Rebom Exposing My Adopted Sister’s Plot

Chapter 20 Replacing Jesse

+8 Pearls

Every time this happened, the Spencer boys told her not to eat spicy food again. They always reminded her that Philip had lost his life to save her, so why couldn’t she be considerate of Taylor? Would it really kill her to cut back on the spice?

However, if the Spencer boys ate something spicy by accident, Taylor acted completely different. She would smile sweetly, tell them to rinse their mouths, and the whole thing would be brushed off like nothing.

Now, Jesse finally didn’t have to worry about Taylor and could enjoy her food.

Chatter buzzed around her.

“Did

you

watch Mike’s match? They were amazing! They won the playoff round so easily!”

“Last time was just a slip–up. This time, they totally crushed the other team!”

“Mike looked so cool. Even the way he flew the drone was awesome!”

They were so loud that their voices stood out even in the noisy cafeteria.

After hearing them, Jesse remembered that Mike’s team had their playoff round today. She opened the tournament website on her phone and clicked on the Archebot Team’s match.

After Matthew repaired the drone, he hadn’t told her the details, so this was a good chance to check. She could watch while eating and see whether his skills had improved.

She ate her meal while staring at the livestream.

On the screen, Mike’s drone zipped across the field.

Her eyes narrowed a little, and she tapped her fingers on the screen. Zooming in, she could see the drone lagging. Its flight wasn’t as smooth as before.

Still, the team they faced wasn’t very strong. Even though Taylor’s control was clumsy, the drone’s performance had dropped, and the team’s coordination wasn’t great, they still won.

However, the cost was high–the drone broke again.

Jesse gave a small smile. It looked like Matthew would be making money again.

“Jesse, are you watching Mike’s match?”

Chapter 20 Replacing Jesse

A familiar voice suddenly came, filled with pride and challenge.

Without looking up, Jesse closed her phone and asked coolly, “What is it?”

Taylor pulled Mike, who looked annoyed, to sit across from her. Her eyes gleamed with

smugness.

On the surface, though, she bit her lip and acted concerned. “Jesse, see? Even if you refused to help the team and didn’t fix Mike’s drone, we still found a way. Don’t keep using things like this to pressure him.”

Her words carried clear mockery.

See? Without you, Jesse, the Archebot Team’s drone still got fixed! Without you, the Archebot Team will win!

Jesse looked up, her gaze cutting straight at Taylor. “What are you trying to say?”

Taylor quickly pulled back her smile and feigned innocence. “I was just worried about you, Jesse. Don’t keep being stubborn and fighting with the family. If you apologize to Mike, he’ll let you come home. Isn’t that right, Mike?”

She raised her voice a little when she asked Mike. The way she said it made Jesse’s skin crawl.

Mike snorted. He didn’t give in, even with Taylor asking for her.

Jesse glanced at the remaining bits of her meal and suddenly lost her appetite.

Just as she was about to stand and clear her tray, Mike’s phone rang. He frowned and pulled it out. Seeing it was a teammate, he stood up and walked out to take the call.

Jesse looked at Taylor, who was still sitting across from her. “Your brother left. Aren’t you going too?”

Mike hadn’t gone far when he heard her. He suddenly turned back. “How can you talk to Taylor like that? This is the cafeteria, not the Houston Residence! Who are you trying to act tough with?”

At the same time, his teammate’s urgent voice came through the phone. “Mike, the drone has problems again.”

Mike frowned, frustration rising. “What’s wrong this time?” His voice was low and impatient.

Before, all of this had been Jesse’s job. Now everything had to be reported to him, which was wearing him out.

Because of that, the way he looked at Jesse grew colder and more resentful.

Chapter 20 Replacing Jesse

“Problems that come after use are normal. I just don’t know how to fix it. It’s the same issue as before. Taylor, come to the team.”

Taylor smiled faintly, pleased that she had completely taken Jesse’s place in everyone’s eyes.

She turned to Jesse, hoping to see sadness or frustration on her face. However, Jesse stayed calm, watching her like she was watching a joke.

When Taylor met those steady eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and her face went pale. That was when she remembered–she didn’t know how to fix drones.

Her fingers twisted at the hem of her shirt as sweat formed on her forehead.

Mike didn’t notice. He smiled with relief and said to her, “Taylor, the team’s drone broke again. Let’s hurry back and fix it.”

