Replacing Me After My Exam Failure
That day, I told my grandmother firmly, "After the exam, I will change my family name to yours. It's not that she doesn't want me, but I am choosing to leave this toxic family behind forever."
I chose the name Evie Coffey, wanting to embrace peace and contentment rather than lofty ambitions.
On the day I returned to the country, my grandmother hesitated, considering whether to tell Renee. I flatly refused, "She abandoned me when I was at my lowest. Why should she get to share in my successes now? Vynucrown isn't huge. Maybe we'll run into each other someday."
I had thought that if she let go of her repulsive demeanor, we might bury the hatchet. But people wouldn't change.
