My family is the wealthiest in the city, and I’m the designated heir. But my two brothers brought home a girl, saying we’d be sisters from now on, and even allowed her to impersonate me. Before the family inheritance announcement, my two brothers escorted her onto the stage in front of everyone. All eyes were drawn to her, believing she was the family’s chosen heir. Chloe looked at me as I followed her onto the stage, her expression haughty: “Olivia, this stage for the heir isn’t a place for you. Get off and go stand with the guests.” “If it weren’t for my brothers kindly adopting you as our family’s foster daughter, someone like you would never even set foot in the Sullivan mansion.” I knew she was relying on my brothers’ favoritism to act so arrogantly, even trying to steal my position as heir. But she didn’t know I’d been reborn. In my past life, I yielded at every turn, only to end up disowned and penniless. This time, I kicked her right off the stage: “Who do you think you are? How dare you act wild in front of me. You’re trying to steal what’s mine – do you have a death wish?”
I kicked Chloe off the stage with one swift move. Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Olivia, how dare you be so reckless, doing such a thing to Chloe!” My eldest brother Ethan’s face was livid with rage. My second brother Nathan rushed over and slapped me hard across the face. “You insolent foster child, how dare you bully Chloe like this! You’re asking to be punished!” They were shaking with anger, utterly shocked that I, who had always been so meek, would fight back now of all times. In their minds, I would at most cry at our father’s grave, then resign myself to my fate. “Punishment? Let me ask you – since when does an orphan you took in get to replace my identity?” Looking at my two brothers twisting the facts, my eyes were filled with cold fury. I had been so foolish before, always yielding to Chloe to please my brothers, even letting her impersonate me. Hearing my cold words, Ethan’s face darkened as he angrily berated me: “Olivia, what nonsense are you spouting? We kindly took you in, letting you live comfortably in the Sullivan home. Yet you dare to publicly assault our family’s only heir!” Nathan could barely contain his anger as he spoke: “It’s all my fault. I thought letting you attend would broaden your horizons. I never imagined your delusions would be so severe that you’d think yourself the Sullivan heir and make such a scene in public.” Chloe had returned to the stage with Ethan’s help. She looked at me with feigned hurt in her eyes: “Olivia, I never thought that my constant yielding to you would make you misunderstand yourself as the Sullivan heir.” “It’s my fault for being too indulgent. But Olivia, you absolutely cannot disrupt such an important occasion!” The three of them twisting the facts made all the guests start whispering among themselves: “An orphan taken in by the Sullivans, instead of quietly enjoying the luxury, actually dares to hit the real heir. The world’s really turned upside down!” “Is she trying to get herself disowned and cut off?” Hearing the guests’ comments, Ethan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he waved his hand dramatically, ordering the security guards standing nearby: “Since she’s so delusional, I hereby declare that as long as we’re around, you’ll never set foot in the Sullivan mansion again!” “Take her away!” The security guards swarmed menacingly onto the stage. Seeing the guards approaching, my eyes grew even colder: “Ethan, who gave you the authority to target the Sullivan family’s true heir in front of everyone?” “Don’t forget Father’s will on his deathbed – I am the sole heir to the entire Sullivan family.” Hearing my forceful tone, my two brothers’ eyes flashed with panic. But Ethan quickly furrowed his brow and snapped: “Olivia, what are you playing at? How could the Sullivan heir possibly be a foster child like you?” The security guards had already surrounded me threateningly. Nathan also recovered, speaking condescendingly: “Olivia, you really have some nerve. Don’t forget that everything you’re wearing right now was given to you by us!” “What are you waiting for? Throw her out of here immediately!” Seeing the guards getting closer, I angrily smashed a nearby champagne bottle. “Listen up! I am the sole heir to the Sullivan family. I dare any of you to touch me!”
The sound of shattering glass plus my angry shout made the entire ballroom fall silent. All the security guards were intimidated by my aura. Then I turned to my two brothers, my face cold: “Ethan, Nathan, you’re still twisting the facts! This foster daughter you brought home has been completely out of control, relying on your support!” “She’s not only enjoying our family’s wealth, but now wants to steal my identity as heir! You two really think you can do whatever you want in this family!” Ethan’s face grew darker and darker as he spoke icily: “Olivia, you’re the one who’s out of control. Not only did you publicly assault Chloe, you’ve ruined the event we worked so hard to prepare!” “Do you think you can muddy the waters and steal the Sullivan inheritance like this?” Many guests whispered among themselves: “This Olivia they adopted into the Sullivan family is really something else. She’s already part of the family, yet she’s pulling these tricks to try and steal the inheritance!” “But why do I feel like Olivia has an air of nobility about her, more befitting of the Sullivan heir? Who’s telling the truth here?” Hearing the guests’ comments, Nathan’s eyes flashed with anger: “Olivia, your delusions are getting more and more severe. There’s only one heir here, and that’s Chloe!” “What are you all standing around for? Throw her out immediately!” Ethan paused for a moment, then spoke with an extremely grim expression: “She’s bullying Chloe like this now. We might as well just cut her off financially to teach her a lesson. We can’t let others think the Sullivan family rules are lax.” When my brothers mentioned cutting me off, the anger in my heart instantly filled my entire chest. In my past life, my brothers always sided with the orphan Chloe they brought home. Whenever Chloe was unhappy, my two brothers would punish me. To please them, I kept yielding again and again, even giving up my position as heir. But in the end, Chloe said she wanted to see something exciting. My two brothers directly cut me off financially, leaving me penniless and on the streets. As I desperately begged for help, my brothers were laughing and chatting with Chloe outside. As I