Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 210 The Price of Silence

Zelena’s heart skipped a beat, and she struggled to maintain a calm facade as she responded, “What do you know? Hah, what’s your game here? Don’t try to deceive me. You think you can pull one over on me?”

Kaylee didn’t back down. “I’m not bluffing. I know about you bullying a classmate at Eighth Middle School in Arlowand, causing her to lose her hearing. That doesn’t match the innocent act you put on at school. Zelena’s eyes widened. Her past misdeeds were her biggest secret.

Ever since she returned to the Blake family, she had been pretending to be a perfect, kind-hearted girl, never mentioning her past. She thought changing cities meant no one would ever know what she did in middle school. But now…

“I know a lot more! Your reputation is about to be trashed!”

Zelena panicked. She couldn’t let anything tarnish her spotless reputation.

Upon hearing Kaylee’s words, a wave of panic swept over her.

But then she quickly composed herself, smirking. “If you wanted to expose me, you would have done it already. Why wait until now?”

Kaylee was momentarily speechless.

Zelena felt relief and satisfaction, knowing she had struck a nerve.

She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of smugness, reassured that it wasn’t Violeta who had uncovered her secret. Unlike Violeta, who would have likely exposed her without hesitation, Kaylee seemed to have her own motives and agenda.

Realising there was room for negotiation, Zelena saw a glimmer of hope.

“Come on, what do you really want? And how did you find out about this?”
