 Chapter 1 A Terrible Mistake

    Chapter 1 A Terrible Mistake


    Chapter 1 A Terrible Mistake


    "Xander Davis, do you take Linda Smith as yourwfully wedded wife, to love her unreservedly


    through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, and


    to remain faithful to her until death do you part?"


    Xander gazed deeply into the beautiful woman in front of him and answered affectionately, "I do."


    Bang!


    Suddenly, the door to the banquet hall was rudely pushed open, making a jarring sound.


    The guests turned their heads to see a woman in a ck dress slowly walking in. She was thin, with


    a withered face and a hideous scar that ran from her left eyebrow to her right lip like a red


    centipede, making her delicate features ugly.


    After the initial shock, some of the guests recognized her.


    "Isn''t she the child that the Smith family brought back?"


    The person next to them was confused. "Was she adopted?"


    "No, she''s John Smith''s biological daughter. She was switched with Linda when they were babies.


    Eight years ago, she was found and brought back. There was even a family reunion banquet back


    then, and she used to be seen at various banquets. But in recent years, she''s rarely seen in public. I


    didn''t expect her to be like this."


    "How could John''s own daughter end up like this?"


    "You know what? Roslin Smith caused so much trouble in the Smith family after she was brought


    back. Rumor has it that she even angered Old Mr. Smith to his death. Do you see the scar on her


    face? It''s said that she got into a fight with a group of thugs and was cut by them."


    "Roslin lived in a slum for 18 years. She hung out with a bunch of ruffians andter became one of


    them. Even after she went back to the Smith family, she couldn''t get rid of the smell of poverty and


    vulgarity on her. She fought and caused trouble, and even tried to seduce Linda''s fiance."


    "Once someone is corrupted by bad examples, her nature changes. You can''t change her no matter


    what you do."


    "What is she doing here today? Is she trying to take away her elder sister''s fiance?"


    "Two sisters fight over the same man. The Smith family''s reputation will be ruined."


    "Look at her. I believe every man would choose Linda."


    The guests were whispering to each other, and even those who didn''t know about Roslin''s identity


    got to know who she was after hearing that.


    Facing everyone''s sarcastic, disdainful, and disgusted eyes, Roslin remained calm. She looked at


    the newlyweds in front of her and slowly walked to the front step by step.


    Looking at Roslin who suddenly barged in, the emcee had wanted to say something to ease the


    tension but was intimidated by her cold, sharp gaze.


    Members of the Smith family and the Davis family sitting in the front seats looked unhappy and


    angry, especially John and his wife.


    John stood up, suppressed his anger, and ordered, "Roslin, today is your sister''s big day. Come and


    sit down quickly."


    His eyes were indifferent and stern, and his tone was forbidding.


    Roslin didn''t even look at him and continued walking forward.


    John''s face turned livid when he saw that Roslin didn''t follow his order. "Roslin!"


    He emphasized her name heavily as if he were calling out the name of his enemy.


    Roslin turned around and looked at him with a smile. "My dear father, why are you so afraid of me


    standing here? Is it because my presence makes you embarrassed, or because I make you feel


    ashamed?"


    Seeing that Roslin had gone too far, Lucinda interrupted her in a hurry. "What nonsense are you


    talking about? If you have something to say, wait until your elder sister''s wedding is over."

    But Roslin burst outughing, shaking slightly withughter and tears in her eyes. "Nonsense? Ha-


    ha, there''s never been a clearer moment for me than now."


    She suddenly turned around, pointing at Linda, who was wearing a million-dor wedding dress and


    looking exquisite. "Sister? I, Roslin, don''t have such an elder sister. She''s a princess from heaven,


    and I''m just a piece of dirt on the ground. What right do I have to be her younger sister? She has


    noble blood flowing through her veins, while I have the lowest, dirtiest blood. Am I worthy to be her


    younger sister?"


    Her words insulted everyone in the Smith family. John and Lucinda could no longer remain their


    decent expressions.


    John roared, "Have you had enough? Hurry up ande down from there. Stop making a fool of


    yourself."


    "Father, aren''t you pretending to be a loving father anymore?" Roslin wasn''t afraid of his horrible


    eyes and looked at him with a smile.


    "Roslin, I warn you for thest time. Leave right now and apologize to your sister, brother-inw,


    and all the guests." Johnmanded sternly with the authority of the head of the Smith family.


    Roslin nodded, her voice calm. "You''re right. I should apologize."


    John felt a little relieved hearing this, but his anger still could not be quenched. What Roslin did here


    brought shame to the Smith family in H City.


    When they got home, he would definitely teach Roslin a lesson.


    John was thinking very optimistically, but the next moment, he heard words that made him


    extremely angry.


    Roslin faced all the guests, ignoring their contemptuous and disdainful nces toward her, and said


    in a cheerful tone, "I want to apologize to my dear sister here. I''m sorry foring to this family and


    causing you distress, pain, and humiliation."


    "I also want to apologize to my dear father and mother. I''m sorry for overestimating myself and


    thinking that if I did everything perfectly, you would show me the same loving smile as you do Linda,


    and give me a warm embrace or even just a word of encouragement."


    "But I was wrong."


    "No matter how well I do, how well I score, it can''tpare to a single tear shed by Linda."


    "She simply had to say that someone mocked her and that I was better than her to get you to


    command me not to outperform her."


    "As long as she wants something of mine, you want me to give it to her respectfully. As long as she


    sheds a tear, it must be my fault. She is sad and embarrassed because of my existence."


    "Since you don''t like me so much and don''t want to see me, why did you bring me back? Why?"


    She was clearlyughing as she spoke, but tears blurred her eyes.


    She was clearlyughing, but no one in the room could feel the joy. Her sadughter felt like a drum


    beating in the hearts of every guest present.

    Chapter 2 Am I Really Your Child?


    Chapter 2 Am I Really Your Child?


    "You will never understand how happy I was when I found out I had biological parents. I am no


    longer the homeless child or the illegitimate child in other people''s eyes."


    "At that time, I told myself that my parents didn''t abandon me. They just identally lost me and


    they loved me. Look, they came to take me home."


    Her voice remained calm, but if one listened carefully, one could hear a slight tremble.


    "Unfortunately, I was ridiculously wrong."


    "All your love is given to Linda, and I am just a pitiful and despicable person who covets what Linda


    has."


    "Watching the three of you being affectionate with each other, I feel like an outsider who can never


    fit in."


    "I just wanted a little love and a little warmth of family, just a little. Why are you so stingy? Is it just


    because Linda would be upset and unhappy?"


    "Clearly, I am your biological daughter, the child you carried for ten months, Mother. Why are you so


    cruel to me?"


    "Mother, am I really your child?"


    Tears quietly streamed down her face.


    "Why did you give me hope but then make me feel hopeless? Why do you torture me like this?


    Why?"


    Her voice got louder and louder. Her high-pitched and sharp questioning made everyone in the


    room silent.


    The emcee''s eyes were red as he looked at the thin woman in front of him with pity.


    Looking at her haggard face and emaciated figure, the emcee sympathized with her so much.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Her despair-filled eyes made the emcee feel an intense disgust toward the Smith family.


    "I would rather be a homeless child without parents than be the daughter of the Smith family."


    Roslin''s voice was very soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly.


    Her voice was like feathers gently brushing against everyone''s hearts, leaving behind despair and


    sadness.


    She once yearned so much for the love of her parents, but after eight years of being repeatedly


    rejected and treated coldly, that yearning and small wish were worn away, leaving only pain and


    sadness.


    "Roslin, please stop it, okay? I beg you. Last time, you made Grandpa so angry that he died. Do


    you want to anger Mom and Dad to death this time?" Linda''s voice was gentle. Her tone was a bit


    worried and mad.


    "I know you hate me because I don''t let you be with Xander. But Xander loves me. We grew up


    together, and we''re childhood sweethearts. I can give you anything, but love can''t be shared." Linda


    said painfully.


    Roslin sneered. Linda was still so good at acting. No wonder she was an actress. She was


    ustomed to using this trick to divert people''s attention, making everyone think that Roslin was


    causing a scene to fight for a man, and that man was her elder brother-inw.


    Linda wanted people to regard Roslin as a shameless and mean woman.


    Before Roslin could speak, Xander looked at her with disgust. "Roslin, let me tell you. Even if I


    marry a pig or a dog, I will not marry a woman like you who has no sense of shame and has a


    vicious heart."


    As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a scream.


    "Ah!"


    Xander''s legs mped together. His face twisted in pain, and his face turned pale.


    No one expected Roslin to strike directly, kicking him in his private part.


    Roslin walked over and grabbed Xander''s cor. She was thin, but no one knew how she got so


    much strength. She lifted him and threw him in front of everyone, mming him heavily on the main


    table.


    In an instant, the sses and dishes were shattered.


    It all happened too fast in a few seconds, leaving people no time to react.


    When people realized what had happened, Xander had already fainted from the pain.


    His parents were sweating profusely with worry.


    His mother, Helen Davis, saw how crazy Roslin was, so she didn''t dare to do anything to Roslin.


    She could only re at Roslin fiercely. But when she turned to face Lucinda, she couldn''t hold back


    her anger anymore and cursed madly, "Look at your daughter! If anything bad happens to my son, I


    will make the Smith family pay the price."


    Lucinda panicked and quickly apologized with a smile. "Helen, calm down. I..."


    "Call me Mrs. Davis. The Davis family can''t be connected to the Smith family by marriage."


    John was furious and charged onto the stage, raising his hand to p Roslin''s face. But before he


    could p her, his hand was firmly grabbed by her small hands.


    John saw that she dared to resist and lifted his foot to kick her. He moved fast, but Roslin''s reaction


    was even faster.


    Bang...


    John was knocked away and crashed heavily into the edge of the stage. It was so painful that he


    was unable to get up for a while.


    Lucinda was dumbfounded and couldn''t believe it. Roslin always looked pitiful, spoke softly, and


    never dared to go against their words, but sheid a hand on John!


    "Roslin, how dare you hurt your father! You''ve gone too far!" Lucinda scolded.


    Roslin smiled indifferently. "When I no longer care about family ties, what right do you have to order


    me around? When I am no longer a member of the Smith family, who do you think you are?"


    "Roslin!" Lucinda shouted angrily, her eyes zing with the mes of fury as she stared at Roslin.


    She felt like she had never known Roslin.


    "I already said that I am no longer a member of the Smith family. I am not Roslin Smith. I am Roslin


    Cook. I am an orphan with no parents and a homeless child that no one wants."


    When she no longer hoped for family love, she removed her previous gentle and obedient facade,


    revealing her brave real self. Even with a scary scar on her face, she looked stunning and attractive.


    At that moment, she became the fearless and outstanding girl once again.


    She was no longer the humble girl who begged for a little love and warmth from her parents like a


    beggar.


    Linda looked at Roslin who had totally changed, her heart trembling.


    The first time Linda met Roslin, Roslin was just so eye-catching and charming that one could not


    ignore Roslin''s existence.


    Roslin was clearly like a rat living in a stinky gutter. How could Roslin be more eye-catching than


    her? So Linda spent a lot of effort slowly drawing in Roslin''s horns and making her timid, unable to


    compare herself with Linda.


    But now, Roslin became confident again.


    Despite her shock, Linda was not worried at all because Roslin was on her deathbed.


    Roslin''s body had decayed, and the eight years of slow poison was enough to take away Roslin''s


    vitality and kill her quietly.


    The biological daughter of the Smith family would no longer be alive in this world.


    There was only one daughter in the Smith family, and that person had to be Linda.

 Chapter 3 Betrayal

    Chapter 3 Betrayal


    Chapter 3 Betrayal


    Linda hid the murderous intent in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with tears as she looked up and


    spoke in a pitiful tone, "Rosy, if you don''t want me to stay in the Smith family, I can leave. I can even


    publicly announce that I am leaving the Smith family and our parents. Please don''t hurt Dad and


    Mom who love you, okay?"


    She pleaded with righteousness.


    Roslin looked at Linda who pretended to be sincere and felt sick. For so many days and nights, she


    wanted to tear off Linda''s hypocritical mask.


    In the past, she didn''t dare to do that because she was afraid that her father and mother would be


    unhappy, afraid that they would look at her with disappointed eyes, afraid that they would think she


    had bad manners, and afraid that they would dislike her.


    Now she was not afraid anymore.


    The next moment, Linda, who looked pitiful, was so scared that her face turned pale because Roslin


    pinched her neck.


    "You know what? I''ve been wanting to p your disgusting face for a long time."


    "Smack!" Roslin pped Linda''s face fiercely, and there was a loud sound.


    Linda''s face was pped to the side.


    "Smack..." Several consecutive ps made Linda''s cheeks red and swollen, and her face could no


    longer show that fake and disgusting expression.


    "Woo-woo." Linda cried.


    When Lucinda saw Linda''s miserable appearance, she shouted at the hotel staff with all her


    strength, "Why are you just standing there? Go pull that crazy woman down!"


    The hotel security guards who came in a hurry heard Lucinda''s words and all rushed forward


    without any hesitation.


    Suddenly, a sharp knife was ced on Linda''s neck, "Don''t move. If anyone takes one step forward,


    I will kill her with the knife."


    The security guards dared not move.


    The guests looked at Roslin in shock because her actions were too unexpected.


    What kind of despair did this young girl in her prime experience so she took such a decisive step?


    The cold feeling on her neck made Linda forget to cry, and all her attention was focused on Roslin''s


    hand, afraid that Roslin might identally cut her throat.


    Linda said nervously and fearfully, "Rosy, what you''re doing is illegal, and you''ll go to jail. Please let


    go of me, okay? I promise not to pursue it and promise not to go back to the Smith family, and I will


    give Dad and Mom back to you."


    Roslin sneered. "I don''t want them anymore."


    She spent eight years thoroughly seeing through her parents.


    In their eyes, she was not even their daughter.


    She lived worse than a dog. In the Smith family, even the dog had more dignity than her.


    Sheughed at herself for being stupid, foolish, and naive, thinking that if she worked hard and


    became more obedient, they would treat her well.


    After all, she was their biological daughter, wasn''t she?


    Unfortunately, she was wrong.


    She was ridiculously wrong.


    They didn''t have her in their hearts at all.


    She used to be too silly and hopeless.


    Linda wanted to persuade Roslin, but when she heard Roslin''s voice again, she felt like she had


    fallen into an ice cave.


    "I know I won''t live long. Since you don''t want me to live, let''s die together. After we die, we can still


    have each other."


    Linda''s lips kept trembling. She tried to speak several times but had to bite back her words.


    "Linda, you can..."


    Before Roslin could finish her words, a bullet whizzed by, and a red dot appeared on her forehead


    when she heard the gunshot.


    Roslin looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. She wanted to ask why but didn''t say it in the


    end.


    That man helped her escape from danger.


    That man protected her everywhere.


    That man was always by her side, bringing her the only warmth.


    But now, he had killed her.


    The most trusted person had betrayed her.


    There was nothing more despairing in the world.


    With resentment and hatred, Roslin slowly fell to the ground, and the knife in her hand slipped


    quietly and fell heavily on the ground, making a nging sound.


    Linda turned around in grief, crawled beside Roslin, and whispered in her ear, "Desperate? I just


    want you to be desperate. Let me tell you. All of this was my design.


    Even your previous men were personally chosen by me. Tut-tut, I never thought that even after


    being treated like that, you could wake up without shame. Shouldn''t you have protected the family''s


    reputation with your life?"


    Under the stimtion of Linda''s words, Roslin forced herself to open her heavy eyelids and stared


    at Linda. Linda''s tone was gentle, but what she said was extremely vicious.


    Linda looked at Roslin''s hateful yet indignant eyes and smirked. "Look at those beautiful eyes. I


    almost can''t bear to kill you so soon. After all, I haven''t had enough fun. Unfortunately, Xander


    doesn''t want to see you anymore, so I can only send you to hell."


    "Don''t me me. If you want to me someone, me yourself foring back. Everything in the


    Smith family belongs to me. You''re only fit to be a rat in the sewer."


    A mouthful of blood spurted out of Roslin''s mouth, sshing on Linda''s face.


    Linda was stunned, a hint of ferocity flickered in her eyes, but it quickly turned into pain. This was


    because a group of people led by Lucinda rushed over and surrounded her.


    "Linda, are you okay? Let me see if you''re injured." Lucinda said very anxiously.


    Linda shook her head and said sorrowfully, "Mom, I''m sorry. I''m the one who caused Roslin''s


    death."


    Lucinda''s face darkened. "Don''t mention that jinx. She deserved to die."


    "This has nothing to do with you. She brought this upon herself." Johnforted Linda.


    Lucinda hugged Linda tightly and kept reassuring her. "It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have let that jinx


    in. It almost caused you harm."


    John added, "Don''t mention that wicked girl. I''ve never had a daughter like her in my life."


    The elegant man who had fired the gun walked up to them and nced coldly at Roslin on the


    ground. When he looked up at Linda, his eyes were full of tenderness. "Linda, are you okay? It''s my


    fault for putting you in danger."


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Hearing Eric Walker''s voice, Linda looked up at him with teary eyes and said, "Eric, it''s not your


    fault. Don''t me yourself. It''s my fault. Now Roslin... Woo-woo, I''m so scared."


    Eric wanted tofort her, but he had to restrain himself because of the people around them.


    People in the Smith family keptforting Linda.


    "Linda, she treated you like that, but you still care about her. She deserved to die."


    "Her death is the greatest help to society."


    "Linda, you''re too kind."


    ......


    Eric looked at Linda who kept ming herself and couldn''t hide his love for her.


    This was the person he liked. Linda was always so kind. She could even forgive Roslin though


    Roslin treated her so badly. However, Roslin was so malicious and had evil intentions. Roslin was a


    scourge to society if she was alive.


    Linda listened to the people around herforting her, and a hint of pride shed across her


    lowered eyes.

 Chapter 4 Rebirth

    Chapter 4 Rebirth


    Chapter 4 Rebirth


    Roslin was floating in the air. After a brief confusion, she regained her memories.


    She was dead, killed by her trusted older brother.


    Her older brother who had always been on her side and also hated Linda, actually loved Linda in


    secret.


    He had great acting skills and schemes.


    It took him eight years to gain her trust, and he had plotted against her for eight years to betray her


    in the end.


    Watching everyoneforting Linda and hearing them curse her, Roslin felt a sense of absurdity


    and sadness.


    This was the Smith family, and she always regarded them as their family.


    The hotel security personnel looked at Roslin''s dead body and hesitated for a moment before


    looking at John. "Mr. Smith, your daughter''s dead body..."


    John said the most heartless words coldly, "We don''t have a daughter like her in our family. Do


    whatever you want with her body. You can either throw her away or burn her."


    Everyone left, and the guests dispersed, leaving only the hotel staff and a cold body behind.


    The staff didn''t dare to approach Roslin''s body, not knowing what to do.


    Suddenly, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. As soon as the man appeared,


    he drew everyone''s attention.


    The manager looked shocked when he saw the man and hurried over. "Mr. Cooper."


    The man nced at the woman lying on the cold floor and ordered coldly, "Notify the funeral home."


    "Yes, Mr. Cooper."


    After the man left, the manager looked at the poor woman on the ground and sighed. "Some people


    may look cold on the surface, but they''re actually better than those who put on fake smiles. Miss,


    don''t live such a miserable life in your next life. Live for yourself."


    At that moment, Roslin, who was floating in the air, was suddenly swept away by a strong force and


    lost consciousness.


    ......


    On Greencloud Hill in the famous wealthy suburb of H City, a Mercedes-Benz was driving along the


    winding road. Suddenly, a ck cat rushed out of the jungle. The driver was so frightened and


    mmed on the brakes.


    "Screech!" The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground harshly echoed.


    "Bang!" The girl sitting in the backseat hit her head on the back of the seat and fainted on the spot.


    The driver, with his heart pounding, covered his chest in fear.


    In the middle of the road, a ck cat stood, meowing in the direction of the car, its voice piercing


    and creepy.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The driver was annoyed and got out of the car. The ck cat quickly ran away, standing on the road


    and howling toward the ck car.


    The driver was gooseflesh all over because of the ck cat''s howling. He picked up a stone with


    annoyance and threw it fiercely at the cat. "F*ck off!"


    As soon as the driver finished speaking, the girl who had fainted in the car suddenly opened her


    eyes. Her blood-red eyes were filled with hatred, so intense that it seemed tangible.


    Wasn''t she dead?


    What was happening?


    Looking around, she fixed her eyes on the familiar figure outside the car.


    The ck cat nced in the direction of the car and stopped meowing. It turned around and


    entered the woods. The driver, Sam, cursed as he came back.


    This scene was like the switch in Roslin''s memory, awakening her memories from eight years ago.


    It was her first time sitting in a luxury car, and her first time on the way back home.


    She put her hand on her arm, increased her strength slowly, and pinched it hard, feeling a clear


    pain.


    Everything was so real.


    She was back.


    She was back to eight years ago, the beginning of her tragic life.

    Chapter 5 Make Them Pay


    Sam turned his head and asked, "Miss Roslin, are you okay?"


    Roslin shook her head.


    The car continued to drive on the winding mountain road. As Roslin looked at the familiar


    surroundings, countless memories shed through her mind one by one.


    This was where her tragic life began.


    In her past life, she didn''t get any family love.


    In this life, she no longer wanted it.


    But in this life, she would make the people who hurt her in her past life pay the price.


    Roslin stood at the entrance of the vi. Her deep gaze fixed on the magnificent and luxurious


    mansion before her, and she smiled faintly.


    ''Linda, I''m back again.''


    When Mary heard the noise, she came out of the vi. A hint of sympathy shed through her eyes


    when she saw Roslin''s thin and lonely figure at the door.