lay dying, I couldn’t understand – I was their real sister, so why did they favor an outsider they brought home so much? In this life, after careful investigation, I finally understood the reason. Thinking of this, I looked at my two brothers even more coldly: “You want to cut me off? Who do you think you are to treat me so rebelliously? Aren’t you afraid Grandmother will find out?” Nathan’s face instantly paled. He whispered in Ethan’s ear: “Brother, if Grandmother Sullivan hears we cut Olivia off, that would be disastrous. We should just throw her out for now.” Seeing Nathan’s fearful look, I couldn’t help but sneer. The entire Sullivan family empire was built by Grandmother. She only had my father as a child. After my father died, Grandmother personally named me the heir to the entire Sullivan Group according to my father’s will, while she retired overseas. These two brothers aren’t my real brothers at all, but the children of my mother’s brother. It was only because my brothers’ parents died early that my mother begged my father for two weeks before he allowed these two brothers to enter our Sullivan family. That’s when their last name was changed to Sullivan. Ethan’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of Grandmother Sullivan, but he still spoke firmly: “What are you afraid of? Once Chloe inherits the family business, what can Grandmother say even if she’s unhappy?” I just sneered: “I’m standing right here. Who can steal my identity as the Sullivan heir?” Hearing my words, Ethan pointed at me in a rage: “You little brat, you dare to keep spouting nonsense? You really think you’re the Sullivan heir!” “Why are you all still standing there hesitating? I’ll say it right now – $100,000 to whoever hits her. Cash on the spot!” As soon as he finished speaking, one of the young security guards rushed over and punched me hard. “A foster child picked up by the Sullivans, still daring to make a scene here? Know your place!” Touching my aching nose, I laughed bitterly. A random security guard I’d never seen before dared to punch me. It seems my two brothers really thought they could do whatever they wanted in the Sullivan family. My expression grew colder as I kicked the guard’s left knee hard. In pain, the guard immediately knelt before me. “Ethan, Nathan, you two really have some influence, offering $100,000 for a punch! Who gave you the right to spend the Sullivan family’s money?” Seeing I was still resisting, Ethan spoke in fury: “What are you all standing around for? Take her to the basement and lock her up! Whoever does it gets a million dollar reward!” Nathan’s voice was equally icy: “Anyone who doesn’t move, pack your bags and get out!” Under my brothers’ threats and bribes, the guards began closing in on me. Just then, an angry shout came from outside the hall: “What are you all doing? The event started so long ago, why is it still so chaotic!”
Everyone turned to look at the door. The newcomer was my mother. Upon entering, she saw the bloodstains on Chloe’s clothes and rushed to her side, fuming: “Chloe, what happened? How did you get hurt? Tell me who did this!” Chloe looked down at me, tears in her eyes. Ethan pointed at me angrily: “Mom, who else could it be but this little brat?” Nathan was shaking with rage, “Mom, look how arrogant this brat is. She kicked Chloe off the stage right in front of us. She’s still bleeding.” Mother rushed over and punched me hard in the face: “Olivia, who gave you the guts to bully Chloe? Have you lost your mind?” “You’ve ruined today’s event. Are you trying to completely destroy the Sullivan family’s reputation?” “I need to teach you a lesson. Get on your knees and apologize to Chloe right now!” Seeing my mother’s actions, the guests frowned and muttered: “Isn’t that Hannah Sullivan, the former family head’s wife? From her reaction, it seems Chloe is her real daughter!” “Damn, this Olivia has some nerve, openly claiming to be the Sullivan heir. I almost believed her.” Hearing the guests’ discussions, my expression darkened further. I shoved my mother away hard. “Teach me a lesson? You’re not fit to be my mother anymore!” In my past life, besides my two brothers unconditionally favoring Chloe, even my mother doted on Chloe extremely. One time, I accidentally broke one of Chloe’s toys. My mother locked me outside kneeling for a whole day before forgiving me. After that, I always followed Chloe around, pathetically trying to please her to win back my brothers’ and mother’s love. But in this life, I finally understood. Chloe wasn’t some orphan brought in from outside. She was my mother’s child with my mother’s brother. To protect my inheritance rights, my father had specifically left a will for Grandmother to announce me as the sole Sullivan heir. But my father never anticipated that his wife would not only try to steal my inheritance, but even wanted to get rid of me completely. My two brothers had known about this all along, and were scheming to help their real sister. I was so stupid before not to notice these things. Mother was furious, glaring at me as she spoke: “You dare talk back? You’re really getting out of control!” I met my mother’s angry gaze directly, speaking coldly: “Hannah Sullivan, don’t forget that I’m the Sullivan heir. An outsider like you has no right to speak.” “As long as I’m here, your illegitimate daughter Chloe will never take over the Sullivan family!” Hearing my words, Mother exploded in rage. Chloe lunged at me first, followed by my two brothers pouncing on me viciously. Mother grabbed my collar and slapped me again. “You little brat, say that again? I’ve been running the Sullivan family for years. Your grandmother hasn’t been involved in ages. Why can’t I make decisions?” I was pinned down unable to move. I licked the blood from the corner of my mouth, still staring fearlessly at my mother. I had already notified Grandmother to return earlier. By my calculations, she should arrive any moment now. Seeing my smile, Hannah grew even more enraged. Chloe kicked me hard in the stomach. “You little brat, you still dare to hit and curse at me? Who gave you the guts? Remember, you’re the foster child in the Sullivan family!” My two brothers didn’t hold back either, each slapping me across the face again. “Olivia, who do you think you are? Stop daydreaming. The entire Sullivan family rightfully belongs to Chloe!” Just then, an elderly but strong and authoritative voice rang out from the doorway: “Who gave you the guts to bully my granddaughter, the Sullivan family’s only heir! Do you all have a death wish?”
