Madison Locke was wrapped in a towel as she sat dazedly by the pool at the Locke residence in Riverview. For a moment, she couldn’t understand what was happening. Her pretty face was inhen, and she was sopping wet.

She remembered she’d just been in the world of cultivation just a second ago. She’d just killed a Ghost King who had been terrorizing the human world, and her coltivation had Increased tremendously. After that, she’d blinked and shown up bite.

“How could you push Rebecca into the water? She’s your sister Apologize to her quickly!” an elegant–looking woman snapped at Madison with her arm around a young women who was also drenched

At the sight of the woman, Madison suddenly remembered things she’d long forgotten. The woman was her mother, Tanya Sutton.

Madison’s past life hadn’t been a nice one. She’d grown up in an orphanage and had spectral vision, which meant she could see things others couldn’t. The people around her had thought of her as a freak, and nobody had wanted to play with her.

She’d stayed at the orphanage until she was 15 years old and had been forced to get a job instead of attending university

Madison had always thought there was something wrong with her mentally. She’d taken three jobs and worked hard at them so she could save enough money to visit the hospital to cure herself and become anormal person.

Everything had changed when she’d tamed 22 years old that was when the Locke family had found her. Only then did she realize she’d been mistakenly switched at birth. She was actually the daughter of the Locke family–one of Rivendew’s most affluent families.

As someone who’d never once for the love of a family, Madison felt like she’d suddenly hit the jackpot. She felt like she could finally lead the happy that a normal young woman would ham. However, life at the Locke residence wasn’t as she’d imagined

The Locke family had raised another child as their own–Rebecca Locke. Roberea had received the best education mallable for the past two decades and carried herself with elegance and poise. Everyone at the residence, from her parents to the maids, adored her

She and Rebecca were often compared to each other, and Madison was no match for her in every aspect. Under such circumstances, Madison’s attitude changed thoroughly. She’d gone from initially being ingratiating and expectant to eventually becoming resentful and filled with hatred.

Unfortunately, the more trouble she caused, the more she humiliated herself. The same thing had happened on this day.

The Locke family had thrown a welcome party to welcome Madison back to the family Madison had snatched Rebecca’s evening gown so she could wear it, and the other trust fund babies invited to the party had mocked her for it

Unable to handle the jeering and mockery, she and Rebecca had gotten into a fight again. Then, they’d both fallen Into the pool.

The Last scene Madison remembered from her past life was how everyone had been in a panic to save Rebecca. Meanwhile, she’d slowly sank to the bottom of the pool.

As soon as Madison opened her eyes earlier, she realized she’d still been in the pool. After a few seconds, the Locke family’s oldest son, Harvey Locke, had saved her.

As the memories flooded her mind, the resentment and hatred she’d harbored in her past life overwhelmed her. She stood up and asked, “Why should I apologize?

“What do you mean, and why should you apologize? You almost killed Becky! What’s with your attitude?” Tanya looked at Madison with ambeture of anger and disappointment… Rebecca leaned into Tanya’s amus and said weakly, “It’s okay, Mom. I’m sure Madly didn’t do it on purpose. I fell into the pool by accident. Maddy was only trying to save me.” Everyone present had clearly witnessed what had happened, so Rebecca’s words only made the sympathize with her and think about how did she was. At the same time, they

lth Madison was cruel and rude.

“You’re wrong, I did it on purpose.” Madison approached Rebecca, her face devoid of emotion as water dripped from her clothes and hair. She looked like a ghost that had emerged from the water. Then, she said something that stunned the crowd. “I wanted you to die.”

“How could you say something like that, Madison?” Tanya’s expression became steely with anger. She subconsciously shielded Rebecca behind her as if tersified Madison would her Rebecca

A trace of hurt flated past Madison’s eyes when she saw this, but she soon concealed it. “You think I’m cruel, huh? Her mother ruled my life, and she’s stolen everything from my parents, my brothers, and my de! Yes, I’m dur cruel one!

Tanja uël defended Rebecca, saying, “Becky is innocent in this.”

“Innoce? Madison snorted “She’s enjoyed my parents love and my brothers‘ protection for the past two decades. She’s lived a worry–free lite since she was born. How is she

This was something Madison had always wanted to ask.

From the montent she’d stepped foot in the Locke residence, everyone had been telling her to get along with Rebecca and to learn from her. They were terrilled she would bully

At the same time, they were afraid in couldn’t remain at the Locke residence after the truth was revealed, so they’d treated her en better than before. As for Madison, they regarded her coldly to avoid hurting Bebeera’s feelings.

“Am I not innocent in this was bullied and neglected at the orphanage, and i didn’t even have the hare in for survival. Did I deserve that?” Malison asked Tanya didn’t say anything

Madison continued, “I got a university offer what I turned 16 but couldy’t pu ber ause I couldn’t afford the fees is that my fault?

I had to work three jobs a day just to survw, and I only go to sleep four hours a daya that what I deserve?

Her question made silmer descend upon the crowd.

Tallya’s eyes were filled with pain as she said, “I know life has low hard on you, and I want to make it at you. But you can’t blame fecky for any of this – she didn’t ask for this to happen i just want you two to get along”

“Ha You want me to get along with her and not resent her for everything that’s happened?” Madison shook her head mockingly “Da you think I can do that? What an 1, a saint? Do you think I don’t have feelings and waits?

2/2

“Are you my parents and brothers or not? Are you not my family?” Her voice grew louder. “Why are you guys helping someone who isn’t even related to you instead of helping me?

The Lockes couldn’t bring themselves to say anything.

“Why was she the firstone you guys thought to save when we both fell into the pool? Madison asked.

The feeling of almost dying was horrible—the water had flooded her nose, and her breathing had stopped. Her langs had hurt like hell. In that moment, she’d felt tormented and in despair.

“Why did you guys bring me back here if you don’t even love me? I’d rather not have any parents or siblings. I’d rather not know that my own family doesn’t love me at all Tears streamed down Madison’s face as she spoke.

Then, she pushed her way through the people standing before her and ran into the villa. She ran straight to her bedroom and locked the door, blocking the outside world “What’s going on, System Madison asked coldly while wiping her tears. There wasn’t any trace of the disappointment and despair she’d shown while outside.

“Are you cry, Ms Locke? How do you feel?” the system asked.

“I’m flare Tell me what’s going on! Why am 1 back here again?”

The words she had uttered earlier had been buried in her heart for far too long. Now that she’d voiced them, the resentment and hatred she’d bottled up in her past life had disappeared

The system explained, “You were never dead 1only extracted your soul and sent you to a different world.”

Madison understood now. She hadn’t died–the system had merely sent her soul to a world of cultivation so she could learn the mystic arts. Now that she’d learned everything she could she’d been sent back in her original lite

Madison had spent a century in the world of cultivation, but only a few minutes had passed in this world,
