I was a small town girl who could only afford to go to college with a scholarship.
My roommate Olivia was the daughter of a wealthy family.
After I entered the school, she not only did not despise me, but also treated me to a five-star hotel dinner and introduced me to her childhood sweetheart Alexander Mitchell.
But when Alexander and I started dating, Olivia suddenly turned hostile.
She slandered me as a thief, knocked over my water cup, and asked all the students in the school to bully me.
Alexander also broke up with me, mocking me for being a vain ugly duckling.
I was expelled from school and jumped off the roof in despair.
When I opened my eyes again, I went back to the day when Olivia took me to meet Alexander.

Reborn to Outsmart the Rich Bully

Alexander paid me a visit, bringing fruit along. He positioned himself beside my bed, deftly peeling an apple with a small knife.


"Don't fret, I won't let Olivia off lightly. And you needn't concern yourself with the hospital expenses."


I gave him a puzzled look: "What's that supposed to mean? Have your feelings for Olivia changed?"


Alexander's hand halted. He lifted his gaze, his intense eyes meeting mine.


"I've only now grasped the true meaning of affection. My feelings for her aren't genuine. So Lily, please don't abandon me."


A shiver ran through me as I noticed his knife resting gently on my fingers.


I instinctively recoiled, but he grasped my shoulder, pressing his forehead against mine, our breaths intermingling.


However, I calmly pushed him away: "Alexander, were you already betrothed to Olivia while you were with me?"


Panic flashed in Alexander's eyes, but he leaned in closer, enveloping me in his embrace.
