Chapter 3

"Mom, I'm full. I need to go to class now," I said, putting down my knife and fork and looking sweetly at Mom.

After realizing Mom had also traveled back in time, when she frantically tried to make it up to me and asked what I wanted, I pointed at the TV and said I wanted to learn ballet and enter math competitions. I told her I wanted to become a daughter she could be proud of.

Mom's eyes filled with a kind of frenzy when she heard that.

In my previous life, under Mom's doting, Rachel never cared about studying. She often got Mom called to school because of her poor grades.

If she couldn't even handle basic schoolwork, forget about any extracurricular activities.

While kids from similar backgrounds all had one or two special skills, Rachel only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

I knew that even though Mom never said it out loud, she secretly envied other people's children.

So, if that's what she wanted, I'd become that child she envied in others.

After all, knowledge belongs to whoever learns it.

As Mom and I finished getting ready and were about to leave, Mom suddenly turned to look at Rachel standing alone behind us, her face filled with undisguised disgust.

"Clean up the house before we get back! All you do is eat and sleep all day, like a pig. How did I end up with a child like you?"

Turning back to me, Mom's voice became extremely gentle.

"Sweetie, after your class, how about Mom takes you shopping for clothes? That brand store just got a lot of new styles in. They'll look perfect on our little princess!"

I hugged Mom's neck and thanked her sweetly.

My gaze fell on Rachel's bruised face behind Mom, and I couldn't help but smirk.

You think this is unfair? This isn't even a tenth of what you and Mom did to me in my past life!

Just you wait, the real suffering is yet to come.
