Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 3

One time, they were doing homework at home. Mara was stuck on a math problem, but Mira was busy researching something and asked her to wait a moment.

Unexpectedly, Mara went to Ethan, who was working from home, with tears in her eyes and her workbook in hand.-

She made it look as if Mira had bullied her.

It earned Mira a lecture from Ethan.

She also noticed her sister occasionally giving her strange looks.

Later, Mira finally understood what that look was: jealousy.

Mara couldn't keep up in school, but Mira was a straight-A student.

Although they were twins, their different upbringings made them seem worlds apart in their classmates' eyes.

No matter how expensive Mara's clothes were or how exquisite her jewelry, if she stood next to Mira in her casual clothes, Mira would always be the one who shone brightest.

The confidence and grace she had cultivated over the years were simply incomparable.

What followed was an escalating series of manipulative games and self-pitying ploys.

In front of everyone, Mara always acted obedient, sweet, and pitifully fragile.

The result was that her four brothers and parents couldn't stop talking about Mara.

In just two short months, Mira's reputation in Melvion City had been tarnished. She was now known as spoiled, willful, and even malicious.

Having been treated like a princess her whole life, always the apple of her family's eye, Mira was naturally upset to see her brothers' attention diverted.

She did many things to try and win back their focus.

But she could swear on her life that she had never, ever done anything to harm Mara.

The so-called 'pushing her down the stairs' was nothing more than a carefully orchestrated self-harm ploy Mara cooked up right before the welcome party.

Scene after scene from the past flashed through Mira's mind like a movie.

Returning to the present, Mira made an instant decision.
