Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1281

Returning to her room, Mira packed her bag for school the next day. Then, she fired up her newly purchased laptop and checked the stock market.

Finally equipped with both capital and a computer, she could officially start trading.

Just then, her foster parents from the remote countryside called. "Minnie, how are things over there? Are they treating you well?"

It was the voice of her foster mother, Sarah Creed.

"I'm doing great, Mom."

She didn't want her foster parents to worry. Even if things were bad, they wouldn't be able to help, and it would only add to their distress.

"That's good. Try to get along with your parents. If things get tough, just come back home. We might not have much, but we get by. Once you finish college, you'll have a bright future ahead of you."

See, these were true parents—no ulterior motives, only wanting what was best for their children.

"I know, Mom. You and Dad take care of yourselves. Once I'm settled here, I'll bring you both over."

Early the next morning, Mira took the car Ethan had given her to school. Meanwhile, Mara hadn't gotten her new car yet, so she was forced to ride in the family vehicle with a dark scowl on her face.

As they reached the school gates, someone pointed at Mira and asked Mara, "Who is she? Why did she come to school with you?"

"She's my twin sister, just brought back from the countryside. Yesterday, she threw a fit demanding my parents buy her a car.

With no other choice, Ethan gave her his."

The classmate next to them gasped. "She's that greedy? Aren't country kids supposed to be frugal?"

Mara sighed helplessly. "I don't know. Maybe she's just afraid people will look down on her."

"If you want people to respect you, you need substance and ability. Does she really think dressing up in designer clothes and driving luxury cars will earn her respect?"

"Country bumpkins really have no class."

That applied to everyone.

The grudges of her first life had been avenged in her second, and the debts of gratitude from her first life had also been repaid.

Therefore, in this life, she was starting with a clean slate.

Ms. Crowe continued her lecture as usual, but when she reached a particularly difficult reading comprehension question, she called on Mira.

"Mira, one of the three options below is incorrect. Please identify it."

Everyone knew Mira came from the countryside, where the quality of education was miles behind that of Melvion City.

Not to mention they were at Melvion Central High School, a hub for top-tier students.

Yet, Ms. Crowe had deliberately picked a highly challenging question for Mira. If anyone claimed she wasn't doing this on purpose, who would believe them?