Status: Ongoing

1) The Awakening

Jesse Spencer wakes to a sharp, icy voice—her brother Corey shouting. Her head spins, fever burning through her skull. Instinct takes over: the reflex of someone broken by years in prison. She drops to her knees and apologizes automatically. But the floor beneath her isn’t concrete. It’s soft—carpeted. Panic flares. She’s not in her cell. She’s back in her room, surrounded by familiar furniture she thought she’d never see again. She’s been reborn—twelve years into the past.

2) The Day That Ruined Her

Memories rush back in fragments. It’s that day—the day Taylor Holman accused her of ruining her contest project, locked her in the bathroom, and made her freeze through the night as punishment. Back then, Jesse refused to take the blame. That same night, Corey drenched her in ice water and turned off the heat, forcing her to “reflect.” Her fever had nearly killed her. While she suffered, Taylor basked in sympathy. Corey, blind with guilt, lashed out at Jesse just to see Taylor smile.

3) A Family Turned Against Her

Each brother had chosen Taylor over Jesse. Andrew, the doctor, brought medicine and comforted her gently, convinced she was in the wrong. Mike hovered over Taylor, offering warm water and towels. Kaleb, the youngest, even gave away Jesse’s hard-won spot in an international design competition—handing Taylor her future as if it meant nothing. Jesse had been branded a villain in her own home, a sinner forced to repay a debt she never owed.

4) The Debt That Wasn’t Hers

“Do you think Philip would forgive you? He died saving you!” Corey’s voice echoes again. The name pierces her chest. Philip Holman, Taylor’s brother, had died in a fire rescuing Jesse—or so everyone believed. The guilt consumed the Spencers, and they took Taylor in as family. Every day after that, they reminded Jesse: You owe her your brother. You owe her his life. Her brothers, her chances, her future—all handed to Taylor, the eternal victim.

5) The Truth Behind the Flames

But now, with her memories restored, Jesse finally knows the truth. Philip hadn’t died heroically—he had started the fire himself. He wanted to play savior, to make himself look noble in Taylor’s eyes, and Jesse was the collateral damage. Worse, Taylor had locked the door after them, intending to let the flames take them both. When the Spencers arrived, Taylor wept for the cameras, mourning her “only family,” while Jesse stumbled from the blaze branded a murderer.

6) The Accusation Reborn

Jesse’s fists tighten. Rage surges. But Corey mistakes it for defiance. “Still stubborn, huh? No apology, no school. You’ll stay grounded until you learn!” He glares, confident she’ll cave like before—especially with the design competition only three days away. Fevered and weak, Jesse still meets his eyes. “Fine,” she rasps. “I’ll apologize later. Now get out. I need to change.” Her tone chills him—cold, unfamiliar, unyielding. He leaves, thinking she’s finally obeying.

7) The Price of Survival

As soon as the door shuts, Jesse collapses. Pain sears through every bone. Her fever burns hotter; her limbs feel like lead. Somehow, she drags herself to the closet, pulling on dry clothes before sinking into bed. The warmth of the blanket breaks her. Three years in prison—three years of starvation, torture, and despair—flash through her mind. Her brothers had even paid guards to punish her for Taylor’s sake. Starved. Beaten. Forgotten. Cancer had finished what they started.

8) The Promise of Vengeance

Not this time. She won’t die quietly again. Curling into the blanket, Jesse whispers to herself, “I’ve got time. I’ll rest now. Then I’ll plan.” The warmth feels foreign, almost sinful after years of cold concrete. Her eyes close slowly. For the first time in forever, she lets herself sleep—safe, for the moment. This rebirth isn’t mercy. It’s a second chance to make them pay.

9) The Wake-Up Call

“Jesse!” The roar yanks her awake. Harsh light floods the room as someone rips away the blanket. Cold air slaps her burning skin. Rough hands drag her upright—it’s Mike, furious. “You told Corey you’d apologize, and you’re sleeping? Taylor’s been defending you, and this is how you repay her? Get up!” Jesse’s stomach churns; her body convulses. She doubles over, gagging—but there’s nothing in her stomach to give. Mike sneers. “Still pretending? Think playing sick will save you?”

10) The Beginning of Payback

Her voice comes out hoarse and broken. “Let go. I can stand myself.” He does, grudgingly. His frown deepens—she’s burning up—but he dismisses it. After all, Taylor’s the one “who’s really been through hell.” He orders coldly, “Quit wasting time. Taylor’s waiting.”
Jesse steadies herself, eyes icy despite the fever. Once, she begged for their understanding. Now, she only needs their ignorance. Let them believe she’s weak. Soon enough, they’ll learn what true strength looks like. Rebirth has given her purpose—and this time, she won’t bow to anyone.
