Based on past experience, Jaylene didn’t like obedient or submissive people. She liked people who dared to resist and fight back.

Alarieka had to get what she liked, so she couldn’t lower her head; she had to hold her head up and fight back.

She walked to the podium, put the books she was holding on it, then grabbed the almost-used-up chalk scattered on the podium and threw it at Jaylene again.

Jaylene had trained in martial arts, and her reflexes were really fast.

As expected, this time, she still didn’t hit her.

But it didn’t matter; she knew Jaylene was already interested in her.

Jaylene snorted and got up from her seat, walked up to her, and looked her up and down with a mocking look in her eyes.

“You still had some backbone.”

Alarieka kept her posture, picked up the stack of books, ignored Jaylene’s words, and brushed past her.

Jaylene’s face fell, and she grabbed her arm: “Hey, I was talking to you.”

“Jaylene, why did you say so much to her? This is Alarieka; everyone said she…”

Alarieka suddenly turned her head and looked calmly at the boy who was talking.

She kept looking at the boy, her face calm as usual. The boy started to look a bit uncomfortable, gradually stopped talking, turned his head, and avoided Alarieka’s gaze.

Jaylene chuckled and was about to say something, but then the class bell suddenly rang, and the teacher came in through the front door.

In the end, she just glared at Alarieka and went back to her seat.

Alarieka looked away and searched the whole class. Her eyes landed on the empty seat in the back corner. There was just one desk there, no deskmate.

She was happy with this position.

It was just that when she walked down the aisle, the classmates around her quietly moved away, trying to keep their distance from her.

Alarieka wasn’t surprised.

She walked to her seat, head down, packing up her books.

The teacher on the stage just glanced at her lightly and looked away, didn’t care about the other students who were still messing around, and started the class right away. Her tone was lazy and casual, like she didn’t care if anyone was listening at all.

Alarieka didn’t listen either.

She was looking at Jaylene’s back.

At that time, nobody–including Kieran himself–expected that this girl would later become Kieran’s biggest rival in business.

If she hadn’t been reborn, even she probably wouldn’t have guessed what kind of person Jaylene would become.

She had a sharp and clear business mind, acted quickly and decisively, and started a tech company in just a few years that even Kieran had to take seriously.

Alarieka felt sorry that in the past fights, Jaylene ended up losing to Kieran’s heavy attacks and got her company taken over by Kieran.

It was just that Jaylene had always been able to let things go. Ever since she joined Kieran’s team, she became the second-in-command there, and the profits she brought in kept going up and up.

Not only were Jaylene’s skills and thinking impressive, but her character was also top-notch.

Alarieka wouldn’t forget that back when almost everyone was badmouthing her and humiliating her, it was Jaylene who sent her to the small town, away from all the trouble, and gave her a place to settle down.

But also because Jaylene was too important to Kieran, Roschelle, out of jealousy, went after her and turned her into a vegetable who would never wake up.

In this life, she wanted to take down Jaylene before Kieran found her.

When the class bell rang, the teacher didn’t even look at the students and just turned and left.

Alarieka was still buried in the workbook.

It was probably on Jaylene’s orders; the students in this class kept turning to look at her, but no one actually bothered her.

This was also the reason Alarieka was willing to come to this class.

Even though these students messed around all day, they had hero spirit and brother-sister bonds deep in their bones. They worshipped black-and-white morals and longed for justice and courage. They were total overly dramatic kids and would shout out overly dramatic slogans that they’d be embarrassed about later.

Kids like this didn’t do things like stab people in the back.

It was way better than the class she was in before.

Though it wasn’t mature, it was just right for Alarieka.

Alarieka looked up and met Jaylene’s curious gaze.

Jaylene probably didn’t expect her to suddenly look up. Her face froze for a second, then she immediately looked upset, shot her a fierce glare, and quickly turned around, showing her back to her.

Alarieka suddenly laughed.

She never thought that back then, sharp and keen Jaylene would actually be like this in high school.
