Josie chuckled. ‘What “history” are we even talking about?’Â
Jaden was always hot-tempered and impulsive. He thought he was always right, never listened to explanations.Â
Once he believed something, even if it was dead wrong, Jaden would never back down.Â

In their previous life, because of Jaden’s stubbornness, their research took countless detours. Yet in the end, all the blame landed on Josie, with him saying she was the one who refused to listen.Â
This time, Josie was determined to show him what it really meant to not listen.Â
With a face full of mockery, Josie said, “Who told you I’m going back to Professor Lawson’s team?”Â
“You….” Jaden was left speechless for the second time.Â

For the first time in his life, Jaden felt his usual temper had no effect on Josie. Back then, all it took was him raising his voice, and she’d immediately apologize, coax him, and stay patient.Â
“Why is she different now? She actually talks back, even mocked me,’ Jaden wondered.Â
Vincent was starting to get a headache, his brows practically knotted. “Josie, don’t be so impulsive. This isn’t a joke. You’ve been studying this major for four years. How can you just quit like that?Â
“Did you forget what you said before? That you’d stand on top of this field with us and enjoy the highest honors in medicine?”Â
“I haven’t forgotten.” Josie’s expression grew calm. “I’m still going to the top. I’ll still work for the highest honors in medicine. But that doesn’t mean I can’t change my major.”Â
“Are you hearing yourself?” Jaden laughed sarcastically. “Switch majors now? Leave Professor Lawson’s team and still dream of standing at the top? You’re way too naive.”Â
Josie completely lost her patience. “You should leave. I’ve already submitted my withdrawal from the team, and the major change is set. I won’t be changing my mind.”Â
With that, Josie turned around.Â
Natalie was secretly delighted. She hadn’t expected Josie to give up this easily. “Josie, can I ask what major you’re switchingÂ
to?Â
“That’s none of your business.” Josie’s brows lowered. She had no intention of entertaining Natalie.Â
Natalie was nothing but a leech, sinking her claws into David and his entire team. In their past life, Josie had foiled Natalie’s schemes more than once, saving the other seniors time and again.Â
But in the end, those seniors, sweet-talked by Natalie’s honeyed words, only saw Josie as the villain. They not only humiliated her but even kicked her out of the team.Â
Now, Josie wasn’t going to play the annoying busybody anymore. Natalie and her precious seniors could go love each other all they wanted.Â
Jaden Natalie, hitting a wall, looked aggrieved as she turned those pitiful eyes toward Jaden.Â
Jaden couldn’t handle that look at all. He stormed forward and grabbed Josie’s arm. “Natalie asked you a question. Why aren’t you answering her?”Â

“If you’re sick, go get treated. Let go,” Josie said coldly, her eyes flashing cold.Â
When Josie looked at Jaden, it was as if she was staring at an idiot.Â

Jaden froze. He had never seen Josie look at him like that full of disdain and contempt. He could feel her looking down. on him, humiliating him.Â
By the time Jaden realized what was happening, anger had completely taken over.Â
“Josie, you’re unbelievable. If I ever care about you again, I’ll be a damn bastard. Natalie, let’s go.” Jaden grabbed Natalie and dragged her away.Â
Vincent’s expression stiffened. He looked at the leaving Jaden, then turned to Josie. “Are you really sure about quitting the team?”Â
“Yeah.” Josie barely lifted her eyelids, clearly losing patience. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”Â
“Josie!” Vincent wasn’t ready to give up. “Don’t be mad at Aiden or Professór Lawson. They never wanted you out of the team. If you change your mind now, there’s still time. We’d welcome you back.”Â
Josie let out a soft snort. “Thank you, but I don’t want to go back.”Â
I’m not stupid. I’ve already been burned once. Why would I go back for more?’ Josie thought.Â
Back at the dorm, Josie wasn’t the least bit affected. She simply kept reading her book.Â
