After an earthquake, my sister and I help to rescue the victims. I save a wealthy woman who adopts me as her daughter. I become the sole heiress to an astronomical fortune. My sister saves a regular person. All she gets as thanks is a few thousand dollars. She thinks life is unfair and drags me to die with her. When I open my eyes again, I'm looking at the debris from the earthquake. This time, my sister rushes to save the wealthy woman. She says smugly, "It's my turn to be a rich heiress!"

Turning the Tables on Life Chapter 8
After a while, Wanda clutched her stomach as intense pain coursed through her. She spat out a mouthful of blood. She belatedly realized what had happened and swept the glass of milk off the table, making it shatter on the floor. Then, she slapped Lila. "What did you put in the milk? When did you learn the truth?"Lila's expression darkened when she heard her words. She snarled, "I put whatever you put in my soup but at a hundred times the dosage."Wanda was furious. She spat out another mouthful of blood as she cried, "You bitch! How dare you hurt me before I get revenge on you! You wouldn't be where you are now if not for me bringing you to Cordon City. You're an ingrate!"Lila screamed, "Who's the ingrate here? I saved you, yet you blamed me for not saving your daughter! You always blame others, but did you stop to think about whether you would've chosen to save yourself or your daughter? "You would've chosen yourself because you're a selfish coward! You would've died if not f

One night, I dropped Wanda home after a dinner party. Lila gave me a glass of milk to help with the liquor.I enjoyed the night breeze while standing on the balcony. Lila's face was shrouded in shadows, and her voice was soft as she said, "All of you treat me like a fool."I turned to look at her. She grew agitated and snarled, "You all think I'm a fool! I stole the butler's phone and learned that you're now the Lawson family's heiress. No one told me about that and instead kept me locked up in here. You've all lied to me and treated me like a fool!"I hate you, Holly. Why did you have to show up here? Why couldn't you have just stayed in that small town? I've lost everything because of you. I've lost Mom's love, the Lawson family fortune, and even Blake. I was the one who fell for him first—why did you have to take even him from me?"She sobbed. I sensed her pain and resentment. Instead of mocking her or laughing at her, I said calmly, "You should hate someone else. Do you t

I had to get a suture for my wound. Blake and Wanda waited for me in the corridor.Once my wound was tended to, Wanda gave me a complicated look and asked, "How could you be so silly? Would you have taken a bullet for me, too?"I gave her a dazed look before smiling and saying, "I honestly didn't have time to consider the situation. I only remember thinking that I couldn't let the glass scratch your face, Ms. Lawson."She stepped forward, making the shadows that had clouded her face disappear. Only then did I get a clear look at her expression. The wariness and appraisal that had filled her gaze had disappeared—she'd finally started allowing me to enter her heart."You should stay at the Lawson residence for a while since you're injured. Don't return to campus. It'll be easier for me to get someone to care for you and speed up your recovery," she said.I lowered my gaze at her words. It looked like this move had been a risky yet rewarding one.Once she left, Blake started throwin

I was socializing in a banquet hall when a glass of wine was suddenly poured over me. Lila stood before me, looking obnoxious as she fixed a revolted gaze on me. "Why do you haunt me like a ghost, Holly? Today is my mother's birthday—who allowed you to be here?"How can someone of your social status deserve to be here? I bet you came here to try to latch onto someone rich. How disgusting! I don't care how you sneaked in here, but you need to get the hell out now!"Before I could say anything, an angry voice rang out to berate her, "I was the one who invited her here. Do you have anything to say about it?"It was Wanda. She scowled at Lila, looking displeased. "Is this how you're supposed to treat a guest, Lila? Where are the manners I taught you? How can you be so rude? Apologize to Holly now!"Lila looked aggrieved. "How can you side with an outsider, Mom? She's just an orphan from a small town, but I'm the Lawson family's heiress. So what if I've insulted her? No one would dare

I'd heard about Wanda, the CEO of Lawson Group, attending the welcoming ceremony before the semester started. That was why I'd participated in the selection for the freshman representative.I knew Lila was only a figurehead heiress. This meant Wanda needed someone to actually take over for her. Where better to search for someone like that than the country's top college?This welcoming ceremony was my chance. I had to make myself stand out and catch Wanda's attention. I needed to pique her interest in me. It was the only way for me to get revenge on her for the things she'd done to me in my past life.As expected, my performance during the welcoming ceremony caught Wanda's attention. It was far from enough, though.Before the ceremony ended, Lila stormed over to me and forced through gritted teeth, "You're just a dumb freshman representative. What's there to be so smug about? I'm the Lawson family's sole heiress—you can work hard for the rest of your life, but you'll never catch up

Many people were willing to pay a handsome sum for Blake's notes—they weren't easy to find, yet I'd gotten a bag full of them without even knowing it! I couldn't believe Mr. Stone was Blake's father!Lila hadn't gotten these notes in her past life, yet I'd gotten them because of my kindness.My shock grew as I went through the rest of the notes. They were neatly labeled and arranged by subject and difficulty. This was a priceless treasure that had been bestowed upon me without me even realizing it.I called Mr. Stone with trembling hands. "Why didn't you mention that your son was the legendary Blake Stone, Mr. Stone?"He laughed on the other end of the line. Then, he said, "You saved my life, Holly. Giving you his notes is the least I can do—I can even make him tutor you privately!"I laughed, thinking he was just joking. Blake was probably busy doing experiments at the country's best college. How could he have time to tutor a nobody like me?However, one day, a tall figure appea

In my past life, I was brought to a riverside villa to live with Wanda. She would personally cook soup for me daily and express her concern. She treated me like a princess.I'd naively thought my life had changed for the better until I accidentally overheard her conversation with the butler. What I'd heard made a chill run down my spine and destroy my fantasy.It turned out that a large piece of cement had crashed on two people during the earthquake. Moving it would save one person but fatally crush the other.At the time, I'd only heard Wanda's pleas for help. I hadn't noticed another young woman underneath the rubble. Wanda had been saved, but her only daughter had been crushed to death. Because of that, she thought of me as her daughter's murderer.She'd been in the study when talking to the butler. Her voice had been filled with hatred as she said, "Holly York committed murder. She killed my only daughter so she could get her hands on my fortune—she's evil and inhumane!"My da

After an earthquake, my sister, Lila York, and I joined a search and rescue team.In my past life, she dug through the debris half-heartedly, looking tired and resigned. This time, she was beyond excited. Her facial muscles twitched and twisted with her agitation.To prevent me from stopping her, she shoved me to the ground and threw pieces of debris at my legs. Then, she ran to a spot in the debris where a wealthy woman was trapped. As she excitedly dug through the rubble, she muttered, "I'm going to be the heiress this time. I'm going to be rich!"That was when I knew that she'd also been reborn.Lila and I were orphans from the same orphanage. We'd grown up together and relied on each other.
