Reborn From Sweet to Sinister

I pulled Liam over and, right in front of those two cheaters, signed the sponsorship contract and exchanged contact information with him. Ignoring Denise’s clenched teeth, I grabbed my bag and turned to leave. But I hadn’t made it far before Vincent blocked my way.Tears filled his eyes as he looked at me, and he immediately began, "Suzy, is this really how you think of me? It’s okay, I’ll keep loving you as I’ve always been, waiting for the moment you turn back..."I poked him in the chest with my finger, interrupting his dramatic speech. "Oh, right, I got so busy scolding her that I almost forgot about you.""Don’t bother with that ‘devoted man’ act. You’re just as cheap as those worthless gifts you sent me with free shipping."Ever since I was born, I’ve been used to nothing but the finest things in life. Every now and then, I might entertain something cheap just for the novelty, but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking you’re anything special."Watching him stumble backward with

The Young family was indeed facing significant internal problems. Somehow, confidential files from a new project had been leaked to a rival company. The entire company was working tirelessly to minimize the damage.Recently, Liam had earned my mother’s approval, and he was now helping me work overtime as part of the team. After a grueling week, the crisis was finally averted. I exhaled in relief and collapsed into a deep sleep, completely exhausted.But it seemed the universe wasn’t ready to let me rest. I was jolted awake by Liam, still groggy and disoriented. His face was unusually serious, his sharp features tense, his eyes dark with concern.I focused on the phone he handed me, and any trace of sleep vanished instantly.At the top of the campus forum was a trending post, its title blaring, “Young family heiress bullies her classmate, her mother rumored to be a homewrecker who seduced her way to the top.”I swallowed my anger as I carefully read through the entire post. The po

She spent money extravagantly, and even with Vincent’s occasional support, she barely scraped by. Yet, in her pride, she refused to lower herself by taking a job. The scholarship was essentially her only source of income.I took this opportunity to expose Vincent’s true nature as a freeloader, something that must have stung him more than anything else—his pride was everything to him.Days passed, and Vincent still hadn’t repaid the money he owed. Just when I was ready to involve the Young family’s legal team, I received a notification—his payment had come through. Vincent had actually paid the debt.I couldn’t help but feel disappointed, but the more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Vincent had always relied on the monthly allowance I gave him. Even if he had tried to earn or borrow money, there was no way he could’ve raised such a large amount so quickly. Who was secretly helping him?Alarm bells went off in my head. I immediately reached out to some friends

I rubbed my temples, trying to relieve the tension, and continued flipping through the pages. But when I saw that the person in charge of the company was Liam, a chill crept up my spine. My hands trembled as I poured myself a cup of hot water, preparing to keep reading.Just then, a knock came at the door.I peeked through the peephole—it was Liam. He stepped inside and immediately began unpacking the bags he’d brought, heading straight to the kitchen to busy himself with dinner. I leaned quietly against the door, watching him.Though it had only been a few months, Liam’s presence had transformed. The boyishness from his student days was gone, replaced by the confidence of a mature man. His tailored suit accentuated his frame, giving him an air of refined yet effortless elegance.Could it be him?As I made my way to the dining table, the thought lingered in my mind. I couldn’t shake the possibility, though deep down, I had already reached a conclusion. Both in my heart and in my g

As I met Denise's venomous gaze, my satisfaction reached its peak.Beside me, Liam was quietly checking me over for injuries. I poked the corner of his mouth with my finger. "What’s wrong? Did I scare you?"He didn’t say a word, just pulled me into a tight embrace, holding me as if he wanted to fuse me into his very bones. I froze, feeling the warmth of his silent tears against my neck. I patted his back gently, soothing him as if comforting a child."Don’t ever do something so dangerous by yourself again," he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "When I saw you in that man’s hands, I thought my heart would stop.""I had a backup plan, didn’t I?" I replied, playfully dangling the modified necklace in front of him. It had a tiny tracking device inside, ensuring that Liam could locate me even without a phone.He took the necklace and slowly pocketed it, a hint of stubbornness in his tone. "Next time, don’t bring this. Bring me."I laughed at his seriousness and quickly agreed to his
