Chapter 4
Soon, the government took over the orphanage, improving the living facilities and assigning a team of comprehensive professionals.
The former director was imprisoned five years early, sparing me and the other children five years of hardship.[]
These were the same people who had both bullied and protected me in our past life.]]
And now, having felt the benefits I had brought about, they all began to center themselves around me, trying to curry favor and win me over.[]
As for the former director’s five illegitimate sons, they began to be bullied and picked on. I watched with satisfaction. After all, I always repay my debts.[]
The next month, Ethan came to find me in a great hurry, saying Vivian had been sick and he was too busy taking care of her to have time to see me.]
He apologized with his head lowered.]]
He was always like this, choosing Vivian over me, only to offer me a sliver of warmth later, just like dangling a carrot on a string in front of a donkey.
“Serena, I found a school for you, and also a family that is willing to adopt you.“[]
“No, thank you.” I replied, polite and distant.[]
Because the government had already arranged a school for us orphans.[]
But as luck would have it, I was placed in the same class as Vivian White.[]
In less than three days, the entire class, and indeed the entire grade, kitew about how I had “seduced the 40–year–old orphanage director.” Boys would pull at my tank top straps, while girls regarded me with contempt and isolated me.[]
Soon, they started calling me the nasty nickname “Town Bike“, freely insulting and cursing me.]
All of this was Vivian’s doing.
1 calculated the time, the biological parents I had painstakingly contacted should be returning to the country to get me soon.)}
With that assurance, during another class break, Vivian threw her pencil case at the back of my head.]
She yelled, “Town Bike, your clothes are new today. Which man did you get them from this time?“{}
“Hahaha!”
“Hahaha, exactly.“}
“bo trashy, that Town Bike
I stod straight up and stroge over to Vivian!!
Chapter 4
Under her defiant, gloating gaze, I grabbed her hair and forced her head down toward the mop sink.
“Ah! Aaaah! Let me go! Let me go!“]
I gave a grim smile. “Your mouth is so filthy, always giving me nicknames. Vivian White, you and I both came from the orphanage. The Martinez wanted to adopt me at first, it was I who gave the spot to you! The director initially targeted you, it was I who protected you. And now you repay my kindness with slander and bullying, you ungrateful wretch!“]
“No, ah! It’s not…“]
The moment Vivian opened her mouth, the dirty water from the mop sink poured in.[]
I began to speak rapidly, revealing everything–how Vivian stirred up trouble behind the scenes, bad–mouthed her friends, and spread rumors that forced the previous class teacher to resign.[]
As they listened, no one tried to stop me from teaching Vivian a lesson anymore.]]
Someone even muttered “good“. More students began discussing the things Vivian had done, corroborating the details and proving that what I was saying was actually true.[]
“Serena Brown, I won’t let you hurt Vivian!“[]
Someone charged at me from behind. I lost my balance and fell to the floor.[]
My left arm hadn’t healed yet, and this time, the injury was made worse.]
My face went pale. I thought I had just heard the sound of the bone in my arm breaking again.
After helping Vivian up, Ethan saw my condition and looked dazed and regretful.]
Vivian sobbed, grabbing his hand. “Ethan, make her withdraw from school! Serena bullied me, make her withdraw!“]
“Alright, I promise you.”
I scoffed out loud. “Of course. Just as expected. Ethan Martinez, you’re as contemptible as ever.“[]
Ethan lowered his head. “Serena, you were in the wrong first. Besides, I will make it up to you later.“[]
“No need. Because i “[]
The class teacher suddenly burst into the room, too excited to notice the strange atmosphere, and announced loudly to me, “Serena Brown, your biological parents are here to pick you up! They said they’re taking you abroad for a family reunion!“]
