Chapter 15

Author: Sweet Chocolate
The screen plunged into darkness.

I steadied myself, then turned back to the camera.

"I know the Scott family hates me. They think I should have disappeared like every other person they’ve bullied and crushed—erased, forgotten, reduced to dust.

"But I refuse to accept that fate.

"Why should you get to bully people without consequences? Why should you get to spread lies until they become ‘truth’?"

"This world doesn’t belong to the Scott family. It belongs to everyone. The truth will always find its way through the shadows."

I exhaled, then delivered the final blow.

"Now, I am officially filing a report against the Scott family—on charges of attempted murder, illegal business dealings, and market monopoly."

The screen flickered, cutting to a set of documents, each stamped with the Scott Corporation’s official seal.

Then came a series of clandestine photographs.

They were images taken from hidden angles, capturing extravagant parties bathed in excess.

Every person in those photos was pow

    It appeared that I got tricked into coming home under the pretense of a family dinner, only to be beaten to death by my adoptive parents in my past life. Before I died, their twisted faces loomed over me. "We only raised you for Stacy. Now that she's gone, what reason do you have to live?" A baseball bat struck my head. Warm blood streamed down, blurring my vision. ... I suddenly opened my eyes in the darkness. The sharp clarity of my surroundings stunned me for a moment. Bright sunlight filled the familiar room. My adoptive mother and younger sister sat right in front of me. Then, my mother’s anxious voice rang out. "Stacy, what’s going on? Your teacher called, saying you applied to transfer classes, and not just any class, but the worst-performing one in the entire grade?" Across from me, Stacy Lowe lifted her head slightly, hesitating. "Transfer… classes?" She blinked, as if finally processing what was happening. Her gaze flickered around the room before

    In this house, my room had no lock because I wasn’t allowed any privacy. Stacy stood by my bed, her icy, resentful gaze sweeping over me inch by inch. Then, suddenly, she laughed. "Sis, this time, it’s your turn to get bullied by him. To fall into a twisted love-hate relationship with him." I wasn’t sure if she arranged something in advance, but the next morning, the moment I stepped into Class Thirteen with my backpack, a book came flying straight at me. I tilted my head slightly and dodged it. A lazy voice sounded from up ahead. "Who said you could dodge?" Nicholas lounged in his chair, legs crossed and propped up on the desk, looking at me with an air of arrogance. "Forget it, I’ll give you a chance."Pick up the book, hand it to me respectfully, and let me throw it again. Then I’ll let you off for the morning." Hearing his words, my eyelashes fluttered slightly. I bent down, picked up the book from the floor, and walked toward him, step by step. The guys sta

    I suddenly curled my lips into a faint smile. "It’s fine. Don’t get yourselves involved." …The moment I stepped out of the classroom, Nicholas and his lackeys shoved me into the equipment room at the far end of the field. Inside, I was met with a painfully familiar face—Stacy.Nicholas stood beside her, tilting his chin toward me. "So, this is the so-called sister who thinks she can throw her weight around just because your family owes her a favor?" "Mm." Stacy responded indifferently, then added, "But you shouldn’t bully her like this. I don’t want to become someone like her." She played the part well—stubborn, aloof, and full of self-righteousness. A far cry from the girl in my past life who once sobbed and begged Nicholas not to break up with her. She must have learned something after reliving her life—Nicholas was the kind of bastard who only grew more interested when he was ignored. Sure enough, at her resistance, his gaze softened with a hint of admiration.

    The younger generation of the Scott family was at each other’s throats, fighting for the shares left behind by their late patriarch.At a time like this, even the smallest mistake could be turned into a weapon.Juliette would never let her brother ruin her plans, but she also wouldn’t take kindly to being used by me.Before leaving, she shot me an emotionless glance, as if I were nothing more than an ant on the side of the road.The message in her eyes was clear—once the internal power struggle in the Scott family settled, Nicholas would be free to deal with me however he pleased.I met her gaze head-on and silently mouthed, “See you next time.”…Stacy stared at me for a long moment before suddenly breaking into a laugh."Juliette Scott actually showed up here… I see now. You’ve come back from the past too."She gave me a smug, taunting look."But so what? Now, I’m Nicholas’ first love. You’re the one getting bullied. And once the Scott family sorts out their internal mess, let’s see

