I spent three years as a doormat for the ice-cold campus queen. She shamelessly spent my money while pretending to be a high-class beauty. Until that night, when a rich kid pinned her down in the backseat of his luxury car. Hearing her cries for help, I rushed to play the hero and even accompanied her to the police station to file a report. Little did I know, the next day, she would turn around and accuse me of raping her. The rich kid destroyed the evidence and found people to give false testimony. My reputation was ruined, and I ended up in jail. My parents searched everywhere for evidence to prove my innocence. But on their way to the police station, they were killed in a head-on collision with a truck. I didn’t even get to see my parents one last time. When the campus queen came to visit me in prison, she smiled smugly at me: “You worthless dog, I was having a great time with Brandon. You had to come and ruin everything. Now look what happened, even your parents got what they deserved!” When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the night the campus queen was dragged into the car by the rich kid. Hearing the lustful sounds coming from the car, I turned and walked away.
“Help… please, someone help me…” Faint cries for help echoed through the parking lot late at night. I heard the commotion and followed the sound. In the distance, I saw a luxury car parked in the corner, its body shaking slightly. In my previous life, it was in this very car that I witnessed Lily Snow, the campus queen I had a crush on for three years, being pinned down in the backseat by Brandon Chase. Back then, I had rushed over and yanked open the car door, punching Brandon in the face and kicking him hard in the groin. While Brandon was writhing in pain on the ground, I helped the disheveled Lily to the police station to file a report. Little did I know that the next day, Brandon would show up in class with his arm around Lily, accompanied by the police. Lily tearfully accused me of attempting to rape her in front of the entire class. Everyone chose to believe Lily. After all, who in our class didn’t know that I, Connor Quinn, was Lily’s doormat, chasing after her for three whole years? Lily sobbed as she made her accusation. “He’s been harassing me for so long. I saw through him a long time ago, which is why I rejected him.” “I never thought he’d be so despicable. Knowing I would never accept him, he… he… in the parking lot…” “Thankfully, Brandon arrived in time to save me.” Lily buried herself in Brandon’s arms, sobbing. Brandon patted her back gently, but his eyes shot a cold glare at me. The crowd buzzed with chatter as the police handcuffed me, not even giving me a chance to explain. Through the back window of the police car, I saw Lily and Brandon exchange smiles, their eyes full of triumph. My parents, however, never stopped believing in my innocence. They ran around trying to get justice for me. They were turned away when they tried to meet with school officials, and when they tried to access the security footage, they found it had been deliberately deleted. In just a few days, my parents, both in their fifties, had aged visibly from the stress. On their final attempt, as they were driving to the police station, a large truck suddenly lost control and crashed into them head-on. A month later, Lily and Brandon came to visit me in prison. Brandon sat in the chair, his eyes filled with hatred. “You deserved this! If it weren’t for that kick of yours, I wouldn’t be impotent now.” It was then that I finally understood why they had gone to such lengths to destroy me. Back in the present, I watched the rocking luxury car in the distance and took out my phone, hitting record and aiming it at the car’s interior. The car windows were wide open, clearly showing Brandon on top of Lily. In my previous life, I had rushed in hot-headedly to play the hero. This time, I’ve learned my lesson. I won’t make the same mistake again. As I was leaving the parking lot, I heard someone approaching. Soon, there was a commotion behind me. I guess that person had stumbled upon their little tryst, and now others were running towards the parking lot. I quickened my pace, swiftly leaving the scene of trouble. Back in my dorm room, I saw my parents’ video call on the screen, and my eyes instantly welled up. The last memory I had of them was how haggard they looked. Seeing them now, still healthy and well, filled me with overwhelming emotion. My dad used to be a businessman, always dressed in a suit and tie, looking sharp and energetic. But in my previous life, when he visited me in prison, his face was unshaven and his eyes were heavy with dark circles. My mom had always taken good care of her appearance, but back then, her brow was furrowed with worry and her hair had turned gray. In just the few days I had been in jail, they both seemed to have aged a decade. My mom noticed something was off and asked with concern: “Connor, are you just getting back to your room? Is the coursework very stressful lately?” “Stop revolving your life around that Lily girl. You only have two months left, focus on getting into grad school,” my father paused, then added, “After that, you can start getting involved in some of the company’s business.” Fighting back tears, I promised, “Yes, Mom and Dad, don’t worry. I won’t let you down.” “By the way, Dad, I think I could start helping out with some business matters now.” “You cheeky boy!” My father laughed as he hung up the phone. I smiled as I ended the call, but my expression immediately turned cold. In this life, I was determined to make those two animals pay for what they’d done. I opened my phone and carefully reviewed the video I had just recorded, smirking as I said: “You like to play games, huh? Well, let’s play then!”
