Three Systems Made the Fake Heiress Unstoppable

After waking up, Chloe York fell asleep again just a short while later. This time, she didn’t dream.

She slept soundly until dawn. The moment she woke up, she received a call from Stella Winters.

"Hello!"

"Chloe, don’t tell me you just woke up!" Stella Winters’s voice was filled with surprise.

After all, she remembered Chloe York being an early riser back in their school days.

"Yeah!" Chloe York shifted into a more comfortable position, lying on her stomach. ’I’ve been feeling a bit tired these past few days and have started enjoying sleeping in. Ironically, the one who used to love sleeping in isn’t doing it anymore.’

"Well, alright then. You must be tired, so get some good rest. Nothing wrong with sleeping in a bit."

"Chloe, they’re planning a class get-together. Are you going?"

"I’m not going." ’I’ve only been here for a few months. Aside from Stella Winters, I don’t have any connection to the other students in this class. Besides, the original owner of this body in the book didn’t have any feelings for them either. According to the plot, they’re the type to kick Chloe York when she’s down. They’d do nothing but mock her misfortune.’

"I don’t think you have a choice. I bet Mr. Parker will definitely try to persuade you to go. After all, you’re the top scorer in the college entrance exams. There’s no way he’d let you be absent," Stella Winters said, sharing her guess.

The top scorer! The class produced the top scorer; how could they possibly not invite the top scorer to the reunion? Eating with the top scorer—what a status boost that would be!

Hearing Stella Winters’s words, Chloe York thought it was a real possibility, and her head immediately started to ache.

’In my past life, when I was the top scorer, I didn’t want to attend the class reunion either. The teacher kept persuading me until I had no choice but to go. But that party was truly unpleasant.’

’I had no idea my classmates resented me so much, or that so many of them were jealous of me. That party ended on a very sour note.’

’So after that, whether it was for work or anything else, I never attended those kinds of gatherings again. I spent most of my time improving myself and focusing on my work.’

"Let’s wait and see if he tries to persuade me. If he doesn’t, I won’t go. If he does... I’ll think about it." Chloe York didn’t give a definite answer, because she wasn’t sure she could come up with a good enough reason to refuse.

"Okay. Anyway, if you decide to go, just let me know, and I’ll go too. If you don’t, then I won’t either. I’m heading abroad in a couple of days anyway, so I probably won’t be in touch with any of these classmates again. I’ll just follow your lead."

"Okay!"

Hanging up, Chloe York let out a long breath. ’Handling these kinds of social situations is my weakest point. I find a lot of social interactions awkward. Thank goodness I have Stella Winters with me.’

On the other side, Brooke York also saw the message in the group chat and learned about the class reunion.

"A reunion? Hah. I bet they just want to see me make a fool of myself."

Brooke York had no intention of going either. Just as she put her phone down, it rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

After a moment’s thought, Brooke York answered. But she didn’t say anything, waiting for the other person to speak first.

"Brooke?"

The voice made it clear to Brooke York who was calling: the class president, Henry Ford.

"Class President, why are you calling me?" Brooke York was puzzled. ’I’ve barely ever interacted with the class president, Henry Ford. What’s more, after I falsely accused him of being with Chloe York, he even retorted back at me. And now he’s actually calling me?’

"I saw you didn’t reply in the group chat, so I wanted to ask if you’re coming to the reunion," Henry Ford asked directly.

She hadn’t expected it to be about this. Brooke York thought for a moment and said, "I have something on that day, so I won’t be able to make it."

"We’ve been classmates for a year. I think you should come. After all, we’ll have fewer chances to see each other in the future. It’s fate that brought us together." Henry Ford didn’t give up just because she said no; instead, he continued to persuade her.

’This really isn’t Henry Ford’s usual style,’ Brooke York thought. ’But then again, he’s the class president. Maybe he just wants the whole class to be there for the gathering.’ That made it seem normal again.

"Class President, it’s not that I’m deliberately skipping it. I really do have something to do!"

"Chloe is going too. If you don’t go, people might get the wrong idea." Henry Ford didn’t spell it out, but Brooke York understood immediately.

’If I don’t go, the classmates will think I’m scared, that I don’t dare to show my face.’

"Fine, I’ll go."

"Great! Tomorrow night, The Solara Restaurant." With that, Henry Ford hung up.

His last sentence was tinged with delight, but Brooke York didn’t notice it at the time.

After hanging up, Brooke York realized she had just agreed to attend the reunion and was instantly filled with regret, annoyed at herself for not holding her ground a little longer.

Belatedly, she realized she had just been provoked by Henry Ford.

’It’s one thing for them to mock me behind my back. But if I go, won’t that just let them mock me to my face? And compare me to Chloe York?’

The more Brooke York thought about it, the more she regretted it. She wished she could call Henry Ford right back and tell him she wasn’t coming.

Meanwhile, Henry Ford was overjoyed that he had successfully persuaded Brooke York to come to the reunion.

’What’s the point of a reunion without Brooke York and Chloe York?’

As for Chloe York not going, someone would naturally persuade her.

Just as Stella Winters had predicted, Mr. Parker did indeed call Chloe York.

"Chloe, you’re our class’s top scorer in the college entrance exams. How can you not attend the reunion? The other students will be so disappointed," Mr. Parker said in a persuasive tone.

’To an outsider, it might seem like I’ve spent three years with these classmates. But neither I nor the original owner of this body ever really socialized with them!’

’I really can’t find any reason to attend a reunion. We were just classmates in the same class. I’ve barely spoken a few words to most of them. It’s completely unnecessary.’

"Chloe, you’re the top scorer now. If you don’t attend this kind of class reunion, it won’t reflect well on you if word gets out!"

Mr. Parker’s words made Chloe York hesitate. ’He’s right. I’m the top scorer. If I don’t go, people might say that I’ve become arrogant and look down on my classmates now that I’ve succeeded.’

’While I shouldn’t have to care about such talk, public opinion online can’t be underestimated sometimes.’

’No matter what, I’m using "Chloe York’s" body now, so I have to be responsible for her reputation. If this were before she became famous, it wouldn’t matter, but now...’

"Alright, I’ll be there tomorrow night."

Hearing Chloe York agree, Mr. Parker was satisfied. After hanging up, Chloe York sighed and flopped onto her bed.

"This is so hard!!!"

After spending the next day lazing around in defeat, Chloe York resigned herself to her fate and headed to the reunion that evening.

When she arrived, about half the class was already there. Just as she expected, everyone was incredibly enthusiastic to see her, all of them calling her "Top Scorer." She’d practically lost her real name.
