Chapter 65
The spring breeze sofily brushed over the land in March, filling everything with a sense of spring and hope,
Maybelle’s new villa was right next to the school just a ten–minute walk away. She no longer had to waste two hours every day on the road like she used to when living with the Harper family. It allowed her to forms more energy on learning.
In the morning, she first sat in the spacious courtyard and finished a physics test paper. Then, she leisurely walked to school with her backpack.
Today was the first day of school. Many parents came to drop their children off, making the entrance of Austin School exceptionally lively. A variety of cars cloceed the whorl cate
Even though there were many traffic police directing traffic on the muis road, the traffic was quite chaotic. Some drivers had been stuck at the school gate for almost an hour, impatiently honking their horns.
Maytselle walked on the sidewalk, glad she had wisely chosen to walk te school. If she had taken the bus as usual, she’d probably still be stuck kilometer away
Today, she had her hair in a ponytail which made her small face even more delicate. Even dressed in a simple uniform, her striking, sun–kissed face drew frequent glances from pussing parents and students.
Such a face was destined to attract attention on campus, Some small groups of students had already started discussing “Who is that She’s quite
“You don’t know her! That’s Mabel from Class A of sene year!”
“Oh, I seem to have heard that name. She’s quite eye–catching”
“And I heard that she was excellent in every aspect.”
“Well, in her class, she’s just average. I heard from
Pretended to be serious? What did she tell your
friends that she was definitely not a top student, though she often pretended to be serious.”
There are quite a few rumors about her at school. I’ve heard that ever since the first day of school..many boys have been mad about her over the years. I even heard that a school doctor got fired for chasing after her. And the captain of the school basketball team seems to have been chasing her for quite a while too. But she just ignores everyone, using the excuse that she doesn’t want to start dating so early. Don’t you think she’s a poser!”
“Well, in’t it normal to not want to dine? Why do you speak of her like that?”
“Yeah, maybe she’s just using it as an excuse to turn people down.”
“Did you even understand what I meant? She acts all aloof every day, but her grades aren’t that good either! I guess she just flirts with people everywhere and then pretends to be noble, enjoying the fun of having admirers!”
y she’s keeping admirers?”
“It’s not nice to say dut about someone. Do you have any evidence to say
“Wait, the captain of the basketball team! Oh, isn’t he the senior you have a crush on Are you saying all this because you’re jealous of her!” “No, I’m not.” The girl who spoke earlier was suddenly a bat defensive. “And besides, I’ve heard she takes the bus to school every day, she even attends parent–teacher meetings by herself. She must be trying to find a rich sugar daddy, Hey, don’t leave, wait for me.”
Maybelle didn’t pay attention to other’s comments. Having chance to live a life again, she completely understood that they were niergly acting out of jealousy
Not to mention the past, the Harper family’s financial status was definitely among profile and preferred not to stand out at school, trying to keeps her lifestyle similar to that of ordinary students.

Let alone now, even though she hadn’t officially taken over the businesses left by her parents, just the assets given to her by hundreds of billions of dollars. If she wanted, she could easily spend a little money and buy the whole Austin School anytime.
To her, school was a place incant for dedicated academic competition, and being too ostentatious would never be a good thing This was her last semester at school. She only wanted to smoothly get through the SAT in a few months.
Mabel There w
you are! A familiar voice called from behind her. A short–haired girl was sitting in a car, waving to her from a distance. As Maybelle turned her head, she saw the girl eagerly jump out of the car and affectionately wrap her arm around Maybelle’s “I missed you so much over the break! Did you miss mej”

Chapter 65
Maybelle looked at the face before her, with an inexplicable anger swirling in her eyes, Josie Lawson was someone she considered her best friend during middle school
Since the first year of high school, the two had been thick as thieves. Maybelle had always been somewhat cold and didn’t love to talk, while Josie was like a bright little sun in her presence
In her previous life, Maybelle always regarded Josie as her best friend, giving up her place in competition for Josic, helping Josie create opportunities with the boy she liked, and standing up for her after she encountered a scumbag. Maybelle had done a lot for her..
Josie’s parents ran a small business in Linburn City and were somewhat in the same line of work as the Harper family. Her parents were also acquaintances of Oscar and his wife, so she was one of the few in school who knew about Maybelle being the Harper family’s adopted daughter.
In her previous life, this so–called best friend repeatedly betrayed her. Even though she knew that Maybelle’s family situation wasn’t as bad as their classmates imagined, she would still quietly spread rumors in front of other students, accusing Maybelle of being a kept woman‘ or ‘finding a sugar daddy‘ whenever Maybelle wore anything slightly expensive to school, leading classmates to judge her.
After Rhea transferred to Austin School, she flaunted her wealth openly, Josie, in order to curry favor with the real heiress of the Harper family. quickly abandoned Maybelle as a friend and joined Rhea’s small circle, leading the way in constantly framing and bullying Maybelle in school.
It was then Maybelle realized that the reason Josie was friendly with her for the past few years was merely because she thought Maybelle was good- looking and that being around her drew more attention from others.
Later, when Rhea appeared with her Heiress‘ tag and became incredibly popular at school, Josie decisively turned her back on her and began to flatter Rhea every day.
They continuously spread rumors in school, and eventually, even the school authorities sized Maybelle up in a negative way, causing her to be nearly expelled before the SAT.
In this life, looking into Josie’s eyes. Maybelle answered word by word, “Yes, I do, I really miss you a lot.”