    She smiled and approached Roslin. "Miss Roslin,e on in."


    Mary warmly took the luggage from Roslin''s hand and led the way.


    When Roslin first stepped on these steps, she was nervous, uneasy, expectant, and happy. But


    when she stepped on them again, all she felt was hatred. The hatred that had been suppressedT¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    deep in her heart had already pierced her heart with a thousand wounds, bleeding profusely.


    The spacious living room, the shining marble floor, and the million-dor crystal chandelier all


    showed that the owner of the vi was very rich.


    Mary smiled at the elegant woman arranging flowers in the living room and said, "Mrs. Smith, Miss


    Roslin is here."


    The elegant woman ignored Mary and continued arranging the flowers in her hand.


    Mary was a bit embarrassed and turned to Roslin. "Maybe Mrs. Smith didn''t hear me."


    She took a few steps forward and raised her voice. "Mrs. Smith, Miss Roslin has arrived."


    Lucinda inserted thest rose and slowly picked up the silk scarf on the table, gently wiping her


    fingers. Her every movement was slow and elegant.


    She raised her eyes and looked past Mary at Roslin. When she saw Roslin''s clothes, her eyebrows


    furrowed slightly. She caught a glimpse of the tattered bag in Mary''s hand from the corner of her


    eye.


    "Mary, where did you pick up this trash? Throw it away quickly. Look at how dirty it is. Who knows


    how many bacteria it''s carrying? If Linda touches it, she''ll have an allergic reaction."


    Her voice was gentle, like the breeze.


    Mary was awkward and didn''t know how to respond.


    She looked at Roslin worriedly, afraid that Roslin might feel embarrassed.


    Roslin remained calm.


    She had experienced this kind of embarrassment eight years ago, and now experiencing it again


    couldn''t affect her mood at all. It was not worth mentioning.


    "Mrs. Smith, this is..." Mary didn''t know how to exin.


    Just as she was in a dilemma, a cold voice rang out. "This is mine. Mrs. Smith, do you think my


    whole body is covered in bacteria? Indeed, from a medical point of view, there are many bacteria on


    my body. Simrly, there are also many bacteria on your body, Mrs. Smith."


    Roslin''s speech was neither fast nor slow, making it impossible to detect her emotions.


    Lucinda was stunned, and Mary looked at Roslin in surprise.


    Lucinda looked at Roslin as if she was hurt.


    Mary intervened to ease the atmosphere, "Miss Roslin, don''t be angry. Mrs. Smith is just


    straightforward and doesn''t mean anything else."


    Just then, a clear and sweet voice came from the direction of the staircase.


    "Did my younger sister arrive?"


    A graceful girl walked over with light steps, wearing a white fluffy princess dress, handcrafted


    leather shoes, and adorned with valuable diamond earrings and nes. She was dressed like a


    delicate doll in a disy case.

    Chapter 6 A Stranger in the Family


    Behind the girl was a refined middle-aged man with a cold and serious expression on his face.


    Roslin''s gaze was fixed on Linda. Her fingers gradually clenched and her nails deeply dug into her


    flesh, but she didn''t feel the pain because her overwhelming hatred had already covered it.


    Linda happily walked up to her. Linda looked like a princess, while Roslin wore old, washed-out


    clothes from head to toe. They were like the swan and the ugly duckling in a fairy tale, making


    Roslin feel ashamed of herself.


    Linda looked at Roslin. Roslin''s fair skin seemed to glow, and her facial features were delicate. She


    still looked so pretty even in tattered clothes.


    Roslin was the most beautiful girl Linda had ever seen, which made Linda feel a bit ufortable.


    Linda smiled and approached Roslin, held Roslin''s arm, and happily said, "Can I call you Rosy?"


    "Call me Roslin."


    Linda looked disappointed, but quickly showed a sweet smile and said, "Roslin, let me introduce


    you. This is our Dad, and this is Mom. We''ll be living together from now on."


    Roslin looked at the familiar but cold-blooded middle-aged couple in front of her. Since Linda came


    down, Lucinda had never stopped smiling.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    As for her father, he was still so cold and serious that even when he saw his long-lost daughter,


    there was no smile on his face.


    This was what happened when she saw her biological parents for the first time. In their eyes, she


    seemed like a stranger who was rted to them by blood, not their long-lost daughter.


    On the other hand, Linda, who had no blood rtionship with them, seemed more like a family


    member.


    The eighteen years of absence were not just about a good life and education, but more about family


    love.


    At this moment, Roslin realized her awkward position in this family very clearly.


    In her past life, she was foolishly thinking that she was her parents'' daughter and that they loved


    her. It took her eight years to realize how ridiculous and sad this idea was.


    Lucinda said gently, "Roslin, you need to get along well with Linda from now on. Although she is not


    our child, we have decided to adopt her. She is your elder sister now, so take good care of her,


    okay?"


    This statement was so ridiculous.


    "I''ve only heard of older sisters taking care of younger sisters, not the other way around."


    Lucinda''s smile froze.


    Linda immediately held Roslin''s arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I''m already an adult and don''t


    need anyone to take care of me. Roslin just came to our house, so it''s my responsibility to take care


    of her. Humph, you think I''m too fragile."


    Lucinda was immediately amused and pinched her nose indulgently.


    John, the head of the family who had not spoken all this time, finally said, "You''ve grown up now."


    Then he turned to Roslin and said, "This is your home from now on. If you need anything, just tell


    your mother and she will buy it for you."


    "Okay, we''re done with the introductions, so I''ll take Roslin upstairs to her room now."


    Linda didn''t even ask for Roslin''s opinion and just pulled Roslin upstairs.


    Seeing how eager Linda was, Lucinda smiled and said, "Look at her."


    Her tone was full of indulgence.


    But when she looked at Roslin, her tone became unusually cold. "If you don''t like anything, tell us


    and we''ll change it."

 Chapter 7 Maybe It Was Wrong from the Beginning

    Chapter 7 Maybe It Was Wrong from the Beginning


    Chapter 7 Maybe It Was Wrong from the Beginning


    Roslin followed Linda upstairs.


    Linda led Roslin to the second floor and walked to the end of the hallway. Roslin pushed open the


    door, and the room that came into view was the same one she had lived in in her previous life.


    In her previous life, Linda warmly brought her upstairs to this room in the same way. At that time,


    when she saw the room for the first time, she was excited, nervous, and happy.


    The room before her was so bright and spacious, with a faint fragrance in the air.


    This kind of room only appeared in her dreams.


    But now she had it.


    She no longer had to live in a dark and damp room, worry about the house being washed away in a


    storm, or fear rain leaking into her room.


    She no longer had to worry about mice and cockroaches crawling onto her bed andpeting for


    territory with her.


    She no longer had to fear getting sick from the heat in the summer or being bitten by countless


    mosquitoes.


    This was the room she had always dreamed of.


    In her previous life, she only felt content and moved.


    She was moved by Linda''s thoughtfulness and her parents'' kindness.


    Even when sheter found out that this room was the smallest and most remote in the house, she


    didn''t feel any dissatisfaction or resentment.


    Later, she saw Linda''s huge bedroom which was more than three timesrger than her own room,


    and even Linda''s dressing room was more luxurious than her bedroom, but she didn''t feel jealous.


    Because at that time, she had a very small demand, only wanting a ce to sleep peacefully.


    Perhaps, everything was destined from that moment.


    Roslin didn''t fight for anything, so she wasbeled as easy to fool and bully. That was why Linda


    thought of her as a weak and useless person and continued to upy everything that belonged to


    her and live as the daughter of the Smith family.


    She didn''t fight because she didn''t want to trouble her parents and was afraid that they wouldn''t like


    her.


    She didn''t fight because she had a simple heart and was too easily satisfied.


    In her previous life, her thoughtfulness and concessions only make her hated and disgusted by


    everyone.


    Maybe she was wrong from the beginning.


    Why should she give up what belonged to her to an outsider?


    Linda smiled and asked, "Do you like it? Mom and I carefully decorated it for you."


    Decorated it with Mom...


    What an intimate address.


    Linda wanted to tell Roslin eagerly that although Linda wasn''t the child of the Smith family, their


    parents still loved her.


    This was to proim her position in the Smith family invisibly, reminding Roslin at all times.


    Roslin smiled quietly.


    Linda thought Roslin was satisfied, but looking at Roslin''s smile, she felt a sense of unease.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Can you take me to see the other rooms?"


    "Don''t you like this room?"


    Roslin smiled but didn''t say anything.


    Linda understood that she was dissatisfied.


    "You can tell me if you find a room you liketer."


    "Can I live in a room I like?" Roslin tilted her head and asked with a smile.


    "Of course. You can live in whichever room you like. This is your home."


    Roslin''s smile became bigger.


    Linda wanted to y the role of a caring older sister, so she was naturally happy to show Roslin


    around room by room.


    "This is Mom and Dad''s room. This is the study. Dad doesn''t like peopleing in and out. Roslin,


    don''t go into the study casually in the future, or you''ll be scolded. That''s my brother''s room. He''s the


    son Mom and Dad adopted. He''s studying abroad as an exchange student and won''t be back for


    another month."


    They walked around, but Linda didn''t introduce her own room.


    "Whose room is that?" Roslin pointed to the door diagonally across from them.

    "It''s mine." Linda''s heart tightened, and she had a bad feeling.


    "I want to see it."


    Linda wanted to stop Roslin, but Roslin had taken a step forward and pushed open the door.


    Therge floor-to-ceiling window showcased the beautiful view outside, while the furnishings in the


    room were exquisite and luxurious. Even a garbage bin was worth thousands of dors.


    "I want this room."


    Linda clenched her hand unconsciously. She knew that Roslin would take away everything from her


    as soon as Roslin arrived.


    "But... this is my room."


    Linda liked everything in this room.


    "Didn''t you say I could choose any rooms here? What''s wrong? So you were just being polite."


    Roslin looked at her calmly.


    Linda gritted her teeth. "Roslin, the other rooms are also good. You can choose any of them. I''m


    used to living in this room."


    "Why are you here?"


    Lucinda and John walked into the room, noticing the tense atmosphere between the two girls.


    Lucinda asked with confusion, "What''s going on?"


    Linda walked up to Lucinda, held her arm intimately, pouted, and said with grievances, "Roslin


    doesn''t like the room we prepared for her, so she wants my room."


    Look at the way she talked. Her soft voice always tried to stir up trouble and make others hate


    Roslin.


    Unfortunately, Linda was destined to be disappointed.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Roslin didn''t care if John and Lucinda would dislike her or feel ufortable. What mattered to her


    was simple. She wanted to make Linda feel sad and wronged.


    Lucinda furrowed her brows slightly. "Rosy, this is Linda''s room. You can choose any other room


    you like."


    "Is this really my home?" Roslin asked.


    "Absolutely."


    "And are you truly my biological parents?" Roslin asked again.


    Lucinda replied without hesitation, "Without a doubt."


    "Since this is my home and you are my biological parents, why can''t I live in the room I like? Why do


    I have topromise for an outsider? I simply want to experience what my life should have been


    like. Is that too much to ask?"


    Lucinda was rendered speechless.


    Linda''s face flushed. Roslin couldn''t tell whether it was because of rage or embarrassment.


    John, who had been silent, finally spoke up, "Linda, move out. Let Roslin have this room."


    Linda looked at John sadly with tears in her eyes, bit her lip, and sobbed, "Okay, I''ll move out."


    She knew that everything that belonged to her would be taken away as soon as Roslin arrived.


    Now it was the room, but there would be more and more things in the future.


    Why did Rosline back? Why didn''t Roslin die outside?


    Linda''s heart was filled with resentment.


    Lucinda noticed her distressed appearance and felt heartbroken.


    "Roslin, you''re a sensible child. Why do you have to get Linda''s room? If you don''t like the other


    rooms, we can hire a designer to decorate a room you like. Isn''t that better?" Lucinda appeared


    caring, but she was actually biased.


    Roslin tilted her head, looking innocent. "I really like this room. Didn''t she say she would take care


    of me? Why couldn''t she give up a room for me now?"


    Lucinda wanted to say more, but John interrupted her. "Alright, this matter is settled. Linda will move


    out, and this room will be Roslin''s."


    Although Lucinda was dissatisfied, she didn''t say anything more.


    She held Linda''s hand and gently patted it. "The room next door is also good. If you don''t like the


    style, I will hire the best designer to create a room that you like."


    "Okay." Linda obediently replied and said with a smile, "I''m okay with everything as long as Roslin is


    happy."


    The more obedient she was, the more Lucinda''s heart ached.

 Chapter 9 Biased Mother

    Chapter 9 Biased Mother


    Chapter 9 Biased Mother


    Linda had always been pampered since she was young, so when did she ever experience such


    grievances? Lucinda couldn''t help but resent her biological daughter who had juste home.


    Roslin grew up outside and had no manners at all. It seemed that she had to teach Roslin in the


    future, otherwise taking Roslin out would only embarrass the Smith family.


    Roslin sat in the room and propped her chin with her hands, watching as the servants moved box


    after box of things out.


    Linda looked at the leftover clothes in the closet and said, "Stop."


    The servants looked at her in confusion. One of them said, "Miss Linda, Miss Roslin just said that


    we must move everything out today."


    Miss Roslin? What an unpleasant title.


    Linda looked at the servant and said gently, "My figure is simr to hers. Roslin just arrived and


    doesn''t have many clothes to wear. Let her have these clothes."


    Her thoughtfulness immediately earned the admiration of the naive maids.


    Linda was very satisfied with the result.


    When Roslin saw everyone leave, she curiously asked, "Is everything moved out?"


    One of the maids replied, "Yes, everything is moved out. Miss Linda said to leave the rest for you to


    use."


    Roslin walked into therge closet, her fingers lightly brushing over the remaining clothes and bags


    in the wardrobe. She smiled faintly.


    In her past life, Linda used this trick to embarrass her in front of everyone.


    At that time, Linda left clothes for Roslin, told Roslin that these clothes were ones she had never


    worn before, and even brought Roslin to the upper-ss circle and help Roslin make friends.


    Roslin naively thought that Linda was always thinking of her, but she didn''t know that these clothes


    had already been worn by Linda and were out of fashion.


    That day, Roslin met people for the first time as a daughter of the Smith family, but outsiders


    laughed at her.


    Everyone knew that the newly arrived biological daughter of the Smith family had taken away the


    adopted daughter''s second-hand clothes which were all outdated.


    Since then, she has beenbeled as "tasteless" and "unfashionable".


    She still remembered the looks of disdain and contempt from those people, and she would never


    forget how her mother directly pointed at her and scolded her as a poor and silly country bumpkin


    who disgraced their family.


    Those words were like knives that stabbed her heart.


    She still remembered that pain and shame.


    Now that Linda wants to use the same trick again, she would y the game with Linda.


    At dinner time, the maid led Roslin into the dining room. Linda and Lucinda were sitting side by side,


    and Roslin was arranged to sit opposite them alone.


    After John sat down, the maid began to serve the dishes.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The dishes were brought up one by one, all of which were Linda''s favorites. As for whether Roslin


    liked them or not, who would care?


    "Linda, it''s your favorite sashimi. I specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare it for you." Lucinda


    picked up a piece of raw fish and put it in Linda''s bowl.


    There was finally a smile on Linda''s unhappy face. "Mmm."


    Lucinda saw her smile and felt happy. "Eat more. These dishes are all your favorites."


    Looking at the mother and daughter on the opposite side feeding each other, Roslin lowered her


    head, her lips curling with a sneer.


    This was her good mother, who only cared about and paid attention to Linda.

 Chapter 10 Too Dirty

    Chapter 10 Too Dirty


    Chapter 10 Too Dirty


    Did she remember her biological daughter when she picked up food for Linda?


    Did she remember that her biological daughter was new to this ce and felt unfamiliar with


    everything when she arranged food for Linda?


    Had she ever thought about whether her biological daughter would like the food here or adapt to the


    new home?


    No!


    She had never even considered it.


    Perhaps in their eyes, Roslin''s being able toe back to this family meant that she was enjoying


    herself. Why would there be anything she didn''t like, wasn''t happy about, or couldn''t adapt to?


    Linda nced at Roslin across the table and turned to Lucinda. "Mom, don''t always pick food for


    me. You should eat more."


    With that, Linda picked up a piece of sashimi and ced it in Roslin''s bowl. "Roslin, try this. It''s


    delicious."


    Roslin looked at the sashimi in her bowl.


    Was this sashimi?


    No, it was a deration of war, telling Roslin that although she was Lucinda''s biological daughter, it


    was useless. Lucinda didn''t care about her.


    Lucinda only picked food for Linda, but not for Roslin.


    "nk." Roslin put down her fork.


    The three people at the table looked up at her in surprise. John frowned and was somewhat


    displeased by the noise she made.


    Lucinda looked at her with confusion.


    But Linda was delighted in her heart.


    She wished that Roslin could make a fuss. The more unreasonable Roslin was, the less their


    parents would like Roslin.


    "Mary, bring me a clean bowl."


    Roslin took the new bowl from Mary and ced the previous one aside. Under the gaze of the three


    people, she ate slowly and gently.


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucinda frowned in displeasure. "Rosy, what are you doing?"


    "It''s too dirty," Roslin replied tly.


    Linda was overjoyed in her heart, but her face showed a sad expression, pitifully lowering her head.


    With a loud "nk", John put down his fork heavily.


    "Roslin, where are your manners?"


    The atmosphere at the dining table instantly became intense. The servants serving them were too


    scared to make a sound. However, Roslin, as the person involved, calmly swallowed the food in her


    mouth, picked up a napkin, and elegantly wiped her mouth.


    She looked up at John, her expression calm, seemingly oblivious to his boiling anger. She said


    unhurriedly, "Although sashimi has high nutritional value, it also has millions of bacteria breeding on


    it."


    "Do you know that the bacteria on it will increase by billions every minute? How much time does it


    take from killing the fish to bringing it to the table? And how many bacteria have grown during that


    time?"


    "I said it was dirty. Was I wrong?" Roslin''s cold eyes fearlessly stared at John''s.


    John realized he had misunderstood her and coughed awkwardly, but he had no intention of


    apologizing to Roslin.


    He wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but Roslin wouldn''t let him.


    She leaned her chin on her hands and said with a smile, "I came out of the orphanage at the age of


    five, fought with dogs for food, fought with other beggars for shelter, and begged for money from


    people. In my life for more than ten years, I only learned one thing, which is how to survive."


    "What is manner? Is it something that can be exchanged for food or drink, or something that can


    give me a life of ease andfort? If it can, I will have good manners."


    The dining room fell silent.


    The more nonchnt Roslin appeared, the more people could feel the bitterness and sorrow hidden


    behind her light words.


    Mary and the others looked at her with pity, but at the same time, they were worried that she would


    make Mr. Smith unhappy.

 Chapter 11 Parting Ways

    Chapter 11 Parting Ways


    Chapter 11 Parting Ways


    In this family, Mr. Smith''s word wasw. He never allowed anyone to challenge his authority or


    contradict him.


    Roslin''s actions were undoubtedly crossing the line.


    Linda looked at Roslin in shock, not because of Roslin''s past, but because of how casually and


    calmly Roslin spoke of her past misfortunes.


    John and Lucinda fell into silence.


    "It''s all my fault, Rosy." Lucinda wiped her tears and walked toward Roslin, wanting to embrace her.


    Roslin stood up and avoided her embrace.


    There was a time when she longed for her mother''s embrace so much, but now she didn''t need it.


    She had suffered too much.


    So, she was used to it.


    "I''m full, you guys can enjoy your meal."


    Roslin walked out of the dining room unconcernedly, ignoring what they thought or felt.


    The atmosphere in the dining room didn''t ease after she left. In fact, it became more depressing.


    John looked at the table full of dishes that Linda liked, but he had no appetite.


    He looked at Lucinda and said, "From now on, before meals, ask Roslin what she''d like to have."


    Linda''s heart ached when she heard this. She clenched her fists tightly on herp.


    Did Roslin even want to fight for the food she wanted?


    Lucinda nodded. When John got up, she asked in a hurry, "Are you not eating anymore?"


    How could John still have the appetite?


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "No."


    Before leaving the dining room, he nced at Linda and left with a gloomy face.


    When they were both gone, Lucinda sat back in her seat and said, "Linda, eat more."


    Linda looked at the table of dishes. Most of them were sashimi. How could she bring herself to eat


    after hearing Roslin''s words? Despite knowing that Roslin did it on purpose, Linda felt


    ufortable.


    "No, I''m full."


    She didn''t have any appetite after John gave her such a look.


    Her mother had no sense at all.


    Lindained in her heart but didn''t show it on her face.


    If it were before, she would have lost her temper.


    But now, although she was angry, she had to bear with it.


    Seeing that they weren''t eating anymore, Lucinda put down her fork and waved her hand, telling the


    servants to clear the table.


    "Mary, can you believe Roslin''s behavior? Why did she have to bring up those unspeakable things?


    It made everyone unhappy. Do you think she''s ming me for not noticing it earlier? After all, I''m


    her mother." Lucinda felt ufortable andined to Mary.


    Mary sighed. If she were Roslin, she would have been unhappy too. It was the first meal Roslin had


    at home, but all the dishes were Linda''s favorites. It was only natural for Roslin to be angry.


    Lucinda had indeed made a mistake, but Mary didn''t dare to say it.


    She smiled and said, "Maybe Miss Roslin just hasn''t got used to moving here.. Mrs. Smith, you


    should show more concern toward her, and everything will be fine."


    "Alright."


    Lucinda stood up, not wanting to continue the topic.


    Rat-a-tat...


    There was a knock on the door.


    "Come in."


    The door opened. Linda walked in and looked at Roslin. At this time, Roslin was sitting in Linda''s


    favorite spot.


