Chapter 2
My gaze was icy as I watched Chandler laughing maniacally in front of the funeral
altar.

Chandler, let’s see how you’ll reach the top in
this life–without me.
I grabbed my mother’s arm just as she was
about to step out of the car.
Before coming here, I had already convinced
my parents to adopt Chandler today.

Mom looked at me in confusion.
“Mom, I don’t want you to adopt Chandler
anymore,” I said coldly.

My parents exchanged glances, their eyes
filled with doubt.
But I couldn’t possibly tell them about my
rebirth.
So I hugged Mom’s arm and pouted, “I just don’t like Chandler anymore. He’s arrogant and full of himself. I refuse to let him be my

I shook her arm playfully, and soon, their
hesitation faded.

They had watched Chandler grow up, and
they knew he was prideful.
With that, they stayed in the car.
Just as we were about to leave, a loud argument erupted from the crowd.
“I’m his uncle, but you’re his aunt! Why

“I’m a woman! I already have two kids at
home, and my son is about to take his college
a
entrance exams. How can I possibly take care
of him?”
“Oh, so you can’t handle it, but I can? Who
here doesn’t have kids? Besides, his father
helped you out plenty when he was alive-
have you no shame?”
“How dare you! When did I ever take his
money? After their deaths, I was the one who

arranged this funeral! I’ve done more than
enough!”
Curious, I leaned toward the window and saw
Chandler standing in the middle of the crowd,
head bowed, humiliation written all over his
face.
The argument was hard to hear clearly from
inside the car, so I stepped out to get a better
look.
But the moment I appeared, Chandler’s head
snapped up.

He glared at me with undisguised disdain.
“Stop arguing! None of you are worthy of
taking me in,” he sneered.

“You think I want to live with any of you? Let
me make this clear–even without you, I,
Chandler Finch, will thrive!”
“Oh, and one more thing–I’ll become a
tycoon in the future. Mark my words.”
The crowd stared at him in pity, assuming
grief had driven him mad.

But Chandler ignored them.
He shoved through the crowd and marched
straight toward me–then tried to climb into
our car.

I blocked him.
“What are you doing? Took you long
enough,” he snapped, as if I were some
servant.
I smiled sweetly. “Who are you? And why do

Chandler froze, then quickly recovered.

“Didn’t you always beg me to be your
brother?” he scoffed. “Sure, you’re not pretty,
and your grades are mediocre, but I suppose
you’ll do.”

He softened his tone, as if placating a child.
“Fine, I shouldn’t have refused to let you copy
my homework yesterday. I’ll let you cheat off

Again, he tried to enter the car.
Again, I stopped him.
Twice rejected, Chandler’s face darkened
with anger.
But this time, I didn’t rush to soothe him.
Crossing my arms, I said coldly, “Who do you
think you are? Why should my family adopt
you?”
Chandler stiffened as if struck.
Before he could respond, my parents stepped
out of the car.
“Chandler, we’re sorry for your loss; but you can’t just impose on us,” Dad said firmly.
