In her previous life, after Naomi killed someone in ba /bhit–and–run, their usually cold mother had actually held her hand tenderly and said. “Eliza, you’re her elder sister. She’s about to get married. You wouldn’t want to watch your sister die, would you?

The fact bthat /bshe was the elder sister meant she had to take the me for Naomi and take on the charge of the hit–and–run.

When the victim’s family caused a scene in court, she was beaten until she vomited blood, while Evelyn was only concerned bwith /bprotecting Naomi, who was standing by as a family member.

Did all of this happen to her simply because she bwas /bthe older sister?

Eliza asked. “Mom, Dad, do you both think that as an older sister, I should sacrifice everything for Naomi, bincluding /bmy life!”

Nathan and Evelyn both frowned; they didn’t understand why she would say such strange words.

Evelyn snapped. “It’ste; what nonsense are you spouting now? I would want to ask you instead–I heard from Naomi about you breaking off the engagement with Zayden. What’s going on?”

Facing the scolding. Eliza responded calmly, “Zayden doesn’t love meb, /bso he wants to break off the engagement, and bI /bagree

A sudden bang echoed through the room.

Evelyn mmed the table, standing up angrily, and said, “Nonsense! Why don’t you tell us about such a big matter?”

Eliza had anticipated her mother’s reaction.

In her previous life, because Zayden didn’t like her, the Holt family had attempted to break off the engagement multiple

times

This caused her to lose face at school and be aughingstock of the entire Westbrook.

At that time, feeling disheartened, she had agreed to the breakup, but Evelyn had pped her angrilyb, /bsaying that her actions had affected Naomi’s reputation.

Yeah, how could a woman who was publicly dumped by her husband still be worthy to be Naomi’s older sister?

Naomi, acting like a sweet little angel, walked over to Evelyn and tried tofort her emotions. She said, “Mom, Eliza didn’t do it on purpose; please don’t be angry at her.

This time, Eliza clearly saw the sh of smugness in Naomi’s eyes.

Naomi had been struggling with how to get together with Zayden. Now that Eliza had voluntarily broken off the engagement, it was exactly bwhat /bshe had wanted.

She thought to herself bhow /bsilly her sister was

The Holt family was such a good match, but she refused to marry into it. Now, after breaking the engagement, no one would dare to marry Eliza.

Evelyn said. “Since Naomi is pleading for you, I’ll let it go this time. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the Holt family to apologize. and we’ll pretend that no one mentioned breaking off the engagement. The midterm exam ising soon, so focus on studying.

Evelyn took a deep bbreath /band continued, “Naomi has always been in the top three in her grade. But for you, your grades have been slipping, and the teacher has approached me and mentioned that with your current performance, you might not even bmake /bit into college.

When Evelyn brought up midterm exams, Naomi’s expression was a little uneasy, and she said, “Mom, why are you bringing that up? Eliza bis /bso smart. I’m sure she’ll do well in the next bexam/b. We should believe in her.”

Hearing Naomi bdefending /bher, Eliza couldn’t help but find itughable.

Naomi had been a top student in middle school, but after entering high school, she couldn’t keep up with the pace, and her results went into ba /bdownfall

Eventually, Naomi came and begged for her, asking if she could swap test papers with her.

In her previous life, Eliza did what Naomi told her, covering bfor /bNaomi, and ended up having their parents get called in by the school.

In the end, even the teachers stopped believing in her learning abilities.

In one exam, she took it with her real ability and didn’t swap papers with Naomi. As a result, she scored first in her grade.

The teacher suspected her of cheating, and it was Naomi who stood up and tearfully said that she was afraid Eliza bwouldn’t /bmake it binto /bcollege, so she swapped the papers with her in a momentary bpse /bof bjudgment/b.

No matter how much she tried to exin, her parents band /bthe teachers no longer believed her words.

Later, bNaomi /bshamelessly said that if she hadn’t begged for mercy for her, Eliza would have been punished.

It wasughable that she had actually believed this absurd excuse in her previous life.

But the good news was, she bhad /bonly covered for Naomi’s cheating twice up until now.

