I went downstairs to take out the trash. But I noticed a rare Lamborghini rocking unnaturally. In the back seat, my two brothers were caught up with the orphan girl they had brought home. I wasn’t surprised. I quietly recorded a video and sent it to the world’s largest Global News Network. “By 7 PM tomorrow, I want this video to be seen by everyone worldwide.” In my previous life, the orphan leveraged her role as my brother’s kept companion to usurp my identity as the eldest daughter of Boston’s elite Harrison family. At the birthday banquet for the Harrison family’s eldest daughter, the orphan Adeline Harrison and my brother confronted me, twisting the narrative. “Do you, just an orphan, have the right to be here?” “I am now the eldest daughter of the Harrison family. And you?! You should crawl back to your kennel and stop embarrassing yourself here.” In my past life, I feared my brother’s wrath and always gave in to Adeline Harrison. But now I’ve been reborn. At the banquet the next day, when the orphan Adeline Harrison blocked my way as she had in my past life, I kicked her to the ground without hesitation. “Who do you think you are, daring to stand in my way?” I shot a sideways glance at the maid nearby, “What are you waiting for? Remove this impostor!” Everyone present was stunned into silence. No one expected me, once so timid, to dare take action. The maid hurried over to help Adeline Harrison up. When she looked back at me, her eyes were filled with fear. “Second Miss, aren’t you afraid the eldest young master will be angry for treating the eldest miss like this?” She knew full well I was the eldest daughter, yet she addressed me otherwise on purpose. “Remember this! The Harrison family has only one daughter, Cora Harrison!” The maid was so frightened she trembled all over, lowering her head, not daring to respond. I stepped up and slapped her to the ground, “Can’t even recognize your own master, what use are you? Get lost!” In my past life, this maid, seeing that my parents were often not home, took my brother’s authority as her own, and insulted me, the eldest daughter of the Harrison family, without restraint. The orphan Adeline Harrison ordered her to find someone to disfigure me and then had me killed and my body disposed of. The maid obeyed, becoming Adeline Harrison’s servant. Now, she was completely intimidated by my aura, kneeling on the ground, “I was only acting on the eldest miss’s orders, how could you hit me?” “If the eldest young master finds out, he definitely won’t let you off.” At this moment, Adeline Harrison, in her orphan identity, began to win people over, helping the maid up and adopting a sisterly posture to scold me. “Truly an orphan taken in.” “Even after all these years in our Harrison family, you still haven’t changed your habit of lying.” Adeline Harrison’s friend, Phoebe Thompson, couldn’t wait to come forward and link arms with her, looking at me with eyes full of resentment. “You’re shameless. Not only do you not appreciate the great kindness of the Harrison family, but you also slander Adeline at her own party.” Everyone present immediately began to whisper. “This person was clearly taken in by the Harrison family, and yet she repays kindness with enmity.” “I heard the Harrison family treats this orphan they took in very well, treating her as one of their own. Even Miss Adeline Harrison treats her as a real sister, sharing everything with her.” “An orphan without parents, yet she wants to impersonate the eldest daughter of the Harrison family, she’s really tired of living.” These people didn’t know the truth. Back then, I saw how pitiful Adeline Harrison was and begged my parents to bring her home to keep me company. As Adeline Harrison grew up, she became sweet-talking and was very likable, which made my cousin fond of her. So whenever there was an event in the circle, my brother would only take Adeline Harrison, leaving me at home, forbidding me to go out. Over time, everyone thought Adeline Harrison was the Harrison family’s eldest daughter, and I was the one taken in. Reborn, I will never swallow my anger again. My dad has billions in assets, and his word is law in the New York social circle, known as Mr. Harrison. My mom is an International Film Star, renowned in the film industry. Many people’s lives and fortunes here depend on my parents’ words. Why should I let an orphan and a cousin ride on my head? Sweeping my gaze over everyone present, my eyes finally locked onto Phoebe Thompson, boiling with hatred, clenching my fists. “Your father’s multinational company only got off the ground because he begged my dad for three days and nights for funding. Ask him if he dares meddle in our family’s affairs?” Publicly humiliated by me, Phoebe Thompson couldn’t swallow her pride and came up intending to slap me. I grabbed her wrist and slapped her back instead. She was instantly furious, her