2024-10-29 19:42:56“Mom, are you going to buy something too?”
Evie had already finished her purchases from the boutique. With the help of the shop assistants and her stepmother, Evie was able to quickly choose what she needed. She was not used to shopping, so it was nice to have Liz with her who was able to help her with her purchases.
Liz shook her head.
“I’m already done with shopping,” Liz answered as she took her hand and pulled her along.
All their purchases were handed over to the driver who took the bags back into the car.
“If you’re not buying anything, then where are we going?” she asked just as the two of them stopped in front of another boutique.

“Mom, that’s not it. I was just thinking that since I’m in my last year in high school, and the entrance exam for university is coming soon, I wouldn’t have time to attend functions,” Evie reasoned as she gave Liz a smile. “I see,” Liz murmured in understanding, before a bright smile plastered on her face. “Then let’s get the clothes, and just attend whenever you can,” she said, just as the manager returned with the bespoke collection. Although the boutique carried many different luxury brands, it also had a special local designer that was very popular in the country, called Mirage. Evie knew who the designer was. She was Lizbeth Morgan’s cousin and best friend, Mira Morgan. A sheepish smile appeared on Evie’s face. One of the people who hated Evely the most and did not bother hiding her hostility was the d
REBORN: Gemini 0040 A Familiar Boy
Evie felt heat in her chest that rushed up to her head and she blinked her eyes several times as she tried to understand what that was. Huh?She knew this sensation— she was familiar with this feeling. She was annoyed. But this was the first time she felt like doing something— anything to ease the irritation she was feeling. Her knuckles itched as if she was ready for a fight.No…Evie knew that this was Evely's usual reaction to her surroundings and not hers. She might be indifferent to others, but once provoked, she was like a loose firecracker. Someone would always end up in pain.However…Evie was not Evely. But the feeling of wanting to follow the urge to fight was strong. It was as if her body
REBORN: Gemini 0041 Cole Hill
Cousin? Evie blinked several times as she searched her inherited memories for this boy. But she could not remember him. Why? Evie found it odd. Then it occurred to her. Cole? There was only one Cole she could remember who was Liz’s relative. Cole Hall, Mira Morgan’s son. “I see,” Evie muttered to herself. She now realized why the boy looked familiar. She had seen that boy in the mirror and in Evely’s memories, but he was much older than he was now. It was no wonder she could not tell who he was at first. In Evely’s previous life, she did not meet him until Evely was twenty years old. When Mira Morgan returned to Altair with her son, she had met with Liz. They coincidentally
REBORN: Gemini 0042 A Talent for Shamelessness
The House in Hampton Hills where the Hunts live was one of the villas situated on the main road leading to the chateau far ahead. However, even if it was on the main street, it was not noisy as the houses were mostly soundproofed. Also, Hampton Hills itself was a gated luxury subdivision that only cars registered by homeowners were allowed to enter. Guests could only come in after confirming with the house owners. To say that the security was very strict was not an exaggeration. Francis Hunt was considered as one of the wealthiest men in Altair. It was not a surprise that he was able to buy a villa in Hampton Hills. However, aside from his house, the man lived a very low profile life. Unlike the other wealthy families who flaunted their wealth, Francis bought high quality things but not as flamboyant. For instance, the cars in the Hunt family. The cars in the garage were mostly Volvos and Buick Regals. Al
REBORN: Gemini 0043 Sarah Knight
“You… You’re kicking me out?”Evie looked at Sarah Knight’s dumbfounded expression and sneered.“Would you like me to say it again?” she asked, and Sarah was horrified.“But why?”Sarah’s voice was hoarse and indignant. Her eyes glared at Evie as if she was telling her how insolent she was and daring her to repeat what she said this time. Previously, whenever Evely had other ideas compared to her, this look would work as the young girl would always relent to her nanny. But Evie was not someone who cared about what Sarah thought at all.“Why?” Evie asked with a mocking expression as she walked towards the couch and sat like a queen. She was not perturbed
REBORN: Gemini 0044 She Remembers
“Bitch this, bitch that— don’t you have other vocabulary words? No wonder Evely has a foul mouth.”Evie now realized who Evely got her fish-wife mouth from. If the nanny whom she spent more time with compared to her parents had a foul mouth, it was no wonder the charge would have it too. Evie who did not cuss in her previous life but now cussed like it’s her second language felt upset. If only the hag was not still useful, she’d have sealed her foul mouth forever.But no. Sarah Knight still had a purpose. In this world and in any other world, regardless whether people believed or not, karma existed. There would be pay back to everything a person did.“Darling, you’re speaking in the third person perspective again,” Liz reminded her worriedly, and Evie pursed her