    It was where Linda could see the most beautiful scenery in the vi. The chair was a crocodile


    leather sofa that her brother had designed and personally customized for her. It was unique in the


    world.


    But now it was upied by Roslin.


    Seeing this scene, Linda was mad with jealousy.

 Chapter 12 Lindas Trap

    Chapter 12 Linda''s Trap


    Chapter 12 Linda''s Trap


    It was clear that this was just the beginning.


    In the days toe, Roslin would gradually take away everything that belonged to Linda.


    Linda felt suffocated. After taking a deep breath, she put on a smile, walked to Roslin, and sat down


    in front of her.


    "Roslin, there''s a small party tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"


    In Roslin''s past life, Linda was just as considerate.


    Roslin smiled. "No, I''m not familiar with them."


    Linda had expected this and had prepared her response beforehand. "Those people are either


    friends of Dad and Mom or the children of their business partners. As the daughter of the Smith


    family, you must be on good terms with them. Don''t worry. I''ll take care of you."


    "Since you put it that way, I''ll go and take a look."


    Linda couldn''t hide her joy when Roslin agreed. Before leaving, Linda reminded her. "Roslin, you


    can''t wear this kind of clothes to that kind of asion."


    She looked at Roslin''s white shirt and jeans.


    Roslin asked humbly, "What should I wear then?"


    Roslin had taken the bait!


    Linda''s voice became gentler and gentler. "It''s toote to buy clothes now, and we can''t find


    anything good anyway. Fortunately, there are many new clothes in the closet that I''ve never worn


    before. You won''t mind wearing them, will you?"


    She seemed worried that Roslin would dislike those clothes, looking at Roslin with concern and


    anxiety.


    Roslin smiled quietly and took her hand. "Linda, why would I mind? Thank you for thinking of me.


    I''m so grateful."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "It''s good that you don''t mind." Linda smiled happily. "Go to bed early. You should maintain your


    beautiful skin."


    Linda stared at Roslin''s smooth and fair skin which looked like a peeled egg with jealousy.


    Although they were the same age, Roslin''s skin seemed much younger than hers. Every woman


    wanted to have better skin than others.


    Linda was no exception.


    "Okay, Linda, you should rest early too and take care of your skin. Otherwise, people will think


    you''re two or three years older than me when they see us." Roslin said thoughtfully.


    Linda immediately felt that she couldn''t breathe, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.


    "Go to bed early. Goodnight."


    When Linda turned around, her smile disappeared, and her eyes were full of resentment and


    hatred.


    Roslin watched as she left. When the door waspletely closed, Roslin''s smile gradually became


    cold. She took out a wet tissue and gently wiped her hand again and again until it turned red.


    Returning to the room, Linda looked at the cramped bedroom and thought about the ce where


    Roslin was sitting and living. That ce should have been hers.


    The anger and hatred that had been suppressed in her heart could no longer be controlled. Linda


    swept all the cosmetics on the dressing table to the ground.


    A loud bang was heard in her room.


    "What''s wrong, Linda?" Lucinda''s concerned voice came from outside the door.


    Linda was in a bad mood and didn''t want to see Lucinda. She took a few deep breaths and tried to


    make her voice sound normal. "It''s nothing. I identally knocked something over. Mom, go to


    bed."


    Standing outside the door, Lucinda knew her daughter''s temperament. Since Linda didn''t let her in,


    she wouldn''t want to upset Linda.


    "If there''s anything wrong, you must tell me," Lucinda said thoughtfully.


    "Okay."


    After Lucinda left, the anger on Linda''s face reignited, and her eyes became cold and vicious.


    No one could take away what belonged to her.


    ''Roslin, even if you are the biological daughter of the Smith family, so what?''


    ''One day, they would all belong to me, and only me.''

    The next day, Linda woke up early to dress up. She chose a new princess dress thatplemented


    her skin tone perfectly, wore diamond earrings in her ears, and a gemstone bracelet designed by


    her older brother on her wrist. After confirming that she looked wless in the mirror, she smiled.


    Just the thought of Roslin wearing her old clothes and appearing in front of her friends made her


    feel satisfied.


    Soon, Roslin would be aughingstock in the upper ss and a disgrace to the Smith family.


    "Linda, are you going out?" Lucinda looked at Linda who was dressed up and was quite pleased.


    "Yes, I''m nning to introduce Roslin to some friends," Linda said gently.


    Lucinda took her hand and gently patted it. "You are the most sensible and considerate. Take good


    care of her outside and don''t let her embarrass us or bring shame to the Smith family."


    Linda nodded obediently. "Mom, I understand."


    She would naturally take good care of Roslin.


    "Let''s go."


    Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.


    Lucinda and Linda turned around and were surprised when they saw Roslin''s outfit.


    "Why are you wearing this?" Lucinda frowned. "How can you go out just wearing a shirt and jeans?"


    If Roslin went out dressed like this, it would be a disgrace to the Smith family.


    "Is there a problem?" Roslin said.


    Lucinda was angry at Roslin''s unsophisticated appearance and scolded her madly. "Are you


    intentionally trying to make the Smith family aughingstock by going out dressed like this? Are you


    trying to tell everyone that the Smith family mistreats you?"


    She had been dissatisfied with Roslin''s behavior, but she had been holding back her anger because


    Roslin had just returned. But now, Roslin was getting out of hand.


    Linda quickly said tofort Lucinda, "Mom, don''t be angry. Roslin probably didn''t mean it."


    As she said this, she turned to Roslin and kept winking at Roslin. "Roslin, apologize to Mom


    quickly."

    But Roslinughed.


    Looking at Lucinda''s angry face, she found it ridiculous.


    "You, you..."


    Lucinda scolded Roslin, but Roslin actuallyughed.


    This feeling made Lucinda very suffocated and ufortable.


    Linda kept patting Lucinda''s back and said, "Mom, calm down. Don''t get too angry. If your health is


    affected, I''ll worry about you. Roslin, hurry up and apologize to Mom."


    Lucinda looked at Linda, who was so considerate and filial, and then looked at Roslin who stood


    there like a little rascal and became more and more dissatisfied and upset.


    Roslin was actually her daughter.


    Why wasn''t her daughter Linda?


    "Apologize? Why should I apologize? Am I not wearing it properly? Or did I steal or rob something?


    Why why do you think you''re embarrassed by me? My clothes are clean and neat. How does that


    bring shame to the Smith family?"


    Roslin had wanted to say this in her past life but had always held back.


    Now, she finally said it in front of them.


    "Are you trying to anger me to death?" Lucinda''s chest heaved with anger.


    Linda disapproved and said, "Roslin, wearing this outfit is not appropriate for your status. You are


    now the daughter of the Smith family, not who you used to be. Clothes represent your status. Now


    you represent not only yourself but also the Smith family."


    Lucinda was relieved to hear Linda''s words.


    This was how her daughter should be. The more she looked at Roslin, the more ufortable she


    felt.


    Roslin looked enlightened and said, "I know I should put on some of Linda''s old clothes before I


    head out to meet her friends. In that case, the Smith family won''t be disgraced and will appear


    respectable."

    "What are you talking about?"


    John walked into the living room with his secretary by his side. The secretary noticed the


    atmosphere and was about to leave.


    "The documents are on the desk in the study on the second floor."


    The secretary went upstairs. Before leaving, she subconsciously nced at Roslin.


    Linda hurriedly exined, "Mom asked Roslin to dress a little better when she goes out, but she felt


    offended and argued with Mom."


    John looked at his angry wife and then at Roslin who was poorly dressed. He frowned slightly and


    didn''t doubt Linda''s words.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "Your mother is right. Girls should wear dresses. You should change your clothes."


    John used a euphemistic way of speaking, but Roslin understood his implication.


    She was no longer the little girl back then.


    "If I would disgrace the Smith family by going out wearing this outfit, what about wearing the old


    clothes that other people didn''t want? Or is there a rule in the Smith family that I have to wear other


    people''s old clothes to see friends?"


    Upon hearing her sarcastic words, John frowned. "What do you mean?"


    "Linda asked me to wear her old clothes to see her friends."


    Being looked at by her father, Linda was aggrieved and her eyes turned red. "Dad, I didn''t do it."


    "Roslin, how can you lie at such a young age? When did Linda say such a thing?"


    Roslin smiled. "She didn''t say it, but she did it. In my closet, besides the few clothes I brought with


    me, the rest are old clothes that Linda didn''t want. You are forcing me to wear her old clothes to see


    her friends since you don''t allow me to wear my own clothes. Will it gain the Smith family more


    respect?"


    Roslin didn''t stop and continued to mock them.


    "If I really don''t care about the Smith family, I''m afraid that within a day, the entire upper ss of H


    City will spread the news that the biological daughter of the Smith family wears her adopted sister''s


    old clothes when going out to see people."


    "On a smaller scale, people may think that Mr. and Mrs. Smith prefer their adopted daughter. After


    all, the adopted daughter has been with them for many years and has more emotional ties. Look,


    the biological daughter can only wear her adopted sister''s old clothes."


    "On arger scale, people may wonder if something bad has happened to the Smith family''s


    business and if their capital chain has problems because they can''t even afford to buy clothes for


    their own daughter."


    "If someone with bad intentions takes advantage of this matter and spreads it on the Inte, what


    will happen?"


    Roslin saw John''s expression change and smiled in her heart.


    John valued nothing but hispany. Whoever did something that harmed hispany would not


    be forgiven easily.


    Lucinda said indifferently, "What people say on the Inte has nothing to do with our Smith family."


    "Shut up!" John rebuked and then looked at Roslin with a softer gaze. "You''re very thoughtful."


    John looked at Linda, and Linda was scared by his gaze.


    "Dad, it''s not like that. I... I really didn''t think that way." Linda wanted to defend herself but didn''t


    know what to say.


    As long as John went upstairs and had a look, he would know that what Roslin said was true. If


    Linda tried to defend herself now, it would only make John unhappy.


    "Look how scared you''ve made Linda. How could she remember which clothes she has worn and


    which ones she hasn''t? She has so many clothes." Lucinda held Linda''s hand. When she saw the


    tears in Linda''s eyes, she immediately felt sorry for Linda.

    Chapter 15 Took Back Her Things


    Chapter 15 Took Back Her Things


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Roslin looked at Lucinda coldly.


    This was her mother.


    In her mother''s eyes, Linda was her perfect daughter. Even if Linda showed her scheming and


    vicious side, her mother could always make lots of excuses for Linda.


    No matter what Roslin said, her mother would always believe Linda. In her eyes, Linda was a


    reasonable, noble, and elegantdy.


    What about Roslin?


    As long as Roslin made a small mistake, she would be scolded by her mother.


    In her mother''s eyes, Roslin was a vulgar, uncivilized, and uneducated wicked girl.


    Roslin had experienced too many of these scenes in the past eight years. At first, she was sad and


    upset. Then she became jealous and angry. In the end, all her emotions turned into hatred.


    Anger and hatred made her lose herself and go down the wrong path.


    She started to take everything from Linda.


    People around her looked at her like she was crazy. They only saw Linda''s grievances and how


    hard it was for her in the Smith family. No one realized that those things should have belonged to


    Roslin.


    Roslin just wanted to back what was rightfully hers.


    Perhaps Linda''s fragility and kindness were too charming. All the men around her like her.


    Her adopted elder brother, her nominal fiance, and even her cousin who was like her best friend, all


    secretly loved her.


    Linda was like a heroine in a romantic novel. She didn''t have to do anything, but countless men fell


    for her.


    But Roslin was like the evil supporting character, not only taking away Linda''s identity as the


    daughter of the Smith family but also taking away her happiness and constantly bullying her.


    It was ridiculous.


    The person who took over someone else''s ce could get everyone''s sympathy and pity after


    losing everything.


    While Roslin, the victim, faced everyone''s jealous, envious, disdainful, and even disapproving eyes.


    Shouldn''t she be the one receiving sympathy?


    She had suffered and endured the hardships for Linda for eighteen years, and she only took back


    what was rightfully hers. What was wrong with that?


    Perhaps the mistake was that she shouldn''t havee back and taken what was hers. She should


    have willingly let Linda continue to enjoy them.


    Lucinda turned to Roslin and said, "Linda had good intentions. If you don''t appreciate it, that''s fine.


    But don''t try to sow discord here. Our family won''t tolerate this kind of bad behavior."


    See, it was Linda''s fault, but in the end, it became Roslin''s fault.


    Wasn''t it ridiculous?


    Roslin''s heart had been broken in her past life, so she no longer felt sad now. Roslin calmly looked


    at Lucinda, allowing Lucinda to me her and give a false ount of the facts.


    "Enough." John scolded and took out a card from his bag, handing it to Roslin. "Pick whatever


    clothes you like."


    John nced at Linda and said gently to Roslin, "The daughter of the Smith family doesn''t need to


    wear other people''s old clothes. Don''t save money for me. Buy whatever you want."


    Roslin took the card.


    John and his secretary hurriedly left.


    Only Roslin, Linda, and Lucinda were left in the room, looking at each other. Mary and the other


    servants stayed far away.


    Roslin raised the bank card in her hand and smiled at Linda and Lucinda. "I''m going shopping. You


    can go to the party by yourself. Have fun."


    Her smile was like an invisible p, hitting Linda''s face hard and making Linda feel pain.

    After Roslin left, Lucinda could not help but feel a surge of indignation, her chest heaving up and


    down.


    "What does she mean by this? Is she saying that I mistreat her?"


    "Mom, please don''t me her. She''s just feeling upset at the moment. Once she calms down,


    everything will be fine."


    Lucinda gazed at her gentle and kind-hearted daughter as she found sce in her presence.


    However, she soon sensed the underlying sadness that Linda was desperately trying to hide.


    Lucinda was filled with empathy for her. "Don''t worry, my dear. I''ll provide you with some money.


    You can purchase whatever that brings you joy."


    Contrarily, Roslin departed from the vi and promptly headed straight to the city center with the aid


    of her driver.


    Standing amidst the towering skyscrapers, she gazed at the vast blue sky and beheld the colossal


    buildings. In the midst of it all, the people appeared incredibly diminutive, resembling tiny ants on


    the ground, insignificant inparison.


    How long had it been since shestid eyes on the sunlight outside? A year? Two years? Perhaps


    even longer? The Smith family had shackled her and traded her away to that wicked and depraved


    old man, all in pursuit of enough benefits to expand the Smith Group.


    With the money they gained through her, they arrangedvish properties for Linda and orchestrated


    a grand wedding. The entire family indulged in a world of opulence and extravagance.


    Meanwhile, Roslin had been trapped in a living hell and was devoid of any glimmer of hope.


    Basking in the sunlight, she squinted her eyes to feel the warm and tingling sensation as the sun''s


    rays caressed her body. It let her felt so good.


    Bang.


    A young boy identally bumped into her, causing his ice cream to stter all over her clothes. He


    then tumbled to the ground and started bursting into loud tears.


    The boy''s mother rushed over and swiftly lifted him. Noticing a scrape on his arm, she angrily red


    at Roslin.


    "What''s wrong with you? Can''t you pay attention to your surroundings? Are you blind? Look what


    you''ve done to my son. You''ve hurt him!"


    Roslin lowered her head to observe the ice cream stains on her shirt. She then nced at her son,


    who was responsible for the mishap, and the mother, whocked discernment. A somewhat sinister


    smile yed on her lips.


    She bent down and picked up the remaining ice cream from the ground before approaching the


    boy''s mother.


    "What do you think you''re doing?" The boy''s mother red at Roslin, attempting to intimidate her


    with her piercing gaze.


    Without saying a word, Roslin took the remaining ice cream and smeared it onto the woman''s white


    dress.


    "Ah!" the boy''s mother screamed in terror.


    The piercing sound caught the attention of passersby, causing them to turn their heads and look in


    their direction. As they saw the ice cream-covered individuals and the crying child, they could easily


    infer what had transpired.


    "What''s wrong with you? Not only did you knock down my child and hurt him, but you also dirtied


    my clothes. You have topensate me for my expensive dress!" the boy''s mother yelled


    hysterically.


    Roslin gestured toward a surveince camera a few meters away. "There''s evidence right there. Are


    you absolutely certain that you''re in the right?"


    The boy''s mother''s eyes flickered, and she no longer dared say a word.


    The onlookers seemed to grasp the situation and recognized it as a typical scenario of someone


    trying to shift me through false usations.


    "I feel sorry for your child."


    Leaving behind those words, Roslin turned and walked away.


    The surrounding crowd started whispering and casting judgmental nces at the boy''s mother.


    Overwhelmed with frustration and embarrassment, she resorted to pping her crying child and


    swiftly left with him in her arms.


    Not far from there, a group of smartly dressed elite individuals emerged from a shopping mall. The


    man at the forefront possessed a tall and slender physique,plemented by his strikingly


    handsome features. However, an aura of coldness and seriousness emanated from his


    countenance. His deep gaze swept across the nearby gathering crowd, and his sharp eyes caught


    a momentary glimpse of a familiar figure. Despite his desire to get a closer look, the person had


    already vanished.


    "Mr. Cooper." Ted reminded.


    Ben withdrew his gaze and got into the car.

    The Rolls-Royce slowly drove away.

 Chapter 17 Turning the Tables

    Chapter 17 Turning the Tables


    In the bustling shopping mall, Roslin could not help but draw attention with her clothes stained by


    the ice cream incident. Nheless, she paid no heed to the curious stares and casually strolled


    into a nearby store.


    "Wee." A flicker of surprise momentarily crossed the salesperson''s eyes as she noticed the


    stains on Roslin''s clothes, but her professionalism prevented any inappropriate expression from


    surfacing on her face.


    The salesperson noticed the price range of Roslin''s clothes and rmended it considerably.


    "Madam, we are currently offering a substantial discount in our store. Take a look at this piece. Its


    original price is 720 dors, but now it''s avable for just a little over 405."


    "Which clothes are on sale?" Roslin asked.


    As soon as the salesperson heard that, she knew her marketing strategy had paid off. She promptly


    guided Roslin toward the discount area. "All the items on these racks are currently on sale."


    "What else is on sale?"


    "These items here, and these as well. Over there, you''ll find the new arrivals for this year," she


    added while pointing enthusiastically to another section.


    "Besides these, I''m not interested in white or elegant styles. Please pack everything else for me."


    The salesperson was taken aback and asked hesitantly, "Madam, just to rify, are you saying you


    want all those new arrivals to be packed?"


    "Is there a problem?"


    A bank card was handed to the salesperson.


    Seeing the bank card in front of her, she shook her head repeatedly. "No problem at all."


    Other salespeople turned their heads in their direction upon hearing the conversation, and the


    customers shopping in the discount area also nced at Roslin. She seemed unassuming, yet she


    did something that left everyone astonished.


    "Madam, would you like to change your clothes? Which one would you like to wear?"


    Roslin pointed to the red dress.


    She used to love warm colors, but she hadpromised and started wearing white and elegant


    clothes to cater to Lucinda''s preferences.


    White felt too cold to her.


    On the other hand, red was like sunshine that warmed her heart and brought a hint of warmth to her


    lonely nights.


    As Roslin stepped out of the fitting room, the waiting salesperson stood there frozen while her eyes


    filled with astonishment.


    It was just a simple red dress, yet it exuded a different feeling on her. Its clean lines entuated her


    wless figure while her long hair cascaded gracefully. Under the shimmering lights, her fair and


    delicate features seemed to emit a subtle halo.


    The young girl possessed no extravagant possessions or excessive adornments. Her face


    remained untouched by cosmetics while radiating a natural and youthful glow. Herposed


    demeanor effortlessly emanated a captivating brilliance that demanded attention.


    Whether it was the men eagerly awaiting their partners or the women browsing through clothing


    racks, their gazes would involuntarily linger a few seconds longer upon catching sight of her.


    Especially the men, their eyes would fixate directly on her.


    The salesperson eximed, "Madam, this dress suits you perfectly. It''s as if it was tailor-made for


    you."


    Such words were often repeated by salespeople year after year, but this time it came straight from


    the heart.


    Roslin looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes filled with depth.


    From this day forward, she made a solemn vow to only be herself.


    She vowed to no longer sacrifice herself for the sake of others.


    After settling the payment, Roslin left promptly. As for the clothes she had purchased, she arranged


    for the store to deliver them directly to her home.


    At the same time, Linda was out shopping with a few friends, clutching Lucinda''s constion bank


    card in her hand. One of her observant friends caught sight of a young girl across the street.


    "Look at that girl in the red dress. It looks amazing on her. We should go get one for ourselves too."


    As Linda clearly saw the person, her expression immediately changed.


    "Linda, what''s wrong?" June asked with concern.


    "Do you know that person?"


    Tears welled up in Linda''s eyes as she pulled a few people aside. "Let''s go over there quickly."


    "Who is she?"


    "What are you afraid of?"


    Linda shook her head while biting her lower lip lightly. "Let''s go. If she sees me, I... I''ll..."


    Sarah thought of something. "Could she be the daughter your parents adopted?"


    "A foster daughter dares to bully you. Linda, I don''t mean to criticize you, but you''re too forgiving,"


    June pouted, her sense of justice bursting forth.


    "A kind-hearted person is often taken advantage of. You shouldn''t be like this."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Even a foster daughter dares to step on the head of a proper youngdy. It''s truly an absurdity,"


    Sarah coldly snorted while harboring a deep dislike for Roslin in her heart.


    "Let''s go. We''ll go and confront her."


    The three pulled Linda along and headed straight for Roslin.

    Chapter 18 Poor Losers Don''t Deserve High-end Clothes


    Roslin had already swept through three stores and was currently shopping at the fourth one.


    "These are our newly released designs. They''ll make you look absolutely stunning." The salesgirl


    presented a set of fresh lotus pink-colored girlish dresses."


