My Reborn Story Is Insane (Back to My Worst Birthday and Starting Anew)

Chapter 5 Severe Ties

Leah froze. Her expression grew even more uncomfortable as tears streamed down her face.

“It’s all my fault,” she sobbed. “I’ll leave. I’ll stay away from all of you. As long as everyone focuses on you, that’s all that matters.”

“Leah, ignore her. She’s nothing but an ungrateful snake!” Milo snapped, feeling Leah’s pain. He turned to Charmaine and yelled, “Leah was the one worried about you and convinced us to come check on you. If we had arrived any later, you would not have had the opportunity to clear your name. You’re just biting the hand that feeds you!”

Alec’s brow furrowed as well. “Leah has already apologized. You need to know when to stop.”

Olympia’s face was just as displeased. She declared, “It was the hospital nurse’s mistake all those years ago. Why are you blaming Leah? She was as unaware as you were. Now that we’ve brought you back, what more do you want?”

Observing their defense of Leah and hearing their malicious yet self-righteous words, Charmaine’s lashes fluttered as she lowered her gaze.

“You’re all just like before. That is good,” she muttered.

When she looked up again, a resolute determination gleamed in her eyes.

“Go ahead, keep favoring your precious darling, always trusting her every word and treating her as the pride of the family. You won’t have to worry about me causing you any trouble or bringing any disgrace to the family. And you certainly don’t have to fear that I’ll take any attention away from Leah.”

Olympia frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

Charmaine pulled up the recording app on her phone. Her voice was clear and precise as she spoke, “From this day forward, I, Charmaine Nelson, sever all ties with the Nelsons. Nor will I take anything from the Nelsons or ask for help. I’ve stayed at your house for less than four months, and I will pay back every penny for the expenses incurred. I won’t take anything that belongs to the Nelsons. From now on, the matter of who the Nelsons’ daughter is has nothing to do with me. Whatever you choose to cherish has nothing to do with me. I will have no further connection with the Nelsons.”
