Reborn: The Lady Dominates

Kit's father, a relentless alcoholic, often subjected her and her mother, Mary, to bouts of violence and verbal abuse. The constant poverty and daily torment became unbearable for Mary, leading her to seduce John, Anna's father, and secure a place in his affluent household. Anna, fiercely opposed to her father's remarriage, harbored a deep resentment towards Kit and Mary. In a bid to drive them out, she perfected the art of playing the innocent in front of her father. With calculated precision, Anna would slander and scheme against Kit and Mary, weaving lies and deceit, hoping to poison her father's mind and prompt him to divorce Mary.

Chapter 4: Favoritism

### Chapter 4: Favoritism

**Class A**

Anna had just returned from the school clinic and taken her seat.

Georgia leaned in, whispering gossip, "Hey, Anna! Did you know that the girl who hurt you this morning got placed in Class F?" She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed.

"Really? You mean that new transfer student who looks really pretty?" Georgia's deskmate chimed in, full of curiosity.

Hearing this, others joined the conversation, all intrigued by the new transfer student, since she was indeed very attractive.

"What's the big deal about being pretty? She just looks like a seductive fox. It's just her face," Georgia said dismissively.

"How so?" Everyone, especially the girls, seemed excited to hear more, especially since the new girl was beautiful.

"She's a repeat student from Qijiang Village, with poor grades and a penchant for fighting," Georgia shook her head. "You all know Qijiang Village, the poorest village in the country."

After hearing this, the excitement died down, and no one was interested in the new transfer student anymore.

Anna felt secretly relieved but pretended to defend Kit, "I knew she'd end up in Class F. Dad originally arranged for us to be together, but her grades are so bad that the school had no choice but to put her in Class F. It's my fault for not helping her with her studies beforehand."

"Ah! She's your sister!" Georgia exclaimed exaggeratedly. "How can your grades be so different if you're sisters?"

"We...we're not biological sisters. She's my mom's daughter from before and was recently found," Anna explained gently.

"No wonder her grades are so bad. A wild girl from the mountains can't compare to you, Anna," Georgia said, hugging Anna's arm flatteringly.

After hearing this, everyone lost any good impression they might have had of Kit.

**Class F**

Hearing her phone beep, Kit checked it. 

With two classes left before school ended, Kit didn't care and picked up her backpack, heading out.

**At the John's Residence**

"Miss Kit, why are you back? It's not dismissal time yet," Flo said as she opened the door, her eyes revealing a strict and scrutinizing look.

"Move," Kit replied curtly, not even sparing her a glance.

Her eyes were not just black and white; faint red veins intertwined within, giving her cold gaze a rebellious and strange aura.

Flo felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively stepped aside to let her in.

Kit went straight upstairs to her room but paused outside Mary's room, overhearing her conversation with Freda. Mary's voice carried a tone of grievance and irritation, "What could I do? Her father passed away, and there was no one else to take care of her. I had to bring her back."

Freda's voice was harsh, "I was against you marrying into our family from the start. If Anna hadn't liked you, crying for you back then, you wouldn't have stayed."

Mary recalled the soft, doll-like Anna, who was like a soulless doll without her mother's care. Because Mary had taken care of her for a long time and used a few tricks, Anna became completely dependent on her. Her voice softened involuntarily, "Mom, I know. I've always kept my promise to take good care of Anna. Nothing will change just because Kit is here."

Mary admitted to herself that she favored Anna. Anna had always been smart, quick to learn, and excelled at everything, making her proud. John had also said he would only have one child, Anna. Mary knew she had to please Anna; otherwise, her own life wouldn't be easy. She had poured all her efforts into Anna, which was why Anna was always so outstanding.

Outside the door, Kit's eyes darkened, her eyes tinged with red. She clenched her fists, her smile a mix of coldness and a nearly explosive wickedness. Her smile came naturally, carrying a hint of detachment, yet a deeply hidden evil aura was almost about to erupt.