face contorted with rage, her chin trembling, “You, you brat, how dare you hit me?” Adeline Harrison looked around and shouted, “Where are the security guards? Are they all dead?” The security guards had just started to move when I turned and shot them a sharp look, so intense they didn’t dare meet my eyes. “I am the Harrison family’s eldest daughter, who dares lay a finger on me?” Adeline Harrison, afraid others would believe me, immediately shrieked with a guilty conscience. “Cora Harrison, everyone knows you are the brat my dad picked up.” “You think you can reverse black and white, and everyone will believe you? Dream on!” Everyone nodded in agreement. “Miss Harrison is right. Every time there’s an important event, it’s always the Harrison family’s young master attending with Miss Harrison, never seen you.” “Today is the Harrison family’s banquet celebrating Miss Harrison officially entering the New York social circle, yet it’s been ruined by an orphan.” I laughed coldly at their words. I turned to the maid beside me, “Go call my respected brother, and tell him the brat Adeline Harrison wants to impersonate the eldest daughter of the Harrison family and bring shame to us.” “Isn’t he afraid Adeline Harrison will become a rat everyone wants to beat?” The maid hesitated. She knew my brother always held Adeline Harrison in the palm of his hand, even spending billions to make her an online celebrity. Every time Adeline Harrison bullied me, he would take her side, even scolding me harshly for being immature, grounding me without food or drink, and finally forcing me to kneel and apologize to Adeline Harrison before letting it go. “Go, I’ll handle everything.” Hearing this, the maid finally left. Adeline Harrison, the orphan, laughed mockingly, “Cora Harrison, have you forgotten how my brother dealt with you every time you offended me?” Relying on my brother Nolan Harrison’s favor, she never took me seriously. In my past life, when Adeline Harrison had the maid throw acid on me, I called Nolan Harrison for help. Not only did he not believe me, but he also scolded me on the phone for slandering Adeline Harrison, telling me to die far away if I wanted to die. In the end, filled with deep despair and pain, I was beaten to death by people arranged by Adeline Harrison and thrown into the icy, bone-chilling river. In this new life, I will make them pay for their blood debts! Chapter Two Unexpectedly, before Nolan Harrison arrived, my childhood friend Wesley Johnson came pushing a huge bouquet, dressed in a sharp suit, walking gracefully. “Harrison family sister, to show my love for you, I bought out all the flower shops in the city to gather these 9,999 roses.” Phoebe Thompson, Adeline Harrison’s friend, suddenly froze, her face turning pale with shock. She glanced nervously and doubtfully at Adeline Harrison beside her. Could Wesley Johnson’s words be meant for me? Looking at Wesley Johnson’s affectionate expression, I couldn’t help but find it ridiculous. He used to cling to me as a child, often playing the game of groom and bride with me, even telling my dad he wanted to marry me when he grew up. But after seeing the orphan Adeline Harrison, he immediately transferred his affections, starting to fawn over her. Even when Adeline Harrison bullied me, he watched coldly, telling me to recognize my place. Standing in front of Adeline Harrison, Wesley Johnson wore a gentle smile, lightly brushing aside the hair on her forehead, “Adeline, you’re truly beautiful.” Turning his gaze to me, his eyes were sharp as knives, “You, an orphan nearly starved to death on the streets, dare to impersonate the eldest daughter of the Harrison family?” “Cora Harrison, even if you beg me on your knees now, I won’t spare you a glance.” “The only one I love is the true eldest daughter of the Harrison family, Adeline Harrison.” The Wesley Johnson who once swore to love me for a lifetime now shamelessly groveled at the feet of the orphan Adeline Harrison, accusing me of being the one taken in. Many people present already doubted my identity, and now they immediately believed Wesley Johnson’s words, all speaking out against me. “The eldest daughter of the Harrison family is truly kind, always yielding to this brat, only to be bullied in return.” “Such an ungrateful, heartless brat, Mr. Harrison should have let her die on the roadside back then.” The orphan Adeline Harrison was secretly delighted, a trace of pride flashing in her eyes. Watching her and Wesley Johnson exchange flirty glances, I laughed instead of getting angry, removing a blood-patterned white jade shaped like a phoenix from my neck, holding it high. “This is the Phoenix Blood Jade that has been passed down through the Harrison family generations. Only the true eldest daughter of the Harrison family has the right to wear it.” “Adeline Harrison, do you have it?” Everyone quickly stepped