Chapter 1

The moment the orphanage director finished introducing the two prospective families, Sophia didn’t give anyone time to react.She rushed straight into Mrs. Miller’s arms.“Mom, take me home. I want to be your daughter.”Mrs. Miller froze for a few seconds before hugging her back, clearly overwhelmed.Mr. Miller smiled beside her.He worked maintenance at a school, while his wife was part of the cleaning staff. They had both dressed carefully for the occasion, but years of physical work still showed in the worn cuffs of their clothes and the roughness of their hands.Across the room, Mr. Blackwood wore a tailored suit, and Mrs. Blackwood looked immaculate from head to toe.Their only son, Adrian, stood by the window, looking completely uninterested in the adoption.In our first life, Sophia had chosen the Blackwoods without hesitation.This time, she clung to Mrs. Miller as if that modest life were everything she had ever wanted.The director looked surprised.“Sophia, are you sure?”“Y

Sophia hadn’t been wrong.Adrian’s hostility toward me started even earlier than it had in our first life.On my third day at the new school, several boys cornered me in the girls’ bathroom. One of them grabbed my hair and shoved my face into a sink full of freezing water while the others laughed and cheered.By the time they finally yanked me back up, my chest hurt from holding my breath.I gripped the edge of the sink and coughed, water dripping from my hair and down my face.Adrian stood in front of me, looking down at me.“You wanted into the Blackwood family so badly. Now you’re in. Happy?”In our first life, he had once told me there was nothing he hated more than rich kids who used their family name to bully people.Now he was the one standing there while my face was shoved into a sink.The only difference was that, in our first life, he had decided I was someone worth protecting.This time, he had already decided I was a gold digger who had wormed her way into his family.Then

Over the next few weeks, Adrian didn’t stop targeting me.My lunch was thrown in the trash. Dead spiders appeared in my locker. Someone burned holes into a new dress with a cigarette.Once, I looked up and saw Adrian leaning against the wall at the end of the hallway.He mouthed two words at me.“You deserve it.”He was probably waiting for me to cry.Or run home and complain to Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood.I did neither.I threw away whatever had been ruined and went back to class.Eventually, that seemed to irritate him even more.“How long are you planning to keep pretending?”“Pretending what?”He didn’t answer.Adrian had grown up surrounded by people who wanted something from the Blackwoods, so nothing disgusted him more than someone getting close to his family for money or status.In our first life, one of the reasons he had liked me was that I had never asked him for anything.Sophia remembered that too.After being given a second life, I finally understood that the most valuable th

Emma set the documents on the table.“These are the dance team’s rehearsal records from the past two months.”As class president, she had been responsible for tracking attendance.Out of more than thirty rehearsals, Sophia had shown up twice.Emma looked at her.“You said she cut you from the performance because you couldn’t afford the costume. But you barely came to rehearsal.”Sophia answered immediately.“Sometimes I forgot to sign in.”The dance instructor pulled out her own attendance sheet.“She didn’t forget. My records show the same thing. Sophia missed rehearsals from the beginning, and she didn’t attend any of the final run-throughs. I warned her that if she kept missing practice, she would lose her place.”The reporter compared the two records.“So she was removed because of her attendance, not because of her family’s financial situation?”“Of course. She didn’t even know the full routine. There was no way she could perform.”Sophia bit her lip.“But she still said those thi

Chapter 5

I had paid for every costume on the dance team.Including Sophia’s.Emma slid the purchase record toward the reporter.“I couldn’t afford the costume either. I was planning to drop out, but when she found out, she paid for the entire team. She never even asked who could afford it and who couldn’t.”The reporter checked the record, then looked back at Sophia.“So not only did she not remove you because you couldn’t afford the costume, she had already paid for yours?”Sophia answered immediately.“She wouldn’t bully someone in front of everyone. She targets me because we came from the same orphanage.”“But you were removed because you repeatedly missed rehearsal,” Emma said. “The teacher, the attendance records, and the video all prove that.”Sophia fell silent.Adrian finally asked,“Why didn’t you tell me any of this?”“I just thought that if she really wasn’t targeting me, she could have given me another chance.”I looked at her.“You were the one who didn’t show up. Why should everyo

The day I went back to school to pick up my graduation documents, I ran into Sophia in the hallway.She was standing beside the lockers, her phone still open to the Blackwood family interview.In the video, Mrs. Blackwood had an arm around my shoulders while Mr. Blackwood sat beside me answering questions from the host.They asked how the Blackwoods had raised a daughter who graduated first in her class and got into Wharton.Mr. Blackwood spent ten minutes talking about education.Mrs. Blackwood even smiled and said,“We always wanted her to have enough freedom to pursue what she truly wanted.”If I didn’t know they barely bothered to ask about my grades, I might have believed them too.At the end of the interview, the three of us took a picture together outside the school.We looked like the perfect family.Sophia stared at me for a long time.“What did you do?”“What?”“Why are they suddenly treating you like this?”Her voice was low, but the anger was impossible to hide.In our firs

Adrian did calm down after that.Not because he had suddenly become a better person.The school’s investigation into the bullying was still ongoing.The boys who used to follow him everywhere began keeping their distance, and for the first time, Mr. Blackwood gave Adrian a serious warning.If he caused another scandal that damaged the Blackwood name, his credit cards would be cut off and his plans to study abroad would be canceled.Meanwhile, Sophia’s life was getting worse.The image she had worked so hard to maintain was starting to crack.She had always told Adrian that she didn’t need anyone, that no matter how difficult life became, she could handle it on her own.But once graduation results came out, she had no scholarship and no offer from the schools she wanted.The tutoring sessions she had skipped, the competitions she had ignored, the recommendations she had thrown away—none of them could be recovered now.For the first time, she panicked.Adrian was planning to attend coll

After I left the hospital, I stopped asking about Sophia and Adrian.When Emma came to pick me up, she cared about exactly one thing.“Can you still make the investor meeting next week?”I stared at her.“You couldn’t ask about my leg first?”“The doctor said nothing is broken. Two weeks to recover.”“You’re heartless.”“Thank you.”I laughed.This was what I actually needed.Not someone who tried to decide my life for me.Not someone who kept promising to protect me.Someone who understood where I wanted to go and was willing to walk there with me.Our company became profitable in its third year.By the fifth, we were preparing to go public.During those years, I completely separated myself financially from the Blackwoods.I didn’t try to repay every dollar they had spent on my education. They were my adoptive parents. Supporting me had been their responsibility.But every investment Blackwood Capital had made in our company, every business resource I had used, every dollar tied to an
