The third practice exam was coming soon.

"Kathy, good luck on your exams!" Lisa saw me coming downstairs and came up to me enthusiastically.

I smiled and spoke to her meaningfully.

"Good luck to you, too."

"Go to the cemetery."

I opened the car door and said to the driver.

"Okay, Ms. Morgan."

I was not planning to take the exam today but going to visit my mother.

"Mom, I'm here to see you."

I leaned over and placed the flowers on the grave.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I was so stupid in my last life. I even have to call the thief my mother..."

As I said this, my tears couldn't stop falling.

I no longer had to pretend to be strong in front of my mother.

In my previous life, I was slandered and became notorious, and finally died in a stinking alley.

After my death, I watched Lisa join the Morgan Group and change its name.

It was then that I realized that Lisa was not my father's child!

"Kathy, why are you here?"

The sudden sound startled me and I hurriedly wiped my tears with my sleeves.

"Dad?"

My dad was wearing a black suit and holding the same flowers as me.

"Yes."

Dad walked over, placed the bouquet on the grave, and then stood next to me.

"Aren't you taking the exam today?"

I sobbed and asked, "You know it?"

My dad nodded.

"Don't be nervous. No matter what happens, you can always rely on me and the Morgan Group."

My dad was not good at saying things like that, and I saw his hands were clenched tightly.

Well, I was not good at it either.

"Okay. I'll be leaving first."

After walking a few steps, I suddenly stopped.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, you should do a paternity test with Lisa."

After saying that, I ran down the mountain as if escaping.

As I got in the car, scenes from the past came to my mind.

My father's family didn't like my mother back then. My mother was an artist and didn't like being restricted or staying at home.

My grandparents didn't like her because of this.

Therefore, when Mia and Lisa came to our home with the paternity test results, my grandparents hurriedly recognized them.

There was a notification sound.

I looked down and saw it was a message.

[I didn't take the exam today as you requested, so we are even.]

The person who sent the message was Owen Swift.

That year, he got low grades on the exam and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but I saved him.

He said he owed me a favor, so he did this for me.

[OK.]

After sending the message, I was informed that he had blocked me.

However, someone must be extremely panicking right now...

I was in a good mood and spent the whole day in the library reviewing.

After having supper, I happily returned home at around 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Kathy! Why didn't you take the exam today?"

As soon as I entered the door, Lisa rushed to me and asked.

"Oh, I got something to do, what's wrong?"

Lisa asked angrily, "Is there anything more important than the exam?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if I fail the college entrance exam, I still have the Morgan Group."

After saying that, I patted Lisa's shoulder.

Lisa's face immediately turned pale.

I thought this was also one of the reasons why Lisa hated me.

Under pressure from my grandparents, my father adopted Lisa and let Lisa and her mother live with us.

The condition was that Lisa and Mia had no right to obtain any shares of the Morgan Group.

"By the way, Lisa, how did you do on the test today?"

I walked around Lisa and sat on the sofa.

"Well, not bad."

I couldn't stop being excited. It was impossible.

Although our school had first-rate educational facilities and teachers, it was not the best school in our city.

There were no people who could perform as well as me and Owen in our school.

Our school was an international school, with few students and high tuition fees. Most of the students were children from wealthy families who were preparing to study abroad.

I studied hard because I wanted to study at my mother's alma mater.

And Owen was invited to study in our school at a huge price.

He and I didn't take the exam today, so Lisa must be very tired from copying the answers.

If Lisa dared to search for answers on the Internet, she would be arrested and interrogated soon.

So she could only copy the answers of people with excellent grades, which must be very difficult...

Lisa's method of copying the answers was very simple. She would stop time, then find my exam room and copy my answers.

I had to admit that this method was good.

After rebirth, I found that I was no longer controlled by this system and I could feel the passage of time.

I could see Lisa carrying the test paper and pen, running from another examination room to mine, and copying my answers.

"System! Why didn't you tell me that Kathy wasn't going to take the exam today? I'm so unlucky today. Owen didn't take the exam either. I wasted ten minutes of my right of stopping time looking for him..."

Lisa's angry voice rang in my ears again.

Well, if she was unhappy, then I would be happy.

"This is out of the range of system prompts, but here is a friendly reminder to the you that your remaining stagnation time is thirty minutes."

Oh, it seemed that since Owen and I were not here, she failed to copy the answers smoothly.

So much time wasted.

"Got it! Isn't it easy to make her jealous of me?"

Lisa's tone was nonchalant.

Then I would wait and see.

The results came out very quickly this time.

Lisa was ranked tenth. It was obvious that she had worked very hard at copying.

"No wonder she betted that Lisa would be the winner. She couldn't stand losing and didn't dare to come to take the exam."

As soon as the results came out, Sofia ran to me.

"Why did you say that? That day was my mother's death anniversary. I just..."

