On our fifteenth birthday, I heard my sister's inner thoughts: "I can't believe I've been reborn and sent back ten years. Soon, the billionaire's wife and her nanny will come together to adopt us." "In my past life, I chose the billionaire's wife, only to be tormented at every turn by her son, Liam. Looked down upon by the whole family, I was eventually kicked out." "My sister was just the nanny's adopted daughter, but she ended up marrying Liam! Why?!" So, when the billionaire's wife and the nanny appeared, my sister pushed me toward the billionaire's wife. "Sister, didn't you say you felt a connection with this auntie? Hurry up and call her Mom!" My eyes lit up. Top-tier family resources to support me? My future was so bright it could blind me! 1 I never thought that passing fifteen, nearing adulthood, someone would still want to adopt my sister and me. On the way to the orphanage director's office, my sister's voice suddenly echoed in my ears. "I can't believe I've been reborn and sent back ten years. Soon, the billionaire's wife and her nanny will come together to adopt us." "In my past life, I chose the billionaire's wife, only to be tormented at every turn by her son, Liam. Looked down upon by the whole family, I was eventually kicked out." "My sister was just the nanny's adopted daughter, but she ended up marrying Liam! Why?!" I stared at my sister for a long time, but her lips didn't move an inch. Yet, her voice kept ringing in my ears. After the initial shock, I realized something. I could hear my sister's inner thoughts! So, my sister had died once and been reborn. And in this life, she intended for me to suffer the hardships she endured in her past life, right? Noticing me staring, she looked back, immediately curving her eyes into a smile and asked, "Sister, why do you keep staring at me?" Could it be that she's also reborn? Even if she is, I'm not afraid. If I could stab her to death at her and Liam's wedding once, I can kill her again. I was horrified. So I was killed by her in my past life! My sister began to test me, "Sister, do you still hate me?" I reined in my shocked thoughts and forced a smile, "What are you talking about? Why on earth would I hate you?" My sister scrutinized me for a long time before finally confirming I hadn't been reborn. Great, she won't fight me for it later. Entering the director's office, after the director introduced our situations to the billionaire's wife and the nanny, my sister suddenly shoved me toward the director's wife (wait, billionaire's wife). "Sister, didn't you say you felt a connection with this auntie? Hurry up and call her Mom!" She was just handing the billionaire's wife over to me like that? My eyes lit up. Top-tier family resources to support me? My future was so bright it could blind me! 2 The billionaire's wife instinctively caught me, looked me up and down, and a satisfied smile curved her lips. "Your name is Chloe, right?" Looking at the approachable billionaire's wife, I felt reassured. I nodded, said yes, and hurriedly greeted her. The smile on the billionaire's wife's face grew even kinder. My sister didn't even spare us a glance. She darted over to the nanny and grabbed her hand. "Mom, take me home, Mom!" Perfect. As long as I'm not adopted by the billionaire's family, I can openly be with Liam. In this life, I must win him over! "???" Didn't she just say Liam tormented her at every turn? Then why did she still want to be with him? With such a strong obsession, no wonder she stabbed me at my wedding with Liam in her past life. Reborn just for a man? That's all she'll ever amount to in this life. I suppressed the chill and hatred in my heart, giving the billionaire's wife a small smile, "Auntie, are you willing to take me home?" According to my sister's inner thoughts, this billionaire's wife was my mother-in-law in my past life. Even though I was the nanny's adopted daughter in my past life, she still allowed me to marry her son. This mother-in-law was definitely a good person. The more I looked at her, the more connected I felt. The billionaire's wife had a gentle, dignified smile, and her voice was like a spring breeze, "Of course." Seeing the billionaire's wife chose me, the nanny agreed to take my sister home. After completing the paperwork, I got into the billionaire's wife's car. "Sister!" My sister stood by the nanny's car and called out to me, smiling and waving, "Goodbye! I wish you all the best in the future." No matter how I looked at her smile, it felt tinged with schadenfreude. Sure