the
