I’m keeping attitude,Sadie said flatly

As she heard those words, everything she’d wanted to saythe frustration she’d bottled upjust dissolved

It felt pointless

She used to cry, to explain herself over and over again. But no one ever truly listened

She wasn’t going to spend this life riding an emotional roller coaster for the sake of her brothers

No more explanations. No more trying to win them over

Silently, she began gathering the textbooks off the coffee table, tucking them one by one into her bag

She looked down at the neatly packed bag and said softly, If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my room.” 

Jeremy sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples, looking like he had a headache. Sadie, if you’re willing to rejoin the team, we’ll let the past go.” 

Sadie almost laughed

The things she had done in her previous life? What a joke

Without even turning around, she walked upstairs. Every step was steady and sure

Frustrated, Jeremy lit a cigarette

The butler walked over quietly. Mr. Douglas, if Ms. Douglas doesn’t want to join, let it be. At least we still have Ms. Houston.” 

Jeremy frowned. It’s not the same.” 

The butler hesitated, then said, Forgive me for speaking out of turn, butnone of you have been home these past few days. And since Ms. Douglas returned, she hasn’t asked about you even once. She’scold. So cold, it’s hard to watch.” 

Jeremy didn’t respond. He stubbed out his cigarette and left the house, driving offprobably back to the training camp

Upstairs, Sadie had heard the car pull away

She stood by the window and watched him leave

Off to train again, I guess.‘ 

She took a shower, then sat back down to review her mistake journal one more time

She needed to work hardershe needed to leave this place

Before she knew it, the sky had lightened. She’d accidentally stayed up all night

Panicked, she stuffed everything into her bag, grabbed a sandwich from the dining room, and rushed out the door

Jeremy was the first to come downstairs

He caught a glimpse of her retreating figure and frowned. She’s up this early?” 

A housekeeper replied, Ms. Douglas has been taking the bus to school on her own all week. Ever since Mondaywhen Ms. Houston was

talking with you about the team and made you all a little lateMs. Douglas’s refused to ride with the driver.” 

Jeremy’s expression grew complicated

Malik came downstairs and scoffed. Seriously? All this because she was almost late? So dramatic. Who is she trying to impress?” 

Rhett yawned. Jeremy, she’s just trying to guilttrip you. You cave now, and next time she’ll push even harder.” 

Jeremy didn’t say anything

Truth was, he felt like Sadie did need to be taught a lesson. They’d given her plenty of chancesshe was the one who didn’t appreciate them

Not far away, Lorena had heard every word. A glint of satisfaction flickered in her eyes

She bounced downstairs, full of cheer. Jeremy, Malik, Rhettmorning! Let’s have breakfast together!” 

Seeing her bright and bubbly demeanor lifted Jeremy’s mood

At least one little sister doesn’t go off track,he thought

At school, Sadie struggled to stay awake. She’d been up all night studying

But during class, she was laserfocused, afraid of missing even a single concept

During class, the teacher suddenly called on Lorena to answer

question. She stumbled over her words for a while but couldn’t give a clear answer

The teacher let out a sigh. Lorena, you’ve been distracted lately. You haven’t grasped the material we’ve been reviewingthis is going to hurt you on the exam.” 

Lorena blushed and lowered her head. Sorry. It won’t happen again.” 

One of her little followers quickly chimed in. Sadie’s been studying really hard latelyshe probably knows the answer!”
