0058 Beyond Redemption
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Technically, Eileen Russel was only six years old, the same age as Evely, when Francis divorced Vivienne. She was supposed to be another innocent person who was affected by her parents’ doings. However, Evie knew clearly that the six-year-old Eileen was nowhere as innocent as she was supposed to be.
With Vivienne as her mother, Eileen had been brought up in a twisted way. The mother enjoyed inflicting pain to Evely, the child of the cousin she hated and envied the most, and made sure that her daughter also punished the hated brat or watch as she was getting punished.
“You look a lot like your mother— you little bitch! Don’t look at me or I’ll pour acid on your face!”
Vivienne would always scream at her like that because Evely looked a lot like her biological mother.

REBORN: Gemini 0059 Scariest Type of Bully
Back in the faculty room, Kelly Frasier had already finished the training program and printed it out. She would be giving all the athletes a copy, and so she did not waste time and hurried out. Her office was soundproofed, and so nobody could hear what’s happening inside and vice versa. When Evie confronted Eileen in the outer office, she had no idea.“What happened?” she asked as soon as she stepped out of her office.Her colleagues were usually always busy at the beginning of the school year. But this time, they were all standing up or sitting down in their respective stations, but their attention was not in their work, but at another colleague who stood near the door. Kelly recognized him as the third year headteacher Neil Thompson. Actually, the others had been too focused on the teacher that they did not realize Kelly came out and asked a
REBORN: Gemini 0060 Some Snacks & A Mandrill
Evie Hunter returned to her classroom, but as expected it was already empty. Her classmates had already gone to their respective clubs for training. She returned to her seat, thinking of doing a bit of self-study. But when she lifted her desk to access the space inside where she placed her books, she was surprised upon seeing some snacks and candies there. Upon checking further, there were even fidget toys and instant hot bags, the one that turned hot when someone fiddled with the coin inside.Huh?Before she wondered who had left them on her desk, she saw a note there. She picked it up and read its contents, and the corner of her lips turned up into a smile.“Get well soon, Evely! Just ask us if you need anything.”It was not signed, but judging from t
REBORN: Gemini 0061 The Best Lackey
Boss? Who’s the boss?Evie continued to watch the guy in confusion. Why couldn’t she remember this guy’s name although he looked familiar?“Boss? Why are you not speaking?” the guy asked, looking like an aggrieved spoiled kid with his lips pouting.He was a big kid on boy, and so acting coquettishly like that would send anyone some shivers.“Who are you?” Evie blurted, and the boy was shocked speechless.He dramatically placed his hands over his heart as his eyes looked accusingly at Evie as if she had massacred his family and broken his heart.“Boss, you’re so heartless. You forgot about me, your most trusted underling just af

A dagger?Evie stiffened.“A dagger hung on top of his head?” she asked, and James’ head bobbed up and down.“Yes. It was really strange. It appeared out of nowhere and it was just there on top of his head ready to fall anytime.”Evie’s heart constricted. Based on the description, there was no mistaking that it was a type of Sword of Damocles. But she had to know more to be sure, although she already believed her guess by eighty percent.“What’s stranger was that when he tried to return to the cabin, he could not step out of the area. When he tried to run back to his group, he always bounced back as if hitting an invisible wall. But his friends could move freely.”
REBORN: Gemini 0063 Top Students
“Boss, why do you look happy?” James complained. “We had a traumatic experience— that’s not funny.”The mandrill was acting so coquettishly again that Evie itched to whack him.“Continue with the story,” she growled, and as if scared to make her angry, her best lackey followed her orders.“Rich warned us not to go. He was holding me tight so I was not able to move and the guys stopped too because he was starting to panic. The other group went ahead and one of them got trapped. Rich kept saying there’s a wall and not to cross the wall or we’ll all die. In the end, before the guy who got trapped inside also went crazy and ran away, Rich screamed about monsters and the other guy was gone.”James let out a heavy sigh. “It was so spooky. Rich got so scared about the trip— shocked so we went home the next day. He told us not to go back or we’ll die.” Evie was silent for a while. Sure enough Rich could see the elementals. If she was not mistaken, he had seen the gate master as well, the re
REBORN: Gemini 0064 Like A Boss
The bell rang and as expected, the mandrill came to pick Evie up on time. In reality, she was the only one in her classroom and did nothing the whole day but eat snacks and read notes. She could have just gone to search for James herself. But she was too lazy to deal with the curious gazes of people who both did and did not recognize her.Those who did not recognize her looked at her because they wanted to know who she was. The kind ones wanted to be friendly, while the others looked down on her obviously as she was wearing the school uniform, indicating her “status” as a scholarship student. This was technically not the case, but most often than not, those from good families would try to flaunt their wealth by wearing expensive clothes and accessories to try to mix in and increase their network within the circle.In short, those snotty rich kids would not be caught wearing the uniform unless required. But the cue word was “snotty”. Surprisingly, those who were really part of the uppe
REBORN: Gemini 0065 The Kings
Evely… did that?Evie had no impression nor recollection of the mentioned event. She sighed heavily, realizing that more and more things were missing from her memory. It was frustrating. She now had a hunch that maybe, in that abyss where she inherited the kaleidoscope of memories, there was a series of recollections that she had missed.Or the fragments of memories were taken as payment for her rebirth just as Dr. Carl Jensen had suggested…Either way, at this point, instead of her worry worsening, she was feeling more like giving up on ever regaining the lost memories. She felt that she would have more trouble if she focused too much on those. If she did not really get them back after hoping and waiting so much, then that would have just wasted her time and feelings.What’s more important was what’s going on at present. If ever, she had returned to the time when Evely still did not mess up her life. The things she knew in the past might not be applicable in this lifetime anymore.Th
REBORN: Gemini 0066 Philosophical
“But it’s still not nice of them to talk about you and your family when they don’t know anything, right?”Evie was amused.“Yeah, it’s not nice. But so what? Can you stop people from talking? Even if you scold them one by one, who can guarantee that they will stop gossiping about you when you’re no longer in their presence?”Of course, James had nothing to say about it. After all, it’s the truth.“Why does she look like Uncle Francis, anyway? That’s weird, no? It’s easy for people to misunderstand,” he grumbled and Evie laughed at his naivete.She secretly flicked her hand towards the driver. It might appear as nothing to others, but she had plugged the man’s ears so he wouldn’t hear any of their conversation. Also, in the man’s eyes, she and James were not speaking at all but quietly sitting at the back. This would cost a lot of her energy, but she did not mind. It’s better than for others to hear them, she thought, before speaking to James.“Ever heard of plastic surgery?” she asked

“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

“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
