Chapter 3

I was stunned by her words, left speechless. It was shocking to hear such things from someone who always seemed so modern and well-educated! It became clear that all her previous efforts to appear innocent were just a facade, a ploy to snag a rich boyfriend!

I retorted, "You two are just temporarily apart. Failing the SAT isn't the end of the world. If your feelings were genuine, how could a small setback make you fall for someone else so quickly? You're still dreaming of an easy life, desperately making excuses for that jerk. Instead of blaming Aydan for being unfaithful, you're taking it all out on me!"

Gabriela was infuriated by my words, her face twisted with rage as she shouted, "Shut up!"

I pulled out a voice recorder, not wanting to argue anymore, and planned to go to the police. But before I could react, she pushed me down the stairs from behind.

She quickly cleaned up the scene. Later, she misled the police and my parents, claiming that I had chosen to commit suicide due to failing the SAT.

In front of everyone, she tearfully held my parents' hands, saying I was too foolish to commit suicide and that she, as my best friend, would take care of them in my stead.

With her excellent acting skills, Gabriela fooled everyone and avoided punishment, while I met a tragic end on that rainy night.

Overwhelmed by hatred, I clenched my fists, and the pen in my hand snapped with a loud "crack" under the pressure.

The sharp sound was particularly jarring in the quiet environment, drawing curious glances from my classmates.

I pretended to bend down to pick up the pen, hiding my angry expression. After a moment, I straightened up, having calmed myself. I had come up with the perfect plan for revenge.

Didn't Gabriela want to be with Aydan? In this new life, I wouldn't expose her; instead, I would help her get what she wanted! I wanted her to see what kind of person Aydan really was! Could he really help her climb the social ladder? I would let her think she had reached the top, only to fall and be shattered into pieces!
