Chapter 5: St. Rona Academy
St. Rona Academy was the most prestigious academy in Myranthia, where students were either rich or influential. In the academy's exclusive parking lot, a red Ferrari executed a perfect drift and parked flawlessly. Olivia stepped out of the car and looked at the familiar St. Rona Academy, her eyes reflecting a hint of satisfaction.
In her past life, Olivia had been raised by her grandmother in the countryside until she fortuitously met Mr. Liam from the Wilson family. It was only then that the Carter family had brought her back. Olivia had always believed that the Carters were her real parents and longed to be with them. After being taken back by the Carters, she tried hard to please them, endured her brother Jamesโs bullying, and cared for her sister Amelia.
It wasnโt until James hit her with a car, leading to her death, that Olivia learned she was not the Cartersโ biological daughter. She was a child of another wealthy family, swapped with the Cartersโ daughter in an accident. She had been sent to the Cartersโ home in the countryside while the Cartersโ real daughter enjoyed the riches and luxury of Oliviaโs biological family.
In this life, besides wanting to divorce Alexander, Olivia was determined to find her real parents and expose the Carter familyโs deception. Unaware that her impressive driving skills had attracted the attention of a few boys who had just exited their luxury cars, Olivia proceeded toward her performance class. Among them was James, the very person who had killed her in her previous life.
Seeing Olivia step out of the Ferrari, Jamesโs eyes widened in disbelief. That was his supposed โcountry bumpkinโ sister? Impossible! How could that useless person afford a multimillion-dollar supercar! In his shock, a greedy thought emerged in his mind. That car was his!
Nearby, another boy, Benjamin, also noticed Olivia. Watching the girl drive away with such flair, Benjaminโs eyes revealed a flicker of intrigue. Her driving was impressive, and she was interesting. He was curious if he could have a chance to race against her.
Olivia made her way to her performance class, guided by her memories. In her past life, becoming an actress was Oliviaโs biggest dream, but that dream had been overshadowed by her involvement with Alexander.
As she entered the classroom, she was met with the gaze of several students. Their looks were filled with disdain and hostility, as if she were an unwanted rodent intruding on their space.
โI donโt understand why the school accepts students like her. Itโs dragging down the academyโs prestige.โ
โOlivia is just like Isabella, both special admissions students from poor backgrounds trying to fit into this elite academy. How embarrassing for her.โ
โHey, I saw Mia dump trash on her desk. Do you think sheโll end up crying again?โ
Special admissions students like Olivia were always out of place and became the targets of ridicule from the wealthy students. As Olivia approached her seat, she found a tipped-over trash can and garbage scattered all over her desk. Her heart sank, but she kept her composure and took a deep breath. She had been through worse. She could handle this.
Olivia began to clean up the mess, determined not to let these petty actions deter her from her goal. She was here to make a name for herself and to find out the truth about her past. And no amount of ridicule or sabotage would stand in her way.