forward, scrutinizing the Phoenix Blood Jade carefully. Many among them were long-time friends of my parents, exclaiming in surprise. “I’ve heard Mr. Harrison mention this before. It seems Cora Harrison is indeed Mr. Harrison’s daughter.” “Strange. Then why did the Harrison family young master tell us Mr. Harrison invited us here to pave the way for Miss Adeline Harrison?” Adeline Harrison instantly panicked, her face turning white. She knew nothing about the Phoenix Blood Jade, let alone possessed one. Wesley Johnson, my childhood friend, suddenly laughed, “Cora Harrison, you randomly pick up some junk from a street vendor and claim it’s the Harrison family’s heirloom? Then I could buy a hairpin and say it was worn by Empress Wu Zetian.” Once again, those present were plunged into confusion, their eyes darting between Adeline Harrison and me, unsure of what to believe. “That’s odd. Why did the young master of the Harrison family tell us that Mr. Harrison invited us here to give Ms. Adeline Harrison an advantage?” Adeline Harrison suddenly looked alarmed, her face going pale. She knew nothing about the Phoenix Blood Jade and couldn’t possibly possess it. Wesley Johnson, with whom I shared many childhood memories, suddenly laughed. “Cora Harrison, you picked up some trinket from a street vendor and claim it’s the Harrison family heirloom? If I bought a hairpin, I could say it was once worn by Empress Wu Zetian.” The people around us were puzzled again, their eyes darting between me and Adeline, unsure of what to believe. Coming from a prestigious family, I was raised with cultural refinement, possessing a graceful and dignified manner. Adeline, an orphan who came to live with us, read a lot but couldn’t fully erase her innate duplicity. No matter how much she tried to imitate, it was just a poor attempt. Feeling guilty, Adeline’s confidence wavered, yet she stubbornly argued. “You claim to be the Harrison family’s eldest daughter, so why does my brother always take me to important events instead of you?” The more Wesley Johnson looked at me, the more he found me irritating. “Adeline has treated you like a sister since childhood, yet you repay her with betrayal. How shameless!” Their performance swayed the crowd towards them again. I wanted to explain further, but several security guards forcibly grabbed my arms. Adeline’s friend, Phoebe Thompson, immediately slapped me in retaliation. Not satisfied, she hit my face with her bag. “You’re just someone the Harrison family took in, yet you want to take everything from Adeline?” “Apologize to Adeline right now!” Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth, dripping to the ground and splattering like a small red flower. I glared at the three of them, filled with intense hatred. “Wait until my parents arrive and see how you explain this to them.” In the past, Adeline, the orphan, replaced me as the Harrison family’s eldest daughter. I was harmed by her, my body sinking in the dark river. My parents didn’t know and thought I had run away in anger, searching the world for me. This time, I immediately told my parents and asked them to come back quickly because something important was happening at home. By my calculation, they should arrive in a few minutes. Adeline saw me spitting blood and quietly mocked me. “Dad and mom are going abroad; they won’t come back. Telling such a lie is incredibly foolish.” “Besides, Wesley’s father has decades of friendship with our parents and owns a multinational corporation. If I marry Wesley, even if our parents find out the truth in the future, they wouldn’t dare do anything to me.” As soon as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly shouted, “Nonsense! What are you doing?” Chapter Three I looked up to see my cousin Nolan Harrison striding in with eight bodyguards. The security guards quickly released me and retreated. Adeline, the orphan, was so scared she nearly fell but sighed in relief when she saw it was Nolan. She then shot me a gloating glance. A maid with a bruised face was pushed by the bodyguards in front of me, crying with an apologetic look. Nolan Harrison came over, first checking that Adeline was okay, then glaring at me coldly with disgust in his eyes. “Good thing Adeline is fine. Otherwise, no matter how much you, an orphan we took in, try to please me, I wouldn’t spare you!” In the past, no matter what happened, Nolan always favored Adeline. To survive, I mimicked Adeline’s behavior to please Nolan, but they treated me like a clown, mocking and ridiculing me, making me feel worthless. Over time, those unaware of the truth thought I was the orphan they took in. Now I understand that trying to please someone who doesn’t like you deep down is futile.

He let out a mirthless laugh and responded impatiently, “Are you asking me to mimic Adeline Harrison again? Should I mimic her ingratitude or her shameless impersonation?”
