When I turned the corner, I just heard Lindsay chatting with my two childhood friends.
"I did see Sarah get off the car of the directors of Riverdale University in the middle of the night, but this doesn't mean anything. Maybe Sarah really got into Riverdale University based on her own grades." Lindsay spoke in a low tone.
"Lindsay, don't speak for her. She doesn't even dare to announce her grades. She must be guilty and dare not let people know!"
"Yes, Lindsay, you are always deceived by her because you are too kind. A woman with such a scheming mind like her can do anything."
After joining the research team, I signed a confidentiality agreement to hide my grades.
Unexpectedly, this became an excuse for Lindsay to frame and spread rumors about me. And my two childhood friends, they knew how hard I studied for my grandmother. But they still chose to believe Lindsay's words.
I smiled bitterly and comforted myself that it didn't matter.
After I officially enter the school, all my identity information would be hidden. By then, I could completely cut off my relationship with them. No needed to listen to these hurtful words. No needed to live foolishly in lies and deception, and end up with a miserable death.
I pretended not to hear anything and walked in front of the three people. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Jeremy changed his contempt and looked at me with a smile. "Sarah, that's great. We can be in the same school again in the future. Your efforts over the years have not been in vain."
Shawn also smiled.
"We can continue to protect you, but four years are not enough, it takes a lifetime!"
Several little girls passing by looked at me with envy. There was no ripple in my heart.
In the previous life, the four of us went to the same university. In order to have a good future, I studied hard and actively participated in school activities. But in the end, my scholarship and postgraduate study quota were all secretly manipulated and exchanged for Lindsay.
There were also rumors that I had an improper relationship with the school leaders. I was isolated and bullied for four whole years.
At that time, the two of them also said that they would stand by me and protect me. But I didn't know until I died that they were the initiators of all this. In countless days of tossing and turning, I was always crying until dawn. They used my pain to make their beloved Lindsay happy.
