Chapter 21
Helen’s face darkened as she signaled to Lily, who was holding a bag of blood prepared for Lea.
At the sight of Lea, Lily was dumbfounded for a moment.
Similarly, upon hearing that she was Lea, everyone was astonished and burst into a wild discussion,
“She’s that good–for–nothing? Are you kidding me?” one girl started in disbelief
“That dumb slacker? Hell no!” Another one laughed with some throbbing conter
contempt.
“No way! You all know what kind of trash she is!” The discrimination toward Lea kept going
Matilda bribed Lea into Vaporleon High School. From the first day of Lea’s freshman year, this secret was known to all. Due to the high price paid by Matilda and connections of the Berry family, Lea managed to stay in the top class.
Many wealthy students entered the school through such means, lacking academic talent but boasting strong backgrounds and outward appearances, and thus managed to secure a place within the sturlends
However, Len was a different story. Always scoring zero on exams, she was disheveled with long hair covering her face. Rarely did she speak, and when she did, her voice was barely more than a whisper. Her pasture was perpetually hunched, as if she were trying to make herself invisible.
Not only were the gifted geniuses and the wealthy kids disdainful of her, but Lea herself also seemned to have a deep disdain toward herself.
As a result, after three years as classmates, no one had seen her face.
Everyone despised her, looked down on her, and felt ashamed to be her classmate, detesting every moment spent in the same room, yet they had to tolerate her presence because of the Berry family’s influence.
Misfit, underachiever, idiot… were the labels attached to her.
Unperturbed by the collective astonishment and barrage of inquiries, Lea remained indifferent, ber gaze honing in sharply on the blood bag cradled in Lily’s hand.
Memories flowed into her mind. On her first day of high school, Helen had led a group to bully her
Lily splashed blood on her school uniform, causing her to be ridiculed by all the boys and mocked by all the girls in the school,
Some hud even dumped a trash can on her head, calling her garbage. Yet she didn’t dare to fight back, for if she did. Helen would be displeased and complain to Matilda, whose torment would be even more cruel and lethal.
As a result, Lea endured three years of bullying from Helen and her gang.
In her past life. Les believed that her ticket to freedom lay solely in conquering the SAT exam–1 means to break free from the clutches of the Berry family and the confines of Vaporicon City. Little did she know, they destoyed her before that..
“Get out of my way! Minions, Lea taunted
The sentence left Lily visibly startled. She looked at Helen, meeting her sharp gaze. Hesitantly, she aimed to splash the blood on Lea
To her shock, Lea snatched the blood bag away and splashed it all over her face.
The scream was instantly heard, catching the attention of a lot of onlookers.
“Is that Lea! She actually fought back! Fierce! What a badass! She’s completely something else now!” the onlookers chattered on.
Helen, furious, charged forward
To her great horror, Lea held up the phone in front of her, playing the live footage from Grandpa’s birthday party, where she was moaning under a Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
man
“Helen, do you truly believe that dolling yourself up will somehow erase what you’ve done! The facts can’t be erased.” Lea’s voice was dripping with hatred.
Helen felt a thunderous blow in her mind upon hearing Lea’s words, wondering. ‘Hadn’t they cleaned up all the videos? How did she get it?
Lea’s lips curled into a cold smirk.
At the birthday party, she hacked into the recording system with her phone and obtained the original high–definition content.
12.07 FM
Seeing her smile, Helen completely lost her cool, rearing, “Bitch, I’ll kill you!”
“How!” Lea was not daunted by her a bit.
“My mother won’t let you of Helen went on threatening her.
“Oh really?” Lea played another video, shoving it in Helen’s face. “Seet She’s on her knees begging for mercy, apologizing to me. Plus, the compensated me with 33 of the shares, the same amount of Berry Group’s shares you have, worth around 600 million dollars. No, with the stock price rising now, it’s nearly 800 million dollars.”
Although everyone here was born with a silver spoon, 800 million dollars still loomed as a staggering sum for them now. Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief at Lea’s words.
At the same time, Lea continued to sting Helen. “And your mother was demoted from vice executive president to a mere department manager”
No way!
No way! It can’t bel” Helen was in despair, shouting. “My mother wouldn’t… She’s omnipotent. Give… give me your phone!”
With that, she lunged over frantically.
Lea simply raised her phone and sidestepped, causing Helen to stumble and fall to the ground.
Humiliated and ashamed, tears streamed down her face, shattering her epitome of dignity and perfection as a rich lady.
“Want to see it? Sure, Ill send it to you” Lea provoked.
Shortly after, the
e sounds of phones receiving messages filled the air.
“Oops, I’m sorry. I think I missent it to the class group chat,” Lea said in a feigned innocence.
Shaking in horror, Helen pulled out her phone, and saw the video of Matilda kneeling and begging for forgiveness.
In the video, her clothes were soaked, her long hair clung weily to her face, her makeup was completely ruined, and she was a mess of tears and
Helen was paralyzed with fear at the sight of such a Matilda. Son were her classmates.
“Is this really Matilda, the first lady of Vaporleon?” Someone began the mockey.
“No way! She’s so ugly without makeup!”
“I thought she was always high–class, dressed in designer clothes, as elegant as a movie star!”
“This is hilarious. Oh my… Gay laughter filled the air.
“Oh, you guys don’t know yet. My mom is her die–hard fan. She buys the same clothes and even copies her makeup. I’m going to send this to her….! just did, and she’s already puked. Another one joined the fun.
The taunting voices and sarcastic smiles around Helen left ber feel the world crumbling. Once, she was the wealthiest under–eighteen in Vaporleon, a prodigy, the epitome of a perfect debutante, and a princess.
Now, however, she became the object of ridicule for all
She looked up at Lea, who stood towering before her. The realization struck her like a thunderbolt–it was Lea who had orchestrated the downfall. of her reputation at her grandfather’s birthday and it was Lea who recorded a video of her mother, leading to her being mocked at school.
“You bitch! I’ll kill you!” Helen roared in rage
As she reached out to strangle Lea, Lea raised her phone again. “Shall I send this one to the group as well?”
The impact was instant. Helen crumpled to her knees at Lea’s feet, tears streaming as she begged “No, please, I beg you…”
If Lea posted this in the class group, it would spread throughout the school, then onto the internet, and soon everyone in the city, no, the whole world would know, and she would truly be over.
“You’re begging me? I’m sorry. Your voice is too soft. I didn’t hear it.” Lea was ruthless.
Helen was taken aback for a second, then glanced around at the surrounding classmates and instantly understood Lea was doing it on purpose.
Lea’s fingers moved slowly, with a deliberate grace.
“Please, I’m begging you!” Helen raised her voice.

“Louder!” Lea shouted.
“I beg you, please… please Helen held onto her foot, pleading, “Lea, we grew up under the same roof. We’ve been sisters for nineteen years, haven’t we? I’ll make up for everything I did wrong before. 171 change. I’ll make it up to you.”
Lea’s eyes gradually grew darker, pitch–black like a hole capable of swallowing everything.
They threw her son
Indeed, they had been sisters for nineteen years. She called Matilda mother for nineteen years, but what did she get in return? They to his death!i
The hatred buried deep within Lea, like churning magma, surged forth. “Oops, I’m sorry. My hand slipped. It was sent.”
