I’m the fake heiress, and Natalie Young is the real one. This is what my mom told me herself. But what she doesn’t know is that the DNA test Natalie showed her was actually forged by my dad. My name is Sophia Evans, and I was originally the sole heir to the Evans Group. But in the year I turned fifteen, my mom suddenly brought home a girl about my age. She said, “Sophia, this is Natalie. Do you know? She’s my biological daughter. I’ve been waiting for so long, and she’s finally come home!” My mom, with tears in her eyes, looked at Natalie with immense guilt. “Natalie, it’s all my fault. I let you suffer for fifteen years out there.” “Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you from now on.” Natalie was wearing high-end designer clothes, but her face was expressionless. She wasn’t even wearing lipstick. Her bare face made her small, delicate features look even more pitiful. I, on the other hand, was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, also without makeup. From a young age, my parents had always taught me to keep a low profile and not reveal our family’s circumstances to others. So, for fifteen years, even though I was the only daughter of the Evans Group, I lived no differently from ordinary people. None of my classmates knew about my background. Unlike Natalie, who had a father who spoiled her unconditionally. Whatever was fun, pretty, or useful, as long as she wanted it and he could afford it, she got it! I didn’t understand it before, but later I figured it out!
This wasn’t the first time I’d seen Natalie. Because, like me, she attended the same prestigious private school. I got in on my own merit. She got in on someone else’s. We were in the same class, but our relationship was like fire and water. Because the top student she had her eye on didn’t like her. And that top student had come to me several times for help with his studies. Seeing all this, Natalie couldn’t stand me even more. At school, rumors about me spread like wildfire. Ridiculous things like a high school girl picking up garbage and collecting recyclables! Or a high school girl trying to hook up with rich men but getting mocked instead! There was even a rumor about a high school girl from a family that favored boys over girls, getting beaten black and blue by her parents every day! In short, there wasn’t a single rumor that was even remotely credible. However, these fabricated rumors were deeply believed by most of the students. Natalie had always given off the impression of being a rich heiress. She came to school every day with exquisite makeup, wearing expensive jewelry on her wrists and fingers. Everyone thought, how could someone as rich as Natalie casually belittle a girl from an ordinary family? But I knew these rumors were all spread by Natalie. I also knew she had always disliked me. However, I never imagined she would have the audacity to brazenly walk into my home. Especially now, as she’s cuddling up to my mom and giving me a provocative smile. Very well! I smiled back at her, silently saying, “Since you want to play, let’s play this game to the end!” Then, I calmly got up and returned to my room.
Under the mattress in my room, there was a little secret that no one knew about. I locked the door and lifted the mattress directly. It was a photo from five years ago. In it were my dad, Natalie, and a woman I had never seen before. My dad and that woman stood on either side of Natalie. All three had the same smile, radiating happiness. It made people believe without a doubt that this was a real family. Among them, Natalie and my dad’s smiles were strikingly similar. Even the upward curve of their mouths was at the same angle. It made their blood relation undeniable. I thought, perhaps it was because Natalie looked so much like my dad that my mom believed her so easily! Bang bang bang! “Sophia, open the door!” my mom called from outside. I instinctively hid the photo back in its place, making sure there was no trace of disturbance before opening the door. “Mom, what’s wrong?” Outside, my mom was holding Natalie’s hand, looking at me with a troubled expression. Seeing my mom hesitate to speak, Natalie pretended to be hesitant and tugged at my mom’s sleeve, saying in a pitiful voice: “Mom, why don’t I just go back to my previous home? This way, big sister won’t be angry!” ??? I was full of question marks. What was Natalie up to now? “Go back where?” My mom patted Natalie’s hand, indicating that she should rest assured. “Natalie, your home is here. Don’t worry, as long as I’m around, no one will drive you away!” “As for Sophia, you’re the older sister. I haven’t mistreated you in these fifteen years. It’s just that now that Natalie is back, you should pack up your things and move to the guest room!” “This room will be kept for Natalie from now on!” After rattling off all this, my mom didn’t even look at me before turning and leaving with Natalie! Huh! So they’re already starting to squeeze me out? This is getting more and more interesting! Looking at their retreating figures, I started to feel strangely excited and expectant. I wonder what kind of reactions everyone will have when the truth comes out!