    "Ugly." Roslin dismissed it with a nce, showing no interest in giving it a second look.


    The salesgirl immediately took off the dress and picked up another set. "How about this one?"


    Roslin took a nce and waved her hand before pointing at the clothes on the hangers. "This one,


    this one, this one... and all the clothes of these styles, I don''t want them. Pack up the rest for me."


    The salesgirl was pleasantly surprised and guessed who she was.


    Just a while ago, someone in their sales group chat mentioned encountering a wealthy heiress who


    was clearing out the entire store. Little did she expect that it was none other than Roslin herself.


    This encounter was a golden opportunity for the salesgirl to break sales records for the month and


    potentially earn a bonus of tens of thousands.


    The salesgirl''s smile grew even brighter. "No problem. Please take a moment to rx in our lounge


    area and enjoy a cup of coffee. I''ll handle everything swiftly for you."


    "Hold on."


    Suddenly, a haughty voice came from behind.


    Roslin''s eyes scanned the approaching group of four individuals, taking in each of them. June,


    Sarah, and Amelia-these three were Linda''s closest friends.


    Every time she had conflicts with Linda, these people would always step forward, defending her and


    fighting on her behalf. Meanwhile, Linda would always hide behind them, portraying herself as


    innocent and kind.


    Well, look at that. This scene was about to unfold once again.


    The salesgirl recognized June. "Miss Williams."


    June spoke to the salesgirl. "We don''t sell clothes in our store to those poor losers. Their presence


    and association with our brand only degrade its reputation."


    Then, she turned to Roslin. "People like you are better off shopping at street stalls. This ce isn''t


    meant for someone like you. Just go far away and don''t taint our ce."


    The girls and men who were browsing nearby overheard these words. Some cast contemptuous


    nces at Roslin, while others frowned disapprovingly.


    Roslin was taken aback to discover the store was owned by June''s family. As she processed this


    information, she also realized that the shopping mall was currently under the ownership of Amelia''s


    family but knew it would be acquired by the Cooper family from Suro City and undergo a change in


    ownership in the future.


    So in Roslin''s impression, the mall belonged to the Cooper family.


    She almost failed to make the transition and realized that she was in a time eight years ago when


    the mall had not yet changed ownership.


    The salesgirl said hesitantly, "Miss Williams, this customer is just about to buy those clothes."


    That was an important sale for her, and she was unwilling to lose it.


    "Has she paid?" June asked with a displeased tone.


    "I was just about to process the payment with her card," the salesgirl hurriedly replied.


    "So, she hasn''t paid." June sneered while finding the salesperson tactless. "Imand you now, do


    not sell the clothes to her. Under our family''s brand, none of our clothes should be sold to her."


    "This..." The salesgirl looked troubled.


    "What''s the matter? Are my words not effective enough? Do I need to invite your manager here?"


    June challenged the salesgirl by directly mentioning the involvement of her manager.


    The salesgirl could only remain silent while seething with anger internally.


    "What did you just say?" Roslin''s voice turned cold.


    Linda nervously stepped forward, her voice eager while maintaining a gentle tone as she attempted


    to persuade, "Rosy, please don''t get angry. June is straightforward and doesn''t intend any harm.


    What she means is that the style of these branded clothes might not suit you well."


    Her disy of fear of angering Roslin instantly infuriated June and the others.


    They couldn''t believe that an orphan who came from the slums would have the audacity to consider


    herself a wealthy heiress and speak to them so arrogantly.


    "Linda, what are you afraid she''ll do?" Amelia stood protectively in front of Linda. To onlookers, it


    would appear as if Roslin was the troublemaker and initiated the conflicts.


    "Our store doesn''t wee you. Poor losers like you can''t embody the true essence of our clothes.


    You should know your ce and stick to the street stall goods that suit you. Even if you were to


    wear luxury brands, like LB, the stench of poverty emanating from you would still be unmistakable."


    "As a consumer, I have the right to buy them unless you remove all the clothes here."


    Juneughed, seemingly mocking Roslin''s ignorance and foolishness. "Let me make it clear today.


    The clothes here aren''t for sale to poor losers like you. If you manage to purchase even a single


    piece of clothing from here, then I''ll admit defeat."


    "Such arrogance. Do you think this mall belongs to your family?"


    Amelia stepped forward while looking down on Roslin as if she were an ant. "Unfortunately for you,


    Sky Mall is owned by my family. Given your poor appearance, you should refrain froming here.


    I fear you might soil the ce with your poverty and contaminate the mall with your poverty-stricken


    aura."


    By the side, Linda silently observed as Roslin was attacked by the crowd. While a sense of


    satisfaction surged within her, she wore an anxious expression and struggled to find her voice.


    "Please don''t do this. Let''s talk it out."


    The man near them observed Linda''s anxious expression and the domineering attitude of Amelia


    and the others. He could not help but sigh while bing convinced that Linda was a genuinely


    kind-hearted girl.


    Suddenly, Roslin pped.


    She walked forward and looked at the two with a smile. "Well said, both of you."


    June and Amelia were stunned, while Linda was confused and unable toprehend Roslin''s


    intention.


    Linda wondered if there was something wrong with Roslin as she appeared strangely delighted


    despite being insulted.


    Roslin reached out and took the bank card from the salesgirl''s hand, leaving the salesgirl feeling


    disheartened. Despite her disappointment, the salesgirl dared not offend June and could only watch


    as this significant order slipped away.


    Roslin''spassionate gaze swept over the three before finally settling on June and Amelia.


    "You''ve made a good friend."


    As she spoke, she walked past Linda.


    Sarah shouted as she watched Roslin''s departing figure, "Just because you entered the Smith


    family doesn''t make you a wealthy heiress. A crow remains a crow, even if it perches on a branch. It


    can never be a phoenix."


    "You''re just a mere adopted daughter. Who do you think you are?"


    Roslin''s footsteps paused, and she turned to look at Amelia. "Adopted daughter?"


    Linda''s heart trembled. She grabbed Amelia and pleaded with teary eyes, "Amelia, stop it."


    Roslin had recently returned and had yet to be formally introduced to the upper-ss society, so


    only a few people were aware of her existence. Therefore, Amelia and the others had heard about


    Roslin solely through Linda.


    The term "adopted daughter" was new to Roslin. In her previous life, she had never encountered


    such a term before.


    Her gaze fixed upon Linda. Linda''s eyes flickered nervously as she avoided eye contact with Roslin


    and tugged at Amelia''s clothes.


    Roslin smiled meaningfully as she looked at Linda. "Adopted daughter?"


    Interesting.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Roslin left with a smile.


    Linda was surprised by how swiftly Roslin left and the fact that she did not expose Linda''s lie.


    Could Roslin really be this kind-hearted?


    Impossible!


    Linda believed Roslin must be hiding some malicious intentions.

    In the eyes of June and the others, Roslin appeared like a fleeing rat. Confused by Linda''s worried


    expression, they asked, "Linda, we humiliated that woman for you. Why aren''t you happy?"


    "June, I''m worried... she might go back andin. If my dad and mom believe her, they''ll me


    me."


    "Your mom and dad love you so much. How could they me you for the words of an outsider?"


    June said naively.


    An outsider?


    Linda was the outsider.

    room flooded Linda''s mind, and she could not suppress the pain and resentment in her heart.


    "You have no idea how much my mom and dad favor her. Sh-she''s staying in my old room now."


    Linda lowered her head as her eyes welled up with tears.


    "What?!"


    "That woman even took your room?"


    "Why didn''t you tell us earlier? If we had known, we wouldn''t have let her go so easily."


    "No need to rush. There''s plenty of time ahead," Sarah said with a sinister tone. "She must be truly


    sick of living to dare to bully my best friend."


    ...


    Meanwhile, as Roslin left the mall, she took out her phone and watched the recorded video. A cold


    smile spread across her face.


    She dialed a familiar number on a public phone, contacting a paparazzi she had worked with


    numerous times in her previous life. However, this time, she chose to remain anonymous and not


    reveal her identity.


    "I''ll send you the video. It''s up to you how you make this incident go viral. I''m offering you 75


    thousand dors for it. I''ll provide an advance payment of 15 thousand, and the remaining amount


    will be paid once the job is done."


    "No problem."


    On that same evening, a secretly recorded video went viral. The video depicted a wealthy heiress


    from a prominent family arrogantly demeaning poor people, iming they were unworthy of wearing


    their family''s branded clothing. Adding to the intrigue, another heiress from a renowned shopping


    mall family shamelessly asserted that the poor would taint their family''s establishment.


    Even though the media pixted the faces of the individuals in the video, it was no match for the


    keen eyes ofizens who swiftly uncovered their identities.


    [This is Sky Mall, owned by the Garcia family in H City. The youngdy of this family sure has a big


    mouth, suggesting that the mere presence of the poor in their mall would be considered


    contamination. Perhaps they should consider putting up a sign at the entrance with their exclusive


    requirements.]


    [What a garbage mall.]


    [Sky Mall has been a long-standing establishment in H City. It''s disheartening to see them hold such


    a contemptuous attitude toward people. It''s quite ironic that they''re profiting from us while harboring


    such derogatory thoughts. That''s *****]


    [I really don''t deserve to wear JL clothes.]


    [I had the impression it was a prestigious brand, but it turned out to be JL. I was considering


    purchasing theirtest collection, but now, haha, it seems my social status doesn''t meet their


    standards.]


    [I was actually considering buying thetest JL collection too. After seeing the news, I''m relieved


    that I didn''t. It would have been so embarrassing if I were publicly exposed. JL is just too high-ss


    for me to afford.]


    [Boycott JL. Boycott Sky Mall.]


    [Yes, let''s boycott them. Let''s see if they''ll still be so arrogant when they lose customers like us.]


    [Agreed. Let''s boycott together.]


    ...


    As the heat and discussions surrounding this incident intensified, the inte became inundated


    with calls for a boycott. Manyizens already harbored resentment toward the wealthy, so the


    audacious and humiliating remarks made by these affluent heiresses further fueled the anger


    among the public.


    Through extensive promotion and dissemination on major online media tforms, the awareness of


    this incident among ordinary people continued to grow.


    Did the poor outnumber the rich in the world, or was it the other way around? The answer was quite


    obvious; it was the former. Even though people were speaking up for the wealthy, their voices were


    drowned out in the condemnation.


    Scrolling through the onlinements, Roslin realized that the impact of the situation was even


    greater than she had anticipated. Content with the oue, she settled onto her bed and drifted


    into a peaceful sleep. A subtle smile yed on her lips as if she could already envision the thrilling


    spectacle that awaited her in her dreams the following day.


    The following morning, as the stock market opened, the Garcia and Williams families witnessed a


    significant decline in their stocks. The downward trend continued, and they were on the brink of


    reaching the limit-down level.


    Upon discovering that the source of the problem stemmed from their children, the CEOs of the two


    companies experienced a surge of anger, and their blood pressure skyrocketed.


    At the Garcia Residence, James pped Amelia. "I never expected you to bring any benefits to the


    family, but can''t you at least use your brain? Do I need to teach you what''s appropriate to say and


    what''s not?"


    Amelia covered her swollen cheek while tears streamed down her face. "Dad, what did I do wrong?"


    As she was met with a sudden p and a barrage of berating, she felt extremely wronged.


    "You feel wronged?" James was furious.


    Natalia hurriedly stepped forward to intervene and spoke gently. "Darling, please tell me what


    mistake Amelia made. Let me take care of her punishment. Please don''t let your anger harm your


    health."


    James gazed at his gentle and virtuous wife, his anger subsiding slightly. "It''s all because you


    spoiled our child, indulging her to the point ofwlessness. Do you realize the trouble she has


    caused?"


    He angrily handed her his phone. "Take a good look for yourself. See what that little troublemaker


    has been saying."


    After reading it, Natalia frowned. Seeing the drastic fluctuations in Garcia Corporation''s stock price,


    she finally understood the reason behind her husband''s anger.


    "What exactly did I say?"


    Amelia could not ept it, so she quickly grabbed the phone from Natalia''s hand and read its


    contents. Her face turned crimson as she scrolled through the viciousments fromizens.


    These were filled with curses targeting her and her entire family for generations.


    Fueled by anger, she could not contain herself and threw the phone before eximing, "Are these


    people insane? I wasn''t criticizing them. I was scolding the Smith family''s adopted daughter. Why


    do they meddle in my affairs?"


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon hearing her daughter''s foolish words, James raised his hand in anger again. So, Amelia


    closed her eyes in fear. However, he caught sight of her swollen cheek and lowered his hand.


    Natalia also pressed his hand back gently. "Calm down. Now isn''t the time to scold our child. The


    key is to minimize the impact of this situation. Darling, how is thepany nning to handle it?"


    After beingforted and analyzed by Natalia, James calmed down.


    "We''ll coborate with the Williams family to delete the negative messages online and suppress the


    news. Minimize the negative impact on the conglomerate."


    Natalia shook her head. "That''s not appropriate."


    "Why?"


    "Amelia''s words have provoked a strong reaction among these individuals. With everyone currently


    furious, hastily deletingments may backfire and allow extremists to seize on this matter. The


    best approach now is to let it be. Netizens have short memories. They''ll naturally forget after some


    time."


    "No, this has had a significant impact. Today, thepany''s stock price has hit the limit-down due


    to this incident. If we don''t handle it promptly, the stock price is likely to continue falling, and the


    shareholders will be furious."


    "Of course, we can''t just leave it as it is. We can divert their attention."


    Natalia looked at Amelia.


    "Tell us what happened between you and the Smith family''s adopted daughter you just mentioned?"

    Chapter 20 Framed


    "What else could it be? She''s just someone who came out of a slum. I don''t know how she


    managed to manipte the Smith family into adopting her. That woman is so arrogant. She thinks


    she''s entitled to be treated as their daughter just because she''s living in their house. And what''s


    even more infuriating is that she somehow convinced the Smith couple to let her stay in Linda''s


    room," Amelia pouted as she defended her good friend.


    At the mention of Roslin, Amelia''s anger red up. She firmly believed all these troubles were


    caused by that wretched Roslin. If it were not for her, none of these issues would have arisen, and


    Amelia would not have ended up being pped.


    Roslin!


    Amelia gritted her teeth as she silently repeated that name in her heart.


    Although she was innocent, straightforward, and devoid of any schemes, the same could not be


    said for her parents.


    They exchanged a nce as they sensed something fishy.


    "Who told you all these things?" Natalia asked.


    "Of course, it''s Linda," Amelia replied. Then, she realized that she might have revealed too much


    about her good friend and hurriedly added, "We noticed that Linda was in a bad mood, so we asked


    her about it. You know how reserved Linda is. She hardly ever talks about these things."


    Natalia shook her head as she looked at her innocent daughter.


    "Let Sona treat your face."


    After sending her daughter away, Natalia turned to James and said, "Lucinda''s personality doesn''t


    seem like someone who would spontaneously adopt a child. She was hesitant to adopt Zed initially.


    It doesn''t add up for her to suddenly adopt a girl out of nowhere."


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    James nodded in agreement.


    He made a phone call. "Gather more information about the adopted girl in the Smith family. Yes, the


    adopted girl. The more details, the better."


    Twenty minutester, the investigation results came back.


    "Our spection was correct. The child they recently adopted is actually the biological daughter of


    the Smith couple, and it appears that Linda was the one mistakenly taken," James exined with a


    sigh.


    They had heard of such incidents before, but it was the first time that someone so close to them had


    witnessed it firsthand.


    Natalia was surprised, and then a realization struck her. "No wonder. Linda didn''t tell Amelia the


    truth."


    With that, Natalia smiled and said softly, "Speaking of which, since this entire situation started


    because of her, we can use her to help resolve the issues between our families."


    "I believe people would find this kind of rare urrence quite intriguing, especially when it takes


    ce within a wealthy family. It''s quite captivating-a girl from a slum taking the ce of the true


    heiress. It''s more thrilling than any TV drama. Don''t you agree, Darling?"


    James embraced his wife and let out a chuckle. "You''re always full of ideas. But what if those


    people online don''t buy into it?"


    "It''s simple. We can allocate some funds to hire a team of inte trolls who can manipte public


    opinion and divert everyone''s attention to this issue. Even if a few people continue to make a fuss


    about our situation, it won''t pose a significant problem."


    In the end, this incident caught both families off guard.


    James gently kissed her forehead. "Go andfort Amelia. I was a bit too harsh earlier."


    "So now you''re feeling sorry for her?" Natalia yfully scolded. "She does deserve to be


    disciplined."


    After finding Amelia, Natalia looked at her swollen face with a mix of pity and anger. "You have to be


    more careful in the future."


    "Even you''re saying that, Mom," Amelia pouted with grievances.


    "Don''t believe everything Linda says in the future. Use your brain."


    As Amelia was still immersed in her sulking, her mother''s words failed to register with her. They


    went in one ear and out the other, and she merely responded with half-hearted words, "Okay, okay,


    I understand."


    ...


    "I finally reached you." Jack sighed in relief. "The online sentiment has shifted, and both families


    should be taking action. If you want the matter to stay in the spotlight, you''ll have to spend money to


    hire inte trolls. Otherwise, you won''t be able to outy the other side."


    While flipping through thetest news that had surfaced, Roslin listened to Jack and calmly


    responded after he finished, "No need. Let''s end this matter here. I''ll transfer the remaining payment


    to you now."


    After hanging up the phone, she took out the SIM card from her mobile phone and threw it into the


    toilet before watching it get flushed away and disappear.


    "Miss, dinner is ready."


    Just as Roslin reached the staircase, a stern shout came from behind.


    "Stop."


    Roslin ignored it and continued walking downstairs.


    Seeing her not stopping, Linda angrily descended. As she reached out to grasp Roslin, she lost her


    bnce and fell forward before smashing heavily onto the floor.


    "Ah!" Linda let out a miserable scream.


    The piercing sound was highly prating and spread throughout the entire vi. Lucinda in the


    living room, John in the study, Mary and others hurried over.


    "What happened?" Lucinda hurriedly approached her daughter on the floor. "Linda, why are you on


    the ground?"


    "What happened? Why all themotion?" John walked down from upstairs and saw Linda sitting


    on the ground, his eyebrows slightly furrowing. "What''s going on?"


    Linda endured the pain with teary eyes. "I''m fine, Mom and Dad. Don''t me Rosy. It was an


    idental fall."


    Instantly filled with anger, Lucinda rushed toward Roslin and raised her hand to p her.


    However, the sound of a p did not resound as Linda had hoped. Instead, she saw Roslin firmly


    gripping Lucinda''s wrist. With a flick, Lucinda staggered back two steps.


    "You''ve gone too far. You pped your sister and now darey a hand on me. Do you still have any


    regard for me as your mother?" Lucinda angrily reprimanded.


    "If you treat me as your daughter, I''ll treat you as my mother. If you don''t, then you''re not my


    mother."


    "You..." Lucinda turned to look at John. "Honey, just listen to the nonsense she''s spewing."


    "Nonsense?" Roslin sneered. "You believe her one-sided words and immediately resort to violence.


    Let me ask you. Have you ever treated me as your daughter? If not, what right do you have to


    speak to me?"


    Linda tried to climb up to intervene. But as soon as she stood up, she fell back heavily. She seemed


    to be in too much pain to get up. Anxious, she eximed, "Mom, it''s not her fault. It was my


    carelessness. Please don''t me her. It''s all my fault. I''m the one to me."


    The more eagerly she admitted to all the usations, the less Lucinda believed her.


    "Honey, just look at Linda and look at her. This girl, who doesn''t even live with us, has developed all


    sorts of bad habits and constantly resorts to lying. If other families were to witness this, what


    reputation would be left for our family?"


    John looked at Roslin. "What''s going on?"


    "Dad, please don''t me Rosy. It''s my fault." Linda hurriedly defended. Her young face had turned


    pale while fine beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead.


    John''s eyebrows furrowed deeply as he felt a pang of heartache. His gaze shifted toward Roslin,


    growing colder and more stern. "Exin yourself."

 Chapter 21 Why Does the Heart Still Hurt

    Chapter 21 Why Does the Heart Still Hurt


    Chapter 21 Why Does the Heart Still Hurt


    If she admitted that what Linda said was true, John and Lucinda would definitely think that she was


    lying.


    This was exactly why the angelic bitch always won.


    To tell the truth, no one would believe it. To tell lies, that would be an indirect confession. Neither


    could wash her off the charge.


    However...


    "As she said, she did see it right and fell down."


    Linda''s eyes shed withcency when she saw the rising anger in John and Lucinda, but it


    was not enough for her.


    "Mom, Dad, see, I told you what I said was true. My sister really didn''t push me. I identally fell


    down. Don''t be angry with her."


    John said in amanding manner, "Apologize to your sister."


    But Lucinda was dissatisfied and added, "No dinner for you tonight. Being hungry can make you


    clear your head and know what to do and what not to do."


    "Indeed, there should be an apology. But it is she who should apologize to me."


    Roslin raised her hand to interrupt when John and Lucinda were just about to lose their temper. She


    said, "Hold on."


    "What else do you want to say?" Lucinda kind of wanted to see what else this damn girl could say.


    Roslin raised her finger to a maid and said, "Come here."


    The maid stepped forward in surprise, and just as she walked in front of Roslin, suddenly, Roslin


    gave her a hard push, and she fell heavily to the ground.


    Everyone around was surprised, and the maid looked at her in shock.


    Roslin looked at John  and asked, "Do you understand now?"


    John was not Lucinda, and how could he not understand now? He looked at Linda coldly.


    His sharp look made Linda shiver. She muttered, "Dad, I..."


    Should he me her?


    No, he couldn''t because she had said that it was her own fault, and they didn''t believe her.


