Chapter 80
My eyes widened in disbelief.§
“Why is Khalid innocent? He used those harmful Hexseed and twisted the truth. How can he walk away without a single consequence?”
If Khalid was truly innocent, then what was the point of everything I had done in this life?”
The female officer gently patted my hand, trying to calm me.
“Kelsey, we understand how you feel. But Aimee claimed she bought the Hexseed while traveling and swore Khalid had nothing to do with it. And without evidence, we can’t charge him.“”
I clutched my head in frustration. Could the person who ended my life in the past really get to walk free in this one?”
When I stepped out of the police station, a cold wind cut through me, sending chills down my spine.
In the end, Aimee was sentenced to seven years in prison for intentional homicide. The wool also expelled her immediately.
At the same time, I hired someone to look into Khalid, and the information they brought back nearly knocked the air out of
- me.
Khalid and Aimee weren’t just acquaintances; they

had been childhood sweethearts, once lovers.
Before I could fully process everything, the police called me.

Kelsey, Aimee suffered a heart attack yesterday and escaped during emergency transfer. We suspect she and Khalid might come for you. Please stay alert in the coming days.”
I nodded, but I already had a different plan in mind.”
Three days later, after evening self–study, I packed up and headed out.
Just as I stepped off campus and reached for my phone to hail a ride, a sharp, piercing pain struck the back of my head.\
Right before my consciousness faded, I caught a glimpse of Khalid’s face.
The corners of my mouth curled faintly.”
So, you finally took the bait.\
When i came to, I was lying in an abandoned factory.
I looked around in panic, trying to get a grasp of where I was.
Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang.”
Khalid stepped in first. And behind him, Aimee followed close behind.
The moment Aimee saw me, she rushed over and kicked me.
I bit back the pain, staring at her in shock. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in prison?“}
Aimee glared at me, eyes full of hate. “Kelsey, if it weren’t for you, how could I have ended up in prison? You ruined me!“”
I was completely speechless.
“You killed your own child. What does that have to do with me?“}
I turned to Khalid, confusion tightening in my chest.
“Khalid, I treated you well. Why would you hurt me?“”
He looked at me coldly.
“Kelsey, do you know how disgusting your ‘holier–than–thou‘ attitude was when you sponsored me like I was some charity case? That’s why I wanted to drag you down, make you suffer, and be shamed by everyone.“}
I never imagined that the kindness I showed him would be the very reason he wanted to destroy me.”
“So, Khalid, it was you who planted the Hexseed on me, wasn’t it?“}
Khalid sneered. “That’s right. Kelsey, you’re clever, but not clever enough. You’re about to become Aimee, burned alive in a so–called suicide.”
My heart sank. Panic surged through me as I quickly backed away.
“Khalid, what are you trying to do? Murder is a crime.“}
He pulled out a small box.
“Wrong. The one dying today is Aimee, taking her own life out of guilt.”
I shouted, “Khalid, do you really think the police are that blind? Aimee and I are completely different people. How could they possibly mistake me for her?“M
Khalid opened the box slowly.!!
*Kelsey, I’ll let you die knowing the truth. In Pine Ridge, there’s a Hexseed that can swap two people’s appearance and blood

ties. Even if they autopsy your body, all they’ll see is Aimee.“}
As he spoke, he grabbed my arm and pressed the object from the box against my skin.
The Hexseed worm wriggled out and tried to burrow into me.
But the moment it touched my blood, it froze, completely still.
Khalid’s face twisted with panic. “What’s going on? My Hexseed, Kelsey, what did you do?“!
I looked down at the necklace around my neck and spoke calmly.
“You can come in now.“&

The next second, the warehouse was surrounded, and over a dozen police officers burst in, swiftly restraining Khalid and
Aimee.
Someone hurried over and untied the ropes around me.
“Khalid, you used forbidden Hexseed from Pine Ridge to harm others. We now have solid evidence. You won’t escape justice
this time.“&
Khalid stared at me, stunned for a moment, before his expression twisted in fury.
“Kelsey, you planned this from the start!”
I gave a faint smile. “If you
hadn’t tried to hurt me, how would I have had the chance to trap you?
In the end, both Khalid and Aimee were arrested.

Khalid was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Aimee had five more years added for escaping custody.
As I walked out of the police station, a voice called out to me.
It was the female officer, the Saintess from Pine Ridge.
She looked at me thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, “Kelsey, you’re not just an ordinary person, are you?”
I chuckled softly. “Officer, I’m just the most ordinary person.“[
She smiled and said, “But I’m sure there’s something different about you.“}
This time, I didn’t deny it.”
After all, being reborn was anything but ordinary.
The female officer didn’t push further; she simply smiled and said, “Kelsey, go embrace your new life.“>
I smiled back and replied with clarity, “Okay.”
