After Learning Their Lesson they regretted it Chapter 4
  1. 4

Brittany sees me and visibly shudders, like 

she’s seen a ghost

Finally, she musters up the courage to reach 

out her hand

Ashley, let’s bury the hatchet!” 

I stand there, stunned

I never argued with her, what is there to 

forgive

Five years ago, I was a college freshman

Like always, every time I entered a new place

I declared my ownership over Carter Hayes

Carter was my fiancé, and I loved him fiercely

plus, being Ashley Landry, the spoiled rich 

girl, I didn’t tolerate any girl looking at him 

twice

Brittany was one of them

Dillany was one of them

Brittany grew up in an orphanage, but 

somehow, she always managed to catch 

Carter’s eye, and he couldn’t help but pay 

attention

Even my brother, who always took my side

turned against me

I confronted her once

After that, Brittany was tormented by bullies

Everyone said that I was behind it

By the end of the semester, Brittany couldn’t 

take it anymore and jumped from the roof of 

the school

She was rescued unharmed, but she left

She was rescued, unharmed, but she left

note

It was full of accusations against me

Nobody believed me

Carter broke up with me

I thought it was the worst thing that could 

happen to me

Then, I found out I wasn’t a Landry after all

Brittany was the real daughter

And my real parents

No one would tell me

I fell from grace in the blink of an eye

The people who had raised me sent me to

mental hospital

I don’t want the family to worry, whatever 

you did, I don’t care.” 

If you don’t make Mom and Dad mad, I can 

treat you like a sister!” 

Brittany smiles, all sweetness and 

forgiveness

Anyone would praise her for her kindness and 

generosity

Dad nods in agreement

That’s right if you change you can be

That’s right, if you change, you can be

Landry again!” 

Chad frowns at me

I only forgave you because Brittany wanted 

me to

Thank Brittany now, and if you bully her 

again, I won’t forgive you!” 

Five years ago, I would have defended myself

I didn’t bully Brittany, she did it all herself

But now, I’m not going to humiliate myself by 

explaining things to people who don’t care

I’m sorry, I just wanted to get my ID back” 

They all glare at me

They think I’m ungrateful

Why do you make a fuss about this small 

thing

If you’re so childish, do you want to go back 

to the hospital?” 

We raised you, why can’t you be nice like 

Brittany, why can’t you be a better daughter?” 

Mom seems agitated

I don’t know why she’s so upset

But I’m not your daughter anymore!” 

Is it not normal for me to get my ID and 

leave

Mom freezes

She lets go of me, looks at me

It’s like she doesn’t recognize me
