All Chapters of Reborn on Application Day: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After the poison killed me in that private dining room, my boyfriend, Ethan Brooks, still wasn’t done.He searched my body, found my phone, and called my parents.The moment they heard something had happened to me, they rushed to the restaurant without hesitation.When they saw me collapsed on the floor, blood seeping from my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, they broke down. My mother could barely stand. My father’s face went white as he reached for me with trembling hands.Ethan and the others helped them into their seats.“Mr. and Mrs. Grant, please try to calm down. The ambulance is already on its way. Drink some water first.”My parents had no reason to suspect them. They took the water and drank it.A few seconds later, pain tore through their chests. Then they both coughed up blood.That was when those people finally stopped pretending.“Your precious daughter was poisoned by us too. She killed Lissy, so she deserves to pay for it.“You two can go with her. If you want someone to bla

When my parents saw me crying, they immediately asked what had happened.I glanced at the staff in the house and wiped my tears.“Let’s talk in the study.”Once we were alone, I told them everything that had happened at school that day.When they heard Lisa’s name, my parents froze for a few seconds.“Lisa Hale?” my mother said first. “Isn’t Hale the last name of one of our drivers?”Among our household staff, only one person had that surname.My father’s driver.That was right.Lisa was not the billionaire’s daughter at all. Her father was only one of my father’s drivers.My father had several drivers, and Lisa’s father was the newest hire. He had never met me.Not long after he started working for us, he told my father that his daughter wanted to transfer schools.My father thought he seemed hardworking and reliable, so he helped arrange Lisa’s transfer into my school.None of us expected that act of kindness to turn into this.“That bastard,” my father said, his face darkening. “I’l

For a moment, the hallway was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.Everyone froze.A few seconds later, someone finally spoke.“That’s impossible. Miss, did you make a mistake? Lissy promised us. She said she would get all of us into schools like Harvard or Yale.”“Exactly. You probably don’t understand how powerful Lissy’s family is. Her dad is a billionaire.”Our guidance counselor’s face flushed with anger.“I reminded you again and again to submit your own applications. I told you to add backup schools, check your portals, and meet every deadline. Did all of you ignore every word I said?”By now, they had already graduated. Although they still called her Miss out of habit, none of them seemed to respect her authority anymore.“Miss, you’re just a counselor. You don’t understand how things work at that level. One phone call from Lissy’s dad can fix this. Maybe our offers just haven’t appeared in the system yet. We can wait a little longer.”“Only people without connections have

One student pulled out his phone and searched the license plate.The number was easy to find because of its repeating digits.“It really is the billionaire’s car,” he said. “The plate matches. Olivia, stop embarrassing yourself.”Now they were fully convinced that Mr. Hale was the man Lisa claimed he was.They crowded around him, all talking at once, begging him to fix their college situation.Mr. Hale raised a hand as if he were used to being treated like someone important.“Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll make the necessary calls. I can’t promise Harvard or Yale for everyone, but I’ll make sure none of you are left with nothing.”At that moment, Ethan looked at Lisa and Mr. Hale with gratitude in his eyes.Even then, he did not forget to turn on me.“Sir, this is all Olivia’s fault. If she hadn’t secretly submitted her own applications and kept quiet about it, none of us would be in this position.”He glared at me.“Someone this selfish doesn’t deserve to go to a school like that at all

On the screen was a livestream.Inside the classroom, my classmates had set the curtains on fire and were threatening to burn the room down with themselves inside.“We just want another chance,” someone sobbed into the camera. “We want to go to college. Please.”“If I can’t go to college, I might as well die.”“Please, give us another chance. We know we were wrong.”The situation spread online almost instantly.Within minutes, thousands of viewers had flooded into the stream.The comments pieced the story together quickly.Most people were still clearheaded.How could anyone miss every major application deadline and then blame other people? If they had not cared about their own futures, who else was supposed to care for them?But then they said something that made my blood run cold.“We only did this because we believed Olivia, the billionaire’s daughter in our class. She said her dad had connections and could get us into schools like Harvard or Yale. That’s why we didn’t apply anywher