    John looked at Lucinda and said, "Don''t make a fuss when you don''t know what''s going on."


    Lucinda was dumbfounded by his words, "Honey, what do you mean? Do you believe what she


    said? Linda is the one who is hurt now, and you''re still on her side. Didn''t you see what she did just


    now? Look how skilled she was when pushing Marisol.


    John didn''t even want to talk to this idiot.


    Roslin smiled and said, "It is understandable that Mrs. Smith didn''t see it clearly. Don''t be angry."


    Thest sentence was addressed to John.


    "What does it mean?"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    The surrounding maids and even Linda didn''t understand it.


    Roslin pointed to the maid on the ground and said word by word: "See the direction she fell to the


    ground. If I pushed her, after she fell to the ground, she should be in a posture of falling backwards


    because of inertia. Look again at your precious daughter''s posture just now, she was leaning


    forward. I was in front of her, and how could I push her from behind?"


    Lucinda was stunned, but reacted quickly and asked, "Linda, did she push you from behind?"


    What Roslin said just now startled Linda. She really didn''t think about it, but Lucinda''s words came


    to the rescue. That little bitch almost got away with it.


    "Mom, Roslin didn''t push me from behind." While speaking, she gasped in pain, which immediately


    made Lucinda''s heart ache. She looked at Roslin with more dissatisfaction.


    Roslin''s slightly lowered eyes shed a hint of smugness.


    She was ready to see how they would defend themselves now.


    Roslin rested her chin on one hand, blinked her big eyes, and said leisurely, "Oh, this is very


    difficult. Everyone seems to be reasonable. But... it is different between pushing you from the back


    and from the front. Especially, judging from the ce where she fell, it can be seen that the person


    who pushed her behind must be standing on the stairs. The injury caused by falling from the stairs


    is different from that on the t ground. Just check it and it will be clear."


    "Good sister, please show us your injured arm and leg."


    Linda was terrified. Seeing Roslin''s confident look, she felt guilty, and when she looked at Roslin,


    her eyes were evasive..


    "Linda, show Mommy your injury," Lucinda said softly.


    "Mom, I really fell down by myself. Why don''t you believe it?" Linda said a little angrily.


    John was not Lucinda. Seeing the difference in Linda''s attitude before and after, how could he not


    understand what was going on? Seeing Linda''s face pale with pain, the displeasure in his heart also


    disappeared.


    "Okay, let''s eat. Send the doctor overter." John put an end to this farce.


    As for Linda''s attempt to frame, the couple did not mention a single word, let alone punish Linda,


    not even a verbal reprimand.


    This was her biological parents, who could not see her being wronged. They could only see the


    injury of Linda.


    Seeing the three leaving, Roslin''s lips raised a sneer.


    It was just...


    Her hand gently pressed into her heart, wondering why it was still so painful and so ufortable.


    Why did it still hurt when she didn''t care?


    Seeing how alone Roslin was, Mary sighed in her heart and said softly, "Miss, please have your


    dinner. Everything will be all right in the future."


    Would it?


    No, not as long as Linda was around.


    Roslin looked at the maid she had pushed down and said, "Give me your credit card number, or


    your Paypal ount."


    The maid didn''t understand what Roslin was going to do but obediently did what she asked for.


    Roslin paid and directly turned to leave, not saying a single word.


    After she left, the maid gave a cry of surprise, and then her face was full of surprise.


    Another maid came forward and took a close look, eyes full of envy.


    Just now, everyone felt that she was unlucky, being pushed for no reason. They also thought that


    Miss Roslin was too domineering. But seeing that she was paid 3500 dors, they all wished that


    they were the ones being pushed.


    "All right, get out of here and get to work," said Mary.


    Just now,  she was thinking of helping Miss Roslin to clear her name, but now it seemed that she


    didn''t need to. Roslin was more thoughtful than herself.


    To these little girls, the word "sorry" was less sincere and less endearing than real money.


    On the table, Linda looked at Roslin from time to time, hoping to see anger from her face.


    Unfortunately, there was nothing.


    Good for her!


    "Roslin, you will go to Masafield School with Linda next week. Ask Linda when you get confused."


    While saying this, John turned to Linda and said, "Take care of your sister in school."


    "All right, Dad," Linda responded sweetly.


    Roslin replied with a light nod.


    On the second floor of the corridor, Linda blocked her in the middle and asked, "Are you behind the


    things on the inte?"


    Roslin directly knocked her away and walked by her side. Suddenly, she stopped and whispered in


    her ear, "I forgot to tell you one thing. When I said on the stairs that you could judge the direction of


    the injury by your injury, I was lying. I can''t believe you actually believed it."


    Linda stared straight, and her teeth crackled out of anger when she saw Roslin leave, who was


    smiling.


    The little bitch!


    Damn it, damn it, damn it!

 Chapter 22 Lucindas Scold

    Chapter 22 Lucinda''s Scold


    Chapter 22 Lucinda''s Scold


    As soon as the phone rang, Sarah''s name jumped on the screen.


    "Sarah." Linda''s voice was still gentle and sweet.


    "Why did you lie to us?" Sarah asked angrily.


    "Sarah, why can''t I understand what you said?"


    "Who is Roslin?" Sarah said in a deep voice.


    Linda''s heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition, asking, "Have you heard someone


    say anything?"


    Hearing the sobs in Linda''s voice, Sarah, who was furious on the other end of the phone, couldn''t


    bear to continue to question her.


    "You should check it out on the Inte yourself. I think everyone in H City knows what''s going on


    about your family now."


    After hanging up the phone, Linda hurriedly checked thetest news online. Seeing the headline on


    Facebook and other major mainstream media about the true and false daughter of the Smith family,


    her heart sank to the bottom instantly, and a sense of shame spread all over her body. She would


    rather evaporate than face the ridicule and pity of outsiders.


    Everyone in the upper circles of H City should know it, and those people in the school must know it


    too. Linda felt ashamed and angry at the thought of her having to face all kinds of strange looks


    from everyone.


    Roslin, why did youe back? Why did youe to take away my identity and my things?


    It was all her fault. She was the one who put her in such an embarrassing situation.


    "Roslin!" Linda put on a ferocious face, her eyes full of resentment.


    The next day, Roslin learned from the servant that Linda was ill and had a persistent high fever,


    which made Lucinda very anxious. After the family doctor checked on her, Lucinda stayed by her


    side and never left her.


    Mary reminded Roslin, "Miss, will you go and see Miss Linda?"


    She must have known the news on the Inte, otherwise, how could she be so sick? Of course,


    she should show care to her good sister in such circumstances.


    "Yeah, I''ll go after dinner."


    Seeing that her suggestion worked, Mary smiled gratifiedly.


    After a whole night''s nursing, Lucinda rose to rage when she walked to the dining hall and saw


    Roslin sitting there and eating as if nothing had happened.


    She stepped forward and snatched the bowl from Roslin''s hand and threw it directly on the ground,


    sshing hot porridge all over Roslin. Then, she swept all the food on the table to the ground.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Do you still have any conscience? Linda is still sick, and you are here, eating breakfast peacefully,"


    Lucinda said angrily.


    Conscience?


    There was a smile on Roslin''s lips and a trace of sadness in her eyes.


    In her previous life, when she first entered school, she was teased and pushed into the lotus pond


    by Linda''s admirer, which gave her a persistent high fever. Where was she at that time? She was


    with Linda in the shopping mall.


    She still remembered that she stood at the window and watched the two get off the car arm in arm,


    talking andughing.


    At that time, did she ever think about her in the hospital bed?


    Where was her conscience at that time?


    Her eyelids drooped slightly, but the pain on the back of her hand where it was scalded by the hot


    porridge couldn''tpare to the chill and pain in her heart.


    When she raised her eyes, all her emotions subsided, and she stared at her indifferently and said,


    "Is it only right for me to be sick too when she is sick? Is it only right that I should be buried with her


    when she dies?"


    When Mary and others came and saw the mess on the ground and the two in confrontation, each of


    them was silent.


    "How can you be so vicious, cursing your sister to die? Is it in your heart that you wish for her to


    die?" Lucinda became angrier as she spoke, and her look on Roslin became more and more


    distasteful.

 Chapter 23 Living in Grievance for More Than A Decade

    Chapter 23 Living in Grievance for More Than A Decade


    Chapter 23 Living in Grievance for More Than A Decade


    "What has ever Linda done that harms you, making you curse her like this?"


    What has Linda done?


    Is it true that she really didn''t know, or just pretended not to know?


    Linda enjoyed the family love, warmth, and happiness that should belong to her.


    But she endured all the pains of coldness, starvation, trampling, and so on for Linda.


    Even if the truth came to light, Linda was still the most beautiful youngdy of the Smith family,


    while she was just the second youngdy of the Smith family who had no manners, no


    understanding of etiquette, and was not weed.


    In the previous life, when everyone was praising Linda, who would have thought that she was


    actually the real eldestdy of the Smith family?


    Every day Linda was in the Smith family, everyone would subconsciouslypare her with Linda.


    Theypared someone who was educated by noble elites with someone who did not have


    enough food and clothing every day and relied on begging and charity from good-hearted people


    since childhood in etiquette, talent, and everything else.


    Was this fair? !


    Although she lived in a slum, she was still a human being, a flesh-and-blood person with self-


    respect and temper. But they trampled on thest trace of her dignity like that.


    They never cared whether she would be sad or embarrassed.


    They never thought about why she couldn''tpare to Linda.


    They only saw how good Linda was, but none of them had seen what kind of life she lived for more


    than ten years.


    What did she have topare with her? And how was it her ce topete?


    Whenever she did not do as well as Linda, Lucinda would show a disappointed expression to her,


    as if saying, "You are a real Smith, but you are not as good as Linda."


    "My dear mother, do you know that when Linda was ying the expensive piano in a warm house, I


    was washing dishes for others in the bitterly cold snow? Even though my hands got swollen and


    breached because of the coldness and my face got pale because of the pain, I still dare not bezy


    or stop working because I want to live. I just want to live."


    "Do you know that when Linda was happily eating delicacies, I was so hungry that I could only


    rummage in the trash can for food,peting with wild dogs for food?"


    "Do you know that when all of you were fussing over Linda''s one little sneeze, I was lying in the


    snow with a high fever, and no one cared about me?"


    "If it wasn''t for my fate, I would have turned into a pile of dust by now."


    In every day of her previous life, she just wanted to live, and her biggest daily wish was to have


    enough food and warm clothes, nothing more.

    Being like this, what ce was she in topare with Linda, who has been carefully nurtured and


    loved?


    For more than ten years, she had endured the pain and suffering that should belong to Linda.


    Should she hate it?


    Should shein?


    Should she be angry?


    Now her biological mother was actually pointing at her nose and scolding her for having no


    conscience. Did she really have to be grateful to the person who has upied her life?


    Thank her for allowing herself to taste all the pain, all the suffering?


    Sorry, she couldn''t do it.


    Looking at the furious Lucinda in front of her, there was a hint of mockery on the corner of her lips.


    This was her biological mother, who ced her neither in her eyes nor heart.


    She didn''t ask for being treated nicely, and she just wanted her to be fair, even a little bit. She


    couldn''t even make such a small wishe true.


    Since she didn''t treat herself as her daughter, it was better to treat her as a stranger with the same


    blood.


    "Whatever I said that makes you think is me cursing her to die, then just take it as my curse. As long


    as you are happy, that''s fine," Roslin said indifferently.

    Her attitudepletely provoked Lucinda, and she raised her hand towards her cheek.


    Roslin grabbed her hand and said coldly, "I didn''te back for you to p me in the face."


    Roslin threw her hand violently, and Lucinda''s body got unsteady and hit the dining table heavily,


    causing her great pain.


    Roslin didn''t even look at her and left the dining hall.


    Mary stepped forward to help Lucinda up and said, "Mrs. Smith, you have misunderstood Miss


    Roslin. She just said that she would go upstairs to see Miss Linda."


    "Mary, she is just putting on a show. She is ming us and ming Linda." Lucinda''s well-groomed


    face was full of grievances and resentment.


    "How could Miss. Roslin not me you!"


    "You talk about Linda all the time, putting her first in everything and defending her everywhere. How


    could Miss Roslin feel at ease? Miss Roslin is the flesh that fell from your body after all, and you


    treat her like this. It is really too much."


    "s, after all, the rtionship bonded by blood could not match that by daily caring."


    Mary sighed in her heart. She knew that Mrs. Smith didn''t want to hear these words, so she


    wouldn''t say them.


    "I was too impulsive just now. You go and bring her some food."


    Mary felt a little relieved when she heard Mrs. Smith say this, feeling that Mrs. Smith still had Miss.


    Roslin in her heart, and she hoped that Roslin could understand.


    Masafield School was the most prestigious institution of higher learning in H City, but there was


    another name for it. People also called it the aristocratic school for its international elite teaching


    and annual tuition fees as high as million, which was not affordable for ordinary families.


    However, every year, the school would recruit a group of ordinary students with excellent character


    and learning, granting them not only full exemption of tuition and misceneous fees but also


    additional subsidies and schrships.


    Stepping into this school again, Roslin felt as if she was in another life.


    Among the studentsing and going around, many of them noticed the gorgeous girl standing on


    the boulevard, who was as beautiful as a blooming rose.


    She closed her eyes, feeling the smell of corruption on this campus disguised by the blooming


    flowers, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.


    "Dear schoolmates, I, Roslin, am back again."


    "This time, I will definitely y with you guys."


    At this moment, there was amotion from behind, and the girls'' scream and the boys'' discussion


    could be vaguely heard.


    "OMG, Xander is here."


    "Xander is so cute."


    "I really want to be his girlfriend."


    "Well, don''t even think about it. He is Linda''s fianc¨¦."


    "Well, Linda is not even a Smith. Then she is not Xander''s fianc¨¦e."


    "Don''t forget that there is also a genuine daughter of the Smith family."


    "That woman? God, please stop. I heard that that woman has been living in the shack area in the


    western suburbs. Women whoe from that ce are not even worthy of carrying shoes for our


    Xander."


    "I heard that the women who live there are not clean, and they are all engaged in that kind of dirty


    business. Do you think that Smith girl is also that kind of person?"


    "I think it is probably."


    "I heard that girl will be studying in our school this year. The thought of being a ssmate with such


    a dirty girl is disgusting."


    "Speaking of which, Linda is really pitiful. She used to be a dignified youngdy of the Smith family,


    but now she has be an adopted daughter. On the contrary, that kind of dirty woman has


    be a realdy."


    "A fancy gown doesn''t make a princess. It''s a pity that Linda, such a good person, has to go through


    such a cruel thing. I really feel sorry for her."


    ...


    Listening to the discussions of the people around, starting from Xander and then to her. Roslin''s


    expression remained the same as usual. There were even a few people pouring dirty water on her


    body, and it also didn''t arouse her anger at all.


    She just found it a little ridiculous.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.

    "Linda is pitiful?"


    "Is she so pitiful because she has only enjoyed the glory and wealth for more than ten years, and


    that she can continue to enjoy them for the rest of her life?"


    "And do I deserve to have my life taken over by her? Do I deserve to suffer for her?"


    She was just taking back things that belonged to her, but people were talking like she had stolen


    them.


    How ridiculous.


    They felt sorry for Linda for losing her title as the biological daughter of the Smith family, but they


    never thought about what she had lost.


    Over the years, what she had lost was not only family but also superior education, etiquette, etc.


    These were things that could not be measured by money.


    Linda lost nothing, except that she lost the title of the biological daughter of the Smith family, nothing


    else.


    Compared with Linda, who was exactly the biggest winner?


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Looking at the faces and listening to the gossip of these people, Shi JinRoslin felt both ridiculous


    and sorry for them.


    The ridiculous thing was their selective blindness.


    The sad thing was that in her previous life, in order to please her parents, she obeyed Lucinda''s


    request, allowing anyone in the school to talk ill of her. She just kept forbearing and suppressing her


    anger, which let these people push forward and bully her even harder.


    In this life, she wouldn''t bear it anymore.


    Roslin looked at the crowd not far away and Xander surrounded by them like a prince in a fairy tale


    world, and then looked at the screaming and excited boys and girls around him, her cold eyes


    extraordinarily cold.


    Whoever bullied her and humiliated her in the previous life, she would seek revenge in this life, and


    no one could escape.


    Roslin withdrew his gaze, turned, and left the noisy ce.


    Turning into a tree-lined path, walking halfway, a girl wearing a white T-shirt and jeans stood in front


    of her, her clear face full of anxiety.


    "Hey, wait a moment." Ryn nervously called out to the beautiful and temperamental girl in front,


    feeling uneasy in her heart, for fear that she would be unhappy.


    She had heard that the students in Masafield College were all rebellious and very difficult to speak


    to.


    She didn''t want to disturb anyone, but she realized that the registration was almost over. If she


    missed it, the school would cancel her admission qualification.


    And her parents wouldn''t forgive her for this.


    Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Roslin stopped, turned around slowly, and looked at the


    uneasy girl in front of her with a half-smile.


    Surprises were everywhere. She didn''t expect that the first person she met here was her best friend


    Ryn who grew up together with her.


    That best friend who ate her food, used her things, and had been hiding under her wings.


    She would never forget what she did thest time she saw her.


    In her previous life, when she learned that the Smith family was going to give her to a well-known


    old pervert in H City, she tried her best to escape.


    All alone in this world, she found Ryn and begged her to give her a sum of money to help her leave


    H city.


    However, although agreeing verbally, she gave her location to the Smith family in a blink of an eye.


    When people from the Smith family came to take her away, she stood aside and said aggrievedly,


    shedding crocodile tears, "Roslin, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith are your parents, and they will not harm


    you. Look, although your face is ruined, they found a rich man for you, which shows that they still


    love you very much. You are blinded by jealousy and cannot see their goodness. As a child, how


    can you me your parents? You are my friend, and I don''t want to see you go astray."

 Chapter 26 Best Friend in Her Previous Life

    Chapter 26 Best Friend in Her Previous Life


    Chapter 26 Best Friend in Her Previous LifeIt was obvious that Ryn knew that the so-called rich


    man was a pervert old enough to be Roslin''s grandfather. She also knew that that old pervert had


    tortured more than a dozen women to death and that Roslin would suffer the same fate if the Smith


    family sent her there.


    But Ryn still dared to pretend to be so thoughtful and pushed Roslin right over the edge as if she


    were doing this for her own good.


    This was the best friend Roslin grew up with. When she was most helpless, Ryn stabbed her in the


    back and pushed her into the abyss without hesitation.


    In her previous life, Roslin covered all the expenses when Ryn''s parents were ill and had to stay in


    the hospital. Even when Ryn got bullied at Masafield, Roslin stood out to help her stop it.


    When Ryn was hurt by a scumbag, Roslin also stood up for her.


    Roslin paid for everything whenever Ryn got no money for food, clothes, or school activities.


    Under Roslin''s protection, Ryn''s life was even much better than many rich second generations.


    Roslin believed that she did nothing wrong to Ryn, but she never thought that Ryn could be cruel to


    her.


    At that time, Roslin had no clue why Ryn treated her like this.


    It was onlyter that she realized that Ryn had been jealous of her all along. In Ryn''s eyes, she


    should live in hell like her, but Roslin got lucky and actually became the daughter of the Smith


    family.


    For this ridiculous reason, their years of rtionship from childhood to adulthood were gone.


    Perhaps, they never were true friends. Ryn was only using her all the time.


    Roslin hated Linda, but she hated Ryn who was ungrateful even more.


    Roslin hated people who betrayed her and be ungrateful the most, while Ryn had both.


    In this life, she would love to see if Ryn can afford to wear beautiful clothes and whether she could


    still live in her element in Masafield without her protection and help.


    After Ryn saw the personing, her face was full of surprise, and she immediately stepped


    forward, saying in surprise, "Rosy! My God, I really didn''t expect to see you here."


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    After feeling surprised, Ryn soon noticed the clothes Roslin was wearing. She then asked in


    surprise, "I heard that you were taken away by your own parents and thought I would never see you


    again. I didn''t expect to see you here. I am so happy. It''s great that we''ll be in the same school


    again."


    Ryn seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Rosy, what do your parents do? They must


    be so powerful since they can send you to Masafield, right?¡±


    She stepped forward to hold Roslin''s arm, but Roslin avoided it briskly.


    Ryn didn''t get to hold her and then looked at her with a sad face after feeling amazed.


    "Rosy, are you still mad at me? If it''s possible, I would rather give you this spot than see you get


    distant from me." Ryn bit her lower lip aggrievedly, "Please don''t be mad at me, okay?"


    Roslin said calmly, "Aren''t you going to report to the office of academic affairs?"


    She raised her hand and nced at the time, "If you don''t go now, you will bete. I heard that there


    are many rules in Masafield. If you arete on the first day, you may be dismissed."


    Only then did Ryn remember that she still had something important to do.


    "I''ll be leaving then. I''lle back to youter."


    Looking at Ryn who was leaving, Roslin also leisurely went to that office in the opposite direction to


    Ryn.


    The moment Roslin approached the office, she heard the dean of students scolding from the crack


    in the door.


    "What''s the problem with you? Do you have any sense of time? Do you consider Masafield your


    home so you cane here whenever you want?"

    "Then you should havee here earlier since you know you don''t have a good sense of


    direction."


    Her exnation didn''t make Leonard less angry, but he was scolding her even harder.


    "You''re indeed a slum kid, not educated at all. Do you think Masafield is the same as the crappy


    school you used to go to?"


    "Sorry, I''m sorry." Ryn lowered her head and kept apologizing, eyes filled with grievances.


    At this moment, the office door was pushed open, startling the two people in the room, and they


    turned their heads in unison.