This btime/b, bshe /bwouldn’t be stupid enough to help her cheat.

Under the watchful eyes of Evelyn and Naomi, Eliza reached out and grabbed Naomi’s hand, then said with a smile. “Thank you, Naomi, for believing in me. This time, I’ll work even harder and try my best in the exam.”

Having her hand held by Eliza, Naomi instinctively stiffened.

Eliza had always been quiet and felt inferior in front of her. She would never actively bhold /bher hand or bsay /bsuch warm and bmushy /bwords.

This feeling made Naomi bufortable/b.

But since their parents were there, Naomi couldn’t draw her hand back band /bcould only force a smile looking at Eliza

Late at night, Eliza returned to her broom/b.

It was a bsmall /battic.

The attic barely had enough space for a bed and a simple study table.

Her room waspletely different from Naomi’s spacious and luxurious bedroom.

The Rivers family had other bguest /brooms, but her mother said those were reserved for rtives, asking her to bear with it.

Nathan silently agreed.

To them, Eliza had no status in this family.

Thinking of this, Eliza let out a mockingugh.

In her previous life, she had valued family ties above everything and willingly became the servant of this family, enduring all the impartial treatment,

This time, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to repeat her mistake

The next morning, Eliza didn’t prepare breakfast for the family as she left for school before dawn.

The school bwas /bempty, and the lights in the ssrooms were off.

Eliza climbed up to the ssroom on the fifth bfloor/bb. /bShe opened the door, entered the ssroom, band /bturned on the lights.

As bsoon /bas the lights turned on, a figure appeared in the back row of the ssroom.

Eliza frowned and thought, Zayden? Wasn’t he celebrating his birthdayst night? What was he doing in the ssroom? Had he not gone home? Forget babout /bit; it had nothing to do with me.

She had already divorced Zayden in her previous life. Even if she didn’t, she had no intention of having any ties with him in

this life.

bWith /bbthat /bthought in mind, Eliza carried her bag and walked toward her seat,

Zayden’s tired eyesnded on Eliza, and he said in a deep voice, “Who told you toe to school at this hour?”

His tone was full of questioning, even with ba /bhint of disgust.

He didn’t like others prying into his whereabouts and even disturbing his rest

bUpon /bhearing Zayden’s words, Eliza felt speechless.

Did she need Zayden’s permission toe to school?

Seeing that Eliza didn’t respond to him in ban /bunprecedented way, Zayden’s bfrown /bdeepened. He bkicked /bher bchair /band said. “Are you mule now?”

Eliza replied. “Aren’t you being childishb?/bb” /b

Growing up with Zayden, Eliza knew that he had always been a quiet and deep person.

Chapter 4 Eliza, Stop Your Little Trickst

At this age. Zayden was baloof /band liked to act mysterious, but deep down, he was still a teenager.

In her previous life, because she liked him, she always tried toe up with conversations with him, enduring allis annoying habits.

But now, she wouldn’t tolerate it.

If he had a problem, he should fix it

Zayden said, “Eliza, what are you up to this time?”

Sincest night. Eliza had seemed like apletely different person.

Not only did she stop following him around, but she also colilly mentioned breaking off the engagement.

Eliza opened her exercise book and started revising,pletely ignoring Zayden.

After being ignored a few times. Zayden’s mood became even more frustrated.

bZayden /bbsaid/bb. /b“My mom disagrees with breaking off the engagement. You think of something to solve it.”

He tossed the problem bat /bEliza.

At that moment, it came to Eliza’s realization why Zayden had stayed in the ssroom overnight.

It turned out bthat /bhis mother disagreed with the breakup.

It was just natural; how could she agree?

No mother–inw wouldn’t like a well–behaved, obedient maid who was easy bto /bmanipte.

Zayden continued, “Eliza, are you deaf?”

Seeing that Eliza still bhadn’t /bsaid a word, Zayden couldn’t help but mock her, “Or maybe you don’t want to break off the engagement at all? bWas /bst night just you throwing a tantrumb?/b”

Eliza suddenly put down her pen as a smack echoed through the ssroom.

That unexpected move froze Zayden..