    "Before that happens, you might just meet your end first." …By the time the second monthly exam results were released, the entire school was in an uproar. Class Thirteen, the so-called worst class in the grade, had skyrocketed to third place in average scores. What even more shocking was that the two spots in the top ten rankings now belonged to students from Class Thirteen. It didn’t take long for the school administrators to take notice. They showed up at Class Thirteen’s classroom, wanting to understand what caused such a drastic change. Sophie gave them a straightforward answer. "It’s all thanks to our class rep, Lucy Lowe. She’s been tutoring all of us in private." "Lucy Lowe? The girl the Lowe family adopted? If I remember correctly, she placed second on the entrance exam, didn’t she?" "She ranked first this time." "Who transferred her to Class Thirteen?" Some of the school leaders still remembered me and exchanged looks before asking Sophie, "Where is she

    I couldn’t help but laugh. "So, the school does know that the students in Class Thirteen have had a rough time." The teacher’s face stiffened with embarrassment. I let them squirm for a few seconds before continuing. "But since you’ve already put it that way, let’s do it your way. "However, I want the scholarship to be awarded under a different name—given as a reward to every student in Class Thirteen who has shown significant improvement, except for that privilege kid and his loyal followers." …The school acted quickly. Within days, the scholarship was distributed to Class Thirteen under the label of an "Outstanding Progress Award." When the news reached the classroom, Sophie and Jenna were visibly shaken. "I don’t want this money." Sophie’s eyes were red as she looked at me. "He should have been forced to apologize and admit his mistakes. If we had arrived a second later, your hand—" "Don’t worry, I planned everything—the exact moment the first bell rang, the t

    I took a bite of my sandwich, expressionless, then raised my hand. "Security." Two guards responded immediately. "This woman seems to be mentally unstable. Please take care of it." She was dragged away, kicking and screaming, and by the end of the day, my adoptive mother had called me more than ten times. I didn’t answer a single one. Instead, I told my senior researcher that I’d be staying at the institute and buried myself in the lab. It wasn’t until our project reached a temporary conclusion that I heard the news that Stacy was dead. My adoptive mother used the excuse of a final "family dinner" in her honor to lure me home. Then, she and my adoptive father killed me. …I jolted awake. Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silver glow across the room. The phantom pain of my skull shattering under a baseball bat still lingered in my bones. I stared at the crescent moon for a long moment before curling my lips into a smile. "There won’t be a next

    The accusation was simple:"She’s just an undergrad who hasn’t even graduated yet. How could she possibly have developed that kind of chip, let alone publish three top-tier research papers back-to-back?"The confrontation outside the exam hall three years ago was dredged up again, but this time, the narrative had shifted.Now, they claimed I had orchestrated the entire scandal to build a reputation for myself."Think about it, she still managed to take the exam and even ranked first in the province. Doesn’t that seem a little too unbelievable?""Exactly. If she were just some average nobody, would she really be living this comfortably after crossing the Scott family?""I heard she won gold in the International Hardware Design Competition the moment she entered college. What kind of ‘ordinary student’ pulls that off?""Her professor must be shady too!"The Scott family was always experts at controlling public opinion.Three years ago, I only managed to turn the tide because I struck fir

    As she spoke, the smugness in her eyes was impossible to miss.And in that instant, I understood.She came here for one reason only—to gloat.In this life, she finally gotten what she wanted.She had been accepted by the Scott family.She was so ridiculously pleased with herself that I didn’t even feel like wasting another word on her.I turned on my heel to leave.Behind me, she shouted, her voice shrill with frustration."You really think this will last? That scandal is old news. Once Nicholas comes back, no one will be able to save you!""Lucy Lowe, I’ll be laughing when I watch you go down!"…The next time I saw Nicholas was three years later at an industry conference.I came with Jenna, and we walked through the massive exhibition hall together, the vaulted ceiling filtering in beams of soft light.She turned to me, her expression thoughtful."Sophie called me this morning. She passed her interview and will be starting her internship next week."She paused before adding, "Everyon

