The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 2

Seeing Caleb, Nova's face turned pale.

Caleb Langdon!

He was exactly the same as before, always the center of attention no matter where he went.

Who could have ever guessed that this golden boy was actually a hypocritical, selfish monster down to his very core?

Thinking of her children who had been murdered by him in her previous life, Nova clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

Alright, Caleb. In this life, I'm going to destroy you.

Clearly, Caleb had overheard the girls gossiping. He frowned in irritation, turned on his heel, and walked away.

"Don't say that about her. Nova isn't like that."

Sylvie sounded genuinely upset on her behalf.

Seeing Sylvie standing in front of her, the memories of her past life hit Nova like a freight train.

In her past life, because she had gained weight during high school, Nova had become incredibly insecure and timid. She was constantly judged by her peers, and Sylvie had been the only one who pretended to be her friend, always defending her in front of the others.

With her innocent looks and sweet demeanor, Sylvie was extremely popular. People naturally gravitated toward her the moment they saw her.

Back then, Nova genuinely believed Sylvie was just a kindhearted person. She hadn't realized that it was all a calculated manipulation for Sylvie to get closer to Caleb.

And the only reason Sylvie had chosen to befriend her was because Nova was Caleb's childhood sweetheart.

In her past life, Sylvie had used the school as her personal stage to play the gentle, kindhearted angel, and Nova was nothing but a stepping stone to build that reputation.

Right on cue, Sylvie played her role perfectly. She placed a comforting hand over Nova's and asked softly, "Nova, did you come to the pool because you're trying to lose weight?"

"Come on, Sylvie, let's go. Who cares if she swims or not?"

A few girls stepped forward, ready to pull Sylvie away from her.

Nova coldly watched the girls rally around Sylvie. The reason Sylvie was so wildly popular at school wasn't just because of her looks, her personality, or her flawless grades—it was also because of her supposed background.

Lindenwood Preparatory Academy was the most exclusive private high school in the city. The students here were the heirs and heiresses of powerful, wealthy families. Because her last name was Sutton, everyone naturally assumed she was the heiress of The Sutton Family, the biggest real estate moguls in Lindenwood.

But what they didn't know was that Sylvie wasn't a Sutton heiress at all! She was merely the daughter of the Sutton family's chauffeur.

It was only much later in her past life that Nova accidentally discovered the true Sutton heiress was someone else entirely. Sylvie had simply used her good grades and her father's connections to take the real heiress's spot at the academy.

The actual Sutton heiress was already studying abroad. Nova distinctly remembered her name: Penelope Sutton.

Without warning, Nova stepped forward and grabbed Sylvie's hand, looking utterly guilt-stricken. "Penelope, I'm so sorry. I was just in a bad mood just now."
