I couldn't help but curl my lips into a cold smile.
She endured me for three years.
I had also endured Ella for three years.
Just because my parents worked in another city, every time I went to her house, she treated me as if I were an orphan.
Her dad was working hard outside to do business, while my parents worked to earn tuition for me, which was embarrassing and shameful.
My family was just not so wealthy, but it was not like we were committing murder or arson!
In the past life, when Ella was repeating a grade, she stole her family's bank card, and the next day she begged me to come to her house for a meal, asking me to thank her mom in person.
Originally, I was wondering why there was such a grand celebration for two review books.
When I sat at the dining table and saw her mother Regina Pratt's gloomy face and heard her sarcastic tone, I finally understood.
I became the scapegoat again.
I ate a delicious meal, but I couldn't taste it. I sat at the dining table with a sense of unease.
After finishing the meal, Ella was called to the kitchen, under the pretext of helping.
Actually, it was a reminder for her to stay away from me.
Ella's mom said that I got close to Ella just to take advantage of her family's educational resources.
They thought I was a nerd who couldn't understand, but I'm not a fool!
After that day, I gradually distanced myself from Ella.
But I still couldn't prevent the final disaster.
This time, if I didn't let her daughter have a "bright" future. I was sorry for my rebirth luck!
Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Regina lost patience.
She directly gave me an ultimatum like the queen.
"I'll give you one hour to take Ella home, otherwise, wait for the police to come to your house to pick her up!"
Hearing this, I picked up my phone again and held it as far away as possible.
I pretended not to hear clearly and shouted, "Hello? Auntie, what did you say? What Peppa is picking someone up?"
"Auntie, my family is too poor and there is no signal. I can't hear you. I'll hang up first!"
After saying that, I hung up the phone directly and went to the bathroom to blow dry my hair.
After applying essential oil to my hair, I received five missed calls on my phone.
All of them were from Regina.
Since the calls were not answered, she switched to sending text messages.