enough, the next second, her inner voice chimed in. Hmph, just wait for Liam to torment you. You'll be kicked out by the billionaire's wife and end up with nothing! In this life, not only Liam, but everything in the Hayes family belongs to me! She looked at the billionaire's wife again, a flash of hatred in her eyes. In my past life, this damn woman kicked me out, disregarding ten years of mother-daughter bond. She won't have it easy in this life either! Since God took pity on me and gave me a chance to be reborn, if I don't play them to death in this life, my name isn't Mia! Having finished her mental threats, my sister got into the nanny's car without looking back. "..." Who exactly was she going to play to death? Oh, she did kill me in her past life. But how did she die? Why wasn't I reborn? It's so unfair. 3 On the way, the billionaire's wife told me about her family situation. The reason she wanted to adopt a daughter was that after her first child, her uterus was damaged, and she could no longer have children. She underwent treatments for many years before finally giving up. It just so happened her nanny, who was adamantly single but wanted a child, agreed to come to the orphanage with her. I instinctively asked, "Then why didn't you choose someone younger? Younger kids don't have memories and it's easier to build a bond with them." The billionaire's wife explained that the nanny chose an older child because she was too busy to take care of a little one and needed someone who could take care of themselves. "As for me," she took my hand in hers, "I don't think it's harder to build a bond with an older child. I actually think we'll have a lot in common. What do you think?" I had no memories of my past life. I only knew that in this life, I really wanted a home. Hearing this, my nose stung, and my eyes grew moist. "Then can I call you Mom?" The billionaire's wife pulled me into her embrace, "Silly child, we've finished all the paperwork. I am your Mom now." "Mom..." my voice trembled, and tears fell uncontrollably, "Mom..." When I sat up, I realized my tears had wet her clothes, and I immediately apologized. Children growing up in orphanages are more or less sensitive and insecure, and I was no exception. The billionaire's wife's eyes also reddened, "You are my daughter, you don't need to say sorry to me." For the rest of the ride, I nestled in her embrace, the scent of her perfume lingering near my nose, my heart filled with warmth. She also told me she had a son. Her husband was extremely busy, flying all over the world and rarely home, so it was usually just her and her son at home. I already knew her son, Liam, was my husband in my past life, even though I was stabbed to death by my sister at the wedding. But right now, I didn't care about her son. I just wanted to be close to my Mom! 4 Upon arriving home, Mom immediately asked the butler to call her son down from upstairs. It took a long time before Liam finally sauntered down. I immediately stood up, instinctively stealing a few extra glances at him. He was also fifteen this year. Mom had told me he was half a year older, making him my older brother. So this was what my future husband looked like. But wait, that's not right. In this life, I'm Mom's daughter, Liam's sister, so we definitely can't be husband and wife. I couldn't give up my Mom for a husband. So, I immediately called out sweetly, "Brother!" Liam looked me up and down, curled his lip in disgust, and plopped down on the other side of Mom. He pointed at me casually, "Mom, you said you wanted a daughter. Why didn't you find someone prettier and cuter? You picked a little country bumpkin..." Mom gently rapped him on the head, "Don't speak about Chloe like that. She's your sister now." Then she warned him sternly, "Liam Hayes, you better behave. If the orphanage comes for a follow-up visit and you cause me to lose my eligibility to adopt Chloe, you'll answer to me." I looked at Mom, my eyes almost turning into stars. Even when warning someone, my Mom was so gentle. She was the best Mom in the world! "Hey!" Liam glared at me, "Why are you looking at my Mom like that? Are you boy-crazy?" "Liam!" Mom rapped him on the head again, "Don't speak to your sister like that." She commanded, "Go, shake hands with your sister and tell her you'll be a good brother. Go on!" Liam finally stood up, awkwardly extended his hand toward me, turning his face away, "Hello, I... I..." I shook his hand, "Hello, Brother. I will be a good sister from now on." Liam