During Freshman Orientation Week, my family’s housekeeper’s son publicly confessed his love for me. After I rejected him, he turned the whole class against me, isolating and bullying me. He even had his admirers put snakes in my bed to bite me. Driven to the brink of a mental breakdown, he pretended to help me, only to get me drunk and hand me over to the notorious class monitor and some street thugs. “I wanted you to marry me, then I’d spare your life. Now it’s perfect. Your mom only has me as her child, and all your family’s wealth will be mine.” I was tortured to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of his confession. “Cassie, be my girlfriend. I’ll treat you like a princess!” Lucas Harrison knelt on one knee, holding a bouquet in one hand and a soda can tab in the other. “I’ll be good to you forever, trust me, okay?” “Get together! Get together!” “Oh my god, the teaching assistant is so handsome! And he’s rich too. Cassie is so lucky!” The voices bombarded my ears. Seeing the smugness in Lucas’s eyes, I finally realized – I had been reborn. Lucas had saved my mom’s life once, so she became his godmother. He and his mother pretended to be rich, but they were always spending my family’s money. I had tolerated all of this, but he went too far when he publicly confessed his love to me just to get his hands on my family’s fortune. After I rejected him, he harbored a grudge. He secretly had people bully me, then pretended to be a caring brother and invited the whole class to an entertainment venue, claiming he wanted to clear up any misunderstandings. But halfway through, he deliberately got me drunk and drugged my drink. As I was dizzy and disoriented, he dragged me into a room. Inside wasn’t just anyone, but Mark Lewis, the class monitor who had always been harsh on me. Mark was utterly despicable and tried to force himself on me. I bit my tongue to stay conscious and managed to escape. But outside the door, a group of thugs was waiting. I was violated to death. Mark, fearing for his reputation, worked with Lucas to tie my body to a rock and throw it in the river. They even used my phone to scam my mom out of millions. My poor mother lost her daughter in middle age. She searched for me day and night without sleep, aging a decade in just a few days. I clenched my fists tightly. “Slap!” Just as Lucas grabbed my hand to put the soda can tab on my finger, I gave him a hard slap. Under his surprised gaze, I sneered, “Tch, aren’t you supposed to be the young master of Sullivan Corp? Proposing with a soda can tab?” “What kind of rich heir is so cheap?” Lucas’s expression changed, and immediately someone came to his defense. “Lucas just thought you weren’t a materialistic girl. Who knew you were so money-hungry!” “It’s rare to find such a pure-hearted rich guy like Lucas these days.” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but laugh. “Rich guy? I’ve never heard of any Mr. Harrison in the Sullivan family. But I do know the Sullivan family’s housekeeper has a son named Harrison.” “Cassie Sullivan!” Lucas glared at me angrily. “That’s enough!” I leaned in close to him, my voice cold. “Now, apologize to me and get lost, or I’ll have your teaching assistant position revoked immediately.”
“Cassie Sullivan, what are you playing at? How dare you tell Lucas to get lost? Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think you’re worthy of him?” I scanned them with a mocking smile. “I have excellent grades and I’m beautiful. He has beady eyes and a flat nose – looking at him would give me nightmares. Me, worthy of him? I’d be lowering my standards!” Lucas was so angered by my words that he couldn’t control his facial expressions. He shot me a vicious look, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Perhaps he couldn’t understand why I had changed so much today? He gritted his teeth. “I was too forward today. I thought Cassie had feelings for me. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.” “I’m sorry.” With that, he turned and left, pretending to be dejected. Many people started cursing at me behind my back. But this time around, I wouldn’t be as weak as in my past life. Just then, a whistle sounded from behind. Mark Lewis, the one who had a hand in my death in my previous life, walked out. I saw him exchange a glance with Lucas in the distance before he angrily reprimanded me. “Cassie Sullivan! You’re violating discipline again!” Mark stared at me with hostility. “Always up to no good. Do you think Orientation Week is a place where you can do whatever you want? Run twenty laps around the field!” “On what grounds?” I said coldly. Mark’s face darkened. “You dare to argue! If it weren’t for you, why would all the students be gathered here wasting training time?” “And on the first day of orientation, you’ve altered your uniform to make it so small. What are you trying to show off? Everyone can see clearly. You’ve just entered college and you’re already learning bad habits, trying to seduce others. You have no self-respect!” Hearing this, everyone looked at me. Their gazes were scrutinizing, and some even lewdly scanned my entire body. “Monitor, you seem to have a selective memory. When we were given our uniforms, I asked for a size larger, but you insisted on giving me the smaller one. Now you’re using body shaming to attack me?” I laughed coldly. “Fine, I recorded it. The uniforms were distributed in the classroom, which has surveillance cameras. Why don’t we go ask the principal how they admitted such a perverted student with a dirty mind?” “You dare!” Mark grabbed me, his eyes full of warning. I skillfully dodged and punched him in the face. “Everyone, come look! The monitor is harassing a female student!” At this point, Lucas couldn’t sit still anymore. He quickly ran over. “Cassie, stop making a scene! Mark—” “Everyone, come look! The teaching assistant is harassing a female student! Could the female students please call the police for me!” Hearing about calling the police, the two men saw that the situation was getting out of hand and even tried to cover my mouth. Just then, the drill instructor walked over. “It’s break time. What’s going on here?” After a cacophony of explanations, the situation was finally clarified. The drill instructor gave Mark a cold glare, then looked meaningfully at Lucas. “During orientation, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to interfere.” Lucas’s face darkened. The head instructor ordered Mark to apologize to me before quickly taking them away. I also called the principal after class, and by the afternoon, Mark had been stripped of his monitor position. When he looked at me now, his eyes were full of venom. What’s there to be afraid of? I smirked. This was just the first step!
