Chapter 2

But those people didn't know whether the way Kelley stretched my legs was correct or not.

Since we both stuck to our arguments, I suggested checking the surveillance camera.

Kelley panicked and said, "Don't waste time. After all, time is precious."

Yes, the agency charged by the hour, but she had to give me an explanation.

I comforted some of my emotionally unstable classmates because some of their families simply didn't have that much money. I told them that I could teach them what they were learning now.

At first, they didn't believe it, but when I told them my name was Katrina Denard, they were surprised and then quickly nodded in agreement.

I looked at Kelley viciously and said, "We can watch the surveillance now."

Only people from the agency could enter the monitoring room, and Kelley also went in.

I was waiting for the result outside when I inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gaye. The scene of her slandering me on live broadcast in my previous life came to my mind.

I looked at her with disgust. She seemed to notice my gaze and swallowed, avoiding my gaze.

The way she was was completely different from that in my previous life when she calmly spread rumors about me during a live broadcast.

I didn't have much contact with Gaye. I only knew that she worked very hard and practiced day and night, but she did worse than me.

I thought she was also the one who spread the rumor in my previous life that I was a genius and could surpass them without any effort.

But on the contrary, I worked hard. I started learning to dance at the age of five. Not to delay my studies, I had to recite cultural courses while stretching my body.

Thinking about it, I hated Gaye even more.

The door opened with a creak, and when I saw Kelley's smug smile, I knew something was wrong.

As expected, the staff from the agency said, "You were in a blind spot of the surveillance, and some students blocked the view, so we couldn't see where Kelley stepped."

Hearing the explanation, I understood that they were all in the same group and there was no need for me to place my hopes on them.

With a cold snort, I picked up my bag and was about to leave, but then I heard Kelley's voice. "Some people rely on their talent and are arrogant. I wonder what will happen if something unexpected happens."

I rolled my eyes. From what she said, I was sure she would try to trip me up because she wanted her daughter to be the center of attention.

When I got home, my parents seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When they saw the tears in my eyes, they checked me all over and then hugged me tightly.

"You have suffered a lot. But I'm still so proud of you," my mom said.

In my previous life, my parents sold their house and borrowed money from everywhere to treat my legs. Also, they had to endure my bad mood.

Overwhelmed by sadness in my previous life, I didn't even realize that they had gray hair and looked like they were in their sixties even though they were just in their forties.

In my previous life, they spent a lot of money to get me into one of the best dance institutions. But I didn't expect that this would cost the lives of my whole family.

I leaned on my mother's shoulder, tears welling up in my eyes and soaking my clothes. I knew that our family of three had been reborn.

After calming down, we sat in the living room. My mother said that in my previous life, after I died, they went to Kelley, but Kelley cried in the live broadcast and even captured my parents' faces. My father died of a heart attack because of the harassing messages those people sent on their mobile phones. My mother couldn't bear it when she was left alone, so she...