The next morning, as soon as I walked into the classroom, Lily came strutting over in her high heels. She looked down at me haughtily, wearing her usual arrogant expression. “Connor, I’m not feeling well and need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Can you lend me a few thousand dollars?” The eyes of our classmates were drawn to us, but no one seemed surprised. Who in school didn’t know about my infatuation with the campus queen? Lily came from an ordinary family. Her father was a construction worker, and her mother worked as a sales clerk in a department store. She had even been receiving financial aid for low-income students. Ever since I publicly declared my intention to pursue Lily, this woman had been treating me like an ATM. Designer bags, cosmetics, luxury items – she never asked for them directly, always under the guise of “borrowing.” In our freshman year, she would at least write IOUs. But after “borrowing” five thousand dollars from me at once to buy luxury goods, she became completely shameless. In just three short years, she had swindled nearly thirty thousand dollars from me, with only about seven thousand covered by IOUs. Looking at her smug face now, I felt nothing but disgust. In my previous life, I must have been blind to fawn over a woman like this. I had kept those IOUs, foolishly thinking I was preserving her handwriting. “No,” I said coldly. “And it’s time you paid back what you’ve already borrowed.” Lily froze, her fake eyelashes fluttering dramatically. “What did you say?” A wave of gasps echoed through the classroom. Someone whispered, “Did Connor take the wrong meds? Is he done being a doormat?” I pulled out a stack of IOUs from my drawer and leisurely flipped through them. “Just pay back the principal. I’ll waive all the interest you added.” Lily loved to add phrases like “2% monthly interest” to the IOUs, as if it made her look more responsible. Her face clouded over, and she suddenly let out a cold laugh. “Hah, Connor, who do you think you are? It’s your privilege that I even borrowed money from you. Don’t take yourself so seriously!” “There are plenty of rich guys who’d love to give me money. You think I need anything from a nouveau riche like you?” Lily stepped closer in her high heels, pointing a red-nailed finger at my chest. I stared back at this bitter and sarcastic campus queen with a blank expression. I couldn’t believe how blind I had been before. “So many people are giving you money? That’s great. So, when are you planning to pay back the first IOU for $3,200?” I waved the piece of paper in my hand. “There’s still over ten thousand more waiting for you to deal with.” Seeing that I kept mocking her, Lily became furious. “It’s just some dirty money. What are you so smug about? You think I’d ever agree to be with you just because you give me money?” “In my eyes, you’re nothing but a doormat, a dog who’s been licking my boots for three years!” Lily glared at me, her eyes venomous. “Someone like you? I wouldn’t even look at the campus security guard over you! Even if you got down on your knees and begged, I wouldn’t give you a second glance!” With that vicious remark, she stormed out of the room. The other students in the classroom looked at each other in disbelief. Some whispered, “The campus queen went too far with those words.” “Bro, what’s going on? Did you finally wake up? Didn’t you just say yesterday that you’d chase after the queen for life?” My roommate Henry looked shocked. I calmly replied, “I just suddenly saw things clearly. Now I just want to settle the accounts. Nothing else matters.” “Good for you, man! You’ve finally come to your senses!” Henry gave me a thumbs up. “But you’d better be careful. That girl is bad news.” I knew Lily wouldn’t let this go. Sure enough, before noon, she had already hooked up with Brandon, ready to cause trouble for me.
I had just finished class when Brandon, accompanied by his gang of lackeys, cornered me at the door. This young Mr. Chase was notorious for his arrogance, relying on his family’s wealth and his father’s position on the university board. “I heard you dared to ask Lily for money?” Brandon leaned against the doorframe, looking haughty. “Don’t you know she’s my girlfriend?” His cronies behind him glared at me menacingly. I leaned against a desk, sizing him up with amusement. In my previous life, I might have been intimidated by his background. But after being reborn, I really wasn’t afraid of his tactics anymore. Besides, with my family’s financial power, I had the means to fight back. In my previous life, it was only because of the urgent situation that I was pushed step by step into that fiery pit. “Lily said she wouldn’t even look at the campus security guard over me. I guess she was talking about you?” I retorted. Brandon slammed his fist on my desk with a loud “bang.” I smirked, “Is that all you’ve got?” Brandon’s face turned ashen. He then gritted his teeth and said: “I know your family has some connections, but they’re nothing compared to the Chase family! I’ll give you one chance today. Apologize to Lily, and we’ll let this slide.” I almost laughed out loud. “What’s the matter? Your woman borrows money from me every day to spend. Don’t you feel embarrassed?” Brandon’s expression froze. Before he could speak, Lily quickly intervened with a coy voice. “Don’t listen to his nonsense! I just didn’t want to spend Brandon’s money.” A crowd of curious classmates had gathered at the classroom door, with people in the hallway craning their necks to see inside. A few girls discreetly took out their phones and started recording videos. Henry, sitting in the back row, sneered. “Tsk