REBORN: Gemini 0045 Let A Snake In
“How can it be your fault? You’re just a child— you’re just a child…”Liz continued to sob, and Evie was not able to do anything but let her pour out her grief by lending her shoulder to cry on. The butler and the helpers had retreated to give them privacy, which Evie was grateful for.Aside from Sarah, the rest of the staff loved and cared about her parents. It was because the couple were good to them. The night when Evie returned from being kidnapped, the reason why there was no one else aside from her parents was because Francis and Liz insisted that the staff would rest around ten in the evening at the latest unless there’s a special occasion.“Mom, you really should not feel bad about it anymore. I was also really at fault. I was too stubborn so it was easy for m
REBORN: Gemini 0046 Fate & Karma
“Karma?”Lizbeth and Francis were both confused.“Dad, mom, do you think that people who do evil things will have a bad ending?”Both Liz and Francis were not religious people. Although they believed in the existence of God, they did not go to church. However, they were both believers of fate and karma. They had faith in the world giving back what one had given. If one did good things, then good things would happen to them. This was why even though the Hunts were one of the richest people in Altair, they remained humble, and were kind to their people.“Of course, we do,” Francis answered softly and Evie smiled.“Then you don’t have to worry about Sarah Knight anymore. Her just d

REBORN: Gemini 0089 Wilson Trent
“Hi! Is Kyle Simmons here? I’m his cousin. He said he will help us look around.”Richard asked in a very friendly manner, and Wilson returned his smile.“You’re Richard?” he asked back, and when the other nodded, he pointed at the seats next to the booth. “Kyle already told us about you the other day. Just sit there and wait a bit. He will be here in a while.”“Thanks,” Richard said, and the three followed his invitation and sat on the plastic chairs on the side.Wilson returned to his group and helped them attach photos of the different places the club members had been to.Actually, Kyle, Richard’s cousin, was not a member of the hiking club. He’s a member of the urban exploration team. But since the number of people were not many, and the members of the hiker’s club weren’t a lot as well, their club and the Hikers’ Club shared a booth. It was such a coincidence, but a very good coincidence on their part.The three sat quietly as they watched the people get busy. They did not offer h
REBORN: Gemini 0088 Youth Hall
“Boss, you’re here…”Evie turned to her side where the pedestrian entrance to the university was and saw both Richard and James standing there, as if waiting.“Why are you guys still there? Why didn’t you go in?”“We want to wait for you here,” they answered plainly.She was perplexed. She didn’t know what to say. She clearly didn’t want them to suffer for her, but they were just too cute and acted like her real lackeys. She didn’t know why she deserved such treatment, though. She could not really remember their past interactions, and she doubted if that gloomy Evely treated them correctly.“Fine, let’s go inside, then,” she said, and all three of them went to the gate.Altair University was not as strict to its students. They could go in and out anytime they wanted using their passes. However, not just anybody could enter the school on normal days. One had to be a student, a faculty member, or staff at the school in order to enter.Today, however, was a special day. It’s an open scho
REBORN: Gemini 0087 Unexpected Source
“Miss, the car is ready.”Evie looked up from her empty plate and saw Bernard standing a few steps away, looking regal as always. These days, she felt like a spoiled princess since the butler and all the servants took good care of her impeccably. Most often than not, before she even opened her mouth to ask for something, it’s either already prepared or already done.Bernard was really true to his title as the number one steward in Altair. He could anticipate well what his employers needed and prepared them in advance. If Evie was not sure that he was a hundred percent mortal, she would think he had an “all seeing eye”. It was a power similar to Dolya’s that could foresee the future.“Then I will go now,” she said as she picked up her bag and walked towards the entrance.Last night, she asked Bernard for directions to Altair University. Evely had never been there, as she had no memory of how to go to that school. She just knew that it was not that far from Altair City High School. But
REBORN: Gemini 0086 Cannot Afford To Be A Bully
Hazel was indignant. “Why do you talk as if you know anything? You were not there. What do you know?”Wil raised a brow at her.“Don’t deny it. You know that Eric’s brother is in your school and he saw everything.”Eric Wales was Wilson’s best friend and classmate. His younger brother was a year younger than Hazel and also attended Altair City High School. Since the incident happened at the cafeteria at lunch time, it was totally possible that her actions were witnessed by the boy.Hazel’s eyes turned glum. She was very upset with her brother and herself.“What exactly happened?”This time, Hazel had no choice but to confess. She was arrogant, but only in the premise that her powerful family had her back. But if she’s in the wrong, although they would side with her in the presence of other people, they would never let her off in private.“You did that?”Her parents looked visibly disappointed. Hazel knew that since returning to Altair and “changing” her personality, her parents had b
