The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress

“A trip to Paris huh?” Lily muttered as she flipped on her bed. “How long has it been since I left this city?” She chuckled with a reminiscing expression.

{It hasn’t been that long, it’s not even up to a month since you’ve been Reborn}

“It’s a long time for someone like me who travels a lot for business trips, Anyway, I will need to register for an international passport and all the necessary tiring procedures, so annoying to go it all over again” she mumbled and picked up her laptop.

As she powered it up, she was taken directly to the school forum, where she noticed she had even more tags and mentions than the first time. She clicked the first inbox and raised her brows as she read the messages.

Kk Cute: I’m sorry I misjudged you and said some bad words! I should have waited to see how the situation turned out. You should ditch such a best friend! She is not deserving of your friendship at all! Good luck with your life!

Lily raised a brow in confusion and clicked the next inbox.

Mama Bear: Damn! What kind of best friend would do such a hideous thing? Ah, if I were in your shoes, I would do more than seduce her brother! She deserves to rot in hell! Ditch her! Ditch her real quick! I support you.

Shane’s Lover: This is the life of all of us poor peasants, always schemed against when our light overshadows theirs. I’m sorry for what happened to you, those people hating you do not even know half of it. It’s good you’ve broken off the friendship! She’ll get punished in some way.

I Hate The Rich Kids: Tell me her identity! Big sis will avenge you! Such a vicious girl at such a young age! Rich kids are really scheming, common, give big sis that bitch’s location, and I will teach her to be polite!

Lily at this point was confused beyond understanding. She went to her profile to check if she was logged in to the wrong one, but seeing how it was her account, she frowned and decided to check the homepage to see why everyone was sending her a goodwill message.

When she got to the homepage, she saw two trending topics, the first was #Backstabbingbestfriend and the second was #Seducingbestfriend’sbrother. Lily clicked on the second one and saw nothing had changed but it got more views and likes and all the comments had someone defending her in there, for example:

Racer: I hate all those peasants who pretend to be high and mighty just because they have a little more talent than others! She looks so innocent and pure but she seduces her best friend’s brother to get money (gag)

I Need Hugs: @Racer stop being so foolish you idiot, have you seen the other post? The so-called good best friend scheming against her friend! You call that friendship! The rich kids can go die with their fake friendship for all I care!

“The other post?” Lily muttered after reading several similar comments.

{I think they are talking about the second trending topic. Did someone post something to help you?}

“It couldn’t be, it’s probably another set of friends. This kind of topic is always popular after all” Lily swallowed her words as she read the post on the second trending topic.

#Backstabbing best friend #Seducing best friend’s brother. For all of you dishing out judgment without hearing the other side of the story, I can only call you blinded fools! It’s so obvious that the post was made to tarnish the other girl’s reputation, yet you all senselessly went there to put down your input without knowing a thing! Just so you know, I am also a student in the school and I know the two of them quite well.

Enough to tell you what was posted is nothing but a lie. But if you choose not to believe me, that’s your cup of tea, but here are the audio and videos of the ‘good best friend’ scheming and backstabbing the other friend! If you are too blind to see even with such evidence, that’s your fault.

However, stop blaming the innocent girl for a crime she never committed!

With pursed lips, Lily clicked on the attached files and began to listen. “Hmph! What does she think she is? Trying to be friends with me because she’s the best in class, how annoying!” Merissa’s voice came out of the video that was obviously taken in the restroom.

“I thought you liked her? Didn’t her family work for your family?” A girl asked with a sneer.

“Like her? Why would I like a low life like her? I’m only friends with her because of what she can offer. I make her do my assignments and all the cleaning in our dorm, just by showing her a bit of care. I like seeing her look so pathetic like her parents when they suck up to mine” The video ended with Merissa laughing with the other girl.

Lily’s face darkened with rage as she clicked the audio, a loud crashing noise was heard, followed by the voice of Merissa cursing up a storm.

“Fuck! It’s that bitch again! Why is it always that low-life peasant? Lily this! Lily that! Is she the only one!” Marissa cursed.

“Calm down, you can’t keep destroying things around here, the school will have you punished!” Zach’s voice followed.

“Fuck! Is the school property that important right now? That Wench was nominated to represent the school in the national! Nationals!” Merissa screamed.

“I’ve been dreaming about going to the nationals, but that poor country bumpkin took it away from me! Do you think I should be calm? I can’t be! That spot belongs to me! Me!” She yelled and threw another case to the wall.

“Honestly, I don’t think that’s the case, she’s the best student in your department in your year, it’s natural that the school would pick her over you!” Zach reasoned.

“Are you supporting her now?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Of course not, I’m just saying it as it is!”

“I won’t allow her to go to the finals, it can only be me and no one else!” That was the last thing before the audio ended.

Lily let out a dark laugh as she covered her face with her palm. “How interesting!” She laughed, “Who posted this?” She asked.

{I already checked and it’s Zach}

“Oh! Him? What is he playing at?” She asked with narrowed eyes.

{Does it matter what he is up to? What matters is that they all got what they deserve! I felt really angered listening to those things!}

“I thought you were a system, how come you have feelings?” Lily asked in amusement. She had long given up trying to find the system out and just accept whatever he offered, but she couldn’t pass on hearing its fluttered voice.

{Ah! Ah… of course I have no…sure feelings, anyway, what do you plan to do?}

“We are going according to the original plan and hopefully I can use this opportunity and the momentum to advertise my company when the online store is done”

She went back to her profile and began to make her post.

#Seducing best friend’s brother’s clarification.

Lily: Hello everyone, my name is Lily, a year two student in the Yellow Hill Fashion School designing class. I am here to make a clarification about the rumour going around about me.

One: I have never seduced @Lady Smith’s brother, he has been out of the country for the past five years and considering how ‘poor’ she painted me and my family, I do not have enough money to travel to seduce him.

There are better and richer guys in the city who could be seduced if I had the intention of doing such a thing.

Two: My father and mother indeed work with @Lady Smith’s family, but if she sees that as us begging, then we would leave without looking back. @Lady Smith, thank you for the ‘well wishes” you’ve had for me all these years, you’ve gotten the spot on the competition list and also my boyfriend, but how long will you be able to hold it? Never mind, I’ll be alive and well to see it.

We both know you won’t hold them for long.

Meanwhile, to respond to #Backstabbing best friend, should I say thank you for posting? If you dared, wouldn’t you have posted the whole audio? Are you scared you’d also be implicated? Pfft, I don’t need your support, hiding behind an anonymous identity to wave your guilt!

I have always known about her schemes, oh I even have proof after this, let’s see who is the seducer without knowing their boundary.

PS. The man in the pictures is my ex and those pictures were taken when we were still dating and @Lady Smith is engaged to a certain Young Master, I wonder what your fiancee will think of you after seeing these! I’ll be sure to send a copy to him!

Lily posted several pictures of Merissa and Zach being together while they were still in a relationship. Some pictures of them show where they were kissing and some showed even more intimate of them in the bedroom.

@LadySmith I owe you nothing but you owe me everything, I promise the next time you make rumours about me the next pictures will be worse than these!

As people saw the post the school forum exploded into chaos and the new post soon made it to the top of the trending list.

Merissa, who still had not recovered from the shock of what happened in the restaurant, got an even more shocking blow as she read the new post.

Her eyes lost their focus and she trembled in fear and apprehension. She stared at the caller ID with a pale face as her phone began to go off. With her heart in her throat, she picked up the call and almost fainted as the cold voice of her father came off of the phone, “Merissa! Come home this instant and explain what is happening to me!”
