Part 2The Reincarnated True Daughter Tried to Ruin My Finals, But I Read the Book First

After returning to the living room, Olivia said, "Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, until the DNA results are officially out, I should probably go back to the Hayes family."

My adoptive mother couldn't bear to let her go. She gently started asking about the Hayes family's situation.

When Olivia arrived today, she was wearing a faded, washed-out t-shirt.

I knew my adoptive mother wasn't saying it out loud, but she already assumed Olivia had a terrible life with the Hayes family and wanted her to stay immediately.

Olivia looked hesitant. "Dad is a doctor, and Mom is a teacher. Even though they don't make much money, squeezing into our tiny house together is still really happy."

I mentally highlighted the key words in Olivia's speech: don't make much money and tiny house.

My adoptive mother's face changed instantly.

Her eyes filled with heartache. "Olivia, please don't go back. Your final exams are tomorrow. Tossing and turning with all this traveling... I'm worried it will affect your performance."

My adoptive father thought for a moment before finally speaking up. "Give me the Hayes family's contact info. I'll communicate with them."

He made the call from his study, so none of us knew exactly what he said.

But not long after, my biological parents appeared at the entrance of the Sterling mansion.

The two sets of parents stayed in the living room to talk, while Olivia and I were sent back to our rooms.

Because Olivia arrived so suddenly, my adoptive mother could only put her in the guest room for now.

Once back in my room, I quickly organized my luggage and the supplies I needed for tomorrow's exams.

There really wasn't much to pack.

Since the day I realized I had transmigrated into a book, I had been preparing for this. I knew Olivia would show up eventually, and my time at the Sterlings was limited. It was better to be packed and ready than to be kicked out.

I don't know what they discussed downstairs, but my biological parents actually agreed to let me stay at the Sterlings' house until my exams were over, after which we would do our own DNA test.

When they were leaving, I walked them out.

My biological mom took my hand, her voice incredibly gentle. "Can I call you Harper?"

I nodded. "Of course."

She smiled warmly. "Harper, right now, nothing is more important than your exams. Whether we cry or laugh about this, let's save it all for after you're done testing, okay?"

She spoke so softly, offering me endless comfort.

I knew she was terrified that this sudden upheaval would ruin my state of mind.

But how could it?

In my past life, just like the original Harper, I was also my state's Valedictorian.

Olivia, on the other hand? In the original novel, after she reincarnated, she was so obsessed with scheming against Harper that she barely touched her textbooks. She ended up failing to even get into a community college.

She still didn't realize that in the original novel, both she and Harper were nothing more than cannon fodder meant to make the female lead look good.
