Exam day arrived.
Olivia and I were assigned to different testing centers.
In the original book, Olivia played the insecure victim card, manipulating Mr. and Mrs. Sterling into driving her to the exam center together.
Meanwhile, the original Harper—reeling from the double blow of finding out she wasn't their real daughter and being suddenly neglected by the parents who raised her—performed disastrously on her first subject.
Taking these exams is like a domino effect; if you mess up the start, your mental state shatters, ruining everything that follows.
To top it off, later in the week, Olivia secretly tampered with Harper's food, giving her severe food poisoning and forcing her to take the rest of her exams while violently ill.
As a result, the Harper who was supposed to be Valedictorian ended up barely qualifying for a low-tier community college. Meanwhile, the original female lead—who had always been forever second place—effortlessly claimed the Valedictorian title.
And Olivia? Even worse.
Before her reincarnation, she had been out of school for years. She had forgotten everything and lacked the discipline to study. She couldn't even get into a community college, so Mr. Sterling eventually paid an exorbitant fee to ship her off to an overseas diploma mill.
Knowing Olivia was going to pull a stunt, I spoke up first at breakfast. I proactively suggested my adoptive parents drive her to the testing center.
"I already scoped out my route yesterday. I know exactly how to get there, I can just take an Uber."
Oh, you want to play the innocent white lotus? Two can play that game.
Hearing this, my adoptive mother looked instantly heartbroken for me.
Olivia was caught completely off guard. She just sat there, mouth slightly open, desperately trying to maintain her fake, sweet smile.
It was hilarious.
My adoptive father frowned. "Harper, what nonsense are you talking about? Your mother will drive Olivia, and I will drive you."
In the original book, the Sterlings were actually always very good to Harper. Even after she moved back to the Hayes family, they frequently visited her.
I flashed a harmless smile. "Okay!"
The smile on Olivia's face slowly vanished.
