Chapter 62 - Reputation Hits Rock Bottom

When Ayami returned back to her room, she quickly searched for her phone. She didn't dare open the lights as she might get caught.

Really, why does she have to sneak around?

After searching for a few minutes, she found it buried under a drawer that was overturned. There was a large crack on the screen looking like a spiderweb. Luckily, it could still be turned on. To think her phone was still alive…

Ayami first checked the time. On the cracked screen, the time shown was [12:14 AM]. Underneath the time, the date was shown. Ayami widened her eyes in disbelief, then she rubbed her eyes and still saw that it was the same. [February 26].

Ayami was stunned, it wasn't the same date when she regressed for the first time. In fact, it was twice the days she spent on the last round. Could it be a coincidence?

Like hell it was!

Ayami firmly believed that there was no such thing as coincidence in this world, as such she concluded that there must be a reason why she woke up at this time.

Although she didn't know why she was given a third chance, she'll take this chance and won't repeat the same mistakes again. 

Unlike when she first regressed, she didn't panic. Her expression was calm like a sea, but inside was a raging storm.

Ayami put away the phone and looked at the mess inside her room. She tried to remember what happened at this time, but it was difficult to remember as it happened a long time ago. Adding to that, she was already slowly starting to go crazy at that time.

Wait… Wouldn't that mean she already met with Yanna and was already ruining her own reputation at this time?

Ayami cursed out loud and turned on her phone in a hurry. She started browsing the recent articles rapidly. She quickly scanned the recent events. As she did so, her expression darkened each time she read an article. 

Ayami finally remembered what happened. On this day, she bullied Yanna along with her entourage, then suddenly, Cole popped out of nowhere and reversed the situation. 

All the articles were related to her, there were even some criticizing her behavior. There were even some comments that she was an embarrassment to her family.

Obviously, that bastard was also involved in this. Many people would want to get in his good books, and he too, also added fuel to the fire. 

In a single night, her reputation hit rock bottom.

That made her unhappy, but what can she do? His beloved lover was insulted, with his pride so high like a mountain, there is no way he would let it slide.

Her plans were ruined and she would have to make another.

Ayami wanted to return back before she even met Yanna, but she couldn't really choose, could she? She was already lucky enough that she could start another life. 

Ayami sighed, she could easily deal with these matters if she goes back to her maternal grandfather's care, but she was really uncomfortable in returning. Even so, something trivial as this wouldn't really affect her. She could just work her image back again. If the worst comes to worst, she would use them as a final resort.

Thinking about it, Yanna also knows the future. Ayami wanted to talk to her, but she was not in a hurry to do so. Wait, Now that she thought about it, it would be difficult to approach Yanna as there would be someone who suddenly pops out and protects her. 

Ayami swayed to the side as she felt dizzy. She held onto her head and felt it was slightly warmer than her usual temperature. She momentarily forgot that she was sick. 

Ayami frowned as she knew what the cause of her high fever was. At that time, after being humiliated, Ayami couldn't bear it and ran outside the venue while it was raining heavily. She walked home while she was being soaked in rain. When Ayami got home, she was dead tired and drenched like a wet kitten. Then she dashed to her room and slammed the door. Behind the closed doors, a terrible mess happened.

So, the culprit behind this mess was her…

Ayami didn't dwell on it much longer and stood up. Her temperature was rising up again and that was not good. And so, she went back to her bed and slept like a log.

By the time she woke up the next morning, she was feeling better. A good night's rest was all she needed. Furthermore, her room was already clean and the broken objects were replaced, as if her room weren't wrecked in the first place.

Standing by the door, Marie was staring right at her which startled her. Ayami was wondering what she was even doing there staring at her young miss. 

Marie was quietly observing her, no particular expression could be seen on her face. Marie narrowed her eyes into slits, then she shook her head. It was as if something was bugging her.

Ayami had no idea what she was thinking right now, so she asked her bluntly. "What's the matter?"

"You are oddly calm today, young miss. Usually, you would be making a fuss." Marie thought that there was someone impersonating her young miss, but that was impossible.

"Would you rather I make a fuss?" Ayami asked her unhappily. Marie quickly shook her head and answered 'No'.

Ayami wasn't emotional this time and didn't act like a crazy person now that she knew that this was real.

"By the way, what did my parents say in this? And what happened after I left last night?" 

Ayami roughly remembers her parents' reaction to this. They didn't get angry at her nor scold her. Although to them, it just happened last night, to Ayami, it was already years ago.

Marie only answered her first question. "The master and madam didn't say anything." She deliberately did not answer her second question.. Ayami didn't probe any further as she already knew what had happened.