    After seeing that it was Roslin, Ryn was more than surprised. Thinking of being spotted by Roslin in


    such a mess, she felt ashamed and also indignant. But she soon realized that Leonard might be


    also irritated by Roslin, and the shame and anger in her heart vanished immediately.


    Leonard just wanted to tell Roslin off, but when he spotted this girl in front of him wearing famous


    brand clothes and a watch worth hundreds of thousands of dors, he swallowed his words.


    "You are?"


    "Roslin Cook." Leonard was taken aback, staring at the girl in front of him in shock.


    Despite the fact that this girl has just been brought back home, with her great charisma, she looked


    nothing like a poor kid living in the slum, but like a carefully-cultivated youngdy who had been


    raised in a rich and powerful family.


    The Smith family was a well-known family in H City, of which Roslin was the eldest daughter, so


    Leonard wouldn''t dare to show her any disrespect.


    Speaking of which, Leonard was quite a snob, notorious for treating people discriminatorily in


    school. He never dared to offend the rich and powerful second-generation or kids of military


    families. But for those students from ordinary families, he would scold them whenever he wanted.


    He was truly mean, but he was highly valued for no other reason than he knew how to suck up to


    people.


    In the previous life, with Roslin protecting Ryn, Leonard never treated Ryn badly. Starting today,


    Roslin decided to let Ryn taste the life that should have belonged to her.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Leonard then came back to his senses, and said with enthusiasm, "Roslin,e and have a seat."


    Without hesitation, Roslin walked past Ryn, sat on the sofa, and looked at Ryn standing there with a


    calm face.


    Ryn didn''t expect such an oue. She thought that Leonard might target Roslin instead, but she


    didn''t know that he was so snobbish.


    "Rosy." Ryn looked at her aggrievedly with watery eyes.


    Leonard was taken by surprise. "You two know each other?"


    Ryn immediately replied, "Yes, Rosy and I have been good friends since we were kids."


    The way Leonard looked at Ryn changed instantly. He even smiled at her.


    Seeing the drastic change in Leonard''s attitude, Ryn knew that she was doing it right. With the


    support of Roslin, those people would not dare to bully her.


    "Don''t bete again, okay?" Leonard said kindly.


    Ryn was overjoyed, nodding obediently, "I won''t do it again."


    The two of them were talking in a good mood when a cold voice interrupted them. "Mr. White, I don''t


    really know her."


    Ryn''s expression had changed before she looked at Roslin in disbelief. Her eyes were wide open as


    if she couldn''t believe what Roslin had just said.


    Leonard was taken aback for a moment. After that, he felt the anger of being deceived, and the


    person who deceived him was actually an ordinary student whom he had always looked down


    upon.


    Noticing the sudden change in Leonard''s expression, Ryn panicked.

    Chapter 28 Regret in the Previous Life


    Chapter 28 Regret in the Previous Life"Rosy, how could you do this to me? We have been good


    friends since we were kids," Ryn''s voice choked with tears, full of grievances.


    "I remember you love taking advantage of me since I was a kid. You don''t need to remind me. "


    "How... how could you say that? You''re the one who offered to help me." Ryn defended herself


    hurriedly, afraid that Leonard would believe Roslin''s words.


    Roslin sneered and didn''t respond. She raised her eyes and looked at Leonard. "Mr. White, I don''t


    have much time."


    Leonard was not a fool. Looking at the two of them, he could certainly tell that they weren''t friends


    at all. They might even have a grudge against each other.


    "Damn it, I was almost fooled by that slum kid." Leonard thought to himself.


    Suppressing the anger ofshing out, he turned to Roslin with a smile while handing her the files.


    "I''ll send someone to bring you over now."


    Leonard immediately made a phone call.


    Ten minutester, the office door was pushed open.


    Roslin''s eyes got misty the moment she caught sight of the refined young man wearing framed


    sses in front of her. In Masafield School, the one who showed the greatest kindness towards her


    was none other than Lucas Jones, her teacher.


    He was a young and handsome teacher with a deep enthusiasm for his job and all his students, but


    in his third year of teaching, a scandal about him was exposed.


    Faced with usations andints from all sides, the school dismissed him, putting an end to


    his career, which also burdened him with huge debts.


    At that time, Roslin didn''t believe he would do such a thing, but when confronted with conclusive


    evidence, it was impossible to deny.


    It wasn''t until many years after graduation that Roslin stumbled upon a conversation between Linda


    and the girl who was the victim that she learned the truth about that time.


    Lucas never did that kind of thing, all of which was their false usation.


    Their purpose was simple, which was to retaliate against Lucas.


    They tried to frame Roslin several times, but Lucas saw through them and also gave them a lesson.


    Lucas was righteous and never afraid of power, but in the eyes of Linda and others, they believed


    he deliberately leaned towards Roslin.


    Hence, they were displeased and set a trap for Lucas, causing him to end his career. To pay off the


    debt caused by a crime he didn''tmit, Lucas worked three part-time jobs a day and died in a car


    ident while delivering takeout on a rainy night.


    Even though Roslin had nothing to do with this, Lucus died because of her.


    This was the saddest thing for her.


    In her life philosophy, she must repay people''s kindness and also have her revenge.


    Some people might think that as a teacher, it was his job to not associate with evil people and be


    righteous. However, for Roslin, she would always remember people that were good to her. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It was not either ck or white in this world, and not everyone could do as Lucas did. If Lucas were


    like Leonard who knew how to change his act ording to circumstances and only prioritize his


    own profit, he would not have died.


    This was the reason why Roslin found it hard to get rid of this. She couldn''t make peace with this


    past.


    As she saw Lucas standing in front of her alive again, Roslin''s eyes became moist.


    She would never let such a tragedy happen again in this life, nor would she let him face the


    miserable fate again.


    Lucas looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, finding the way she looked at him a bit strange, but


    before he thought much of it, he heard Leonard''s instructions.


    "Mr. Jones, this is Roslin Cook. She''s just transferred to your ss. You need to look out for her. If


    she can''t keep up, you can help make up for her study. "


    Leonard finished speaking to Lucas and then turned to Roslin kindly. "If you have any problem, feel


    free toe to us."


    Lucas nodded and left the office with Roslin.


    The second they left, the office once again came Leonard''s roar. Roslin could tell that Ryn was


    lectured by him seriously.

    Apart from students especially recruited, most of the students automatically got into Masafield from


    the main school. They would be new studentsing every year, but not so many.


    Roslin was taken to Lucas''s ss. As she walked into the ssroom, all the students were just


    chatting with their friends. After the two of them entered the room, everyone''s eyes fell on the


    delicate and slender girl behind Lucas.


    "Wow, this girl looks so pretty. Why haven''t I seen her before? Did she transfer from another school


    abroad?"


    "Do any of you know her?"


    "I don''t know her."


    "I''ve never heard of any rich girl in H City going to be transferred here today."


    "I don''t think she''s from H City. Maybe shees from another city."


    "This girl is even more beautiful than Selena Hilton. She might be able to beat her and be the


    prettiest girl in school."


    "This semester, our school seems to have specially recruited another group of top students. Maybe


    she is one of them?" Some people thought.


    "That''s impossible. Those kids are from ordinary families. Look at her clothes. It''s obvious that she''s


    not a poor kid," someone retorted.


    "s, does the school think that we are so terrible, so they keep recruiting superior students?"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Hahaha! Our ss is really the worst ss after all these years. For the sake of the graduation rate


    and reputation, the school has to recruit more nerds that study hard."


    One could tell from their discussion that they did not care about the teacher on the tform at all.


    These rich young girls and boys were incredibly arrogant in school.


    "Be quiet." Lucas raised his voice, and the noisy ssroom finally quieted down. Everyone was


    waiting for his introduction.


    "She''s new to our ss, and we will study together in the future. Roslin, please introduce yourself."


    Lucas turned to look at the girl behind him.


    Roslin stepped forward and looked at the familiar and innocent faces. There was a faint smile on


    her delicate face, which seemed meaningful.


    She picked up the chalk on the podium, turned around, and swiftly wrote her name on the


    ckboard, "Roslin Cook."


    After she finished writing, she threw the chalk and tossed it right into the box. The whole process


    was handsome and smooth, causing the students who loved to make a scene to give waves of


    cheers.


    Lucas couldn''t help asking when he saw her standing there without speaking, "Aren''t you going to


    say something?"


    "No need. That''s enough."


    Lucas did not force her and then looked around the ssroom. In the end, his gaze fell on thest


    row by the window. This sort of seat was usually for those who couldn''t be provoked in the ss.


    "Then you can take a seat..." Lucas nced at the beautiful girl and asked other students, "Is there


    any boy who is willing to swap seats with Roslin?"


    "It''s okay. I''ll take the seat."


    As she spoke, she walked straight down the podium.


    Everyone''s eyes followed her. When they saw that she really took that seat, many people gasped.


    As they looked at her, some of them admired her, some gloated, and some were ready to watch a


    good show.


    When Lucas saw that she had sat down, he eximed in his heart, thinking that this girl was truly


    fearless. However, when he thought of Leonard''s instructions, he said to Roslin, "If you have any


    problems, you can talk to me."


    "Yes, Mr. Jones."


    "Alright, calm down, everyone. Focus on your studies," Lucas said as the students still continued to


    do what they were doing.


    The boy sitting in front of her turned his head and lowered his voice. "Do you know who is sitting


    next to you?"

    Roslin didn''t say anything, but the boy didn''t mind. However, he couldn''t wait to say, "Let me tell


    you, the one sitting next to you is a well-known bully in Masafield. His father is the boss of H City.


    You should never offend him. Once you''re targeted by him, you''ll only be expelled from school.


    Seeing that she didn''t have much reaction, the boy was full of disappointment. He assumed that she


    would be so scared that her face might turn pale.


    "Aren''t you afraid?"


    She asked calmly, "Does he have superpowers?"


    The boy was stunned and then shook his head.


    "Does he look fierce?"


    The boy continued to shake his head.


    "Then why should I be afraid of him?" she retorted.


    The boy was stunned and speechless for a moment. He even felt that what she said indeed made


    sense.


    A few people around had been paying attention to the two of them, so they naturally heard the


    conversation between them. In the end, they came to the same conclusion that the new girl was


    quite special.


    After ss, several girls next to Roslin gathered around.


    "Roslin, what do your parents do?"


    They were all from rich families, so they could certainly tell that Roslin came from a good family.


    After asking about her family background, they would know how to get along with her and whether


    they should be friends with her.


    "John Smith, chairman of the Smith Group, is my father."


    The students around were all dumbfounded.


    Cecelia covered her mouth in surprise. "You''re Linda''s younger sister."


    Roslin did not respond.


    Sister?


    That girl didn''t deserve to be her sister.


    Before school started, all the students knew the matter about the daughter in the Smith family. They


    also knew that she used to live in a slum in the western suburbs. They were all quite curious about


    this real daughter living outside the family, but they never thought that she would be their


    ssmate.


    With the support of John Smith, they wouldn''t dare to bully Roslin tantly, but they disdained to be


    friends with her. After all, they believed the ce where she used to live was not a good ce.


    Just a moment ago, the crowd had been gathering around her with enthusiasm, but in the blink of


    an eye, everyone dispersed.


    "I didn''t expect that Linda''s sister and I would be in the same ss. What bad luck."


    "I heard that she had done some dirty jobs before she returned to the Smith family."


    "Don''t get too close to her. She might have some disease. It will be terrible if we are infected by


    her."


    "I was so close to her just now, and now I feel dirty all over. I want to go back home and take a


    shower."


    Someone nced at Roslin who seemed quiet and could not help but say, "Don''t say that. She


    might not have done that kind of thing."

    "Tsk, don''t be too naive. She''s just a little girl, and she''s so beautiful. How can those people not be


    tempted when she lives alone in the slum where there are all kinds of people?"


    "That''s right."


    ...


    This was the girls'' discussion.


    As for the boys, it was totally different.


    "Damn, she''s actually my goddess''s younger sister."


    "She stole the happy life of my goddess. No matter how good-looking she is, I hate her."


    "I heard that she is really fuckable. Are you interested in gettingid?"


    "She''s so beautiful and also from the Smith family. If I can hook up with her, it''ll be good to fool


    around with her for a few days. It isn''t easy to hook up with Linda. Maybe her sister will do."


    They didn''t try to hide anything in their talks. Their voices were so loud that Roslin couldn''t pretend


    not to hear them.


    In her previous life, they were just like this, mocking and ndering her unscrupulously.


    If it weren''t for the fact that she was certain that this was the first time she had met them, she would


    have suspected that she had offended these people so they would specte and attack her with


    sheer malice.


    At that time, she didn''t want to cause trouble for her parents. She didn''t want them to think that she


    was vulgar, so she endured it.


    This time, she would not bear it anymore.

    On some asions, she should teach someone who needs to learn a lesson. If she remained


    silent, it would only make those shitheads go over the border.


    Roslin stood up and slowly walked toward the boy who was talking nasty stuff about her.  At this


    moment, he was bragging about his ns on ying with Roslin.


    Sensing someone approaching, he turned his head to the side, and when he just realized the girl


    who was standing in front of him, thetter kicked over the table in front of him. With a loud bang,


    the books were scattered all over the floor. The boy was too shocked to confront her.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "I''m standing right in front of you. Wanna try what you said earlier about me?" said Roslin while


    staring at him.


    The boy gulped and shook his head, refusing her offer. It happened so quickly that everyone was


    dumbfounded.


    Roslin stepped directly over him and walked to the group of girls who were sitting on the opposite


    side. Those girls were badmouthing her for being involved in prostitution.


    "I''ll kindly give you a chance to apologize, now." Roslin''s calm gaze descended on those girls.


    Cecelia sneered at her words. "Apologize? To you? C''mon, you must be kidding."


    "Is she daydreaming?" Someone cackled.


    "Haha, I think she''s still living in her dream."


    "Hahaha!" The girlsughed outrageously.


    Tina mocked Roslin, "If we don''t apologize, what can you do to us?"


    Roslin, however, didn''t reply to her words. Instead, she gave her a hard p directly on her face.


    "p!" The crisp pping sound resounded into everyone''s ears. At this moment, Tina was


    completely dumbfounded, unable to react to her p.


    Roslin then pinched Tina''s chin. Thetter tried to free herself from her grasp but failed after


    realizing the difference in strength between them.


    While adding force into her pinch, Roslin asked her casually, "Are you satisfied by my answer?"


    Looking at the cold-hearted girl in front of her, Tina now felt a sense of fear deep in her heart. The


    gaze of Roslin was too terrifying, she had never seen such a hideous gaze from her before.


    Seeing Tina curling up while avoiding eye contact with her, Roslin then slowly turned around, her


    gaze focused on Cecelia and her gang. She grinned.


    Without any words, they understood the meaning behind her smile. Cecelia and her gang''s


    expressions were distorted at this moment. But, when they saw Roslin, they dared not retort back to


    her. Never did they expect that Roslin would fight back.


    In fact, this wasn''t their first time bullying others. However, the reactions of their victims were only


    swallowing their tears or remaining silent.


    "Roslin, won''t you be afraid of the school''s punishment if you threaten us?" Cecelia asked Roslin


    while pretending to be calm.


    Roslin, on the other hand, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and threw it directly in front of


    her. "p yourself."


    For a second, Cecelia and her gang were stunned. Some of them were secretly praying inwardly


    that the teacher would arrive soon. As long as the teacher arrived, they won''t need to p


    themselves.


    It was obvious that Cecelia tried to drag time. But, Roslin smiled faintly at her while raising her


    fingers. "I''ll only count to three. After three, you''ll be experiencing the same treatment as hers."


    Roslin didn''t even give them a chance to speak at all and started counting down.


    "One."


    Cecelia and the others looked at each other anxiously, not knowing what to do.


    "Two."


    They panicked and threw nces outside the door from time to time. Yet, the person whom they


    wished to appear the most didn''t appear.


    Just as Roslin counted to three, Cecelia was the first to lose her stance and pped herself. The


    others naturally followed along.


    After Cecelia pped herself, her eyes were filled with tears of humiliation. "Are you satisfied?"


    Roslin raised the corners of her lips and said, "Continue."

    Chapter 32 You''ve Gone Too Far


    Chapter 32 You''ve Gone Too Far


    Cecelia widened her eyes in shock and stopped crying, "You''ve gone too far!"


    They had already given in, what else did she want?


    "I''ve gone too far?" Roslin scanned through the girls while smiling coldly. "Didn''t you guys feel the


    same when you were badmouthing me? I have nothing to do with you, but you decided to provoke


    me. Since you have the guts to speak vicious words about me, you should be prepared for the


    consequences."


    "You..."


    At this moment, the boy who had a crush on Cecelia stood in front of her, acting like her protector.


    "Roslin, enough. Do you need to be so mean to them?"


    Roslin looked at the boy who spoke out. He was the monitor of the ss, Patrick Taylor, having


    good grades and a good family background. Although his family wasn''tparable to the Smith


    family, it was quite reputable in H City.


    "I''m mean?" Roslinughed and looked at him mockingly. "Weren''t they mean when they bully me?


    Aren''t you being double-standard right now?"


    Patrick replied to her coldly, "We are all ssmates, do you need to be so fussy?"


    "ssmate? I dare not to be your ssmate." Roslin chuckled, "When they humiliated me


    ruthlessly, did they ever think that I am their ssmate? When you speak righteously, have you ever


    thought that I am also your ssmate?"


    "You have never thought about it, so why do you ask me to think the same way as yours?"


    "You..." Patrick flustered while listening to her statement.


    "Treat people like you''d like to be treated. Since you''re not the person who has been humiliated, you


    could tell me to bear with the humiliation easily. Until the day you can deal with the humiliation as


    what you said, then only ask me to do that. Otherwise, please shut up and stop acting like a justice


    hero."


    "You, you..." Patrick stuttered, unable to retort back to her statement.


    At this moment, the ss teacher Lucas hurried over, together with a student. As soon as they


    entered the ssroom, they sensed the tense situation between the two parties, with tables and


    chairs falling all over the ground, whilst several girls who were crying.


    The girl, who was standing straight in the center looked thin but didn''t show a hint of weakness at


    all. In fact, she stood proud.


    Lucas, surprised by the drama, scanned at the students in the ss and asked, "What''s going on?"


    Cecelia seemed to find a backer when she saw the head teachering. "Mr. Jones, Roslin beat


    and bullied us. She''s disregarding discipline despite being a neer. You must punish her


    severely."


    The students around her nodded in agreement.


    "Teacher, look at my face," said Tina who covered her face, crying pitifully.


    David followed along andined, "Teacher, she kicked over my desk."


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Although faced with all the usations, Roslin remained silent. Lucas looked at Roslin, and asked,


    "What will you say with all their usations?" He couldn''t believe that the gentle girl standing in


    front of her could be so cruel.


    "They bullied me first, so I bullied them back. It''s as simple as that. As for why their faces were


    swollen, it was probably because they felt too embarrassed for those filthy words they said to me


    and they med themselves so much that they beat themselves up."


    Her simple statement made Cecelia and her gang lost their minds. "How can you be so


    shameless?" Cecelia widened her eyes and questioned Roslin.


    "Didn''t you p yourself up?" Roslin looked at her "innocently". Her provocative expression


    triggered the students standing beside her. How they wish they could step forward and beat her up!

    "You... are shameless." Cecelia''s face flushed with anger.


    "If you didn''t threaten us, how could we beat ourselves?"


    Roslin replied with an innocent expression. "Missy, I disagree with your words. If I threaten you to


    commit suicide, will you just do as I said? If I ordered you to eat shit, will you still follow my words


    obediently?"


    The people were stunned by her words.


    At this moment, Patrick, the ss monitor retorted, "Mr. Jones, we could be Cecelia''s and the girls''


    witnesses. It was Roslin who threatened them."


    Roslin turned to look at Patrick and said, "You''re Patrick Taylor, our ss monitor right? Then, do


    you dare to repeat the words they said earlier? I''m aware of the deep rtionship between you


    guys. But as a monitor, you must at least have a conscience. If you''re taking sides, then I guess


    you''re really hopeless."


    Lucas nced at Cecelia, David, and the troublemakers. Roslin had just transferred to the school,


    so it was impossible for her to cause trouble. He had already known the true natures of these


    pampered rich second-generation after two years of teaching here.


    He probably guessed the drama that happened earlier- these troublemakers surely said or did


    something to Roslin, but were beaten up by thetter. Thank God, they finally reaped what they


    sow.


    "Hah, you meant the words we said earlier? Aren''t we just telling the truth? Could it be that we can''t


    do so? If you have the guts to do it, why afraid of being told by others?" Tina stared at Roslin with


    resentful gaze, as if going to swallow her up alive.


    "The truth?" sneered Roslin. "I heard that you are a social butterfly and go to the hotel every day


    after school. I also heard that you are the illegitimate child whom your mother gave birth to with a


    wild man."


    "You..." Tina directly cried out of anger, "You''re spitting nonsense!"


    "Nonsense? I''m just telling the truth. Could it be that I can''t do so? If you have the guts to do it, why


    afraid of being told by me?"


    Tina was speechless when she heard the familiar words she said earlier.


    At this moment, Lucas took over the situation. "Alright. All of you go to the office with me. Also,


    notify the parents and ask them toe to the school."


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Everyone involved in the incident was taken away. As soon as they left, the ssroom was chaotic.


    "Damn''t, I didn''t know that Roslin is so cool."


    "What''s cool about her? I bet she''d be cryingter." Michael said disdainfully.


    Soon, this news was spread among the students. And in the blink of an eye, it was spread to the


    entire Masafield School and reached Linda''s ears.


    "Linda, have you heard about this news? Your sister beat up Cecelia and Tina in her ss. She has


    been called to the office now."


