The Man Who Burned Me Alive in My Past Life Was Also Reborn Novel by Fitzgerald Mitchell

The school hunk, Patrick Carroll, was now dating the school belle, Yaritza Hurley.

Patrick was the top-ranked academic genius who always held the number one spot, while Yaritza was the stunning beauty who could rival Helen of Troy.

When their official relationship announcement hit, it sent the entire school into an uproar.

While the whole class buzzed with excitement, I just sat quietly in my seat, immersed in study.

Curious classmates soon gathered around me, asking, “Averie, come on, be honest!

When did your brother start dating Yaritza?!”

Patrick was my brother, at least in name.

When I was six years old, my parents’ company went bankrupt, forcing them to take the desperate route of jumping to their deaths.

Patrick’s father, Dustin Carroll, who had been my father’s business partner for many years, took me in. Since then, I have been living with their family as their daughter, Averie Carroll, in name only.

“I don’t know.”

I responded coldly, my face indifferent.

In my previous life, Dustin asked me whether Patrick was dating a girl, and I remained silent.

Dustin took the hint, quickly contacted Yaritza’s family, and sent Yaritza abroad, putting an abrupt end to their relationship.

From that moment on, Patrick held a grudge against me. On that same day, he sent some thugs to hit me and even conspired to make me miss the most important exam for me.

I could still remember that day vividly, sitting there covered in blood as I looked at him. He sneered arrogantly, his eyes filled with hatred.

“Averie, I hope you’ll know what you should never tell my dad.”

Recalling that scene from my previous life, I felt my breath grow rapidly, and a deep, endless hatred welled up in my chest.

I failed to go to university and couldn’t speak, so I had to make a living washing dishes, relying only on hard labor.

Patrick, on the other hand, managed to fulfill his dream of getting into Harvard University. Riding the wave of the internet boom, he soared to great heights in his career.

Years later, he married a girl from high school who had secretly admired him.

During a media interview, he bluntly stated that his greatest regret in life was losing his first love. This comment left his wife blushing with embarrassment.

Now that given a second chance, I was determined to seize it tightly. I would not allow myself to suffer the same fate as in my previous life.

I would go to Harvard University.

And I would live a life without regrets.

“Averie, keep your mouth shut, or you’ll know what to face.”

During the break between classes, Patrick leaned over from the desk in front of me and whispered in a threatening tone.

We were both students in the elite class in the top school, but while he had earned his place through his own abilities, I had only made it there thanks to Dustin’s help.

Some classmates even whispered behind my back, “She doesn’t as smart as Patrick. Must be because they’re not actually related by blood.”

Patrick was the undefeated number one in our grade.

However, since our rebirth, he had not been the same studious person he was in our past lives. Back then, he had focused entirely on dating and studying.

But now, his exam papers were left blank, he could not be bothered to take notes, and he hardly paid attention during class. When it came to exams, he just scribbled answers randomly.

Patrick spent his time in class texting Yaritza, or browsing pages and other apps, searching for topics like “How to comfort an angry girlfriend” and “How to take care of your girlfriend during her period.”

In the past, he would keep asking teachers the moment the class ended, but now, as soon as the bell rang, he would dash off to the bottom-ranked class to find Yaritza.

His weekends, once packed with various hobby classes, were now completely spent with her.

It seemed that he had become obsessed with his appearance to match Yaritza.

Despite the packed schedule of high school, he got up half an hour earlier every day just to style his hair. He sprayed cologne on his uniform inside and out and made sure his sneakers were spotless.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Patrick even asked Yaritza for a small mirror. Every time the class was about to end, he would check his reflection from every angle, ensuring he presented the most perfect version of himself to his precious girlfriend.
