Tranquility Chapter 12: Do You Want Another Chance?
I felt a sense of relief after settling my score with my enemy. It was at that point that Kelly reached out to me and scheduled a meeting at a pawnshop.I was grateful to Kelly because without her initial investment of six thousand dollars, my revenge plan wouldn't have been able to progress. I would still be struggling to save money for tuition by working part-time.However, I was puzzled about why she wanted to meet me at a pawnshop. Kelly was a wealthy heiress, so what would bring her to a pawnshop?The pawnshop we met at was quite different from what I had in mind. It was located deep in an alley, well-lit, and looked no different from the trendy bubble tea shops that young girls frequented."Hello... It's you," a round-faced girl with twin ponytails behind the counter greeted me, smiling."Do... do you know me?" I asked, feeling an odd sense of familiarity when looking at her."It seems like you haven't remembered yet. Wait a moment," she replied and poured me a cup of tea.
Tranquility Chapter 1: Neglected Studies
I had a second chance at life on the day when the admission results were announced.My younger sister held my hand, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, "Sister, you're aware of our family's tight finances. It's just not possible for both of us to attend college at the same time. You have to think about our parents."Sister, you've always been there for me, taking care of everything since we were kids. Please, I beg you, do it one more time, okay?"Mom sat nearby, waving a rolling pin, saying, "There's no discussion about this matter. Lily, allow your sister to attend university. You're the older sister, why are you having a disagreement with your younger sister?”I sat silently in the chair, my mind filled with memories of my past life. It was the same in my previous life; I scored over two hundred points higher than my sister and could have gone to a prestigious university, but my mom didn't agree, saying the same things as she did today."You're the older sister, you s
Tranquility Chapter 2: Basking in Glory
The experiences of being treated as a pushover in my past life flashed before my eyes. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists tightly.Seeing me not speaking, Lily thought I was hesitating. She approached and tugged at my sleeve while pretending to cry."Sister, Mom's words might sound harsh. Allow me to apologize to you on her behalf. However, what Mom said does have a point. Your grades are outstanding, and even if you study for an extra year, you can still get into a good college. However, if I delay my studies for another year, I'm worried I won't even make it to this school."I shook her hand off and turned calmly to my parents."Dad, Mom, I haven't said anything about your favoritism toward Beatrice before, but this time, I must go to this university."Beatrice was stunned.She never expected that I, who had always been accommodating and sacrificed everything for her, would take such a firm stance this time.She suddenly stood up and stared at me fiercely."Lily, I've begg
Tranquility Chapter 3: Making Money
Because of my refusal, Beatrice locked herself in her room and cried bitterly. My dad glared at me fiercely, as if I were their enemy. My mom passed by me, deliberately scolding me loudly, "Now that you've grown independent and ruthless, it seems you've forgotten all the years of care and support you've received. It's truly unfortunate to have nurtured someone like you who hides your true nature and aims to block your sister's path to success."If this had happened in my previous life, I would have felt miserable and guilty, and I would have given up the opportunity to go to school.Unfortunately, the previous Lily, who had no boundaries when it came to accommodating them, was gone.I returned to my room in silence, listening to the commotion outside.My dad knocked on Beatrice's door and comforted her, "Darling daughter, don't be sad. I promise you that we'll do our best to secure your opportunity to go to college, alright?"My mom also tried to soothe her, "Sweetie, don't comp
Tranquility Chapter 4: The First Fortune
About half a month later, while I was working in the school cafeteria, I suddenly spotted Beatrice."Why are you working in the cafeteria?" Beatrice looked at me with some disdain.I wasn't surprised that she could enter our school, considering we were twins and looked very alike. While I was occupied with my tasks, I responded casually, "Do you have a problem with me having this job?"Beatrice snorted, "Such a disgrace. Finish up and meet me at the West Gate."After that, she left with her boyfriend, who kept glancing at passing female students.I knew why she wanted to meet me; it was probably about money. But I had no intention of giving her any. I had calculated it all out: with three part-time jobs now and some more during the winter break, I could save up enough for my sophomore year's tuition and living expenses. Then, I would work during the summer break to cover my junior year, and by the time I reached senior year, I could focus on internships.After finishing work, I e
Tranquility Chapter 5: Business Incubation Centre
I checked the calendar, and right now, there was just under six months to go before the short video trend would sweep the internet.Six months later, the short video app would quickly capture the audience's attention with its simple interface, user-friendly operation, and abundant content, creating numerous internet celebrities. Having an internet-famous boyfriend was something that countless young girls dreamt of.Should I note that despite Beatrice's questionable taste in men, she had a sharp knack for the internet? She cleverly took advantage of this opportunity by using Shawn and their love story to make money swiftly. She posted their delightful daily moments on different social media and short video platforms, garnering numerous likes and comments.Beatrice often said, "Shawn is handsome and talented; he's bound to be famous. I have complete confidence in him. He's the person who loves me most in the world, and I'm willing to give up everything for him."Their love story was
Tranquility Chapter 6: Falling into the Trap
A few days later, I found Shawn at the entrance of Beatrice's school.Shawn looked the same as before, with his messy shoulder-length hair falling over his head. He wore a deliberately worn-out leather jacket and leaned against his motorcycle, smoking a cigarette, creating an intentionally carefree and rugged image.Seeing me, Shawn furrowed his brows and asked, "You are... Beatrice's sister, right? What do you want from me?"First of all, I know nothing about and did not interfere with your relationship with Beatrice, so don’t create trouble for me.”I smiled and replied, "Rest assured, I'm not here for anything personal, and besides, we don't have any personal matters to discuss."I've come to you for business. Let me ask you, do you want to become famous, like a big internet celebrity?"Shawn seemed to hear a joke, "Lily, are you telling me a joke?"I said seriously, "Our company is about to launch a talent search program. We need to find outstanding amateur artists to partici
Tranquility Chapter 7: The Truth
A few days later, I went to look for Shawn again. "The folk singer gave up this opportunity, and your audition results were impressive. I've recommended you to the company. Do you think you can handle it?" Shawn appeared as if he had received an unexpected stroke of luck. After a brief pause, he nodded enthusiastically and said, "I'm up for it, Miss Lily. Thanks a lot."Unconsciously, he started addressing me as Miss Lily. I presented him with a contract. "Well then, congratulations on joining West Light Media." Shawn still had a trace of rationality left. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss Lily, can I take this long contract back to review before signing?" I gave him a professional yet distant smile. "Shawn, do you not trust our company or the Carter Group? If that's the case, there's no need for us to cooperate." Shawn saw that I was about to leave and quickly grabbed onto the contract. "No, no, no. I have complete trust in the company. I'll sign it right now." W
