After finishing her breakfast, Madelyn headed straight university. As soon as she stepped through the university gates, she sensed an odd atmosphere.

Every now and then, people would gather together, quietly discussing something.

Madelyn wondered what they were talking about. She then decided to move a little closer, leaning in to listen.

“Have you heard? There’s this girl in her senior year in the Department of Finance, her name is Jillian Lynch. On the surface, she seems like a pure and studious girl, but in reality, her personal life is a mess. Rumor has it she’s a sugar baby for someone off–campus!”

“Is that really true?”

“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, check out the university forum. There are even posts with pictures of Jillian stepping out of a luxury car. This is solid proof that can’t be faked!”

“Tsk. Isk…”

After the girls finished their gossip session, they contemptuously shook their heads, deeply belittling Jillian from the bottom of their hearts.

Madelyn stood frozen in place, shock coursing through her. How could things have happened so quickly?

Upon reflection, Madelyn suddenly remembered that their scores had been released just a couple of days ago, and Jillian had outperformed Janessa with her outstanding results.

With this in mind, it was clear where the trouble originated. It was nothing more than Janessa secretly causing mischief behind the scenes due to her jealousy of Jillian.

In Madelyn’s previous life, this event should have occurred a few days later!

Madelyn had still been thinking that she had to warn Jillian ahead of time when she saw her today.

What’s the reason that led to the premature occurrence of this event? Could it be because I made contact with Jillian ahead of time?

Upon this thought, Madelyn’s expression inevitably tumed somber.

It seemed that even after her reincarnation, certain things wouldn’t follow the same path as in her previous life or operate in exactly the same manner.

Feeling regretful, Madelyn silently berated herself for letting her guard down.

Nonetheless, it didn’t matter. This time, she wouldn’t let Janessa have her way again.