forcefully pulled his hand away and sat back down next to Mom. I also returned to Mom's other side, eager to be close to her, when I heard her say playfully, "Oh my goodness, my son is blushing! My son actually knows how to blush?" Liam shot up like a rocket, craning his neck and yelling, "Who's blushing? What do I have to be embarrassed about?" After finishing, he stomped back upstairs to his room. Mom and I burst into laughter. "Don't mind him, he's just a bit silly." Mom stood up, "Come, Mom will take you to see your room. It's right across from your brother's. If you need anything, just ask him. Don't be shy. That boy has a bit of an awkward personality and a sharp tongue, but he has a good heart. You just have to take the initiative." "Okay." 5 The room Mom prepared for me was as luxurious as a princess's room. I could never have imagined, not even if you beat me to death, that I would live in such a beautiful room in this life. Since my sister handed this over on a silver platter, I decided to temporarily forgive her for stabbing me in my past life. Actually, I only hated her for a moment when I learned she killed me, but since I had no actual memory of it, it didn't feel like a personal experience, and the hatred quickly dissipated. I wasn't going to dwell on it. Right now, all I knew was that I was the daughter of a billionaire family, I had excellent resources, and I needed to grasp them firmly. And I had a Mom who loved me! Oh my god, I was so happy! Mom asked me, "Is there anything else you need?" "Mom, I'd like a larger bookcase, is that okay?" I wanted to buy a lot of books. Mom was slightly surprised, but then a bright smile overflowed in her eyes, "You like reading? My fault, I forgot to prepare a study for you. No problem, we have empty rooms. I'll have them cleared out as soon as possible and get you a few more bookcases." She then handed me a bank card, "There's twenty thousand dollars in here. From now on, I'll transfer twenty thousand every month. Buy whatever you like. If it's not enough, just ask Mom." "It's enough, more than enough. Besides buying books, I don't have anywhere else to spend money." I took the bank card calmly yet gratefully, "Thank you, Mom." Mom gently stroked my hair, "Still so polite." I tilted my head and smiled, "Then I won't be polite with Mom anymore!" Unable to resist, Mom cupped my cheeks and gave me a kiss. "Ew~" Liam's voice suddenly came from the doorway, "Do you two really have to do that?" Mom gave Liam a smiling, affectionate glare and took my hand, "Don't mind him, he's just suddenly jealous of us." Liam scoffed, "What's there to be jealous of? It's better she clings to you. I find her annoying." He gave me another look and left. Mom comforted me, "He's just like that, sharp-tongued. It'll get better once you spend more time with him." I continued to nod. Anyway, I came to this house for Mom. I didn't care about anyone else's attitude towards me. Mom quickly set up a study for me. I ravenously bought all the books I previously liked, wanted to read but couldn't afford, and brought them all back. Soon, the orphanage and government workers came for a follow-up visit. Seeing that Mom and I got along very well, they officially processed the adoption paperwork for us. After the paperwork was done, Mom arranged for my school enrollment, placing me in the same school as Liam. Liam was reluctant, "Why does she have to go to the same school as me? I'm used to going to school alone. Don't expect me to babysit a burden." Mom: "..." But seeing that I didn't mind at all, she felt a bit more reassured. However, she still insisted that Liam and I take the same car to and from school. 6 I was a bit nervous, afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up with the pace of the new school. After all, this school was much better than my previous one. Seeing me staring intently at my math book as soon as I got in the car, Liam scoffed out of habit, "Why are you working so hard? You're already a child of our family. Are you afraid of doing badly in school and not knowing what to do in the future?" I glanced at him but didn't speak. Even though I knew that in my past life Liam and I ended up together, I still found him a bit annoying right now. His mouth was really irritating. Liam suddenly thought of something and snatched the math book from my hands. "Hey, what are you doing?" I reached out, "Give the book back." A wicked curve formed on Liam's lips, "I know, you're worried about doing badly and getting kicked out, right?" He