Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self

Chapter 51 No More Distancing.
Fanny’s eyes brightened as she gently tugged on Scarlet’s sleeve. “Mom, I also want to study. abroad.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the host on stage announced the name of the first prize winner.
It was Jessica.
Jessica remained composed under pressure, managing to lighten the mood with an impromptu Brundelian joke, showcasing her
exceptional skills. Not only was her everyday. performance impressive, but her public speaking skills were outstanding as well.
The applause from the audience was thunderous. Jessica stood up happily, accompanied by at middle–aged man who bore a
resemblance to her, radiating with pride.
The disappointment on Fanny’s face was evident, but a hint of confusion flickered in her heart.
Where was Angela? Was she still with Jonathan?
She had met him with Christopher before. Wasn’t he usually distant? Why did he repeatedly help Angela?
He must have supported Angela today, which resulted in Stella’s dismissal.
Fanny bit her lip. If such a powerful person was on her side, she would have definitely won the first prize in this competition.
The host continued to announce the winners, but even after the third prize was announced, Fanny’s name was not mentioned.
Scarlet’s expression also turned sour.
Just for this speech slot, Samuel’s criminal record was about to be exposed, and James had spent $3500. The Kins Family had
invested so much, but they didn’t even win a third prize. It was a complete loss.
Fanny snapped back to reality, her eyes welling up with tears. “How could this happen? Mom, does this mean I don’t have a
chance to go abroad?”
Samuel also found it strange. Fanny was usually a diligent student. How could she not even win a third prize?

“It must be Angela and Jonathan’s doing. Wait for me, Fanny. I’ll go talk to your school leaders. How can they operate in such an
unfair manner?”
The more Scarlet thought about it, the more convinced she became. It must be Angela who was envious of Fand deliberately
sabotaged her. Otherwise, why would they promise a slot and then deny it to Fanny at the last minute? It was just to upset
Fanny.
“Mom, let it go. It’s my fault for not studying hard enough. If we go to the school leaders, and they say I’m not good enough, how
will my classmates look at me?” Fanny covered her eyes
and ran off.
Scarlet was heartbroken and hurried to comfort her, no longer concerned about confronting the school leaders, “Fanny, don’t cry.
You just want to go abroad, right? Can’t Mom afford to send you?”
Watching the two run off, Samuel hesitated for a moment, but instead of following them, he walked towards the judges‘ seats.
Not far away, Angela heard over the loudspeaker that the first prize went to Jessica and smiled.
As she guided Jonathan towards the school gate, she listened to the announcement.
Unexpectedly, in this lifetime, Fanny didn’t even receive a third prize.
She didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t reviewed well or if she had done something before the competition, and her heavy
thoughts led to her poor performance.
Earlier in the office, knowing there were no surveillance cameras and solid evidence, Angela didn’t pursue it further.
Because even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to find out anything.
Just like the laxative that might have been intentionally given to Stella by Fanny, but they had no evidence to directly prove it.
Having suffered a lot from Fanny in secret, Angela knew it wouldn’t be easy to catch her red- handed.

She could only keep her distance from Fanny and the chaotic Kins Family as much as possible.
Fortunately, in this life, she had a new family and friends.
Angela looked down at Jonathan, her eyes filled with admiration. “Jonathan, Sebastian, thank

you so much for today.”
She didn’t want to bother Donald and his family, so she tried calling Sebastian.

Unexpectedly, Sebastian agreed immediately, and even more surprisingly, Jonathan also
came.
If Jonathan hadn’t come, she might have had to endure being beaten today and then find a way to check the surveillance and
call the police afterward.
Sebastian was still furious as he thought about the incident he had witnessed earlier when he entered the office. “Angela, your
school administrators are also to blame. Is their way of handling problems simply allowing people to bully and assault you? They
are exploiting the fact that you have no one to defend you. Are your mother and brother truly your family? It’s fortunate that we
arrived in time. If something like this happens again, you cannot tolerate it. If they won’t support you, I will!”
Angela felt like she must have gotten something in her eyes today. Otherwise, why did she constantly feel like crying?
Her eyes were stinging, but she managed a smile. “Thank you, Sebastian. I appreciate your help today.”
“No problem,” Jonathan responded before Sebastian could.

“Next time, feel free to call me directly.”
Angela was taken aback.
Ever since she last saw Bruce at Jonathan’s house, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was intentionally distancing himself
from her, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Several times when she visited, Sebastian either claimed Jonathan was too busy to see her or wasn’t home. Sometimes, when
Sebastian said Jonathan wasn’t home, she felt like he was lying.
She remembered him telling her not to try so hard to please him. So, she thought she might have been trying too hard to win his
favor recently and decided to keep her feelings to herself, avoiding disturbing him as much as possible.
But now, it seemed as if the barrier between them had faded.
Angela didn’t want to appear overly happy, fearing that Jonathan would think she was trying to please him again. But she
couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. “Alright. Thank you, Jonathan!”

The autumn wind was chilly, but she felt surprisingly warm. She accompanied Jonathan to their car parked outside the school.
“Goodbye, Jonathan, Sebastian. Once I finish my exams and have some free time, I’ll cook something delicious for you guys.”
Angela waved her hand, her voice clear and sweet. Anyone could tell how fond she was of the person she was talking to.
Jonathan got into the car, and as he looked back, he saw her standing under the golden. sycamore tree, waving at him. Her
white shirt and sea–blue jeans seemed to blend with the autumn colors, creating a vibrant and dynamic scene. A strand of her
soft hair fluttered in the wind, brushing against the deep dimples on her face.

The car door closed.
The picturesque view disappeared from his sight, leaving only the obscure and motionless car door.
The car remained silent, with only a faint hum as it began to move.
After a while, Jonathan glanced out the window once again.
“Sebastian, please instruct Oliver to return to the school and bring some ice packs for first aid.”
Sebastian, who was driving, was momentarily surprised but quickly regained his composure and relayed the message to the
bodyguard in the car behind them through the intercom.
The road was peaceful, and Sebastian discreetly observed Jonathan’s expression in the
rearview mirror.
Had Jonathan stopped distancing himself from Angela?
