Chapter 40 

“No. Just in case it gets too late, I can have Clark go pick you up.” 

Hearing this, Nova pouted playfully. “Alright, got it.” 

She had hoped to drag Alaric along to enjoy the show, but he clearly couldn’t care less. 

Guess she was flying solo on this one. 

By the time the day arrived, Nova had packed a couple of new swimsuits she’d recently bought. 

Having been reborn, her mental age was far beyond that of a high school kid. 

She wore cartoon pajamas and hugged childish stuffed animals at home so her parents wouldn’t get suspicious. 

But there was no way in hell she was going to wear a childish cartoon swimsuit in public. That would be pure social suicide. 

The Crestwood Villa was nestled in the mountains on the outskirts of the city. Though it was called a villa, it was essentially a massive mansion with a sprawling courtyard. 

The Donald family owned a similar retreat in the mountains, but they rarely visited it more than once a year. Over the years, they either rented it out or left it empty. 

When Nova arrived, most of the class was already there. Sylvie was dressed in casual loungewear, acting as if she lived there full-time as she ushered her classmates into the living room. 

“Make yourselves at home, guys. Don’t be shy.” 

Tina and the others were absolutely floored by the sheer size of the mansion, momentarily struck speechless. 

“Sylvie, your house is massive!” 

“Seriously! You don’t live here normally? This is way too extravagant!” 

The crowd continuously gasped in awe. 

Even though many of the kids in the A-Track Class came from money, the most they had were high-end apartments or modest suburban houses. Compared to the Suttons’ supposed wealth, it was nothing. 

Sylvie just smiled knowingly, saying nothing. 

“By the way, Sylvie, where’s Caleb? Why didn’t he come with you?” 

The other girls had tagged along not just to see the massive villa, but to get a glimpse of

Caleb outside of school. 

After all, he was the school heartthrob-usually aloof and quiet, only ever gracing them with a few words when Sylvie was around. 

Sylvie tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, failing to hide a bashful smile. “Caleb will be here a bit later. Let’s just hang out for now.” 

“Is everyone here? I feel like we’re missing someone.” 

“It’s Nova, right? She hasn’t shown up yet.” 

“After getting Sylvie and Caleb’s parents called in over their relationship, she probably doesn’t 

have the nerve to show her face.” 

“I wouldn’t be so sure. She’s been obsessed with Caleb for two years; you think she’d miss a chance to get close to him?” 

The room erupted in a chorus of mocking laughter aimed at Nova. 

Just then, the doorbell chimed. 

Tina immediately jumped up. “That has to be Caleb! I’ll get it!” 

She rushed to pull the door open, only to be met by a drop-dead gorgeous girl with luminous skin and stunning, long legs. 

Tina froze, staring blankly. “Who are you?” 

“I’m Nova.” 

Now that she had lost the weight, her voice had lost its heavy quality too, ringing out clear 

and melodious like wind chimes. 

“Nova?!” 

Tina was completely paralyzed with shock. 

When did Nova turn into this? 

“Tina, what’s taking so long?” 

Sylvie walked over, drawn by the silence. Although Tina was her best friend, she was still paranoid about other girls moving in on her territory. 

But as Sylvie approached, her eyes landed on the exquisitely beautiful face in the doorway. 

She froze too, completely failing to recognize the person standing in front of her. 

Nova offered a polite smile. “Sylvie, did you forget about me already?”