I didn’t want to announce everything to the world so quickly. After all, I hadn’t yet accumulated my own strength. So, before I had enough power, it wasn’t time to reveal all the cards. I took one last look at this room. From now on, it wouldn’t belong to me anymore! After packing my luggage, I carefully placed that photo at the very bottom of my suitcase. Dragging my suitcase to the living room, I saw Natalie still cuddling up to my mom. Mother and daughter both had red-rimmed eyes. I directly interrupted their heart-to-heart. “Mom, I’ve packed my things. Natalie can move in anytime.” Seeing me come out so readily with my suitcase, my mom looked a bit embarrassed, but still said: “Sophia, don’t blame mom. You were originally from an ordinary family. You’ve enjoyed the good life in our family for so long, and your dad and I have never treated you like an outsider.” “Now that Natalie is back, mom hopes you can give way to her more. After all, she just came back and hasn’t had an easy life like you have.” The way she said it, it was as if I had lived such a good life and Natalie had suffered so much! “Mom, don’t worry! I’ll definitely take good care of Natalie.” I agreed directly, and my lack of crying or fuss actually made my mom’s expression a bit stunned. “Sophia, mom knows you’re a good child. Don’t worry, in the future, mom will still treat you like her own child.” I nodded noncommittally, ignoring Natalie’s smug expression, and directly dragged my suitcase into the guest room. A child without a mother is like a blade of grass! In my previous life, I had seen this clearly early on. That’s right! I’ve been reborn! In my previous life, I lived to be twenty years old. I always thought I died accidentally, but during the years my soul was wandering, I discovered that my living self was just a joke. Because I wasn’t their biological daughter at all. My biological mother was the daughter of the richest man in City B. Under someone else’s instigation, she eloped with my biological father. Both my parents were very capable, building up a business empire in City C from scratch in just a year or two. Because of this, they incurred the jealousy of others. The year I was born, my parents were overjoyed. To ensure I would be provided for all my life, they planned all their assets early on and even made a will stating that I would inherit 80% of their property when I turned eighteen. But who would have thought that on my first birthday, they would all be killed, leaving only me to mistake the enemy for my father. Later, somehow, one day while wandering, I accidentally fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes again, I had returned to when I was ten years old. So, not long after I was reborn, I found ways to take that photo I now treasured. It’s just a pity that it’s not yet time for this photo to appear. I couldn’t help but smile ruefully.
Natalie and I were both in our first year of high school. In the school bathroom, Natalie cornered me with her two little followers. “Sophia Evans, I didn’t expect you to be so thick-skinned!” Natalie signaled her two followers to grab my arms, then strutted up to me arrogantly. She patted my cheeks. “I wonder if your skin is as thick as the city walls?” “Why don’t I cut it open and see?” Natalie mischievously scraped my skin with her long fingernails. I turned my head and looked at her contemptuously. “Natalie Young, do you have the guts?” Natalie’s hand paused, and her expression suddenly became interesting. “What wouldn’t I dare to do?” As if to prove it, Natalie immediately pulled out a small knife used for sharpening pencils from her pocket and waved it threateningly near my face. “Sophia Evans, tell me, if I cut up your pretty little face that seduces people, will Chris Thompson still favor you?” Chris Thompson was the top student in our class. I knew Natalie had always had a crush on him. However, Chris was only focused on his studies and didn’t pay any attention to Natalie, who had poor grades and didn’t like studying. The cold touch of the blade was pressed against my delicate facial skin, but I remained expressionless and stretched my neck to whisper in Natalie’s ear. “Natalie Young, if you don’t want me to expose your true identity right now, you’d better not provoke me!” “What exactly do you know?” After all, she was still young. Natalie’s face changed dramatically, and she unconsciously took two steps back. “Are you sure you want me to say it here?” I chuckled softly. Natalie hesitated, not daring to answer me. Her two followers looked at each other, unconsciously loosening their grip on me. I easily broke free. Walking to Natalie’s side, I whispered in her ear. “Isn’t your true identity that you’re the daughter of the mistress?” “What?” “Or did you think only your real family knew this secret?”