REBORN: Gemini 0085 Secret Arrogance
That same night, in a different part of the city, another soul was restless. Hazel Trent had been in her room since she returned from school. She had been in a bad mood since the incident at the cafeteria, and then her confrontation with her so-called friends in their classroom.“Hmph! What friends!”Hazel had been incensed since the group of people who went to the cafeteria with her had turned their backs on her.Traitors!Well, technically, they did not betray her at all. They just suddenly woke up from the trance of unreasonableness that had fogged their brains. In fact, even if they realized that Hazel had egged them on so they would tag along in intimidating Evely Hunt and get scolded by Hanz, they never blamed her, and had advised her not to do it anymore. There was no sense in antagonizing Evely Hunt, since the girl did not do anything bad to them, nor as they said, did she start any of the fights she had, even before.Also, in the week since class had started, the student hadn
REBORN: Gemini 0084 André's Call
“Of course not,” James hastily denied, making the others laugh again.“Hey Hanz, where do you plan to study next? Have you chosen your university?” Richard asked.“Altair University, of course,” he answered swiftly. “I’ll be going there tomorrow, by the way. They have an open school.”James, Richard, and Evie exchanged glances.“What’s going on?”“Nothing. We’re planning to go there too in the morning,” Evie answered.The open school would open at nine in the morning. Evie and the others planned to go there at the opening time or at least she was going to suggest they went there at the opening time before they were interrupted by the crazy group earlier. Most students arrived around an hour before lunch break onwards. Not many students went around the opening time.“Really? Let’s all go together then,” Hanz invited and the others agreed.Evie planned to rope Hanz in her group anyway since he looked like he would be hanging out with them a lot. As for James and Richard, they didn’t min
REBORN: Gemini 0083 Evely Is Not Troublesome
“You have scary fans,” Evie told Hanz in amusement as soon as the group left the cafeteria.The drama has ended, and so, the students who hung out at the canteen started dispersing. Actually, even if they disagreed with the group for being rude, it was still a fact that Evely Hunt was famous for her fighting skills, and so most of the students were afraid of her.Also, Hanz Jensen, the top student was also there and he just got angry at the group earlier, and so they did not dare hang out longer. Even those who were still eating hastened their pace. Why? Because they didn’t want to have the attention of the group consisting of Evely Hunt, Hanz Jensen, James de Lancy, and Richard Simmons, who were all famous at school.All four people, plus the missing Yann Bouchard, comprised the people who were not supposed to be crossed at school. Hanz was the top student and he had tons of fans who were ready to slap people who would dare cross him. As for the others, they were from the leading fam
REBORN: Gemini 0082 Hazel Trent
“You…”The class monitor of Class One was shocked at how Hanz Jensen had spoken to them. The Ice Prince might be cold and aloof to others, but he never scolded nor criticized anyone. They had never seen him this angry either. They tried to defend themselves but Hanz cut them off.“We were just concerned—"“I don’t need you to worry about me. I can take care of myself. You should worry about yourselves. When you attack or harass other people with your self-proclaimed justice without bothering to know the truth, that’s called bigotry. You should reflect on your actions.”Evie mentally clapped her hands as she could not do it while the people Hanz just scolded were still there. Even if she agreed with Hanz and she was displeased with the group, she didn’t feel it was correct for her to visibly gloat over their public embarrassment.Yes, public embarrassment. Because the group had caused a ruckus when they suddenly arrived with scary expressions and started scolding Evie’s group, they at
REBORN: Gemini 0081 None Of Your Business
“Excuse me?”The girl looked offended. Her expression was akin to someone who just got her shit thrown on her face, and it would have been funny if it were a joke. But the girl was seriously offended even though she was the one who was rude first.“I said you’re an idiot,” Evie repeated without mincing her words.The group looked shocked. It seemed nobody had ever told them that they were stupid before. But it was understandable considering the class they were from. But that was not the point.“Are you talking about me?”“Is there any other idiot here— ah my bad. You’re a group. Birds of a feather, flock together, and so you’re all probably stupid if you came looking for her with the same stupid reason,” Richard mocked.“How dare you call us stupid?”“But aren’t you? We’re quietly having our meal here and you came spouting nonsense disrupting us.”“We’re not spouting nonsense!”“Oh, and which part within your reasoning makes sense? Why do you claim that the boss is dragging Hanz Jense