    About a week later, Velma invited me to her home. The first thing she asked was the same question Jenna asked me back in the hospital. "How did you know those two journalists would help you?" But this time, there was a difference. "You didn’t contact anyone else. You went straight to them without testing other options, which means you were absolutely certain from the very beginning how they would respond."You didn’t even go through much trouble to track down their contact information. "And even before that, you sent an anonymous letter to the Scott family." The room was quiet, the drawn curtains muting the outside world. I met her gaze, my expression calm. My mother passed away when I was very young. After my father died, I was sent to live with the Lowes. For a long time, I had no idea what it felt like to be cared for—to have the unconditional support of an adult until I met my mentor in my past life. Back then, I had been buried in work, trying to finalize a re

    In the end, the Scott family paid a steep price to suppress the scandal and shift public opinion.To avoid further scrutiny, Nicholas was sent abroad for higher education—though everyone knew it was just an excuse to get him out of the country.Meanwhile, I returned to school with every single student from Class Thirteen, ready to claim the recognition we had earned.For the first time in history, the lowest-ranked class in the entire grade had every student pass the college entrance exam.Not a single one was left behind.Jenna, in particular, had scored an impressive 1540 on the SAT—securing her a place at a top-tier university right next to mine.The principal, practically glowing with pride, shook my hand over and over, his face flushed with excitement."You’ve done something incredible, Lucy! The school owes you a great debt. We’ll be awarding you a generous scholarship—"I smiled. "Sir, I’m sure you’ve already heard about what happened outside the exam hall."His enthusiasm falte

    "Because the brave will always be brave. And those who stand for justice will always stand for justice."In my past life, a major scandal had erupted at a neighboring university.A professor had spent years fabricating research and embezzling millions in funding, but in the end, he was exposed and reported by dozens of his own former students.Leading the charge were two young and fearless female journalists.One was named Anna Reeves, the other Leah Brooks.This time around, when I reached out to them, they were still just interns.After I laid out my plan to blow everything wide open, they didn’t hesitate to question me."If you already knew what he was going to do, you could’ve just avoided the danger altogether. There was no need to risk yourself like that," Anna said over the phone, her voice filled with confusion."Because I don’t just want to avoid him this time."I twirled a butterfly knife between my fingers, a faint smile playing at my lips."I’m not the only one he’s bullied

    "Go ahead. Kill me right here if you dare." Nicholas stormed out of his car, gripping the edge of the door, his expression caught between shock and fury. In the reflection of his pupils, I caught a glimpse of myself—hair disheveled, body battered and bruised, a complete mess. And yet, my bloodstained dress billowed in the wind, flaring like a battle flag. "What’s wrong? You can’t do it?" I curled my lips into a smirk, my gaze shifting past him to the two police cars speeding toward us. Then, I looked back at him, my smile laced with taunting defiance. "In that case, I think I’ll be heading inside to take my exam now." …In the suffocating heat of June, I sat down in the exam hall, where even air conditioning was a luxury we didn’t have. Sweat seeped into the raw wounds on my arm, but the pain only sharpened my focus, keeping my mind crystal clear. After finishing the two exams scheduled for the first day, I went to the hospital to have my injuries treated. Sophie c

    As Nicholas leaned down, reaching for my wrist, I moved faster.I grabbed a fistful of his hair and slammed his head straight into the wall behind him."Ahhh!—"A piercing scream tore from his throat.His lackey rushed forward, shoving me hard against the wall.Pain shot through my left shoulder as it crashed into the concrete.I could almost hear the sickening crack of bone.The agony was sharp, nearly blinding.But in my mind, one thought echoed, “Not enough.”I lifted my arm and dragged my forearm forcefully against the rough surface of the wall.Blood smeared across the stone, raw and bright.Nicholas, still hunched over in pain, was just being hauled back to his feet when he saw what I had done.He froze, staring."What the hell are you doing?!"The sun had shifted, burning away the last pockets of shadow along the quiet path.I cradled my fractured arm, watching as the fresh blood trickled down, staining the hem of my dress in vivid, striking crimson."You’ve been in this school
