Chapter 1

When I was shoved off a high-rise building, Jeffrey Price's smug voice rang in my ears. "Finley, I knew I wasn't getting into a good college, so I was late on purpose. If you end up 'killing yourself' out of guilt, I can play the victim and gain even more followers."Suddenly, cold rain slapped against my skin and snapped me out of the blur.When I opened my eyes again, I was standing on the school sports ground.I looked at my girlfriend, Heidi Moore, who was arguing with the driver assigned to take us to the exam venue, and a surge of emotion hit me.The next second, Heidi turned on me in anger. "Finley Lowell, you're so selfish! Jeff isn't here yet. What's wrong with waiting two more minutes?"All the students around us glared at me too."Yeah, Jeff's our classmate. How can we just leave him behind?""We're not getting on that bus until he shows up!"Their hostile stares made something ache in my chest.In my last life, I was afraid we'd miss the exam if we kept waiting, so

Chapter 2

In my last life, I was the one who noticed the road ahead was already flooding badly, and I begged everyone to leave on time.Even then, we still came dangerously close to missing the exam.Now, without my warning, they left a full five minutes late.If they still wanted to make it to the exam on time, it would take nothing short of a miracle.On the bus, Jeffrey looked at me with an apologetic smile and handed me a lollipop. "Finley, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. I just thought everyone would be nervous before the exam, so I went ahead and bought these for everyone."Before I could respond, Heidi snatched the lollipop away. She wrapped her arms around Jeffrey and comforted him. "Jeff, you didn't do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing? Someone as selfish as him doesn't even deserve this."The others quickly chimed in as well."Yeah, Jeff. Don't blame yourself. We chose to stay and wait for you.""It's just a few minutes. It's no big deal. You always think about us. W

As expected, Jeffrey's so-called shortcut didn't help at all.Inside the bus, the earlier noise was gone, replaced by unease on every face.With every tick of the digital clock, their expressions turned a shade paler."Are we really going to miss it?" the class secretary, Kole Steele, asked the driver in despair.He only got a mocking laugh in return.If they hadn't wasted 15 minutes insisting on waiting, none of this would have happened.By the time the bus reached the exam venue, the entrance had already been locked down. No more candidates were allowed in.Heidi stepped off the bus, her face drained of color. She stared at the barricade in disbelief. "How is this happening?"Kole tried to rush past the line, but the police stopped him. "The SAT has already started. No one is allowed in."More students got off the bus, their legs barely holding them up.Just like Heidi had said, this exam could change everything with a single point difference. And they had just missed it en

I couldn't help but feel how absurd it all was.Heidi had actually come up with something this ridiculous just to defend Jeffrey."It wasn't me."I tried to explain, but Jeffrey grabbed my hair and yanked me toward the bus.Mr. Wright stepped in to stop him, but Heidi shouted with bloodshot eyes, "I saw it myself! He texted his mom. He's the one who ruined everything for our entire class. Are you seriously going to protect someone like this, Mr. Wright?"The others silently surrounded me while coldly watching Mr. Wright and the teachers. They were showing their stance through their actions.Jeffrey looked at me with feigned anguish and said, "Finley, I know you don't like me. But even if you wanted revenge, you shouldn't drag everyone else down with you."Heidi's expression turned sharp as she helped Jeffrey press me toward the side of the bus.With a loud bang, my head slammed hard against the metal frame. Blood immediately ran down my skin.But I still heard Heidi's furious

After a moment of silence, the classmates' eyes shifted back toward Jeffrey, their expressions changing instantly.A flicker of panic crossed Jeffrey's face, but he quickly forced out a pitiful tone. "Don't listen to her nonsense! She's Finley's mom. Of course the footage is fake. She's just covering for Finley!"The tension on the classmates' faces eased slightly.Jeffrey seized the moment and turned to Heidi. "Heidi, you know me. How could I ever do something like that?"Heidi nodded immediately. "Jeff is a kind guy. He even skips lunch sometimes just to feed the stray cats at school. There's no way he would hurt anyone."The others quickly chimed in as well, praising Jeffrey like he was some kind of saint.I let out a sneer, watching him put on his performance.The reason he dared to go live and play the victim at this moment was simple. He believed every single classmate would stand on his side.With so many witnesses backing him up, anything Mom and I said would just be tw

On the big screen, the first video that played showed everyone waiting for the bus in the rain.The only difference from Jeffrey's photo was that this time, I was also standing in the rain."I checked the roads leading to the exam venue. There's already heavy flooding. We need to leave immediately, or we'll get stuck. Jeffrey hasn't arrived yet, but it's fine. I've already contacted volunteers. Someone will take him directly to the exam venue. He won't miss the exam."The moment the video appeared, the livestream chat, which was full of insults aimed at Mom and me, went completely silent.After a few seconds, messages slowly began to appear again."Is this real? If it is, then we really misunderstood that student.""Yeah, he was clearly trying to help everyone. This actually seems like the best solution.""Were we all fooled by Jeffrey?"Seeing the chat flip instantly, Jeffrey panicked at once. He pointed at the screen and screamed, "It's fake! That's definitely edited by Finle

Chapter 7

Inside the video, Jeffrey was casually shopping in a convenience store.The owner looked at him with confusion. "You're a senior, right? The SAT is about to start. You've still got time to be shopping? Aren't you worried about missing it?"Jeffrey shrugged without a care. "So what if I miss it? I probably won't pass anyway. Worst case, I just don't take it."Under the owner's helpless gaze, he slowly picked out a pile of lollipops and walked out like he was on a casual stroll.Outside the store, where the surveillance camera still had a clear view, Jeffrey suddenly kicked a stray cat that had come over to take shelter from the rain.The camera couldn't clearly capture what happened next, but the cat's pained cry rang out unmistakably.At that moment, all color drained from Jeffrey's face.The truth had finally been laid bare.I looked coldly at my classmates. The same ones who had insisted on waiting for him were now staring at him in disbelief."Y-You delayed on purpose?"Je

Chapter 8

Jeffrey was taken away by the police for investigation.But before getting into the patrol car, he turned back to me with a sneer. "Maybe I didn't become some famous influencer, but you still missed the SAT too! So what if your family has money? This will stay on your record forever."Hearing that almost made me laugh.After failing to ruin me, this was the only thing he could use to comfort himself.But I wasn't the naive Finley Lowell from my last life anymore.Back then, Jeffrey destroyed my family and buried me under endless accusations.This time, simply stopping his scheme wasn't nearly enough to settle the score.So if there was anything that could make Jeffrey miserable, I would gladly do it.I smiled at him. "There's something I almost forgot to mention."Then I deliberately raised my voice so everyone around us could hear."Two months ago, I already received guaranteed admission to Bastion University. So whether I took the SAT or not didn't really matter."The mome

"The lollipop was sweet," Heidi said bitterly. "But it was bitter too. Bitter enough to ruin lives."I ignored the devastated students and left the exam venue with Mom.After we got home, I looked at her curiously. "Mom, why was Jeffrey so obsessed with targeting me? The way he talked at the end didn't seem like simple jealousy over money."That was the part I never understood.Mom handed me a file folder. After I read the documents inside, everything finally clicked into place."No wonder Jeffrey transferred into our class. He was coming after me from the beginning."Back then, I thought Jeffrey framed me because he liked Heidi and wanted to steal her away from me.I never imagined the real reason was his mother.Jeffrey's mother used to be the finance director of Lowell Corp. During her time there, she secretly embezzled millions of dollars from the company.When Mom discovered it, she immediately reported her to the police.Jeffrey's father divorced her almost overnight af
