Chapter 4

"Shut up! Your Mom is overseas working on a business deal, and your grandma is overseas on vacation. Neither of them can suddenly come back. And stop talking nonsense. Olivia is my daughter. You're just a housekeeper's daughter."

I found it almost laughable. The doubts I had carried suddenly had an answer.

No wonder they had been so bold. No wonder they had openly favored Olivia and even let her take my place. They were certain Christina and Elizabeth couldn't come back.

But they didn't know that I had already told them everything before I returned home. We were actually supposed to come back together.

But I wanted to get home and see everyone as soon as possible, so I booked the earliest flight. Christina had to pick up Elizabeth, so she booked a flight two hours later.

They should be arriving soon.

Once they got here, David and Ethan would be finished.

I glanced at David and Olivia before speaking coldly. "You say I'm the housekeeper's daughter and she's your daughter. Where's your proof?"

David's face turned ugly. "Do you really think I don't know who my own daughter is? I'm her father. I'm the proof you need."

Olivia, who had been silent for a long time, took the chance to pretend to calm me down. "Emily, please stop. Today is my big day. As long as you stop causing trouble, I'll forgive you for everything that happened today. I'll even give you some money. That way, you and your mom can live peacefully after you leave the Carters."

Everyone praised Olivia for being kind. But I knew the truth. She was scared.

She didn't want me to say anything else because she was afraid people would start questioning her.

So, I refused to let her get her way. "Your words mean nothing. Let's get a DNA test."

Olivia froze.

David's face turned red with anger. "That's enough! You have no respect for me at all!"

I stared straight at them. "Or are you afraid?"

Olivia hesitated for a moment. In the end, she reluctantly agreed.

But a strange light flashed in her eyes. "Fine. Let's do what Emily wants."

Olivia called the family's doctor and had him bring the equipment to perform a DNA test right there.

The results came back quickly. I immediately grabbed the report, ready to expose them.

But the moment I saw the results, my fingers began to tremble. "What? The DNA match is 99.99%!"

Olivia, David, and Ethan exchanged a proud look. They were clearly pleased by my reaction.

I gripped the report tightly. My nails dug deep into my palm.

At that moment, all my doubts suddenly made sense.

No wonder David had always been cold and strict with me. Yet he was always gentle and patient with Olivia.

He had once told me that he cared more about Olivia because she had lost her father when she was young. He said he only wanted her to experience a father's love.

But now I knew the truth. Olivia was his secret daughter.

I suddenly remembered how David and our housekeeper, Mary Lopez, often acted too close whenever Christina wasn't around. That explained everything.

In my previous life, they had been desperate to put Olivia in my place. After Olivia took my identity, they killed me. Then, while Christina was heartbroken, they tricked her into signing away everything she owned.

After that, they took control of the company and lived happily ever after.

David and Ethan were truly selfish. They had betrayed both Christina and me. They had even stolen Christina's fortune.

I would never let them get away with it.

Seeing me standing there in shock, everyone around us began laughing at me.

"How pathetic. She's such a liar that she even fooled herself. She actually thought she was a Carter daughter. Now she's been proven wrong!"

"That's the truth. Olivia has a real blood connection to them. What do you have? You should be ashamed of yourself!"
