Marie’s behavior after returning did make Marionette feel a little uneasy.
After all, she didn’t expect Marie to no longer be the weak and pitiful girl she remembered.
Marie had learned to fight back.
However, Marionette’s unease disappeared when she saw Marie daring to confront the elders in public and even confidently stating that she would be the top student in the first academy grade.
She understood that the Marie who had come out of the juvenile detention center was no longer as weak as before, but had become a reckless fool.
Marie raised an eyebrow and said, “So soon you’re not pretending to be innocent and pitiful anymore?”
“I’m just telling you out of kindness that no matter how hard you struggle, it’s useless. You’re destined to be stepped on by me for the rest of your life and you’ll never be able to turn the tables!”
Marionette thought Marie would argue with her or even curse at her, but to her surprise, Marie just smiled and didn’t react at all.
“Hey! I’m talking to you, are you deaf?” Marionette became angry and wanted to push Marie, but she missed and was shocked to see Marie suddenly in front of her.
She couldn’t explain why, but even though Marie’s body was still fat and clumsy, she felt that Marie was somehow more agile than before.
Marie didn’t pay attention to what Marionette was saying, as she was considering whether to stop by the bookstore on the way and buy some exercise books.
The education system she received before her rebirth was different from the traditional schools in Splendid Country.
Even though those subjects were a piece of cake for her, she promised to be prepared for the bet.
As for Marionette, she had been invisible to Marie since she left the private room.
Such a person was not worthy of her attention.
“Damn it!” Marionette glared at Marie’s back with a fierce expression, clenched her fists, and kicked a stone beside her in anger.
“Soon you’ll have to pack up and leave Lincoln Family. Let’s see how long you can be arrogant!”
Marie bought a few reference books from the bookstore and flipped through them when she returned to Lincoln Family.
When she found that the exercises were all too easy, she gave up the idea of staying up late to review.
Then she opened the old computer and logged into the hacker website she created in her previous life as a visitor.
Suddenly, a message popped up.
Marie clicked on the page, and her hand operating the mouse froze.
The message was brief, consisting of a 36-digit encrypted password.
Some key information in this code was only known to her.
It could be said that this was a message intended for her.
Soon, she deciphered the code.
After reading the decoded message for two minutes, Marie said to herself, “He finally appeared?”
She thought of the man who was more handsome than her four brothers combined, who was cold and unapproachable like a god, but was willing to lay down his guard in front of her. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping . com.
The man who always said he didn’t like her, but always “coincidentally” ran into her and ended up going to the same place and doing the same things as her.
The man who risked everything to stand in front of her when danger approached, who walked alone in his missions and was the only man who could fight alongside her.
Thinking of all the little moments she spent with him, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
She always believed that her efforts back then wouldn’t be in vain.
The man who died to save her would definitely be reborn.
However, she didn’t expect him to make her wait for two years.
What’s more, the message showed that the man was now in Brooklyn City, and there was a high possibility that he was in the First Academy of Brooklyn City.
Marie stared at the message on the computer screen and curled her lips.
“The First Academy? I’m actually looking forward to school starting early…”
The next day, Marie got up early and went out for a run.
The toxins in her body are slowly decreasing now, but due to the weight gain caused by the toxins, she can’t lose it automatically for the time being.
Marie wants to restore her body to its normal state as soon as possible, so she can only increase her exercise.
When she returned to the Lincoln Family after running five kilometers, she saw Madam Lincoln, who was also wearing sportswear, bending over with her body leaning against the villa’s door.
“Marionette! Marionette!” She called out loudly while leaning against the door.
“What’s wrong with you?” Marie walked up and could hear Madam Lincoln’s painful cries.
After seeing Marie, Madam Lincoln couldn’t help but roll her eyes and curse, “You stupid girl, can’t you see anything? Didn’t you see that I sprained my foot? Why didn’t you come up and help me?”
Marie helped Madam Lincoln into the villa.
During this time, Madam Lincoln kept chattering.
“Since you came back home, I’ve been unlucky!”
“I think you’re a jinx. You’re only happy when our family is in chaos!”
“What’s the use of having you? We should have strangled you when you were born…”
…
“Mom! What’s wrong with you?” Marionette heard the commotion and ran down from upstairs.
Madam Lincoln hobbled into the living room with
Marie’s help, her other arm supported by Marie.
Marie didn’t bother to compete with Marionette for credit and simply let go, heading back to her own room.
“I sprained my foot while jogging this morning and didn’t bring my phone. I had to force myself to walk back,” Madam Lincoln said, her forehead covered in sweat.
Her left ankle was so swollen that she couldn’t even put on her slippers.
“Marionette, go get some rubbing alcohol and help me apply it,” she said, unable to move without feeling a piercing pain in her ankle.
“But we don’t have any rubbing alcohol at home…”
“I’ll have the maid go out and buy some!” Marionette immediately ran to the kitchen and sent the maid out to buy rubbing alcohol.
“When will the rubbing alcohol be back?” she asked every minute after that.
The pain was too much for her to bear.
“It should be back soon,” Marionette replied quickly.
Madam Lincoln had always been pampered and had never suffered any injuries.
She didn’t know how to take care of herself, let alone how to deal with a sprain.
“It hurts,” she moaned.
“It hurts so much…”
“I’m going to die from the pain!”
Madam Lincoln kept screaming.
“Shall we call an ambulance?” Marionette suggested cautiously.
“No! We can’t call an ambulance!” Madam Lincoln couldn’t afford to be carried away on an ambulance in front of her neighbors because of a sprained ankle.
Marie came out of the room and approached Madam Lincoln.
“Let me take a look.”
Madam Lincoln’ screams were really annoying, making it impossible for her to have peace in the room.
Madam Lincoln said irritably, “What can you see? Can you give me a massage or do you know how to adjust bones?”
”
Keep your voice down!
You’re bothering me!” Marie replied.
She looked down at Madam Lincoln’s left foot and said, “Your bones are misaligned. If not treated in time, it may leave sequelae.”
Marie didn’t mean to scare Madam Lincoln, she was telling the truth.
Madam Lincoln’s sprain was not serious, but she insisted on walking back, which aggravated the injury.
If not treated soon, she might become disabled and have to limp for the rest of her life.
And according to Madam Lincoln’s personality, if she really became disabled, she would definitely make the family restless.
Since Marie had decided to stay here temporarily to fulfill the original owner’s wish, she didn’t want to see Madam Lincoln go crazy all day long.
“Pah! I just sprained my ankle, what kind of after-effects could there be? Are you trying to curse me, you jinx?”
