"What do you mean by that, Tristan? I'm your sister! If you do such a traitorous thing, Mom and Dad would never forgive you."

Elise's expression darkened as she continued to threaten me. She had always seen me as a weak, soft-hearted person. Whenever she scared me, I would always compromise.

I didn't know how I had become so tough. I sneered at her. "Now you remember that we're family? How could you ask your own younger brother to be the scapegoat for someone else?

"Are you even worthy of being my sister if you do that? From now on, I don't want anything to do with either of you. You'd better stay out of my way."

After what had just happened, I was now thoroughly disappointed in them. If they continued to pester me, I didn't mind getting them thrown in prison.

When Callista saw that Elise had failed to persuade me, she hurried over. "Tristan, how could you say such a thing? Even if Elly wants you to help and take the blame for this, she won't let you do it for nothing.

"Jeff has said that he'll give you 300 thousand dollars if you help him take the blame for this. With your current abilities, it'll take you at least four years to earn that amount! You're not making a loss at all."

I wanted to laugh even more. From what I knew of Jeffrey, he was addicted to Internet gambling and often went hungry as a result. He probably couldn't even come up with three thousand, let alone 300 thousand.

I knew without a doubt that Elise and Callista would be coming up with the money. The consequences of what they were asking were far more serious than they were making it sound.

Otherwise, I would not have been driven to jump off a building in my previous life. Even now, they were still trying their best to deceive me. They were being ruthless, for Jeffrey's sake.

"You want to buy my future with just 300 thousand dollars? Don't you think that's too cheap? My education abroad alone is worth more than that."

I did not give them any chances to keep trying to persuade me, and I began to busy myself at my desk.

The looks in Callista's and Elise's eyes turned extremely sinister. They looked as if they wanted to swallow me whole.

I glanced at them and ignored them. I had recorded our conversation earlier.

If they tried to do anything out of line, I would post the recording online. They could have a taste of what it was like to have their reputation ruined.

As I was thinking about it, Jeffrey suddenly kicked the door to the office open, looking enraged. He grabbed me angrily by the collar. "How did you get hold of the surveillance footage in the operating theater?"

I smiled as I looked at him. "Since you made a mistake, you should take responsibility for it. Getting the surveillance footage shouldn't affect you, should it?"

Since I had been reborn, I had to keep some tricks up my sleeve. Before going off to the competition, I asked my classmate to record footage of Jeffrey operating on the patient.

That way, no matter how they tried to make me their scapegoat, they would not be able to force it on me.

When Elise heard our conversation, she walked over to me.

"Tristan, don't you know that getting surveillance footage without permission is against the rules? I want you to delete those videos as soon as possible. Otherwise, I have the right to fire you."

When I saw the determined look on Elise's face, I smiled bleakly. "That's what I hope for!"

I had performed very well in that competition earlier, and I had already received invitations from several hospitals. Most of those hospitals were public hospitals. The benefits provided were far better than the current private hospital I was in.

At that thought, I took out the resignation letter I had written and placed it in front of Elise.

"This is my resignation letter. I hope that you can sign it as quickly as possible."