As I spoke, tears rolled down my cheeks.

When the people around heard this, they also looked at Sofia with strange looks.

No wonder Lisa loved to act pity in her previous life. It was useful.

"Okay! Sofia, stop it." Lisa hurriedly grabbed Sofia.

"Kathy, I am sorry. Sofia doesn't know it. Please don't be angry with her..."

She looked so pitiful that others might think I had bullied her.

I sneered in my heart.

"Aren't you two sisters? Why didn't Lisa go with you?"

My classmate asked this just at the right time.

I looked at my classmate who asked the question with gratitude.

I wiped my eyes and sobbed.

"Actually, Lisa was not born by my mother. We have the same father but different mothers. After my mother passed away, Lisa's mother showed up with Lisa..."

After I said that, everyone understood.

After all, this was quite common for these rich second generations.

The noise of people talking made Lisa's face even paler.

"Ah! Sorry, Lisa, you asked me not to tell anyone, but I forgot about it today."

I pretended to feel very guilty and held Lisa's hand.

Lisa forced a smile and said, "It's okay..."

Sofia asked angrily, "Are you the daughter of the mistress?"

Lisa looked at Sofia's angry face and didn't know what to do.

"You know that I hate mistresses the most!"

Sofia yelled at Lisa angrily, and then rushed out of the classroom.

Lisa hurriedly chased after her.

Everyone in the classroom started to discuss.

I said in my heart, "Sorry, dad. It seems that you have to bear the blame of being a scumbag.

Lisa, you are such a loser. How did I lose to you in my previous life?

Was it because of that system?"

In the evening, my father called me to his study.

"What else do you know? What are you going to do?" My dad looked at me seriously.

It looked like the paternity test result was out.

I walked forward and checked the paternity test on the table.

It turned out to be just as I expected.

"You don't need to know the process, just look forward to the results."

After saying that, I turned around and prepared to push the door and walk out.

"Wait," my father stopped me.

"If you need any help, please tell Kevin."

I smiled sincerely for the first time since my rebirth and said, "Okay, I will do it."

"Kathy, what did you say to dad?"

When I opened the door, I saw Lisa standing at the door.

"Was you eavesdropping?" I pouted.

Lisa waved her hands hastily and said, "No, how could that be?

"Oh, Kathy, look, this is the bracelet grandparents gave me."

Lisa shook the jade bracelet in her hand ostentatiously.

This bracelet looked cheap, only Lisa treated it as a treasure.

However, the college entrance examination was only a few days away, and Lisa could only stop the time for 30 minutes, which was obviously not enough for her to copy all the answers.

No wonder she had been trying to attract my attention every day these days.

"Oh? It's just normal."

I pretended not to care, but my eyes were fixed on the bracelet.

"Kathy is jealous, and the stagnation time increases by 20 minutes."

Lisa smiled even more happily.

Lisa, who felt she had mastered the method, became even more unscrupulous.

She showed me the money my grandparents transferred to her, the coffee bean my grandfather gave her, and the jewelry my grandma gave her...

I had to admit that Lisa was stupid. We were just two blood-related people who were not familiar with each other.

I was rich and good-looking, so why should I care about two people who didn't care about me?

Without the system, Lisa was nothing.

But I had to pretend to be jealous to let her gain more time.

"System vulnerability detected."

The sudden mechanical sound made me freeze in place.

What was the meaning?

"Sorry, we were negligent. The subsystem fell during transportation and affected the development of the world. We are very sorry."

"I was homeless and my family was destroyed in my previous life. Do you think you can solve this just by apologizing?"

How ridiculous! My failed life was caused by a mistake.

I clenched my fists. Because of the system, Lisa kept provoking me and making me jealous of her.

Because of the system, Lisa dared to slander me unscrupulously, copy my grades, and get the Morgan Group...

The system was silent for a moment.

"It was our mistake, we will try our best to meet your requirements."

I was moved. They would try their best to meet my requirements?

"Why did that system help Lisa? Why didn't you find out in time?"

"It just happened to fall near your home, and Lisa has a strong desire to make you jealous. There is a time difference between interstellar space and the earth."

I thought, "Lisa, I have always treated you as my sister.

For fear that others would say you were an illegitimate child, I never took the initiative to mention your identity.

I prepared a copy for you of whatever I had.

In my previous life, until the college entrance examination, I believed in you so much.

I listened to you, started live streaming, and forced the exam monitoring to be published.

In the end, everyone laughed at me...

"I want to know what happened back then, why did Mia dare to bring a fake report to claim her kinship? Ah, by the way, leave that system to Lisa until the college entrance examination is over."

The system immediately said, "You know, we don't have to meet your request."

I snorted coldly and said, "So?"

The system was silent for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I promise. Please accept it."

After reading the information sent to me by the system, I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart.

The truth turned out to be like this.
