Rejecting My Two Childhood Sweethearts Novel – After my rebirth, the first thing I did was tear up the admission letter from Princeton University with my own hands. I also rejected the fervent confessions of my two childhood friends. Why? Because in my previous life, I chose one of them—Henry Johnson. But on our wedding day, he abandoned me to elope with Sandy, causing my only relative, my grandmother, to die from anger.
In my despair, my other childhood friend, Kristoff, held my hand and vowed solemnly, “You still have me, Amelia. I’ll never let you down.” Because of him, I slowly moved on from my past. Kristoff pulled me out of the darkness, but after we got married, he suddenly became cold and distant. I thought it was because he regretted that we didn’t have children. Until one day, after a car accident, he left me dying on the road to save Sandy, who had only minor injuries.
I died on the spot, my soul drifting aimlessly, only to discover the truth—my entire life had been nothing more than a cruel love game among the three of them. They had already written wills, leaving all their inheritance to Sandy. On top of that, the reason I couldn’t conceive for years was because they had schemed against me! They had bribed a doctor to secretly remove my uterus, as a twisted testament to their loyalty to Sandy. In this new life, I decided to stay far away from all of them and live a life that was truly my own. —— When I tore up the Princeton University admission letter, my professor was shocked. “Amelia, what are you doing?” This year, our school had four students admitted to Princeton University.
I was the only one who got in with the top score in the entire city. Not just my teacher, but all the faculty had high hopes for me. I calmly replied, “I don’t want to go to Princeton University. I’ve applied to a special research program at Stanford University. They’ve agreed to assign medical staff to take care of my grandmother.” Sighing, she nodded. “So that’s the reason. Alright, I understand your family situation. You must work hard and carve out a bright future for yourself to repay your grandmother’s care.” I nodded, and balled my fist. Not even having time to grieve the misfortunes of my past life, Henry and Kristoff called me in a rush, urging me to come downstairs.
On my way down, I could feel the stares and whispers around me. Someone even tripped me on the stairs, muttering, “Slut.” Confused, I limped to the corner, only to overhear Sandy chatting with my two childhood friends. “I really did see Amelia getting out of the Princeton University board member’s car in the middle of the night, but that doesn’t necessarily prove anything. Maybe she really did get in with her own grades.” “Sandy, stop defending her. She doesn’t even dare to make her grades public. She must be hiding something!” “Exactly, Sandy, you’re too kind. She’s so scheming—there’s no telling what she’s capable of.” After joining the research program, I had signed a confidentiality agreement that required me to keep my grades private.
I never imagined that this would give Sandy the opportunity to slander me. However, of all the people who knew me, I didn’t expect that my childhood friends would think of me like that. They knew how hard I had studied for my grandmother’s sake, yet they still chose to believe Sandy’s lies. I let out a bitter laugh and consoled myself. It didn’t matter. Once I officially joined the program, all my personal information would be concealed. By then, I could finally cut ties with them completely. I wouldn’t have to endure these hurtful words anymore, nor live foolishly amidst lies and deceit, ending in such a tragic death.
Pretending I hadn’t heard anything, I walked up to the three of them. “What do you want?” I asked. Henry’s disdain vanished in an instant, replaced by a bright smile. “Amelia, this is great! We’ll be at the same school again. All your hard work has finally paid off.” Kristoff smiled as well, his expression equally warm. Start
