He would only think that a kind-hearted woman was stupid and gullible. Was there anything that could make a hunter happier than the prey actively revealing its soft belly?
On the day I left, my parents and Kelly saw me off in the station. Kelly looked very proud and hugged me.
"Stella, enjoy your college life.
"After all, after you graduate, you will only be able to work hard for your boss with a meager salary. But if you beg me then, maybe I can be merciful and lend you some money."
I didn't say anything. Kelly didn't know that I was also reborn. Logically, I should play the role of a sensible sister who dotes on her, but I was too lazy to talk to her.
After saying goodbye to my parents, I left. Kelly was very angry.
Behind me, she cursed, "Okay, if you have the guts, don't ever ask me for help in your life."
I thought, "Of course, Kelly.
Because your tasks of hell are about to begin."
When I was in my sophomore year, I called home and Mary told me that a rich young man had come to our town and had begun to pursue Kelly vigorously.
The two of them were in love with each other, and the man even proposed to Kelly at our home. Although he acted rudely, Kelly liked him very much and said that he was sincere.
I laughed. It was obvious that Kevin didn't want to waste any more time and just wanted to take Kelly away as soon as possible to avoid being forced into marriage by his parents.
Kelly snatched the phone from our parents and spoke proudly, "What do you think, Stella? I told you that studying at the university is useless. Do you know the background of Kevin's family? They own hundreds of five-star chain hotels.
"I'll be a rich wife if I marry her. I'll have endless money to spend even if I do nothing. So, do you regret making the wrong choice?"
I looked at the website that was already in its infancy on my computer. It was a website that my friends and I had spent several months to create.
I believed that soon, I would have my own business. By then, I would no longer have to rely on anyone, nor would I be locked up in a dark room.
Then, I could face any crisis in life with confidence.
Including Kevin's threat.
During my college years, I never dared to slack off for a moment. I worked hard to acquire professional knowledge, participate in school competitions, and study entrepreneurship with my partners. I felt that my life had never been so clear and fulfilling.
