He had already finished the painting before Shawn completed the video shoot.I paid the ghost painter his fee, and he left first.

Tranquility Chapter 9: Clues
However, the events that happened during this time did have an impact on me. Someone exposed me on the school's confession wall, and even the photos of my parents causing a scene at Beatrice's school, with me coldly watching on the side."She’s so heartless.""Her parents are almost driven crazy by her sister, yet she can still watch their conflict with such indifference.""Yeah, being in the same family with her must be pitiful."The confession wall was filled with criticism and gossip about me, but I paid no attention. However, my roommate couldn't stand seeing me being treated unfairly and engaged in verbal battles with others.“You mentioned that she's observing their conflict coldly, but have you thought about the fact that she worked throughout the summer to pay for her tuition and is currently balancing three jobs to support herself? What did her parent do to help her in this situation?"Would you have called Lily heartless if you had parents like her who forced you to giv
Tranquility Chapter 10: Seizing the Opportunity
The pace at which internet trends shift was incredibly fast.Once Beatrice and Shawn had promoted their affectionate daily life for a period, the excitement slowly faded away.They didn't have many other options because, in reality, both of them only had superficial skills. It's like the saying goes, “When you ride the wave of the current trends, even the unlikely can succeed." However, that kind of success wouldn't last long.Nevertheless, during this time, they earned quite a lot."Shawn, I like this car~" Beatrice pointed to a car on her phone, playfully asking Shawn to buy it for her.Shawn's gaze evaded her, and he chuckled, "Dear, this..."It was only at this moment that Beatrice realized something was wrong. After some pressing questions, Shawn reluctantly told her the truth."While I did sign a contract with the company, they take a significant portion of my earnings. Additionally, the company provides a separate payment for essential expenses such as food, clothing, hou
Tranquility Chapter 11: Dramas
That evening, Beatrice posted another lengthy essay, condemning me as selfish and profit-driven.The angered online users became even more furious, with some going as far as threatening to expose my personal information and tarnish my reputation at my university.But now, the moment had arrived. I utilized my verified social media account, identifying myself as the head of the Operations Department at West Light Media, to share two recorded audio clips.In the first recording, Beatrice's voice was not very clear but audible enough."I've checked. There are many affluent individuals here who are interested in college girls. Whoever introduces them earns two thousand dollars each time."If she had obediently followed our parents' advice and worked to support me, things wouldn't have escalated to this point today. She owes me all of this."The second recording featured Beatrice's voice very clearly."I want you to transfer all the earnings we've made with Shawn during this time to
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