tsk, so the campus queen is picky about whose money she spends? She freely spends Connor’s money but won’t dare touch Brandon’s? What kind of high-class act is this?” “Pretending to be a rich princess with a doormat’s money. That’s a new low.” Lily pretended not to hear and instead clung to Brandon’s arm, speaking in a sickeningly sweet voice. “Brandon, don’t mind him. He’s just trying to get my attention. In a few days, he’ll be back to giving me money obediently.” She tried to leave, but Brandon held her back. Brandon looked at me with a cold smile. “Connor, don’t go too far. You’re making a fuss over a bit of money? You know how difficult Lily’s family situation is.” “Are you trying to push her into a corner?” Looking at his hypocritical face, I couldn’t help but mock him. “Mr. Chase makes it sound so easy. Why don’t you support her then? Or can’t you even afford to take care of your own girlfriend?” Brandon was nearly speechless. “Lily said she didn’t want to spend my money!” I smiled faintly. “I see. Well, let me tell you both: I can lend money to anyone, but a woman like Lily? Don’t even think about it.” Lily’s face turned bright red, but she stubbornly retorted: “As if I’d want your dirty money! Come on, Brandon, let’s go!” I pulled out a stack of IOUs from my bag. “Is that so? If you don’t want it, how do you plan to deal with these IOUs? Don’t think I won’t sue you.” “Connor, how dare you treat me like this!” Lily gritted her teeth. “Fine, just you wait. I’ll make you pay for this!” Watching this pair of scumbags slink away, I smiled silently. Did they really think I hadn’t learned anything from my previous life? I was looking forward to seeing what kind of waves they could make. Henry came over and said, “Bro, are you really serious about this? Aren’t you afraid Brandon will come after you?” I looked at the IOUs in my hand and smiled coldly. “I don’t care. I’m waiting for them to dig their own graves.”
By evening, the whole school was in an uproar. Word spread that Lily Snow, the campus queen, had been sexually assaulted in the school parking lot the night before. Lily had skipped classes that afternoon, and a group of gossip-loving girls surrounded her roommate to dig for information. Apparently, her roommate had accidentally seen Lily making an appointment for a gynecological exam and buying emergency contraception. “Connor, I heard you were supposed to walk Lily back to her dorm last night?” A few guys rushed over to inquire. I looked up from my review materials. In my previous life, it was at this moment that I was caught off guard by Brandon’s lackeys due to a momentary loss for words. Those bootlickers had taken turns accusing me, and even a few friends who were usually on good terms with me had played dumb. This time, I was going to take the initiative. “Walk her home? I wasn’t even there last night.” I feigned confusion. “Did something happen to her?” One of the lackeys frowned and said, “Come on, everyone knows you follow her around every day, saying you’re worried about her safety at night.” “That was before,” I explained. “Last night I went back to my dorm early. I even studied late into the night. If you don’t believe me, check the surveillance cameras downstairs.” “We heard Lily was raped. You don’t know about it? Then why did you suddenly give her the cold shoulder yesterday?” someone asked in a low voice. I continued looking at my book, maintaining my composure. “That’s because my parents told me to focus on my studies. That’s why I decided to stop being her doormat. I really don’t know anything about this.” Seeing that I genuinely seemed unaware, the crowd dispersed. I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I had avoided a group of people who would have jumped to conclusions based on a mere rumor. Taking advantage of the break before evening classes, I went to an electronics store and bought several high-definition cameras. After the faculty had left, I installed the equipment in the administrators’ offices, just in case. This was the first step in my plan for revenge. Over the next few days, Lily didn’t come to class. Various versions of rumors were flying around. It was said that the student who first spread the news had already been warned by Brandon not to talk. I focused on my studies, waiting for this pair of scumbags to walk into my trap. Soon enough, Lily returned. The teacher was in the middle of a lecture when the classroom door suddenly burst open. Brandon walked in with his arm around Lily, followed by a group of his lackeys. Four police officers also entered the room. Lily reluctantly left Brandon’s embrace and sashayed towards the podium. When she looked at me, a flash of hatred crossed her eyes. Wiping her tears, her voice trembling, she began to speak. “It was him. That night, I was passing through the parking lot when Connor followed me… He covered my eyes and dragged me into a car…” The class immediately erupted in an uproar. Her voice grew softer, as if she couldn’t continue, her face turning pale. “He was so strong… I couldn’t break free. I begged him to let me go, but he said… he said this is what a slut like me deserved…” As she spoke, she seemed to collapse to the ground. Brandon immediately rushed forward to catch her, looking concerned. Lily buried her face in his chest, sobbing, “Brandon, I’m so scared. I’m really so scared.” She deliberately acted as if she was about to faint, instantly stirring up anger among the crowd. The classroom immediately filled with curses and condemnation. In my previous life, I had lost my composure in this situation. But this time, I was going to show them who the real prey was.