    Amelia said worriedly after listening to her words. "Why is she still so impulsive? I don''t care if she


    hurt my leg at home, after all, she''s my sister. But no one will spoil her when she''s at school."


    When the ssmate heard this, she eximed in surprise, "What? She''s the one to injure your


    leg?"


    Linda covered her mouth in shock, "No, I didn''t say that."


    "Linda, you don''t have to cover it up for her. We all heard it." Amelia said.


    "She didn''t do it on purpose, she was just careless." Linda hurriedly exined, as if worrying that


    they might misunderstand Roslin.


    June persuaded her, "Look at yourself, you''ve been bullied like this. Yet, you still speak for her. She


    should get a lesson for being such a vicious girl."


    "That''s right. Since she has offended so many people, let''s see how she wraps things up."


    On the other side, under the supervision of Lucas, Roslin contacted John. The secretary answered


    the call, walked into the office, and informed the matter to John.


    "Mr. Smith, it was a call from the school. It seems that Miss Roslin has gotten herself into trouble


    and the teacher requested parents to have a talk."


    John frowned. Being busy with his work, how could he deal with these trivial matters? "Ask Mrs.


    Smith to go," he ordered his secretary.

    After leaving the office, the secretary immediately phoned the home number to inform Mrs. Smith,


    only to learn that she was doing a beauty treatment. He then contacted her phone number once


    again, yet no one picked up his call.


    After three consecutive phone calls, she finally picked up the call. "What''s the matter?"


    "Mrs. Smith, Miss Roslin has gotten herself into trouble at school and needs you toe over to


    handle the matter," said the secretary.


    "Alright, got it," Lucinda replied.


    Upon listening to her words, the beauty treatment asked her thoughtfully, "Mrs. Smith, do you need


    me to speed up the treatment?"


    "No, just remain at your normal pace," Lucinda answered, cing her phone aside.


    Noticing that she wasn''t in a hurry, the beautician continued to massage her at a normal pace.


    In the school office, the parents of Cecelia and the others rushed over to school immediately after


    being informed that their child had been beaten at school. Tina''s mother was the first one to arrive.


    When she noticed the bruise on her daughter''s arm, she darkened her expression immediately.


    "Who is it? Who hit my child?" Mrs. Lee stared angrily at Lucas.


    Tina pointed at Roslin and said, "It''s her, she hit me."


    Mrs. Lee rushed toward Roslin and raised her hand. Noticing that the situation was off, Lucas


    immediately stood in front of Roslin.


    "p!"


    A hard pnded on Lucas''s face. For a second, everyone widened their eyes, in surprise.


    Mrs. Lee halted, then regained herposure instantly. "You are protecting her. As a teacher, you


    do not uphold justice and still protect such an uneducated student like her. Is this the education of


    Masafield School?"


    When Lucas was about to exin the situation, he heard the girl, whom he was protecting speak


    out coldly from behind.


    "How very educated of you, Mrs. Lee. You beat people as soon as you meet them. You are so


    educated that even I will think that the Lee family is running a roguepany that collects


    protection fees from others."


    "Brat, you sure have a sharp tongue, don''t you? Let me tell you, I will let you go about this matter.


    Tina has been pampered by me since young, and never did I beat her once. But, how dare you bully


    her? If you and your school don''t give me a good exnation by today, I will not leave this matter as


    it is!"


    "If the Lee family is rich, just hire awyer to sue me. You don''t need to threaten me here."


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Mrs. Lee pointed at her nose with a grim expression, "Who are your parents? Why haven''t they


    arrived yet? I want to ask your parents how they educate their child?"


    "15888..."


    "What?" Mrs. Lee and others looked puzzled.


    As if noticing their confusion, Roslin replied to her, "Aren''t you going to ask my parents? This is my


    father''s phone number. You can call and ask him directly."


    "Mrs. Lee, please calm down. Let''s wait for her parents to arrive and discuss this matter."


    Soon, Cecilia and the others'' parents arrived. However, not Roslin''s.


    "Where are her parents? Did you even contact them?"


    Although David''s father was angry when he saw his son injured, upon noticing Roslin''s attire, he


    didn''t yell like Tina''s mother but asked her calmly, "Where are your parents?"


    "Thisdy has contacted my father. He''ll arrive soon."


    Listening to her reply, David''s father wasn''t in a rush at all, the same goes for the others. Being


    notable people in society, they didn''t need to do something that would destroy their images since


    someone had done it.


    Mrs. Lee had already made several phone calls to John, but he didn''t answer the call. When she


    was about to lose her mind, he finally picked the call up.


    As soon as the call was answered, Mrs. Lee couldn''t control her temper and yelled, "Your daughter


    hit my daughter! How are you going to handle this matter? I''ll tell you, if you don''t solve this matter


    properly, I won''t let you go."


    John, much to his surprise, who hadn''t been yelled at for many years was momentarily


    dumbfounded by her roar. Then, he furrowed, "Madam, please calm down. My wife is already on


    her way to handle this matter."


    "You''re kidding me, damn''t it! All of us have arrived, just yours left. Until when do you want us to


    wait? Even if you''re busy, aren''t we busy as well?" Mrs. Lee continued to scream angrily.


    "Got it. I''lle over now." Without giving her a chance to reply, John hung up the phone and


    contacted the internal line. "Prepare me the car, we''re heading to school now."


    The parents who saw Mrs. Lee''s rude conversation and crude demeanor instinctively kept


    themselves away from her. The Lee family wasn''t even ranked in the H City. In fact, they were only


    considered as a parvenu.


    They have long heard that Mrs. Lee came from a rural background and didn''t even graduate from


    elementary school. Usually, it was Mr. Lee who attended the parents'' meeting. He was polite and


    sociable, but never did they meet Mrs. Lee once. Now, they understood the reason behind it.


    Being dignified people, even if they were angry, they won''t shed all pretenses of cordiality and acted


    like uneducated people like Mrs. Lee, who was screaming all over.


    Half an hourter, John hurriedly arrived. As soon as he entered the office, the parents who were


    waiting impatiently reced their annoyed faces with fake smiles upon noticing John.


    "Mr. Smith," David''s father smiled and walked forward to greet him.


    Other parents came forward and greeted him along enthusiastically.


    Standing aside, Roslin watched the scene coldly. She had expected this to happen. How would


    there be zero bullying cases in Masafield School?


    Bullying cases were prettymon here. As long as they didn''t beat someone until retarded, with a


    strong background, they could remain free from those problems.


    It just so happens that the Smith family has this power for her to act recklessly in the H City. In her


    previous life, she was "educated" too well by Lucinda and acted extremely cautiously, which led


    these people to bully her.


    When Mrs. Lee saw that the parents who should be on the same side as her acted so


    enthusiastically toward John, she noticed that thetter must have a stronger background than


    theirs.


    After greeting the parents one by one, John looked at Lucas. "Mr. Jones, I''m sorry to trouble you. I


    wonder what conflict has happened between my daughter and her ssmates?"


    Mrs. Lee interjected, "What conflict do you mean? Isn''t it obvious that your daughter has beaten our


    children up? No matter what, you must settle this matter."


    Only then did John start to screen through the students, noticing the small injuries on their bodies.


    He looked back at Roslin and ordered Roslin in a deep voice as if nothing serious happened. "Rosy,


    apologize to the students, now."


    "You don''t even ask me what did they do, but let me apologize to them casually? Even the judge


    would give the criminal to defend themselves before sentencing them."


    "No matter what the reason is, you are wrong to hit someone." John darkened his expression when


    Roslin talked back to him.


    Roslin snorted at his words and threw sarcastic nces toward him. "When I had no father or


    mother, I never let myself be wronged. How funny it is that I need to be wronged after having


    parents."

    Chapter 35 A Big Reversal


    The meaning behind her words was, "What''s the point of having you as my parent?"


    Upon listening to her words, John was embarrassed yet angry. He eximed, "You..."


    David''s father immediately interrupted him, "Mr. Smith, calm down. I believe they are just ying


    around, so don''t take it seriously. You don''t need to be hard on her."


    Cecelia''s mother followed along persuaded, "Yes. I believe Cecelia must do something wrong too,


    you can''t solely me Rosy."


    Soon, other parents joined along in convincing John. Noticing that the rest let pass of this matter,


    Mrs. Lee realized that if she held into it, she might be hated by others. She sulked aside, feeling


    unsatisfied with this oue.


    Seeing that the parents didn''t pursue the matter anymore, Lucas heaved a long sigh of relief.


    Just as everyone thought that this matter would be settled, they never expected that someone didn''t


    want to let it go.


    "Even if you all decided to let this matter go, I refused to do that." Roslin looked at Cecelia and the


    parents and stated out coldly.


    Everyone was dumbfounded by her sudden words and focused their gazes on the beautiful little girl


    in front of them.


    "This is my first day at Masafield School, and also my first day in the ss. Before I could even


    recognize all my ssmates, these people couldn''t wait to unite and bully me. As their parents, isn''t


    it natural for you to give a good exnation to me and the Smith family?"


    "Although the Smith family isn''t one of the eight major families in Suro City, it''s not a random family


    that you could simply make fun of. Or, is it because you held a grudge against the Smith family and


    instructed your children to cause this ruckus?"


    What?! For instance, the parents were shocked, whereas Cecelia and her gang looked at her with


    their mouths agape. John, on the other hand, fell into deep thought as he squinted at the parents.


    Roslin pointed at David and threw cold nces toward his father. "Your son told others that he


    wants to date me out, then let me be his ything after seeded. And, he proudly


    announced to the people that it was exciting to let me, daughter of the Smith family be his


    ything."


    T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Immediately, David''s father''s face drained out of its color. He walked toward his son and pped


    him on the back of the head. "You bastard, I''ll deal with you when we go back!"


    Roslin then pointed to Tina and her gangs, with her gaze focusing on their parents, and continued,


    "These innocent, well-educated daughters of yours were spreading rumors that I''m a whore in the


    ss as if they had seen it in their eyes. Tsk, how good the education they were taught by you


    guys- the upper ss."


    At this point, John darkened his expression. Lucas didn''t expect that these teenagers could speak


    out such vicious words.


    Tina''s mother, on the other hand, didn''t expect her daughter to say such a thing, "Did you really say


    that?"


    Tina adverted her gaze and remained silent. Needless to say, everyone could guess the meaning


    behind her reaction. Although Tina''s mother was uneducated and vigorous, she still held


    conscience on certain matters.


    Without hesitation, she pped Tina directly on her face. "What have you learned? How could you


    say such vicious words?!"


    Tina, despite being angry, dare not speak back to her mom. She hated her mom very much for


    being uneducated.


    Meanwhile, Cecelia''s mother stepped forward and pleaded to Roslin sincerely, "Rosy, I apologize to


    you on behalf of Cecelia. I''ll definitely teach her a lesson after I go back."


    Roslin stared at Cecelia''s mother, then at Tina''s. What an obvious contrast between their reaction!


    Regardless of "teaching her a lesson" that she mentioned, in the end, she was just protecting her


    daughter while thinking that this wasn''t a big deal.


    "Auntie, you don''t need to apologize. You aren''t the one who did the wrong. It should be the person


    who made the mistake to apologize, not you."


    She was determined to make Cecelia and her gang apologize to her, which was way more impactful


    and embarrassing to them.

    David''s father grabbed David''s ear and dragged him to Roslin. "My brat never thinks before he


    talks. He''s rude."


    While talking, he kicked David''s calf and ordered with a deep voice, "Say sorry."


    David did not want to apologize but he was forced to do so under his father''s pressure.


    With great reluctance and a grievance expression, he stated, "I''m sorry."


    Mrs. Lee looked toward Tina and ordered, "Say sorry."


    Tina red up in a rage. "You are my mother aren''t you? Your daughter got beaten up but you ask


    your daughter to say sorry to the culprit."


    Her statement echoed the minds of all the students who were hit. At that moment, they felt very


    aggrieved and unhappy.


    "How dare you! Would you have got beaten up if you hadn''t offend others?"


    Feeling frustrated, Tina cried profusely. After that, she reluctantly faced Roslin and uttered stiffly,


    "I''m sorry."


    Deep rosiness crept up her face after she apologized to Roslin.


    After that, she turned around and screamed at Mrs. Lee, "Are you satisfied?"


    Next, she turned away and ran out of the ss. Consequently, Mrs. Lee was scared, so she


    immediately ran after Tina.


    Cecelia''s mother gave Cecelia a look before Cecelia walked forward unwillingly. "I''m sorry."


    She blushed vehemently thereafter.


    The others were requested by their parents to apologize one after another.


    As a result, John''s expression became slightly better. All the parents apologized to him too.


    While smiling, John said, "It''s fine. It''s very normal for kids to fight and argue with each other. Rosy


    is wrong in this affair too."


    While talking, he wanted to show his generosity, so he turned to say to Roslin, "Rosy, you should


    apologize to them too."

    However, Roslin snorted and turned away to leave.


    She thought, "Dream on if you want me to say sorry!"


    John''s smile stiffened while watching her back but soon he regained his wits. He said to the parents


    apologetically, "I''m so sorry. Rosy''s been angry at us all this while and she''s yet to forgive us."


    "Well, we understand." The parents nodded endlessly.


    After an hour of development, the whole school became aware of Roslin hitting her ssmates.


    Everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.


    Unfortunately, the result was shocking to many of them.


    Not only did Roslin escape unscathed, but the victims even apologized to her.


    "That''s too unfair," a female student eximed in dissatisfaction.


    "Do you know whose father came? Linda''s father came."


    "Oh, my gosh! If I wasn''t wrong, Linda''s mother is always the one who came for the parents''


    meeting. Her father never came, let alone resolve the issue."


    "That''s right. John is so busy. Of course, he doesn''t have the time."


    "But he came to resolve Roslin''s issue. Well, isn''t this the difference between a biological daughter


    and a non-biological daughter?"


    "I saw him leave with Roslin in a car just now without taking Linda along."


    ...


    Linda heard the discussion of the few girls in front of her so her expression became very hideous.


    "What are you talking about?" June scolded sternly.


    The few girls turned around. When they saw Linda and her three besties, they became very


    awkward.


    Amelia pointed at them. "If I hear you criticize Linda secretly again, I''ll pull all your tongues out."


    Linda advised in a downcast mood, "Amelia, forget it."


    "They''re too annoying," Amelia said righteously.


    After they left, Linda sobbed and exined, "It''s normal that Dad likes her. After all, I''m not a


    daughter of the Smith family."

    "Why is Mr. Smith so biased? I can''t take this," June stated angrily.


    "You regard him as your father for so many years but it''s iparable to that bit of blood tie."


    Sarah, who kept quiet all that while, felt slightly guilty. Previously, she med Linda for not telling


    them the truth so they thought that Roslin was just an adopted daughter.


    However, she saw how Linda''s room was snatched. Roslin even hurt Linda''s leg. Now she


    witnessed Johne for Roslin and ignore Linda. Consequently, she found Linda very pitiful.


    Sarah suggested with a deep voice, "It''s useless even if you guysin here. Let''se up


    with a way to give her a hard time in school."


    June''s eyes brightened. "Sarah, you''re right. Do you have any good ideas? Tell us."


    The others looked at her.


    Sarah chuckled. "It''s simple. She offended so many people in her ss. We can ask them to do it."


    A tinge of light shed across Linda''s eyes but she revealed a conflicted expression. "That''s not


    very nice."


    June hugged her shoulders. "Linda, you''re too kind. She treats you as such but you still care about


    her."


    "Ally loads on a willing horse. If you let her be, she may trample over you."


    Sarah patted her shoulder. "Don''t worry. It''ll be fine."Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    They were trying toe up with a scheme while Roslin was riding in the car to return to the Smith


    family. Both John and Roslin sat on either side in the rear of the car as if they had nothing to do with


    each other.


    John did not want to embarrass himself in front of the outsiders so he had been suppressing his


    anger all that while.


    When they got home, Roslin wanted to go upstairs but John stopped her. "Stop."


    Roslin turned around and looked at him, sneering. "What''s the matter?"


    "What''s the matter? Tell me. You made trouble the first day you went to school. What do you want?


    You went there to study instead of fighting and causing trouble," John rebuked.


    However, Roslin snorted. "I naturally wouldn''t offend them if they didn''te poking the bear. If I


    suffered in silence today, they would think I''m a pushover. I''m the daughter of the Smith family. If the


    Smith family couldn''t even protect their daughter well, both the Smith family and I would be


    humiliated."


    Her analysis sounded reasonable.


    John thought, "Those few families aren''t rich and powerful. They are beyond the third ss. Roslin


    is my daughter, so she doesn''t have to suffer in silence." When he thought of that, he fell silent.


    "I''ll go upstairs and rest if you''re done."


    John ignored her.


    Linda woke up early the next day. When she walked into the dining room, the female servants were


    slightly shocked.


    She never came downstairs until thest moment but she was half an hour early today.


    "Hurry up. I''m in a rush," Linda urged.


    Hence, the female servants did not dare to waste time and immediately served her breakfast.


    After she had finished eating, Lucinda walked into the dining room. She asked in surprise, "Why are


    you up so early today?"


    "I''ve got something going on in the students'' union. I need to go there early to deal with it."


    Lucinda touched her cheeks. "You work so hard."


    Linda hurriedly finished eating before she shouted at Mary, "Mary, is the car ready?"


    Mary walked out. "Yes, it''s ready but Miss Roslin isn''t up yet."


    There were two drivers at home. A driver attended to Mr. Smith while the other was responsible for


    giving Linda a ride to and fro school as well as for daily usage.


    If Linda had left, it meant that no one would give Roslin a ride to school.

    Linda felt very annoyed inwardly when Mary said that.


    Mary never retorted to her regardless of what she said in the past. Now that Roslin was here, Mary


    started to look down on her and curry favor with Roslin.


    Great wrath overwhelmed Linda but she suppressed her dissatisfaction.


    She turned around and looked at Lucinda helplessly and anxiously.


    Lucinda said, "Go ahead if you''re in a rush."


    After gaining Lucinda''s approval, Linda left happily.


    However, Mary was hesitant.


    How should Roslin go to schoolter?


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    The vi neighborhood was halfway up Greencloud Hill and there were no cars to go down the hill.


    It would take at least forty minutes to go downhill on foot.


    Besides, it would take another twenty minutes to walk to the bus station from the foot of the hill. The


    bus came every half hour.


    After such a long journey, it would be after ten o''clock in the morning when Roslin arrived at the


    school.


    She had just been transferred to that school. If she waste the second day, it would make her look


    quite bad.


    Mary wanted to speak up but a female servant stopped her.


    "Mary, stop talking. Didn''t you see Mrs. Smith like Miss Linda more although Miss Roslin is her


    biological daughter? She doesn''t like Miss Roslin much. If you speak, you''ll suffer."


    "s." Mary heaved a heavy sigh.


    When Roslin came downstairs for breakfast, she did not see Linda. Although she found it strange,


    she did not dwell much on it. After she had breakfast, she learned that Linda had left long ago.


    "Sam gave Miss Linda a ride to the school fifteen minutes ago. Er... Do you want me to get you


    downhill with my scooter?" Mary suggested.


    "No, it''s fine." Roslin waved her hand and turned Mary''s kind offer down.


    Linda always grabbed hold of any chances to give Roslin a hard time.


    She thought she could embarrass Roslin this way and make Roslin aughing stock.


    "Where''s the garage?"


    Mary led Roslin to the garage. Various kinds of luxurious cars were parked in the thousand-square


    feet garage. They were bought by the patriarchs of the Smith family of various generations.


    Roslin took out a key from the cab beside her and walked to a blue sports car before she


    opened its door.


    Mary discerned her intention. "Miss Roslin, you want to..."


    "I''ll drive there."


    Roslin got into the car and closed the door. Mary''s eyes were full of shock as she watched the blue


    sports car drive out rapidly. When she regained her wits, she said inwardly, "Oh, shoot!"


    That blue sports car was Zed''s favorite sports car. He cherished it very much. If he learned that


    Roslin had driven his car out, he would flip out.


    The roar of the sports car echoed through the mountains and forests. When it was driven into the


    school, it immediately attracted onlookers.


    "Who is this?"


    "This sports car is so beautiful."


    "It looks like a limited edition of Bugatti LCV. It seems to be worth over four million dors. My


    brother wanted to get one but my father refused to buy one for him."


    "Who is the driver? Is it that fearless person? Only that person is so bold."


    While everyone was discussing, the car door was opened. The driver''s ck and long charming


    hair fluttered with the wind. When she turned around, people saw her delicate face.


    "Wow, she''s so pretty."


    "She''s even prettier than Selena, the school belle."


    "Does anyone know her?"


    All people present were aware of a person called Roslin but they had never met her. Naturally, they


    did not recognize her. Linda walked into the crowd. When she saw Roslin, her expression changed


    slightly before she cracked a weird smile.


    She thought, "You''re so bold. How dare you use Zed''s thing!"


    She did not even dare to touch that sports car.


    Hence, Roslin was indeed courting death since she had used it.


    Linda secretly took a photograph and sent it to Zed, who was abroad.

    June Williams and the others looked at the sports car, all showing expressions of indignation.


    "Uncle Smith is really partial. He bought her such an expensive sports car just after she came


    back," Amelia said angrily.


    Knowing that they misunderstood, Linda did not exin.


    "This car is a limited-edition Bugatti, and it''s very expensive. Uncle Smith is really generous," said


    Sarah cynically.


    June put her hands on her hips, "Seeing how proud she is, I really want to tear her face apart."


    Noticing Linda''s uneasy expression, the othersforted her.


    "Linda, don''t be angry. A small-minded man who is proud is destined to be rejected by others."


    "She is showing off now, and we''re going to make her a sensation," Sarah said with a smile on her


    face, "I heard that Arthur is going to stand up for Cecelia."


