Reborn with Bipolar Disorder: The Real Heiress Takes Back Everything

The next day, Dad flew overseas for business. I checked myself out of the hospital alone and went back to the estate.

I barely stepped through the door when Linda grabbed me at the edge of the ground-floor pool.

The challenge in her eyes wasn't even hidden:

"Guess. If we both fall in, who do you think they'd save?"

I looked at the pool, three meters deep, and a chill moved through me.

In my previous life, she pushed me in. I nearly drowned, saved at the last second by a maid coming out to use the bathroom. I was left with fluid in my lungs and a cough that never went away.

Not this time.

She shoved me into the pool with everything she had. I dove straight to the bottom and swam to the far end underwater.

Linda was expecting to watch me thrash. One blink, and I was gone.

She craned her neck over the edge to look, and slipped right in, because I'd smeared the pool edge with lubricant beforehand.

I lay on the tile and watched her flail. What an idiot. I'd learned to swim.

Then Jason came sprinting from the side, screaming her name, desperate to get her out.

I narrowed my eyes. So it was a setup from the start.

It took them ten full minutes to haul Linda out.

She was shaking, terrified, and then suddenly dropped into a deep bow in front of me, eyes glistening.

"Sis, I was wrong. I'm so sorry. I'll make it right, I swear—"

I was bored. I wanted to walk away.

But Jason was staring at me, rage building behind his eyes like a wildfire.

"You—actually—tried—to—kill—her."

He grabbed a fistful of my hair from behind with one hand and wrenched me off my feet, hanging me in the air.

Then he forced my head underwater and held it there.

I stayed calm, held my breath, and played along.

Go ahead, the harder the better.

What felt like a century later, he pulled me back out.

He dumped me in front of Linda's hospital bed and kicked me.

"On your knees."

I curled up on the floor. Mom was right beside Linda's bed, looking at me like she hated me.

"The doctor said Linda nearly died. Severe suffocation. Pulmonary edema."