raised an eyebrow cockily, "How about this, you beg me, and I'll tutor you, help you stay. How's that?" I was skeptical, "Would you really be that nice?" Seeing me staring at him, the wicked smile on Liam's face paused. He gave an awkward cough and tossed the math book back into my lap. "Of course I'm lying. You actually believed that? So stupid." "..." I knew it. The car stopped at the school gates. Before getting out, Liam warned me, "Hey, at school, you're not allowed to say you know me, you're not allowed to talk to me, and you're definitely not allowed to say you're my sister, got it? If everyone finds out... whatever, just remember what I said." "Don't worry." Liam got out first, telling me to wait a while before getting out. How could I have liked someone like this in my past life? I waited ten minutes before getting out. Because Mom was also very busy, the driver took me to the principal's office first. Knowing I was the adopted daughter of the Hayes family, the principal was very polite and called my homeroom teacher to take me to my classroom. I stood at the front and introduced myself. Mom originally wanted to change my last name, but Liam adamantly refused. He even gave Mom a high-sounding reason, saying I was already quite grown and keeping my original last name was a sign of respect. Mom asked for my opinion, and since I didn't mind, she agreed. So, I was still Chloe Smith. Suddenly, a student said, "Your last name is Smith too? How come both new students today are named Smith? You look a lot like Mia Smith." 7 I followed everyone's gaze and met my sister's eyes. She wasn't surprised at all. She's finally here. In my past life, I led the bullying against her at school, and when Liam found out, he stopped talking to me. It wasn't until after I died that I realized Liam fell in love with her at first sight at school. That's why he didn't like me. In this life, it's her turn to bully me. Liam will definitely hate her to death. "..." Is she crazy? Why on earth would I bully her? The teacher also asked about my relationship with Mia. I told the truth, "Mia and I are sisters, we're fraternal twins." My sister spoke up, "Don't say that. You were adopted by a billionaire family, I wouldn't dare claim a connection with you now. I... I'm just a nanny's adopted daughter now. You don't need to pretend we have a deep sisterly bond and that you don't look down on me." The students sensed the subtle tension. They looked at my sister, then at me, all wearing expressions of people ready to enjoy some drama. I smiled, neither humble nor arrogant, "Mia, what do you mean by 'just a nanny's adopted daughter'? Do you think being a nanny is lowly?" My sister choked, "I never said that, don't twist my words." Little bitch, choking me the moment she arrives. She's always been sharp-tongued, I can't let my guard down. The teacher assigned me a seat and began the lesson. The pace was similar to our previous school, but having missed a few days, I was a bit behind. I decided to find time to ask the teacher to help me catch up. My sister's inner voice rang out again. I'm familiar with all these concepts. In this life, I'm definitely going to be the top student. In my past life, because my sister was good at studying, after Liam fell in love with her at first sight, he discovered how capable she was and loved her even more. In this life, I'm the top student. Liam will definitely fall madly in love with me! Her thoughts grew increasingly excited, like she was having a sweet dream. Can she really become a top student with her mind entirely focused on men? The bell rang for class to start. The first period was math. I started feeling nervous again. Having missed those classes, I surely wouldn't be able to keep up. Even though I self-studied before coming to school, I still lacked confidence. By the end of the class, I found I had actually kept up. No wonder my sister's inner voice called me a top student in my past life. My grades had always been very good, but as a newcomer to this school, I lacked a bit of confidence. Through this one class, I figured it out. Studying? Easy peasy! However, during the break when everyone was chatting, I couldn't get a word in edgewise. Only then did I realize that in their world, academic grades weren't the most important thing. They knew so much and had been to so many places to see the world. And me? I only knew how to study. To myself, I was a top student; to them, I was just a bookworm. The confidence I had just built up plummeted again.