    "Arthur is the worst. I wonder what he will do to Roslin."


    "Go and see."


    Their faces were full of gloat at the mention of this.


    The three of them dragged poor little Linda away.


    Roslin parked the car in the parking lot for the teaching staff. The security guard turned a blind eye


    to this. Even the college management would not dare to offend people who could afford this kind of


    car, let alone the security guard.


    Many people looked at and whispered about the sports car along the way.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    A group of people were squatting in the corridor on the third floor of the college building. Someone


    saw Roslining and shouted to the people behind, "Tom, Roslin is here. Hurry up."


    They stared closely at Roslin. There were many people around them who were also paying


    attention to Roslin. In the eyes of these people, one could clearly see the faint look of expectation


    and evil.


    When Roslin raised her foot downstairs and was about to walk up the steps, a basin of ck ink fell


    right above her head.


    The sound of sshing water echoed, and the streams of ck ink instantly merged into a river and


    meandered through.


    "Hahahaha!"


    A loudugh came from the third floor, but it stopped abruptly as soon as it started.


    "Where''s she?" Arthur looked at the empty steps and turned to question those around him.


    David and the others looked at each other in nk dismay.


    "Where is she?"


    The onlookers in the corridor were all at a loss.


    "She was still there just now. Why is she not there suddenly?"


    "Could it be that we were dazzled just now, and she wasn''t there at all?"


    ...


    When the people on the third floor were puzzled, someone cued, "She has gone upstairs."


    Just as this sentence was finished, a slender figure appeared in everyone''s field of vision.


    When Arthur saw Roslin''s clean body, annoyance shed across his eyes, "Damn it, she escaped


    it."


    Arthur felt somewhat unhappy.


    His goddess was watching at the side.


    He kicked hard at Jerry who was next to him, and cursed angrily, "You''re good for nothing. You can''t


    even pour water on the target."


    Jerry was wronged. He retorted in a low voice, "David didn''t cue at the right time. His cue waste."


    David was displeased, "I cued when I clearly saw her walking up the steps. Obviously, you were


    slow so we missed her."


    "It was you giving the cuete. You should have cued me before she went up the steps. Don''t you


    know it takes time for water to fall?"


    When the two were arguing, Arthur reprimanded impatiently, "Shut up. Luckily, I have a backup


    n. Otherwise, we''ll be the ones who are embarrassed.¡±

    They had been confidently spreading the news that they would prank her. If it did not work out,


    Arthur would be so embarrassed.


    "Arthur is the most thoughtful," Jerry ttered.


    Arthur snorted proudly, "Let''s go and see."


    Roslin walked into the ssroom. The students in the ssroom were all surprised when they saw


    Roslin appearing safe and sound. They had wanted to watch the prank, but Arthur had only allowed


    a few people to watch in order not to let her find out that something was wrong.


    They were puzzled to see that she was fine now.


    "What happened? Arthur and the others didn''t do anything?" Someone whispered.


    "I don''t know."


    "Did Arthur change his mind because Roslin is beautiful?"


    While they were buzzing about this, Roslin walked towards her seat. When she approached her


    seat, everyone watched furtively from the corner of their eyes.


    Some of them showed excitement, while some looked unconcerned and some showed pity. There


    were all kinds of beings in the small ssroom.


    The moment Roslin opened her drawer, a ck figure darted towards her face. Suddenly, her hands


    quickly and precisely grabbed the ck figure, pinching the snake''s head unmistakably.


    Everyone in the ssroom was shocked!


    The person who should have been the most terrified was expressionless and looked indifferent.


    Everyone was looking at the king rat snake which kept twisting in her hand. Their scalps went


    numb. However, what shocked them the most was that the seemingly weak girl exerted a little force


    with her hands and the snake''s head softened instantly, and the snake''s tail wrapped around her


    arm loosened.


    The people in the ssroom and the people standing outside the ssroom were all stunned by


    this scene.


    "Damn! This girl is so bold."


    "Why isn''t she afraid at all?" A girl said in surprise and fear as she stroked her fuzz which stood on


    end.


    Arthur and the others had video recorders in their hands, ready to record her frightened look and


    upload it to the school website. However, what they wanted to see did not happen.


    "Arthur, what should we do now?" asked David.


    "She doesn''t seem to be afraid of snakes."


    Arthur admitted defeat that his prank had failed.


    He could not believe it.


    Suddenly, a pair of cold eyes swept towards them, and fell firmly upon Arthur.


    Jerry trembled slightly in fright.


    The look in this girl''s eyes was somewhat terrifying.


    Not to mention Jerry who was timid, even Arthur who was always bold felt a little apprehensive


    when he met those cold eyes.


    At this moment, everyone saw Roslin put down her bag and walk towards the door with the limp


    snake.


    "What is she going to do?"


    Jerry and the others thought she woulde towards them, but when they were all on guard,


    Roslin walked away from them and just left.


    Everyone was at a loss.


    "I thought she was going to get even with Arthur and the others."


    "Pfft, how could she dare to get even with Arthur?"


    "Is she going toin with the snake in her hand?"


    Everyone was uncertain about what she was going to do.


    Linda and the others stood not far away looking abashed.

    "It''sme."


    "Arthur is such an idiot. He only knows such substandard tricks. Doesn''t he know that she came


    from a shanty town in the western suburbs? How could someone from there be afraid of snakes?"


    Juneined.


    "I thought there would be a good show to watch. What a disappointment." Amelia rolled her eyes


    silently.

    A look of disappointment shed deep in Linda''s eyes. She thought she could watch a good show, but she did not see anything.


    It was a pity that she could not see Roslin¡¯s embarrassing appearance.


    "It''s good that she''s fine," Linda had a frightened expression on her face.


    June disagreed, "Linda, she is the robber who stole your stuff. Why are you worried about her?¡±


    Amelia echoed, "Yes, yes. We should make her understand the difference between us and her, so that she doesn''t think she is the real daughter of


    the Smith family just by entering the Smith family.¡±


    "People who grew up in that kind of ce give off a smell of poverty all over their bodies. It''s deep in their marrow and cannot be eliminated. So don''t


    worry, Linda. The real daughter of a wealthy family has to be nurtured and cultivated from a young age. She is just pretending now."


    For some unknown reason, she did not look poor or humble at all. On the contrary, she stood out from the crowd and looked stunning.


    This made Amelia and the others very uneasy.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    People like her should be trampled underfoot. She should not have the eye-catching brilliance about her.


    Linda did not reply but red at them coquettishly with disapproval on her face, but she did not say anything, let alone reprimand them.


    "Let''s go.¡±


    The four of them were about to leave when Roslin came back.


    She came back with something in her hand.


    Arthur was thinking about how to prank her next when he saw Roslining towards him.


    David looked at the hose she was holding in her hand, "What is she doing with this? Could it be..."


    Before David could finish his sentence, Roslin opened the valve and targeted the nozzle of the pressure gun at Arthur and the others. Those who.


    were near them fled.


    Arthur and the others were sprayed by the pressure gun and were in a mess.


    "Grab her pressure gun," Arthur ordered


    David and Jerry rushed over. Roslin aimed the pressure gun at their feet, and the two of them fell to the floor sprawled.


    Arthur could not bear to see them fall and that the sole target was now himself.


    He tried several times to rush over and grab it, but to no avail.


    "Ah! You crazy woman, stop," Arthur yelled loudly.


    The people around were dumbfounded, and many people heard the news and came over to watch.


    ¡°Isn''t that Arthur?¡±

    Arthur was instantly thrown to the floor by the sudden jet of water, grinning his teeth in pain.


    "What are you doing?¡± Leonard White reprimanded loudly, looking at Roslin, "Turn off the water.¡±

    Taking advantage of his status, he often bullied children from ordinary families.


    Leonard White looked over to Roslin, "Why did you do this?¡±


    Roslin took out a snake from her pocket and threw it at Arthur.


    Arthur backed away in fright.


    "This snake and the puddle of ink at the entrance of the stairway are the reasons." Roslin''s words were simple, but the meaning was clear.

    Lily Wilson was about to get angry, and Roslin said, "Just now I learned from the students around me that Arthur is a bully on a daily basis. But look at


    how unscrupulous he is that he can still set traps to prank me. This shows that those punishments are not effective on him."


    "What is the most important thing for a teacher and a school? Not the so-called grades nor the rate of admission into universities but teaching them


    how to behave. Students should be educated to be moral people before their talents are nurtured. You understand such a simple truth, don''t you, Ms.

    Arthur first pranked Roslin, and then Roslin fought back.


    Both of them were at fault.


    Since nothing happened to either Arthur or Roslin, the school passed this matter over.


    "Both of you are at fault. Apologize to each other, and this matter will be over," said Leonard White


    Apologize?


    The word "apologize" was not in Arthur''s world.


    He had lost his facepletely today.


    There was no way that he would apologize now!


    Leonard''s gaze swept over Roslin and Arthur, and finallynded on Arthur, "You''re at fault first. Apologize first to Roslin.¡±

    With that, Arthur turned and left with his head high, giving no consideration to anything.


    After he was gone, Roslin said to Lily Wilson, "Ms. Wilson, you see, if we keep a student with improper behavior like him, our school¡¯s reputation is


    only going to get worse. For our college, I sincerely hope we can give him a lesson. He''ll get hurt if we let it slide."


    Ms. Wilsonughed with anger.


    Having been a dean for so many years, this was her first time being lectured by a student.


    Ms. Wilson pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "You''re very good."


    Ms. Wilson left. Mr. White looked at her with a troubled face. The little girl looked delicate on the outside, but she was so tough on the inside.


    "Don''t do that again,¡± said Mr. White with a stern look.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Roslin answered docilely.


    Mr. White shook his head and left


    Half an hourter, Roslin went back to her seat. Her ssmates all showed a "sure enough" expression when seeing here back safe and sound.


    As soon as the bell rang, the teacher came into the ssroom in high heels.


    "Be quiet.¡±


    Jane looked around the ssroom, and when her eyes swept the seat in thest row by the window, her expression trembled a bit. and a look of


    disbelief appeared in her eyes.


    She immediately thought of the new transfer student. To her surprise, the student that made Ms. Wilson so angry was such a pretty girl. "As they say.


    one should never judge a book by its cover."she thought to herself.


    Roslin opened the book. The contents inside were both unfamiliar and familiar.


    In her previous life, to please her parents, she studied very hard by doing lots of exercises. She thought that so long as she got good grades, her


    parents would be happy and proud of her.


    With her unremitting efforts, she did it. On the first monthly test, she came in first in the ss and third in the grade.


    She thought she would get praise, or at least a word offort or smiles from her parents when she happily handed over the report to them.


    However, when she joyfully gave the report to her mother, it was swept to the ground by her.


    Till today, she still remembered how her mother told her off with an angry look, and afterwards, her brother Zed just tore the report into pieces.


    Facing their misunderstanding, she wanted to exin badly, but no one believed her.


    Everyone wasforting Linda, who didn''t do well on the test.


    They didn''t care about her sessively getting good grades, but instead, they celebrated with a banquet in the house for Linda getting a mediocre


    score.


    Atst, she didn''t know whether it was because her good grades stimted Linda. Her good mother told her not necessarily to do very well on tests


    because they didn''t need her to do so.

    Looking back on the past events in the previous life, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.


    In this life, she didn''t have to pretend anymore; she would be herself.


    She, Roslin, was worse than nobody.


    Listening to the teaching of the teacher, the forgotten memories and knowledge were graduallying back.


    At this time, outside the window came a roar of motorbikes. The loud noise echoed around the campus.

    their heads t-look out of the

    "Someone is going to be in trouble."


    The person who was talking involuntarilyid eyes on Roslin, and the students in the ss also subconsciously looked at her up and down, gloating.


    Tina''s eyes glinted with excitement, hoping he woulde sooner.


    The teenager''s eyebrows were slightly raised, looking cocky and unruly. The contemptuous look he was giving to all the students in the ssroom


    perfectly showed how supercilious he was.


    He was indifferent to others¡¯ gaze and talks, as if he was walking in his own kingdom, full of himself.


    Behind him was a bunch of teenagers with deadlocks. They were like his followers or subordinates, looking bad and rebellious.


    These people were the most difficult and unruly troublemakers in Masafield School.


    From the principal down to teaching staff, as long as those students didn¡¯t make trouble, they were fine and could always turn a blind eye.


    "Bam..."


    The back door of the ssroom was kicked open rudely by someone


    The teacher and the students set their eyes in the back: a slender slouchy figure came into the ssroom.


    When Tina saw Jimmy appear, her heart beat fast. With hope, she fixed her eyes on him, expecting that she would see him throw the woman out of


    the window.


    Not in the mood of having ss, all people paid their attention to Jimmy. As he was approaching, their expressions changed ordingly.


    Jimmy walked forward, looking straight ahead. Heid his sparkling eyes on Roslin and then looked around. He was sure that the seat belonged to


    him, and that he didn''t walked inte the wrong ssroomContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Jimmy walked to her, hands on the desk. He looked down on her, saying, "Hey, you took my seat."


    Roslin raised her head, her clear eyes fell on the handsome face. She pointed her slender finger to the side and said, "That is your ce."


    Jimmy looked at the ce of her finger: that was indeed his seat, but...


    "Hey, the seat you''re taking now is also our boss''s,¡± a subordinate behind Jimmy shouted angrily.


    Roslin slightly raised her eyebrows


    and eaned back a little. She looked

    All people present were speechless.


    They gasped, looking at her in disbelief.


    Although they knew Roslin was no pushover, Jimmy was the real terror.


    The ssroom would fall down if they went at each other.


    Tina, Cecelia and others clenched their fists, and thrill and excitement appeared on their faces.


    All the rest students were thrilling. It

    The subordinates behind Jimmy clenched their fists tightly, looking fierce. They were ready to rush forward and teach her a lesson.


    They didn''t have a rule of not hitting women.


    Jimmy raised his hand and stopped the boys behind him. He wanted to thoroughly study the girl in front of him.

    He stretched out his hand, and then a boy behind him put the schoolbag into his hand


    Jimmy threw the schoolbag in and slowly walked behind her. He hooked his foot to the chair and pulled it out. He sat down, leaned back, raised his


    legs and folded them on the table.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    All people looked at Jimmy in amazement again. They didn''t quite understand why he didn''t lift Roslin and throw her out of the window. Howe he


    just let her sit by him like this?


    Roslin looked at the dumbfounded teacher and reminded her, "Ms. Adrian, ss is not over yet. Please continue.¡±


    "Oh oh oh,¡± replied by Jane repeatedly. Maybe it was because she was too shock, her reaction was a bit slow.


    Tina''s eyes were wide open. "Why?" she cried wildly in her heart.


    Why Jimmy didn''t hit her?


    It was surely impossible if this was because she was a girl.


    Jimmy would beat anyone, regardless of the gender.


    Jimmy was very good-looking, and there was always an air of unruliness on him. For girls, he was deadly attractive. However, no one dared to


    confess love to him before him because for those who did so, they had been either thrown to theke or pushed away.


    It was beyond everyone''s expectation that he didn¡¯t get angry when facing someone''s provocation.


    Many people, especially Tina, Cecelia and some others showed a disappointing look in their eyes.


    They were expecting that he would take revenge for them, but it turned out this way.


    Jimmy turned his head, looking at the girl by him. She had fine features, fair skin. With the light emitting from the window, the fine hair on her could


    even be seen, and her skin was so white that it somewhat glowed


    She had the finest skin among all the girls he had seen, and it was so good that he wanted to touch it. He wanted to make sure if it was as smooth as


    he thought.


    Jimmy was someone that feared nothing. so he could do whatever he wanted.


    His hand was faster that his mind.


    So as the notion floated into his mind, his hand was already reaching to her cheek.


    Just as the hand was about to tough


    her cheek, suddenly, his hand was~


    gripped by a pair of warm smal


    hands. The grip was so strong that


    his hand was about to break.


    Roslin tilted her head looking at the person who tried to snuck up on her.


    On hearing the noise, all the students who had been following them secretly stared at them with their peripherals. They saw Roslin take Jimmy by the


    hand.


    It seemed that Jimmy was about to hit Roslin.


    Now all people''s interest of watching the show had been aroused.


    Jane opened her mouth and said, "We''re in ss now. Everyone, pay attention.¡±


    With a jerk of his fingers, Jimmy disengaged himself from her grip. His hand brushed her cheek quickly. It was smooth to touch, better than he


    thought.


    Looking at Roslin''s unfriendly look, Jimmy smiled wickedly and said, "Not bad.¡±


    Roslin ied him. She fixed her ~


    eyes to, the tform and listened


    carefully to the teacher. She took


    notes quite often, totally ignarant of


    what others were doing.   ~~


    Seeing that she made no reaction, Jimmy felt bored. He put down his feet. ced his schoolbag on the desk, used it as a pillow and went to sleep.


    The warm golden light cast into the


    ssroom and fell on the two


    perfect profiles. One was ina sound


    sleep, arid the other was all ears sit

    intersection, the image was . a


    exceedingly harmonious and


    b@autiful.


    The bell rang. and the boy who was napping on the desk frowned a bit. and then he turned his head and went to sleep again


    Breaks were supposed to be noisy, but today''s break was very quiet. Everyone kept their voice low when talking.


    In the next two sses, each teacher automatically looked at the corner aftering inside, and even their voices became soft when they were


    teaching.

    At noon, as soon as the bell rang, one after another, all students left the ssroom and headed to the canteen. Jimmy opened his eyes and saw his


    ssmate carefully sort the textbooks and stand up leisurely.


    Roslin left with her bag. The people on the way couldn''t help but peep at her and then they began to talk about her.


    "Have you heard that? She''s the girl that sits beside Jimmy.¡±


    "Didn''t Jimmy chase her away?"


    "Seems not."


    "Who is that girl?"


    "She is the eldest daughter of the Smith family, the one that was just recalled to the family. I heard that she beat the hell out of Arthur this morning.¡±


    "I also heard that Arthur was fixed big time. He almost lost his life. I heard the news toote, so I didn''t get to watch the show.¡±


    "I didn''t see it either. What a shame!"


    "Shame? We may get to see Jimmy throw her to theke.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha. I''ll for sure film it and post it on social media.¡±


    Jimmy was walking with his boys on the road. All the students who ran into them stepped back two meters away. so there was a void around them.


    The talks of the surrounding students came into Jimmy¡¯ ears every now and then, but his eyes were on the slim figure in front.


    "Jimmy, are we going to Maple Canteen or Flower Canteen today?"


    There were three canteens in Masafield School, and the most expensive one was Maple Canteen. On the first floor, there were all kinds of dishes of


    all countries, and the cooks were hired from five-star restaurants, so the prices of the food were more expensive than outside.


    On the second floor were boxes, where they provided the separate order service, and the prices were more expensive than the first floor. Even so,


    there were still lots of guests at Maple CanteenContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Jimmy didn''t answer. He followed the person in front and went into Maple Canteen.


    As soon as Roslin entered the canteen, she saw a few boys and girls swiping cards, one of whom was Ryn Brown


    Ryn helplessly stood there, not knowing what to do.


    "Seriously? You said you were going to treat us, but now you have no money? Are you fooling us?"


    "Don''t act like a fat cat if you have no money.¡±


    "It''s not a horrible thing if you''re poor. What''s horrible is that you don''t have self-awareness.¡±


    "You just bragged about how rich you were, but now, tut... What a blowhard!"


    Ryn''s face flushed by their remarks.


    She didn''t know the dishes were so


    expensive here. One dish could: >


    equal half a month''s living ex xpenses


    for. her.  ta¡±


    The dishes they ordered were the most expensive ones. How could she afford them?


    She just wanted to fit in with them, but who could expect the price would be so high?


    Looking at the contemptuous and sneering look that others cast on her, she felt extremely embarrassed


    As she didn''t know what to do, she.


    saw Roslin walking into the canteen


    fromthe corner of her eye. Hereyes

    "Who''s that girl?" someone asked in a low voice.


    "No idea.¡±


    "The person she is acquainted with in her circle must be poor," said a girl contemptuously.


    Ryn trotted before Roslin and said, "Did you bring your card? I don''t have enough money today. Can you help me out?¡±


    Roslin sneered at her heart.


    She paid money for her countless times in her previous life, but she never returned the money, not even ance.

    "Hey, do you have enough money on your card? I hope you won''t make a fool of yourself like Ryn with insufficient bnce.¡± a girl said with a mocking


    smile


    Another girl followed suit. "It costs a lot to eat here. Are you sure you can afford it?"


    The tables by the window on the second floor had a panoramic view of the first floor. At this moment, June excitedly shouted to her friends, "Look,


    there''s a good show over there.¡±


    The group of young men and girls at the table turned their heads and caught sight of Roslin, who was standing in the center.


    Wurster stared at the proud girl who was straightening up and asked, "Do you guys know the girl in yellow?"


    Sarah frowned slightly at Wurster¡¯s words, and her gaze swept over his face, noticing that his eyes were fixed on Roslin with his brows furrowed.


    Amelia asked, ¡°Wurster, are you interested in her?¡±


    "Ha! Wurster, your taste is terrible. I can''t believe that you have a thing for that kind of girl," June mocked

    Sarah, who had been silent all along, said, "Do you know who that person is? She''s the one who stole Linda''s things and even hit Linda''s sister.


    G, didn''t you say you wanted to avenge Linda? Why are you praising her now?"


    Wurster, G, and the several other people at the table looked surprised

    Lina''s eyes showed surprise as she looked up and down at Roslin. Roslin looked pretty good, but her clothes were a bit shabby, which made her not

    Seeing that Lina and her friends were stunned, Ryn straightened up and smiled. "Rosy. give me your card. It''s my treat today. Just order whatever
