After Rebirth, I Won't Take the Blame

Before the college entrance exam, Emily went clubbing and rented a room with Daniel. But she told her family she was studying at my house.

She partied too hard. She missed the exam and got pregnant. She pinned the blame on me.

Her parents were furious when they found out. They broke into my house and beat me to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the day Emily asked me to cover for her.

Seeing her parents at my door, I smiled.

"Every injustice has its perpetrator. She fell in love. How is that my fault?"

——

"Liam, I'm going to a bar with friends. If my parents ask, tell them I'm studying with you."

Seeing the text on my phone, I suddenly felt dazed.

Hadn't I already been beaten to death by Emily's dad, Noah Jones?

At that moment, my phone vibrated again. It was Noah calling.

Seeing I didn't answer, he started sending me frantic voice messages.

"Liam, have you gone mad? The college entrance exam is tomorrow. You are keeping Emily and turning off her phone. Can you bear the responsibility if she misses the exam?!

"She's hardworking. Unlike you, an art student who can only get into a vocational college. Let Emily answer the phone now!"

Listening to Noah's angry questions, I couldn't help but frown.

In the previous life, three months before the college entrance exam, Emily hooked up with Daniel.

To meet up with Daniel, she always said she was coming to my house to study.

Noah thought someone like me had no future.

He warned Emily to stay away from me to avoid affecting her grades.

Later, Emily rented a room with Daniel. Noah caught her when she came back.

But she said she was studying with me at the hotel.

Noah's face turned dark.

"Emily, you're about to go to Harott University. What are you doing hanging out with a loser every day? What if something happens between you two alone?"

Emily laughed.

"Dad, Liam and I are best friends. Even if we slept in the same bed naked, nothing would happen."

I was so embarrassed by Emily's words that my face turned red. But I didn't explain.

I didn't expect this to indirectly cost me my life.

Seeing I hadn't replied, Noah grew impatient.

"Liam, did you hear me? Tell Emily to contact me now! The exam is tomorrow. If she misses it, I'll break your legs!"

Hearing this, I rolled my eyes speechlessly and directly blocked Noah.

In the previous life, Emily fell in love. Before the exam, she went clubbing and rented a room with Daniel. She missed the exam and got pregnant. But she blamed it all on me.

Her dad, Noah, insisted that I ruined her. Before the police could investigate, he broke into my house and beat me to death.

He said that if it weren't for me, Emily would get into Harott University.

As for me, I had already received an acceptance letter from Martint University for a photography major. My future was successful.

Yet I died tragically.

My parents, who were abroad, also suffered from online harassment due to Noah's manipulation of public opinion. Their company went bankrupt, and they died of depression.

Living again, I wanted revenge!

I also wanted to see if Emily could get into Harott University, as Noah boasted.

But unexpectedly, this time I didn't cover for Emily, yet her parents still came to my door.
