Chapter 3: First Encounter with a Scum
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sky gradually turned dark. Kimberly, who had been strolling around for the whole day, returned home. However, she did not expect to see her parents sitting on the sofa and Keith busying himself on the side the moment she opened the door.
That familiar yet hateful face almost made her want to vomit in an instant. However, nothing had happened at the moment. She only had her memories from her past life, there was no evidence at all.
Kimberly told herself that the most important thing now was to be pretentious. Anyway, her father was not in a coma and her mother was healthy. Keith was still that poor boy who had nothing.
“Dad, Mom, why didn’t you tell me that someone came to the house?” Kimberly sat at the side and refused the tea that Keith poured for her. Instead, she called out to Aunt Liz, “Aunt Liz, help me get a cup of tea. It’s better if you brew it for me.”
“Aiya, Kimberly, you’re such a troublesome child.” Her mother comforted her father, who was frowning, and said to Keith, “This child is spoiled by us. You won’t mind, right?”
“Of course not, Kimberly is genuine and trustworthy. I like her very much.” He smiled shyly, revealing his dimples.
Kimberly wanted to warn her parents that the tea he poured was poisonous. But after thinking about it, it had not happened yet, so if she said it now, it would only make her parents feel that she was not sensible. After being angry with herself for some time, she could only say, “I’m hungry.”
Aunt Liz had just come out of the kitchen with a teapot. “Miss, are you hungry? Dinner is ready. Coincidentally, everyone was waiting for you just now.”
“Alright, let’s eat first.” Kimberly’s father nodded at Keith and sat on the main seat.
At the dining table, everyone abided by the rule of eating without talking, and even pinching the food rarely happened. From the moment Kimberly returned home, she was finally relieved. She hastily ate a few mouthfuls and planned to escape to her room to avoid this situation.
“Kimberly.” Her mother stopped her. “Follow me to the study. I have something to tell you.”
She could only follow reluctantly. “Mom, why do you have to tell me now?”
Her mother rolled her eyes at her, wishing that she was not a good-for-nothing. “It’s your marriage. Don’t play dumb with me.”
“What’s wrong with Keith? He’s filial to us and he’s a good-looking person. Although he’s in the entertainment industry now, we can ask him to quit in the future. Besides, what’s wrong with young couple quarrelling? They’ll make up eventually.”
Kimberly couldn’t tell her mother about what happened in her past life, so she could only try to avoid it.
“I won’t allow you to do this again today.” Her mother raised her eyebrows and said angrily, “You have to give me your word today. Don’t you girls like to look at faces? Now that we have money at home, I want to find you a satisfactory one.”
“I…I…” Kimberly made up her mind. She closed her eyes and apologized in her heart. She clenched her teeth and told her mother, “Actually… actually…”
“Actually?”
“Actually, I have someone I like.”
“Ah?” Her mother covered her mouth to hide her surprise and asked, “You never said that before.”
“It’s…it’s…” It had been a long time since she had lied, and it made her blush. However, her mother just happened to interprete it as she was shy, and her skeptical attitude turned into a half-believing half-doubting one.
“His name is James Perkins.Though he’s not a very popular celebrity, I like him very much.” Kimberly continued shyly because she was lying. “Anyway… anyway, I don’t like Keith.”
“James Perkins? Who is this? I’ve never heard of him.” Her mother took out her phone and checked on this person, there were only a few scattered photos. “He looks much more righteous than Keith, but you’re not trying to bluff me just so that you won’t try it out with Keith, right?”
“How is that possible?” Kimberly realized that things had taken a turn for the better and immediately went up to the challenge. “I really like him. That…That’s why I went out today hoping to meet him by chance?”

Kimberly closed her eyes and agreed, “Yes!” But in her heart, she had already apologized countless times. She even wondered if she should spend some money to make James Perkins a little more popular.
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? I heard that he was tricked by someone from the company to go on a blind date with a woman today. I rushed over immediately and even helped him out. if you don’t believe , then go and look at the surveillance cameras.”
Her mother finally believed her. She went downstairs in a trance to discuss the situation with her husband. She could only apologize to Keith.
