Chapter 722: The Lawrence Family Owes Me a Life
Yes, Mikaela's family was very poor.
So even though she achieved the top scores in the county, she couldn't get into the prestigious Akloit High School, only allowing her equally outstanding sister to enter it.
Instead, she settled for the relatively affordable high school.
For most families, such a decision was somewhat unfair and helpless, but Mikaela never complained about her parents, because her older sister, who was a year older and prettier than her, deserved the best
resources.
Her sister treated her well, always tutoring her and taking part-time jobs to buy her birthday gifts.
They made a pact that if she got high grades for entrance examination, her sister would give her a laptop as a gift.
So when she happily went to find her at school after receiving high scores, she happened to witness her sister, disheveled and disoriented, falling from upstairs.
She saw the whole process, her sister didn't jump by herself, she was pushed.
The slender figure looked like a woman's, with long hair, wearing the uniform.
As several female students walked past her, they discussed the "suicide" case.
Mikaela heard the key words in their conversation - "Miss Lawrence!"
It turned out that her sister didn't have a good time there. Because of the family's poverty, her status as a poor student made her a target for the perverted rich students to bully her.
No wonder she came back with bruises every time. Her sister said it was from accidentally bumping into something during her part-time job.
In her sister's notebook, Mikaela found a record of her being bullied, and the torn paper had "Cheyenne" written on it.
Putting the rumors and hearsay she heard together, she thought Cheyenne had bullied her sister, forcing her to commit suicide.
But the latter was the wife of the president of the high-and-mighty Foley Group and a descendant of a highly skilled doctor. How could she, a lowly and poor person, have the chance to get close to her to avenge her sister?
So Mikaela chose a roundabout way. She sacrificed all her playtime, worked ten times harder than others, and finally got into the Akloit High School through her own efforts. Unfortunately, she could never see her sister again.
Her death was like a stone sinking into the sea, only splashing a few drops when it fell into the water, and as time passed, the water surface finally calmed down, and the stone was no longer noticed. In order to get revenge, she intentionally got close to Sean, became his girlfriend, and thus learned all about the Lawrence family.
She always thought it was Cheyenne who killed her sister, until the Lawrence family planned to move to Onistead, and Sean broke up with her. In the public cemetery, she met her sister's good friend, Chloe. Chloe told her that her sister was bullied at school, but it wasn't Cheyenne who bullied her, it was Danielle, and Nora was the mastermind.
Proud "school belle" Nora had always been the dream girl of all the boys in the school. After a rich boy who pursued her was rejected by her, he turned to pursue Mikaela's sister.
Proud Nora couldn't tolerate such humiliation, and she didn't have the courage to offend that boy, so she turned against Mikaela's sister.
One time, it was when her sister was on her way back from work, Danielle found a few men to defile Mikaela's sister's innocence, and fortunately Cheyenne, who happened to be passing by, knocked down those men.
The events of that day left a deep impression on Sister, who was too ashamed to speak of it to anyone, so she wrote the whole story in her diary.
After the incident, Danielle and Nora were afraid that their bullying on campus would be exposed, so they tore out the page of the truth from the notebook.
Chloe was afraid of being implicated, so she transferred abroad to study.
After finishing college, she realized that her lack of courage led to the burying of the truth, letting down her best friend. So, her first task upon
returning home was to buy a bouquet of chrysanthemumsand visit Mikaela's sister.
Mikaela came from Akloit to Onistead because she wanted Sean to regret, but he only offered empty "sincerity".
After she left, he quickly cycled through one girlfriend after another. If he could disregard their previous relationship and choose to embrace someone else, why should she remain faithful to him?
So, Mikaela sought out her current benefactor, Mr. Prince, through a referral. He promised to help her seek revenge on the Lawrence family.
She orchestrated a plan to ruin Nora and the Lawrence family, exposing Nora's miscarriage for the Parry family in Akloit, along with an even more explosive revelation. Just the former was enough to ruin Nora's reputation in the wealthy circles of Onistead.
After much contemplation, a thin layer of frost appeared on Chloe's face, her eyes as cold as ice. "What does paying a little tuition matter? The Lawrence family owes me, it's not just a matter of money, it's a matter of life."
Chloe paused, her tone becoming choked with emotion. "Girls like you, born into wealth and privilege, have no idea of the struggle required just to survive."
Sean's head cleared a bit, and his eyes stung when he saw his ex-girlfriend Chloe intimately embracing and kissing a middle-aged man.
She was the woman he had pursued for so long, and leaving her, breaking up with her, had been a last resort. Her family was too poor. Onistead, with its extravagant lifestyle, was not at all suitable for her.
His mother, Malaya, had warned him
that he had to break up with Mikaela before coming to Onistead, or she would cut off his financial support He really liked Mikaela, but the current Sean was just a 19-year-old boy a child of privilege, with no courage to sever ties with her and his family. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Because he had never earned a single penny, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to live without money in the future.
He admitted that he was a coward, and compromising with himself, he felt sorry for Mikaela.
To ease the guilt and longing in his heart for her, Sean went through several girlfriends in these few months, hoping to dilute Mikaela's influence.
He thought that with the passage of time, he could forget Mikaela, but when he saw her smiling in someone else's arms, he couldn't control his yearning for her.
How could she move on so quickly? She had once promised that the one she loved most was him.
Drunk, Sean went to punch Mr. Prince, but he wasn't one to mess with. He immediately called his bodyguards to beat Sean in retaliation, as a way of venting his anger for his lover, Mikaela.
