“I tried to talk to you about it before. I told you not to trust Penelope, but you just wouldn’t believe me.”
As Juliet spoke, the frustration in her voice reached its breaking point. The tears she’d been holding back finally spilled down her cheeks.
Anastasia closed her eyes for a moment.
Now she remembered—this had happened in her previous life, too. Juliet had tried to warn her, not just once, but several times. But back then, Anastasia had put all her trust in Nora and her mother. Under their constant manipulation, she’d shut out everyone from her grandfather’s side of the family, Juliet included. How could she have ever believed her cousin?
A whole year had passed. She’d known Juliet was studying at Kingsbridge University as well, yet she’d never even reached out.
“How long has Sandra and her friends been picking on you?” Anastasia took a steadying breath, her voice icy.
Juliet hesitated, glancing at her nervously, but didn't answer.
Anastasia could guess from her reaction.
From what she’d overheard from Sandra earlier, and now from Juliet’s confession, it probably started last semester. This was clearly not the first time.
Anastasia clenched her fist at her side, digging her nails into her palm. Suddenly, a memory surfaced from her previous life—something she’d learned by chance.
Juliet was a year younger; they shouldn’t have been in the same grade. She’d skipped a year just to catch up to Anastasia, then worked hard to get into Kingsbridge University, all because of her. She’d done so much, yet never managed to get close.
A wave of guilt, regret, and shame crashed over Anastasia, threatening to drown her.
She almost hated her old self—how could she have been so blind?
“It’s okay, I’ll clear your name. And I’ll make sure Sandra apologizes to you.” Anastasia gently straightened Juliet’s damp, tangled hair. Her voice softened. “Come on. Let’s go buy you some clean clothes.”
Juliet’s head shot up, her eyes wide in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe it. Was her cousin really being this kind, this patient? Hadn’t Anastasia always disliked her?
