Semua Bab Exam Day Betrayal: He Carried Her Future: Bab 1 - Bab 10

30 minutes before the college entrance examination, I stood at the school gate, waiting to be let inside. Maverick Barkley ran toward me, breathless and anxious, sweat pouring down his face."Amelia, Ginger left her admission pass at home. I need to go back and get it for her."I nodded calmly. "Go ahead. Please be careful."Still panting, Maverick added, "After the science exam, wait for me at the school gate. I want you to come along to buy Ginger a birthday present."With zero hesitation, I looked straight at him and said, "No need. Maverick, let's break up."He froze, lifting his gaze in shock. Then, his brows furrowed, irritation flashing across his face as he asked, "Amelia Radford, what's with the attitude? I'm just helping Ginger get her admission pass. Nothing's going on between us." I nodded, my voice flat. "I know. I just want to break up. I don't think we're right for each other."Maverick stared at me, then let out a short, mocking laugh. Turning away, he snorted.

After the results were released, admission teams from Bloomdale University and Clarkston University showed up at my house. They were fighting over me, telling me I could choose any major I wanted.In the previous life, I wanted to study computer science, but Maverick talked me into civil engineering instead. Once I started college, I realized I hated that major.I forced myself through an entire year of nonstop studying, pulling countless all-nighters, just to make it through. Finally, I managed to transfer to computer science in my sophomore year.This time, without Maverick interfering with my decisions, I chose Bloomdale University's computer science program from the start. After submitting my applications, Lucy invited me to the mall for dessert.By sheer coincidence, or bad luck, we ran into Maverick and Ginger just as our desserts were served.Ginger clung tightly to Maverick's arm. Without asking, she joined us at our table. "What a coincidence, Amelia. You're here for de

Maverick's face twisted with annoyance as he yanked his arm free from his father's grip. "Enough! What the hell are you all making a scene for? Ginger is the most innocent girl I've ever met. How could she possibly force me into anything? "It was my choice. All I want is to be with Ginger. So what if it means I miss the exam?"Maverick's parents went pale with rage, hands trembling as they pointed at him. "Y-You ungrateful brat! We raised you with everything we had, and this is how you repay us?"Maverick's expression turned icy. His voice was flat as he said, "If you despise me that much, we can cut ties. "From now on, I'll treat Ginger's parents as my own. I'll treat them well, and that's good enough for me."Mrs. Livingston burst into loud, triumphant laughter at Maverick's remark. "You heard that, you poor school teachers? "Maverick wants us to be his parents instead. Why don't you go home and wash up for bed?"Ginger wrapped her arms around Maverick affectionately. "Mr

Once the semester began, I finally stepped onto the campus of Bloomdale University. With the experience of my previous life with me, I had a much clearer sense of what I wanted from college this time. I focused on coursework, maintaining the top GPA in my program, while also participating in research projects outside of class. I intentionally built relationships with prominent professors and mentors, steadily growing my network.All of it served a purpose. It smoothed my path in academia and laid the groundwork for whatever I chose to pursue afterward.By the end of the semester, I ranked first in my major with ease and even secured a research scholarship. My name quickly became known within the department.When I went home for the New Year, Lucy invited me for a shopping trip and dropped a bombshell—Ginger was pregnant.I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.Lucy looked thrilled by my reaction, her expression clearly teasing me for not seeing it coming. She said, "You haven't he

After returning to college, I transitioned smoothly into postgraduate studies. Two years later, I completed two research papers under my advisor's guidance, both of which were successfully published in professional journals in my field.One of the companies that came across my work reached out and invited me to work as a research consultant. They offered a monthly consulting fee of 100 thousand dollars for a single project.That was how I earned my first real pot of gold.That summer, while I was home on break, I went to a class reunion with Lucy. Several years had passed, and once again, I saw Maverick.What shocked me was how much he had aged. His hair was a mess, his skin dull and sallow. His face looked worn, deep lines etched around his mouth and eyes. If anyone told me he was in his thirties, I would have believed them without a doubt.What was even more surprising was that one of his legs was visibly lame. He walked with a noticeable limp, swaying slightly with each step. W
