Chapter 531 Everything Had Changed
The three who remained behind stood in silence, their gazes fixed on Jean’s retreating figure, their expressions tight, none of them followed her.
Because they all knew this was just how Jean was, she always liked to handle things on her own first.
If she couldn’t, then they would step in; there would still be time.
After Jean entered the bedroom, she set her bag down on the desk.
The letter was still clenched between her fingers.
Without realizing it, she tightened her grip; the paper crumpled, creasing under the
pressure.
There was no doubt–the spiteful letter, full of accusations had come from Sarah.
Some of the so–called misdeeds described in the letter, while completely fabricated, conveniently matched the behavior of the original Jean from her past life.
Other than herself, the only person who knew what the former Jean had been like… was Sarah, the one who had been reborn.
That was why, the moment Jean saw the letter, she knew with absolute certainty that Sarah was behind it.
But Sarah was complicated.
Even though Jean had already reported her to Winston once before, this time, the letter dragged in matters from their past lives…
So she had no intention of blowing it up in front of the Ginger family.
She wanted to try handling it on her own first.
Sure enough, the calm of the past few days had just been an illusion.
Sarah had been working behind the scenes all along, only she’d miscalculated.
Sarah probably assumed that, even though Jean hadn’t been going after her at school, she was still the same as before–bad to the bone, just like the original.
That way, if the Ginger family saw a letter like this, there was a good chance they’d start investigating how Jean was doing at school.
And if they found that she was acting out, just like the letter claimed, the Ginger family would surely be disappointed in her.
But that wasn’t the case anymore.
She was a brand–new soul, transmigrated into this story world. Of course, she wouldn’t make the same foolish mistakes as the original Jean….
As for Sarah–she clearly underestimated how much the Ginger family already knew about her daily antics at Stellarford Academy.
They’d been keeping close tabs on her adjustment to university life; Winston even attended the same

school–she was right under his nose.
Their relationship had changed.
If this were the Ginger family from the past, they had barely cared for the original Jean. Their bond with her had always been distant and cold.
In that case, they wouldn’t have paid any attention to how she was doing at college; after receiving a letter like this, they’d only feel humiliated, ashamed of Jean–and their disappointment in her would hit a peak,
paving the way for Sarah, the charming heroine, to step in and replace her.
But now, everything had changed.
She had changed; and so had the Ginger family’s attitude toward her.
Sarah’s little stunt landed with all the force of a sigh–weak, forgettable, and gone in an instant.
The Ginger family would only see it as a joke, completely lacking credibility.
Even though the letter had done zero actual damage,
Jean was still furious. Was that really necessary? Did she really have to try and ruin her completely?
She’d been willing to step aside peacefully from the start…
But now, that didn’t seem possible anymore.
Jean set the crumpled letter down, then sank into the chair.
Since Sarah had come probing and provoking like this, of course she had to strike back…
At that thought, Jean’s eyes darkened like a night sky soaked in shadow.
The bedroom door suddenly rang with two knocks.
Jean didn’t even lift her head. Her expression blank, she simply said, “Come in.”
The door opened, and a tall figure stepped into view.
