Chapter 100

My dad glared at me and tried to slap me, but I dodged.

He pointed at me, snapping, "I know you never liked Ashley, but how could you just stand by and do nothing..."

My mom also blamed me, "Grace, why didn't you answer Ashley's call? If you had, none of this would have happened."

My brother's eyes were bloodshot. "Grace, are you too smug about getting into Nydoalind University? Can you really just go study after this? Maybe you should stay and redo senior year with her!"

Mom and Dad looked at my brother, relieved.

I was the one who was supposed to be the pride of the family, the one who got into Nydoalind University, but to them, I was nothing compared to Ashley, who only scored 400 points. I couldn't stand their fake smiles, so I pulled out the agreement I'd prepared.

"I wanted to give it to you at dinner, but I guess you won't miss me after this. Let's sign the agreement, and we'll be done with each other."

Ashley had once said that in my previous life, "If you die, all of your folks' money will be mine, and your brother won't fight me for it." Her eyes sparkled when I took out the agreement.

My parents were surprised by my determination and wavered. But it wasn't about me. They were just reluctant to give up on the daughter who'd made it into Nydoalind University.