In the evening, to save face, Lucas invited the whole class to eat at the cafeteria. “Lucas, I heard Sullivan Corp donated a building to the school because you came to work here. That’s so generous.” “Our school is one of the top universities in the city. Lucas gave up working at the company to come here… he must be here to gain experience, right?” The classmates chattered away. Lucas neither confirmed nor denied, letting them talk. He enjoyed being the center of attention, as if he had the whole world in the palm of his hand. Just then, a girl said in a sarcastic tone, “Cassie Sullivan really has no luck. She offended Lucas and now she’ll never have the fortune to eat in the VIP dining hall.” As soon as she finished speaking, I sauntered past her, carrying two plates of food. The VIP dining hall was donated by my mom. I’ve been a picky eater since childhood. Worried that I wouldn’t adapt to the food, my mom specially donated a dining hall building, and the third floor was practically my private restaurant. Seeing this, everyone’s faces fell. The girl muttered, “She couldn’t have sold herself, could she?” As soon as the words left her mouth, a resounding slap landed on her face. Under her shocked gaze, my bodyguard stepped back and respectfully said to me, “Miss Sullivan, I’ve dealt with the foul-mouthed individual for you. Please enjoy your lunch.” I raised an eyebrow slightly. My mom taught me to be low-key, but some people are really despicable. If you’re low-key, they’ll think you’re easy to bully. So, after my confrontation with them this morning, I hired two bodyguards to protect me. My life comes first. Under the girl’s murderous gaze and Lucas’s gloomy eyes, I raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Lucas, can you afford this?” Sure enough, Lucas was provoked by me. In his anger, he took everyone to the most expensive area. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the bill came to nearly ten thousand dollars. He trembled slightly in pain but pretended to be generous as he handed over his card. The cafeteria lady took it and swiped it on the machine. “Insufficient balance. Please top up.” Suddenly, the air went quiet. Lucas frowned slightly. He snatched the card back in disbelief and swiped it on the machine a couple more times. Still insufficient balance. He tried other methods, all showing no money. He cursed in frustration, then under the gaze of his classmates and the cafeteria lady, Lucas took out his phone and messaged me. “Cassie, come over quickly and let me use your meal card. Godmother said we should help each other in the new school.” I immediately blocked him. Having seen enough of the show, I turned to leave. Not wanting Lucas to be embarrassed, one of his admirers grabbed me. “Cassie Sullivan, here’s a chance for you to redeem yourself. Hurry up and pay for Lucas!” Seeing me, Lucas’s eyes lit up. He took a few steps towards me and pulled me over. “Use your meal card to pay. I’ll forget about what happened this morning and treat you even better in the future.” I rolled my eyes and kicked Lucas in the leg. He grimaced in pain, and I continued to twist the knife. “Used to being a beggar, aren’t you?” I showed everyone the message he sent me. “Using my family’s money to gain fame, then slandering me, and now ordering me around? The housekeeper’s son has really opened my eyes.” “Trying to mooch off me, huh?”
Everyone looked at Lucas with meaningful gazes. Some of the sharper ones seemed to have caught on to what was happening. “Cassie Sullivan!” Lucas’s face was ugly. In this life, he probably hated being called the housekeeper’s son more than anything. He clenched his fists tightly, wanting to hit me, but when he saw my bodyguards behind me, he immediately backed down. He gritted his teeth. “Cassie, we grew up together. Even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t slander me like this.” “Which part of what I said was wrong?” I hadn’t said a single wrong word, but his admirer Wendy jumped out. “You’re not slandering him? If Lucas isn’t Mr. Sullivan’s son, why would Mr. Sullivan donate a building to the school?” “I heard this with my own ears.” “And how many expensive gifts has Lucas bought for you?” I laughed in disbelief. “You mean the 99-cent roses from the dollar store? The ones that lost their color? Or the random soda can tab he picked up from the street?” “You want this kind of treatment? Be my guest.” Wendy threw herself into Lucas’s arms, whining. “Lucas, look at what this gold digger is saying. She’s not even willing to spend ten thousand dollars on you. All the designer clothes and accessories she’s wearing were bought with your money. She doesn’t deserve your affection!” “I say, you should make her return everything and teach her a lesson!” I felt like I had just heard the joke of the century. I turned to look at Lucas. “You bought them? Can you even afford them?” Lucas coughed lightly, his eyes darting around. “You… you hurry up and pay. I’ll have my mom transfer the money to you later.” “Then why don’t you ask your mom to transfer it to you now?” I looked at him mockingly. Under everyone’s gaze, he sent a message to my mom, only to receive a red exclamation mark. Hmm, Special Assistant Wang did a good job. Before coming to the cafeteria, I had already asked Special Assistant Wang to freeze the cards of Lucas and his mother. Not only that, to prevent him from deceiving my mom, I directly had Special Assistant Wang block them all. Under everyone’s gaze, Lucas was extremely embarrassed. “I contacted the wrong person.” “Tsk, can’t even find the right mom.” I smiled and said, “You’re not planning to dine and dash, are you?”
