In my previous life, the very scholarship student I had supported, Sophie Linwood, ended up killing me. It started when Sophie came to my office with transfer records, crying and begging me in front of everyone, "Please, Evelyn, don't make me go back to those men. I don't want that kind of money anymore." I couldn't defend myself. People called me fake and cruel, and I lost my job. But she didn't stop there. Later, she drugged me and left me in some influencer's apartment, and then told my husband, Charles Grant, that I had cheated on him out of loneliness. Charles was so angry that he broke my legs and threw me out with nothing. As I was leaving the Grant residence, Sophie followed me outside and whispered in my ear, "I'm carrying Charles's baby. You must be jealous, since you could never give him one." She tilted her head, her eyes wide with fake innocence, yet full of poison. "Don't blame me. I just wanted to thank Charles in my own way." I lost control and tried to push her away. But she was stronger, and she shoved me backward, right into the street. A truck hit me. That was the end. Now that I had been given a second chance, I was done being nice. If she wanted to play the victim, I'd make sure everyone saw exactly who she was.
